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.
In MA, it is almost the only capital offense. And the vigilantes will take care of it.
Shoot a kid, rob a bank, blow up the marathon—nope. Cut someone off on the SE Expressway. Shot in the head.
I think it moves the issue away from Black on White crime.
The lesson here is to stay far away from “black” folk...far away. If you do have to get close, carry.
That is why everywhere I go I carry my 1911a1. I spend extra attention to detail so I do not wind up where I shouldn’t be, or don’t want to be, but in the end I or my family will not be victimized by this rapper-crap sub culture that is festered in the Obamanation.
I read that story but when I got down to the replies I couldn’t believe just how ignorant those people are by the way they write. Ebonics is making a comeback.
The internal conflicts, necessarily present with homosexuality, frequently fuel frustration that manifests in anger or self-destruction.
The popular Kennesaw State University student loved country and western music, and she took pride in her vast collection of cowboy boots.
I was most likely the same (small world) but after growing older, life is bigger than music and boots......
But it does beg the question what my friends/acquaintances might say about me when I am gone.
I couldn't understand what some of them were trying to say.
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.
And some people go around with a chip the size of Texas on their shoulders looking for something to be offended about.
I have seen this “chip on the shoulder....nobody gonna diss me!” attitude on just about everybody on and off the road these days...young and old, white and black, male and female.
Mellow, slow to anger folks are in the minority.
sorry, rhetorical
I won’t be holding my breath. That poor family that lost their daughter. The shooter followed the driver, and with a gun (she shouldn’t have had), I’d say that’s premeditation.
Time will tell, but I'm guessing that Sparkle will spend no more than 8 years actually in jail for this.
Of course!
I would assume you are right and somehow Sparkles is going to be turned into Trayvon and the Justice Brothers will start rolling.
My guess is that the two somehow became conflated. Of course, I might be wrong.
Priors for assault and battery. And Feminazis still insist that only men can abuse women.
Maybe if the driver had just accepted her beatdown (as the Left said Zimmerman should’ve), the student might still be alive today (brain damaged, fearful, abused, etc. but alive).
“THAT’S A MAN BABY!”
