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 Lindseys lives couldnt 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 womens 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.
Kilgores 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 Johnnys BBQ in Powder Springs. One of her co-workers was a passenger in Kilgores SUV that night.
She works every Friday night and here it is Friday night and were walking around just cant 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 Lindseys skin color and the perceived media bias that suppresses race when a black kills a white.
Lindseys 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.

Justice for Trayvon, don’t you know?
what does being a lesbian have to do with it? why call attention to this?
Sparkles LaShayla Lindsey...
Didn’t really need a picture...
Perhaps they mentioned she was a lesbian in order not to mention that she is black. LOL
We can be almost certain that Lindsey did not have a CCW license, otherwise that would have been in the headline.
She had instead at age 22 two prior felony convictions, yet somehow was out and about instead of in jail.
Another white life taken by a black one.
Open season folks, when are white people going to wake up?
No but she being a black lesbian thug, is rumored to have hit on thug lovin' DeeDee
Well I appreciate it. Now I have time to puzzle over more important things. Like “what will it take to stem the tide?” Or maybe I’ll just go look at some puppy/kitten videos, and let the rest of y’all worry about the world for today. : )
I think it should be there. If nothing else, it points out the hypocrisy in the system. If the roles were reversed, it would be a double hate crime with 24/7 coverage. Instead, it’s just a poor little white girl who doesn’t fit in to any of the “diverse” groups so no one cares.
Excellent point.
That, My FRiend, will never happen. The sun will burn out first and every star in the universe will fall in your front yard before that happens. In fact, eternity will begin and end before the media tells the truth.
Because in WVA driving stupid is a capital offense.
Is that a pistol in your pocket... oh wait you're a lesbian.
Nah nah nah d d 2 Purdy for her ! You made me spit my coffee out my mouf!
You forgot the tag, (I hope).
Fortunately, those days are over. It is almost cloudy as to how to make children. //sarcasm
