PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. – Two teens were arrested after an argument on Christmas Eve ended with their sister being murdered, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.
In a release, deputies said they responded to a shooting at 2357 22nd Ave. SW in Largo, where they found siblings Abrielle Baldwin, 23, and Damarcus Coley, 14, suffering gunshot wounds.
Both were taken to the hospital, though Baldwin ultimately died from her injuries, deputies added. However, Coley remains in stable condition.
Detectives explained they discovered that Coley, Baldwin, and their 15-year-old brother — Darcus Coley — went shopping for Christmas that evening with their mother and Baldwin’s two sons, a 6-year-old and an 11-month-old.
Afterward, they went to their grandmother’s home, which is where Damarcus Coley, Darcus Coley and Baldwin got into an argument over Christmas gifts, the release shows.
“Darcus was jealous that their mother Joyce was getting 14-year-old Damarcus more gifts than he was receiving,” Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said. “So they had this family spat about who was getting what, and what money was being spent on who, and having this big thing going on.”
Damarcus reportedly threatened to shoot Darcus Coley, but their uncle managed to remove him from the home, Gualtieri explained.
Baldwin reportedly told Damarcus Coley to stop arguing because it was Christmas time, though he responded by threatening to shoot her and her 11-month-old son, whom she was carrying, detectives said.
“Damarcus then began arguing with Abrielle and used some very derogatory language — I won’t repeat it all — and all kinds of profanity,” Gualtieri said. “He was calling her a whore and all kinds of other stuff, and stated that he was going to shoot her and that he was ‘going to shoot the baby, too.’”
According to the sheriff’s office, Damarcus shot Baldwin while she was holding her son in a baby carrier, and Darcus Coley then came out and shot Damarcus in return.
Darcus Coley fled the scene, throwing his gun into a nearby yard and contacting his mother, deputies said. He was later taken to a mental health facility due to “self-harm statements” and is expected to be transferred to the Pinellas Juvenile Assessment Center after he’s released, the release states.
During a news conference on Tuesday, Gualtieri said that “juvenile delinquents” are getting their hands on firearms either by purchasing stolen guns on the street or through car burglaries.
“Both Damarcus and Darcus carried guns all the time. They routinely carried firearms on them,” he said. “People knew it. That’s what they did.”
Damarcus Coley faces charges of first-degree murder, child abuse and delinquent in possession of a firearm. According to Gualtieri, the state attorney’s office will determine whether to charge him as a minor or an adult.
Meanwhile, Darcus Coley faces charges of attempted first-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence.
The racist indoctrination would hold true if there was a significant increase in inter-racial murder. But black on black has been extremely high for decades.
There is also a thread about the Daily Mail article which had a messed-up headline referring to Texas. SMH.

All I had to do was read their names to know what the race was.
The names are sufficient
Who was her Secret Satan?
What is wrong with those people?
No doubt about it. The crime rates and single parent children rates among blacks are way higher than whites. So what's the solution? I say it's to win for Christ. For example, we can point out to today's blacks that their ancestors a century ago had a lower illegitimate birth rate than whites did...when a large percentage of blacks were into Christ for real and not just CINOs -- Christian in name only. We can point out that in the first few decades of the 20th century, Tuskegee Institute (a black college) was graduating more future self-made millionaires than was coming out of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton combined. But again, that was when Tuskegee had a Christian first / black second mentality as per George Washington Carver's influence.
Even blacks have a time when the numbers showed that they did the right thing and it worked for them. But that's only when they return to Christ. That's the battle we have to win for America. And not just with blacks.
“Let’s be honest, this time it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with being a nutcase or not being raised right.”
This might help.
Correct, it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with culture.
The urban culture is optimized to turn out sociopathic killers. White democrats perfected it.
Such a “vibrant” culture!
Human life means nothing in the hood.
It’s the Gorgeous Mosaic.
I read the initial headline. I understand it happened in Florida. The initial headline mentioned Texas. How does Texas figure in? Were they from Texas? Were they going to Texas? Were they thinking about Texas? Strange.
Dirty little savages.
14 year-old shoots older sister (by a different baby daddy), then the middle brother (15 year old) shoots the 14 year-old?
What the heck? Such great parenting... to raise these punks with such an entitlement mentality that they would shoot their own “siblings” due to a perceived imbalance in Christmas gifts? Are you kidding me?
appx 12% of the population; commits appx 60% of all murders
I could be wrong, but I think it’s worse than that —
Blacks are about 12% of the population.
But murders are certainly most often committed by men rather than women.
So we’re talking about 6% of the population.
But murders are mostly committed by young people between about 15 to 30.
So maybe we’re talking about 3% of the population.
I’m not sure it’s true, but I think 3% of the population commits 60% of the murders.
Did you happen to catch the DM article about the 3 little bastards in NYC that opened fire on a vehicle and killed a 28 year old mom (I think it was last night)? And it's all on video of course. The 3 appear to be in the age group you mentioned.
Hey, if this happened in California, it had the potential to be the first ever “Ebony Alert”.....but the bros would have had to take her body and hide it.....u get my drift.
But instead of a headline calling this a "Family Spat" the headline would have read, "Greedy members of white family go on Christmas day murderous rampage".
