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.

One of Little Tez' friends has this picture up on her Facebook page. Get a look before they take it down. It appears either Little Tez was in a gun club for arthritis sufferers or he was a fledgling gang member. I am not knowledgable enough on gangs to identify the sign he is throwing up in the picture.
You gotta be freakin' kidding me! Here's one of his buddy's FB page:
Don't think it'll be up for long.
"I speak Jive"
They grow bad so quick.
It's actually a girl's page and the photo is of the dead thug.
It’s already gone
A kid with a gun can kill you just as dead as an adult with a gun.
Glad I saved the photo.
No wonder he got shot. That looks like a Rugar! Yuck!
"....Little bastard shot me in the ass!"
Not much media traction in that one ;-)
The bottom of the photo says he was born in ‘97...he would 14 (almost 15), not 13. My daughter was born in ‘98, and she is still 13—turns 14 next month.
One shot, one kill. Where’s the problem?
YES YES YES
Charge them as accomplices in armed robbery and murder!!!
I beginning to believe that Holder’s People aren’t just trying to be different when they name their children but that they truly are illiterate.
The couple did what they had to do, and they were 100% justified, but I take no joy in the death of a 13 year old boy, even a criminal. It is a tragedy, and his blood should lie at the feet of the “leaders” like Jackson, Sharpton and Farrakhan who have created and nurtured this sick, diseased culture.
Maybe NBC will photoshop a dozen roses in place of the pistol?
"How much you ment to me"
"Now you gone"

Who does this? Seriously - is this a joke?

Evidently, it is not a joke. Education isn't a priority in some segments of our society.
Jaqures Cortez Walker, for being that stupid, you have won an all expense paid trip to the morgue.
