DAYTON, OH (FOX19) - The Middletown teen who was shot and killed at the Dayton Mall over the weekend was trying to steal shoes from a man with a concealed carry license, police say.
Officials say the investigation shows that three male juveniles approached two men outside of the hhgregg store just after 10 a.m.. According to police, 16-year-old Jawaad Jabbar got out a gun and demanded merchandise from the men.
One of the men, who police say had a valid concealed carry license, produced his gun and shot Jabbar. Jabbar died from injuries sustained from the gunshot. "This was a random act of, 'I want something that person has and I'm going to take it from them,'” said Sgt. Jay Phares of the Miami Township Police Department.
Miami Township and Miamisburg police departments as well as the Montgomery County Sheriff's Officer and Dayton Mall security officers assisted with the investigation.
Police say all suspects were apprehended, witnesses were interviewed and several pieces of evidence were collected at the scene. Two male teenagers are now being held at the Montgomery County juvenile detention center awaiting charges.
According to authorities, all of the people directly involved in the incident were at the mall to attend a limited athletic shoe release sale. Police say the two groups did not know each other and they only communicated when an aggravated robbery was attempted.
Officials say Jabbar was the only person injured. The investigation is still ongoing.
“JJ was a good kid, making good decisions and turning his life around. Everytime he stepped on the field, he was determined to be the best player. It's upsetting that his life ended so soon and I just want to send prayers out to his family and he will really be missed,” a fellow football teammate, Messiah Haralson, told FOX19 NOW.
Middletown Middles athletics sent a tweet Saturday night in honor of Jabbar.
FOX19 NOW spoke to Jabbar's father by phone late Sunday. He says his son is a world-class young man, a good athlete and a good student.
Last week more than 200 people waited outside a Toledo area mall to get their hands on a limited edition of Air Jordan shoes. Toledo police had to set up barricades for the large crowd but some of shoppers pushed through the barricades, even knocking down some officers. Police were forced to deploy pepper spray balls to control the unruly crowd.

Well... they are mass produced in overseas sweat shops to keep the labor down. The don't last long , look like some gay male designer's idea of 'flashy', and don't do a thing for your feet.
The whole idea is that a celebrity(sport) endorses the shoes, and they are brought to the US and sold at high prices for high profit margins.
In the end, it is about a culture that believes flashy material objects will bring them happiness.
looks like every major city in Ohio.
“JJ was a good kid, making good decisions and turning his life around.”
They always say the same lying bunch of crap.
And he didn’t even say “Please, give me those shoes”!
yup... it's like the story isn't complete without turning it's life around
.....”It had really deteriorated. Dirty. Crime-ridden. All I can say is, it’s a crying shame.”......
Yes...I had heard it was once a beautiful city...not now though. I understand they’re trying to correct their issues and “come back” if possible. But it’s pretty bad.

Make me wanna holler.
The guy who shot him must have been black... otherwise they'd be marching in the streets by now... Black on black? Crickets.
There’s yer answer.
You can read all about this upstanding young man at the link below. Just started this school in September and had already been suspended twice.
Reminder to myself: add CCW course to my to-do list.
People in small towns will understand this. When big city people and their thuglets move to small towns, they get a rude awakening. The parents don’t pull their bully crap when their kids get arrested. From the Judges on down they will be told that they should do a better job of controlling their children. They learn to fit in and stop that “good boy turning his life around” sh!t.
Yep.........Although I have to say again that Troy was fabulous. I loved it there. A small community which President Bush came there when he was running and stood right there where the fountain is....it was awesome when he came there! I loved every minute of it and so did the entire community.
Here;s Boehner introducing him to a standing room only crowd....the streets all around the fountain and up all side streets were jammed solid with people! They said about 25,000 were there and I believe it! I was in that crowd!
Libtards always crap in their nest and then move some place nicer to crap there.
There was silliness all around here. But still. It wasn’t worth threatening someone else’s life (and promptly losing his own).
