A 22-year-old Cobb County woman was charged with the shooting death of a Kennesaw student during a road rage incident that is slowly attracting national attention.
Kimberly Kilgore, 21, and Sparkles LaShayla Lindsey’s lives couldn’t be more different. The popular Kennesaw State University student loved country and western music, and she took pride in her vast collection of cowboy boots.
Lindsey emulated the thug life that was glorified by the rappers she idolized. According to published reports, Lindsey, of Austell, had a criminal record that most rappers would envy.
The two women’s lives intersected on a darkened stretch of Shiloh Road in Cobb County, GA, early Friday morning. A road rage incident involving 2 carloads of women ended with shots fired just inside the gates of Shiloh Green Apartments around 2 a.m.
Witnesses say the two drivers — Lindsey and Kilgore — got into a physical altercation in the parking lot of the apartment complex. At some point, Lindsey pulled a gun out of her waistband and fired a single shot, striking Kilgore in the head.
Kilgore was transported to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Lindsey and her friends fled the scene before police arrived.
Detectives secured an arrest warrant for Lindsey later that day and she was taken into custody without incident. Lindsey was charged with aggravated assault and murder.
Kilgore’s friends struggle to understand the senseless violence committed by a young woman who had at least 2 prior arrests for assault and battery.
Kilgore was scheduled to work Friday night at Johnny’s BBQ in Powder Springs. One of her co-workers was a passenger in Kilgore’s SUV that night.
“She works every Friday night and here it is Friday night and we’re walking around … just can’t even describe the feeling,” Manager Alisa Pannell told Channel 2 reporter Ashley Swann.
Cobb County residents vented their frustrations on social media and message boards. Most of the angry chatter centered around Kilgore and Lindsey’s skin color and the perceived media bias that suppresses race when a black kills a white.
Lindsey’s friends defended her on social media networks. “My old co-worker, Sparkles Lindsey, killed a girl over a road rage incident. While she was wrong, people need to watch how they drive,” tweeted Natasha Hall.
Lindsey is being held without bond in the Cobb County jail.
lol
Nothing good ever happens at 2AM it seems like
Mental illness can be linked to crimes and violent lash-outs
The story first said “shots fired” and then we find out it was a single shot.
And I admit I catch the local early evening news (5pm) on Fox5. and then a 6pm feed over on 11 Alive. I don’t watch em all but more like head lines and weather and then if a local story catches my attention I listen up.
Anyway I wasn’t really trying to do anything other than point out that the original cranky poster used a source that is hardly a hard news source and there was plenty of coverage that was available online. Guess I just made him crankier.
;)
LOL! Never happens to anyone on FR ;-)
I re-read the story three times and nowhere in the article does it mention anyone’s sexuality. Who say’s the murderer is a lesbian?
Every see a real bull dike with an attitude? Imagine a wolverine or a tasmainian devil.
ROFLOL
Angel of the bottomless pit no doubt. Called in Hebrew "Abaddon", in Greek "Apollyon", and in Gibsmedat "Obama".
“Don’t blame US! She was askin’ for it.”
I was making an old joke: Is that a pistol in you r pocket or are you just happy to see me. It is attributed to Mae West.
As far as Carry for women, my wife generally carries in her purse or a hip holster if she is wearing a jacket. It is her preference, not mine.
Often times to me.....I have to remember to keep my sense of humor.
When I get too cranky I put on some Jeanne Robertson and get to laughing myself silly. If that isn’t enough then I will throw on Bob Engval and Jeff Foxworthy. And last but not least Larry git er done....now that’s just funny
Have you seen Sparkles picture? I would definitely mistaken Sparkles as a man. By bringing attention to her sexuality explains the picture; as no mistake. I was actually expecting a Barbie look a like had it not been for the pic.
