A 13-year-old boy in Washington, DC, was shot and killed by a homeowner who claimed he was breaking into cars. The community is demanding the shooter's identity be revealed.
Karon Blake was fatally shot with a legally registered firearm on Quincy Street around 4am on January 7 by an unidentified homeowner who heard noises outside of his home and thought someone was 'tampering with a vehicle,' DC Police reported.
The teenager and the man reportedly got into a confrontation before the shooting occurred, and after shooting him, the homeowner did perform CPR.
Blake, who was found by police with multiple gunshot wounds and is believed to have been unarmed, was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Two other youths are suspected of fleeing the scene after the homeowner approached them.
Police also said they found a stolen car in the area and believed the Brookland Middle Schooler had used it, according to NBC Washington.
Now, the local community is demanding the homeowner's identity be released and that he be charged with murder.
DC Police have said they are talking to the US Attorney's Office to decide if charges should be fired. Identities are typically not released until charges are filed, but the community members are demanding a name now.
'Vigilante behavior is not the way to go about it,' Frankie Seabron, a member of the DC Safety Squad - an activist group - said. 'We really should value people more than we value property.'

Why steal a horse, when you can steal money and buy one? Thieves were not hung, unless they murdered a victim or bystander. Don’t steal a horse or rustle cattle, and the regular folks think you are a pretty good guy. I thing Bonnie and Clyde were a bit of a leftover from those days. Until they started killing, the masses thought they were very entertaining.
I am not the person you asked, but YES. I think the Judicial system is totally corrupted. There is no Justice, there is no law in the land.
Or mess with his dog or his wife... Lol
” I think the Judicial system is totally corrupted. There is no Justice, there is no law in the land.”
My wife lived in a country where there was justice. She recommends that you go live inone of the communist countries for a few years.
Why not? I am retired, my car is worth 6 months of my life force, it is not replaceable. I traded time on this planet working for these things, instead of running around the streets stealing. The same applies to my household goods, jewelry, TV, tools or furniture. They cannot be replaced because I have maybe 5 years left to live, I am unable to work. Five years is about $60,000 to replace “just my things”. I would kill to protect them without blinking my eyes. You see, I am elderly, and I cannot work. Damn straight I would kill. When you steal something valuable, you steal someones time on this Earth.
His daddy was probably out tom catting somewhere working on another one just like him.
There should be a couple of punk kids that could tell “ the community” who the shooter is.
“My wife lived in a country where there was justice. “
My wife lived in a country where there was NO justice.
let’s just hope it was a learning experience for all parties involved... prolly not
Yes
He was an aspiring thug after all
Maybe Frankie needs to have his home and car busted into a few dozen times and see if his views evolvd.
Are you really saying there is "justice" in communist countries?
See #108
I’ve always taken hear but 100% agree that if you steal and happen to do it at the wrong time to wrong person it’s 100% your own fault if you wind up dead and no loss to society
“296 HP”, hang or shoot 296 times!
LOL. Very good.
Don’t remember the name of the street but I was staying at a Red Roof years ago for a family event, I will NEVER go cheap again!
IOW, the perpetually aggrieved wish to lynch someone.
Hypocrites.
Nevermind their perpetual defending thugs.
OK
