A mother is mourning the death of her 18-year-old son, who was fatally shot Friday in Alexandria, Virginia, after police say he and three other teens tried to carjack a man at a gas station and the man opened fire.
Jordan Poteat was a student at Suitland High School in Maryland, his mother, Kelly Poteat Stubblefield, said Wednesday as she grappled with the loss.
“He wasn’t thinking, and it led to him losing his life,” she said.
Poteat, 18-year-old Mikell Morris and two 15-year-old boys tried to carjack a man at an Exxon station in the 2300 block of Richmond Highway in the Potomac Yard area at about 3 p.m. Friday, city police said.

See my tagline and always CCW...always.
Jordan was just turning his life around...
“He wasn’t no angel, but he didn’t deserve to die for what he done.”
I don’t even have to guess.........
He WAS thinking... But wrongly.
A lot of people die during a time interval in which they weren’t thinking.
Another rap album that will never be released, thank God.
Jordan has been permanently rehabilitated 🤪
On Mother’s Day, I CC’d in church for the first time.
Another aspiring rapper just trying to fund his new career because he can’t qualify for a loan. Racist banks! /sarc
Did I miss a reference to the father?
Good idea! I carried too - a pocket knife because I’m stuck in Commiefornia. But not for long!!!!
So what’s a bunch of kids from Suitland, MD doing in Alexandria, VA?
Be careful anywhere near a highway that leads from VA to DC or MD. That’s Pentagon City, South Arlington, and Alexandria.
Or pack, like this dude.
Jordan and Mikell. I get it, “Michael Jordan”.
This Exxon, btw, is last stop for tourists to pump gas before returning rentals to Reagan airport.
What he was thinking was, “I’ll get away with this crime.”
He was thinking that he wanted something that belonged to someone else.
Covetousness is listed in the ten commandments for a reason.
Violating it leads to other sins which leads to death.
Exactly. So easy to be a father; not so easy to be a parent. Still, 72% of the fathers skip out on the responsibility of parenting their child. You need to man-up and start raising the children you fathered.
