Hampton, Va. – An 18-year-old man was shot and killed Sunday in the 2100 block of Kecoughtan Road by a man he was reportedly going to rob.

Hampton Police say 18-year-old Jafari Mitchell and a 15-year-old male had approached a 71-year-old man, displayed a gun and demanded money.

The 71-year-old man, fearing for safety, pulled out his own gun and shot Mitchell. The 15-year-old fled from the area.

The 71-year-old man remained on scene and called 911. Police say he cooperated with the investigation. No charges are being sought against him in reference to the shooting at this time.

The 15-year-old was caught and has been arrested in connection to this incident. He has been charged with one count of attempted robbery and one count of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

He remains in custody at a secure detention facility.

Don't mess with them older folks. So, since the one perp is gone, shouldn't the 15 yr old also be charged with murder since his buddy died during the commission of a felony?

The 71 year old man should be given a reward. There is no telling how much Jafari would have cost taxpayers over a lifetime.

He wasn’t killed. Read the last paragraph. He’ll survive to try again.

Negative. The 17 year old died.

The last paragraph refers to the 15 year old.

We don't see so well at distances, can't fight nor run very far nor fast, lose our breath after a minute of hard workout .... so we learn to shoot at close quarters

Looks like the older man saved the taxpayers a lot of trouble in more ways than one.
