The teen shot and killed by a Jefferson Parish deputy sheriff in a Metairie warehouse late Tuesday (July 26) had attempted to fire his weapon but the gun may have malfunctioned, Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said in a press conference.

"Devon Martes tried to kill one of my officers," Normand said, referring to the 17-year-old man who was killed. "Devon Martes is not the victim. The victim in this case is Deputy Dave Dalton."

The shooting took place just before midnight at 4013 N. Interstate 10 Service Road inside a warehouse used to sort and distribute newspapers to dealers for delivery. A video of the incident was later released by Advance Central Services-Southeast, a sister company of NOLA Media Group, which operates NOLA.com and publishes The Times-Picayune.

The video shows Martes raising what appears to be a gun and twice pointing it to the deputy before the officer shoots him.

Let’s just hope he had not procreated yet.

I doubt we’re that lucky.

I’m sure the DNC could squeeze his mother in to give a speech on how the cops are racist, right?

[BBell]

He probably had 4 babies and 4 baby mamas.

I don’t have my glasses on right now. Why are there black worms growing out of the guys head??

BTW, the JPSO deputies are pretty well trained. Jefferson parish is Harry Lee's old stomping ground. This is how the JPSO trains their snipers. Pretty effective and cheap.

Being raised to be a Thug indicates a general DNA related lack of intelligence.

I’m going to guess he wasn’t much into maintaining his weapon.

They call them “chee wees”.

[BBell]

I think I will agree with you.

[stevio]

Good shooting by the cop.

Yea that gun looks beaten all to hell. Reading the synopsis I just assumed it was a Hi-Point.

[AppyPappy]

Oh no. Devon was going back to school to study being an aspiring rapper.

[Paladin2]

Well, it doen’t look like he was holding the gun sideways...

[BBell]

I prefer to call them “expiring rappers”.

[BBell]

See post 26. Pretty cool how their snipers train.

The issues you describe is exactly why they breed as minors; the males basically live on the periphery of the females set up by the state in public housing with the food stamps and such. The males are also interchangeable; they move from unit to unit breeding with other mates.

Looks like Deputy Dalton was trying to do young Devon a favor because that Beretta looks like it was shot out of somebody’s hand.

Damn, what a waste of a life. Satan steals another one.
Thank Goodness the Deputy was well trained and ready, but I blame Obama, Holder, and BLM for encouraging this madness.

[Farmer Dean]

Me too.I’ve had it since ‘94,never a failure to function.Looks like somebody beat the life out of that though...
