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.

i blame this suarely’on his ‘parent s and the entire black community.

they have forgotten to teach their spawn to live by the golden rule. if they did this one simple thing we’d have far more positive societal encounters with blacks than we do now.

Good thing the armed robbery victim choose to violate the mall’s no-weapon policy!

"Jawaad Jabbar?? Bwaahaahaa!"

There you going, blowing the family's anonymity.

They were trying to keep his last name ("Bwaahaahaa" out of the news and you had to put it in print.

Now Mr. and Mrs. Bwaahaahaa won't have a moment's peace.

RIP, Jawaad Jabbar Bwaahaahaa.

“Damned Racists, always catching the brotha just as he’s making good decisions and turning his life around...

Good shooting citizen, prepare for an onslaught of “No black boy should die for a pair of shoes” even though he was apparently ready to kill for them.”

LIKE.

“”JJ was a good kid, making good decisions and turning his life around.”

This is said so often I’m wondering if this is “code” that middle-aged white people don’t understand for “he was a prison inmate in the making”...but, given that the guy is dead, which is certainly sad, at least to his mother, they just don’t want to say it.

Obviously, bad decisions and running one’s life the wrong way was involved here, up until the big flash and bang went off.

“He had apparently been an altar boy but decided instead to turn to robbery.”

Good thing he didn’t get the band uniform holed.

Hmmm, Guess JJ didn’t get things turned around quite fast enough, hey? You know, given that he was shot to death while attempting to commit armed robbery.

“He says his son is a world-class young man, a good athlete and a good student.”

I am pretty sure that has now changed. Forever.

World class? Not when they talk about him turning his life around. I am so tired of hearing that phrase.

“They should be charged with the murder of their accomplice. They engaged in an act that caused their buddies death.”

From what I’ve read, in California, yes. Ohio—?

Middletown Middles athletics sent a tweet Saturday night in honor of Jabbar. Uh, honoring a 16 yo thug who threatened the life of another human being with a gun for the purpose of stealing that person's shoes?

That's certainly deserving of "honor".

Out of curiosity, is Middletown Middles athletics a middle school? Just what is it? More half ass reporting.

Obama’s imaginary son in the news again. In the process of turning his life around via armed robbery for a pair of shoes.

You can’t make this bovine excretion up.

An example of what will increasingly result from all of these protests.

They know not what they ask.

Upon what do you base that assumption? Not that he is dead, but that his mother is sad. She may be so, but it is certainly not a given.

I swear I had to check that this wasn’t satire.
