Police: Teen shot at Dayton Mall tried to rob man for shoes
Toledo News Now ^ | 12/24/14

Posted on 12/24/2014 1:30:59 AM PST by Impala64ssa

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.

Turning his life around my ass!! OK everybody, wreaths and flowers for the makeshift memorial, CHECK! Candlelight vigil organized, CHECK! Did someone call out for the grief counselors? CHECK! Still waiting for the attention-starved has-been celebrities to put out mindless tweets about the need for more gun control. Oh, yeah, almost forgot, somebody's gotta contact Al and Jesse to take time out of their busy schedules to come over to the Dayton area to talk sh!t and agitate.

Don’t forget the order will that will come down. No more of these sales on coveted shoes will be allowed, as they are the cause of the problem.

In a better world, the man with the concealed carry license would be honored publicly by the president, and not just never have to buy another drink for himself in his town for the rest of his life.

Jawaad Jabbar got out a gun and demanded merchandise from the men.

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

I’m thinking NOT!!

I’m also thinking I know where the name came from and you can’t make these type things up “He shot Jawaad..”

Another case of someone not telling the young thug that getting hold of a firearm and developing a badass attitude doesn’t make YOU bulletproof.

You OBVIOUSLY have a handle on the situations. You definitely have a eye for detail. I congratulate you, sir.

FWIW.....My favorite ride was my 1960 Chevy Impala 2 dr. hardtop, white with red interior.

We have to start sending these families letters and such: “Your son died trying to steal sneakers”

I’m sick of it! He wasn’t even trying to stay out of trouble (no real problem there normally) and now another mall is trashed because of thugs like these.

There’s no such thing as an isolated case of Gibbsitis.

That disease is pandemic in certain communities.

Making great decisions, too.

I wonder what his idea of a bad decision is.

I know it might sound a bit Scoogeish, but when you think of the consequences caused by these thugs over the period of many years, the quicker these are extracted permanently off the street, the better.

I wouldn’t count on it just yet. While it may be one of the older malls still standing, it does have a couple of things going for it:

1) Unlike the (defunct) Salem Mall, the Dayton Mall still is surrounded by relatively good neighborhoods, somewhat south of Dayton itself. For what I know, the main contingents of Dayton-area gibsmedats come from the west, north, and some parts of the east.

2) The incident puts more fear into criminals than it does customers. Not only did the main criminal lose everything from it, so might the other two if felony murder doctrine applies.

If the Dayton Mall declines by any means, it will likely be for not finding a replacement for the Sears anchor (or some other financial cause), not out of crime.
