A 16-year-old boy was lured to his death following an argument 'over a girl,' in what authorities are calling a calculated and deadly plot.

South Carolina teenager Trey Dean Wright was found shot to death on June 24.

Nine teenagers, including the victim's girlfriend have been arrested following the savage attack.

Deputies discovered Wright lying in the middle of First Neck Road near Johnsonville - about 45 miles from Myrtle Beach, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds Fox New reports.

The teen later died at the hospital and in a chilling twist, authorities revealed the murder was caught on video.

'This was an altercation between two people,' Sheriff TJ Joye said, as reported by WBTW News.

'It’s not like I’m just going to go to Johnsonville and shoot somebody,' he added. 'They had issues with each other and it was over a female.'

Just one day after the shooting, Devan Scott Raper, 19, was taken into custody by the Florence County Sheriff’s Office, accused of firing the fatal shots after an argument turned deadly.

More like Train Spotting.

You both nailed it. ‘Childhood’ as we all knew it, is completely gone. :(

And here I thought raising kids in the 90’s was tough! Schools were REALLY starting to come on strong with the Socialist Agenda. I spent a LOT of time de-programing my boys while we did homework after dinner EVERY D@MN EVENING!

But, they STILL didn’t shoot anyone, so there’s that. ;)

A “presumption” is valid under certain circumstances and I think we are in those circumstances. Black dysfunction is pretty much on display and blacks and whites are the victims.

I like blacks but I loathe and despise their dysfunctional culture which the Left has does NOTHING to fix. The Dems and the Left want to keep them as their slaves and subjects.

It’d like to see blacks get delivered from their dysfunctional culture that keeps them from succeeding and instead keeps them self-pity, self-loathing and entitlement

Yeah, but what I’m talking about is all the Yogi Boo-Boo type crap we’re hearing here all the time now. Someone told me just yesterday that it’s making us sound like a nest of black hating racists here because there’s been so much of it. I realized they had a point. I know they’re just done in jest and joking but it doesn’t do our cause any good at all. I personally am done doing that. The person I’m talking about is a very conservative person that I have the ultimate respect for, and They’re saying their thinking about dropping our site because of the racial stuff like that that’s been going on here a lot lately. I pointed them to our site and they liked it very much at first, and they’ve been here now for more than a few years.

I personally will probably always be here until I get booted or I expire, but I hate to see the site lose good conservatives like them.

Adding an “i” might help ...

You know, I think people have a right at some point to vent their feelings about the almost non-stop abuse and mayhem at the hands of renegade black males, females, and youth in the last recent past up until now.

I don’t think its fair to say that if you object to this long train of offenses that they are racist. That’s the Left’s line and absolutely nothing changes - just the way the Left wants it.

At some point, I don’t really care what others say. The circumstances speak for themselves.

And it’s not all blacks. Some blacks don’t buy into all this crap. But too many of them do I think at this point. Hope it changes.

Jumping to conclusions like that makes us, and our site look like a bunch of racists.

It is not "racist" to bet on the odds and patterns established from previous experiences when we do not have complete or accurate information. It behooves us to get as much accurate information as we have time to obtain before taking any decisive actions.

It would be racist to tolerate behavior from White people that we will not choose to tolerate from Black people. The reverse of that is also true.

That's an old Monty Python joke from their TV show 'Now For Something Completely Different.' 😄

The eyes are the windows to the soul.

It’s a very true statement.

“Matthew 6:22-23:
This passage states, “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.”
