A second teenage suspect has been arrested and charged with murder related to a large brawl near downtown Atlanta in July that erupted into gunfire, injuring two teenagers and killing a third.

Kentavius Dayquan Jeffries, 19, of Atlanta, was charged with murder, criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, Atlanta police said in a news release Monday. He was served arrest warrants at the Fulton County Jail, where he is being held on unrelated charges related to a mid-October incident.

The brawl took place just after 10 p.m. on July 3, police said. A group of nearly 50 teens was reported for fighting in the 600 block of McAfee Street before gunshots rang out.

When officers responded, dozens of the teens ran away, leaving behind three who had been hit by gunfire. Two suffered non-life-threatening injuries, but the third, 14-year-old Kaidan Barlow-Gardener, was wounded in the chest and was unresponsive when police arrived. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Instead of making up Roman sounding names, why don’t these parents just use the real old Roman names, like Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, or Gaius Julius Caesar? Maybe the kids would live up to distinguished real names.

He seems nice.

They can’t name any Romans, there is only one parent around...maybe, and distinguished is a word that will never be associated with hood trash.

I overheard two black male soldiers speaking of a female acquaintance.
The female had just come back from maternity leave.
One male asked weight, gender, and name,
the other rattled off the first two, then made 3-4 attempts at the name.
They both (and i, on the other side of cubicle) cracked up when the other said
'sh____it, that baby be in 4th grade fore she be spelling her name!

Where are they getting Quantavius and Kentavius? Why not use Octavius (a real name) instead?

Way to set your son up for a great life, mom.

Kentavius Dayquan Jeffries... Now that there is quite a moniker..! :)

[EEGator]

They are just making it up. They don’t want a white person name.

[EEGator]

That is fantastic!
:)

[CatHerd]

They should be. For naming him that.

[CatHerd]

Wow! And the funny thing is, I bet Pentagon’s would really love that!

[Little Ray]

Parents?
Why do you think he has parents?

[napscoordinator]

Yuk. Did you see that mass murderer’s picture from Michigan. Folding his hands in prayer? Gross. I agree with you on the fraud the media tries to portray. Hope he gets the chair.

[Cecily]

They might be pretty good at Latin if they would learn it. The word syllables would appeal to them.

[gundog]

Don’t go there.

[CatHerd]

Yikes! Spellchecker changed “Kentavius” to “Pentagon’s”! Now we know the CIA is really behind the dreaded spellcheck, darn spooky spooks messing with my lowly little FR posts.

Or Gluteus Maximus maybe...
