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.
Depending on how the two survivors end up in the court system, that might end up being two or three permanently off the streets.
Kind of like that here in Texas. We have a joke of rabble rouser Nouveaux Black Panther Leader named Quannel X(lax) that is our version of a race baiting punk.
A number of years ago, a homeowner killed a couple of punk black thugs trying to make a home invasion, and QX tried to make an appearance.
Watch what happened in that neighborhood when he tried. It's worth the price of admission.
Let me clarify a bit. The Hero went out and protected his neighbor’s house. Still the same happy results.
Dayton’s already had its own version of those two - in the form of the McLin family. After seeing that family wreck West Dayton, mishandle the dead, and contribute to the departure of National Cash Register, it would be a better idea for them to stay clear of the city.
The only way it could be a net positive is if the McLin family (and Rhine’s hat collection) left w/ Sharpton and Jackson.
Curious, the perps are always ‘turning their lives around’. Well, yeah, alive to dead. That’s the ultimate turn.
His companions should and likely will be charged with murder.
And a Happy Christmas to you, FRiend !
Well, we could continue the conversation into necrobeastiality masturbation, but that would just be beating a dead horse.
So they're honoring a thug who got himself killed while committing a felony?
It's funny, though, no one has ever tried to steal my $24 Sam's Club tennys.
Do they all have this script memorized? Is the parent/neighbor/passing acquaintance handed a card by the reporter? “Name was a good kid, making good decisions and turning his life around."
I know where he “Got his Shoes” now. In his coffin!
> Jabbar’s father... says his son is a world-class young man, a good athlete and a good student.
Y’know, other than participating in a gang conducting armed robbery.
“We have to start sending these families letters and such: “Your son died trying to steal sneakers””
It would be in bad taste to do that, but it would also be funny as hell.
Here’s a post from the other day that made me genuinely laugh out loud:
“Meesa day-o starting out okey-dokey and gettin’ monies for da fun times, when BANG BANG! Dat Jedi sure be quicksy! Now meesa not so okley-dokely.” - AppyPappy
Wasn’t me. I’m not that creative.
You’re right - I was looking at the “to” line instead of the “from” line.
Kudos to CCG.
Their children are acting in bad taste, and they try to ascribe some larger purpose to their deaths (like an alleged epidemic of police brutality) rather than own up to their poor parenting.
I just think it should be clarified for them why their children are dying; it seems that once the children reach an out where they have outlived their usefulness in winning freebies for the parents (and often earlier), they are turned loose on society and the little parenting that had been provided stops.
Jawaad should have contented himself just stealing money from the taxpayers legally via his free EBT card and free 0bamafoam. Then he would be alive to steal again next month when his free refills came in.
