BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) -
Birmingham police say a 13-year-old robbery suspect was shot and killed by the person he tried to rob in Birmingham Friday night.
The Jefferson County Coroner's Office confirms the teen's identity as Jaqures Cortez Walker of Birmingham. He was a 7th grade student at Martha Gaskin Middle School and the quarterback for the football team, according to a family member.
BPD Sgt. Johnny Williams said the teen suspect approached a couple as they pulled into their home at the gated Skyview Condominiums in the 400 block of Skyview Drive around 11:10pm. Friday, April 27. Skyview Drive is off Robert Jemison Road. The suspect had a T-shirt over his face like a bandana and was holding a cocked and loaded gun, Williams said.
Police say the would-be robber approached the male occupant of the car and told him to "Get out and give it up." The man had his own gun in the car and shot the teenager. The teen ran a few feet, collapsed and died at the scene, Williams said.

When do the baby pictures of the assailant come out?
Oh, this is AWFUL! A beautiful young teenage boy, CUT DOWN IN THE PRIME OF HIS LIFE, by those horrible GUNS! The shooter of this child NEEDS TO BE PROSECUTED! NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!
THE "STAND YOUR GROUND" LAW MUST GO!
If Obama had a son, he’d look like this kid.
Another promising NFL career cut short.....
But they lived in one of those evil 'gated' condo complexes, so . . .
There’s a photo at the link in which he looks about 9 years old. Oh dear.
JADN
1. Does he look more or less like Obama’s son than Trayvon?
2. Did he have a bag of Skittles on him?
3. Is the shooter white or half-white?
“Get out and give it up?” Well, the car’s occupant gave up a well-deserved bullet for the lil hoodlum
The thug had a gun, and would likely have killed somebody real soon if he hadn't been cut down first.
ATTN: Jesse Jackass and Al Shaptoon.....pick up the BLACK courtesy phone.
Proof that being stupid can make you dead....
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The perp could have been any age. He was just a threat with a gun.
Kudos to the resident for the courage to fight back - and win!
This kid was only following Obama’s example...and trying to redistribute some of Whitey’s wealth!
So here we have a thirteen year old with a cocked and loaded gun, trying to rob two people. The adults who raised him should be ashamed.
I’m sure that the Reverends Jackson, Sharpton and Farrakhan are enroute to Birmingham.
