Relatives of a 17-year-old are angry the teenager was shot and killed by a homeowner who police say was protecting her property.

The sister of the teen who died identified him as Trevon Johnson. She said he was a student at D.A. Dorsey Technical College.

“I don’t care if she have her gun license or any of that. That is way beyond the law… way beyond,” said Johnson’s cousin Nautika Harris. “He was not supposed to die like this. He had a future ahead of him. Trevon had goals… he was a funny guy, very big on education, loved learning.”

On Thursday, police say Johnson burglarized a home south of 79^th Street near I-95 — just blocks away from where he lives. …

Guess he was just working his way through his tech school by burglarizing his neighbors.

Kind of scary if he would have actually got a tech degree. All we need are more criminals working with sensitive information

[A CA Guy]

Don’t burgle unless you want to maybe die.
Works for me.

Another Trevon. Just great. Another of Holder’s people.

“He was not supposed to die like this."

He was not supposed to burglarize someone's home like this either!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Trevon had goals

Apparently one of them was to rob houses.

People who don’t respect others get what they deserve. From the family’s comments, its obvious he was brought up wrong.

“You have to understand… how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point-of-view.”

He had goals, and he had to burglarize someone to attain them.

If the homeowner was “white” we’ll be hearing a lot about this in the media.

At least he died doing what he loved.

[boycott]

Nice to hear of a happy ending.

He won’t be threating the lives of others in the future.

Men...a 17yr-old is not a “kid”...trespassing and stealing within another person’s home do not have goals, they have habits and addictions, be it sex, drugs, and/or money...to feed.

Whether he deserved it or not is for Him to say, all we can o is protect what is ours. The homeowner was in the right here.

Here you have it the Hood Mentality. “You have to look at it from every child’s point of view that was raised in the hood,” said Harris. “You have to understand… how he gonna get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point-of-view.”

But as one commenter said,His relatives should be happy as he died doing something he loved!! LOL

Pesky Mormons at it again, burglarizing. I knew it had to be a Mormon when I read the headline. /sarc

Look on the bright side Baby Mommy, its one less egg to fry.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Studying to be a politician, starting small and working his way up.

very big on education, loved learning.

Except in what really mattered. In *that* respect, he became one of the 'Nuffin' clan, as in "Dinlurn"...

He had goals, and dodging bullets wasn’t one of them.

Look on the bright side Baby Mommy, its one less egg to fry.

One less bell to answer.
