Three Greensboro teens accused of killing a man with a fire extinguisher over the meager contents in his pockets were indicted by a Guilford County grand jury this week.
Larry Eugene Brown, 74, of 133 Greenbriar Road Apt. A was killed July 29 while walking to the bus. He died of massive blunt force trauma to the head, according to police. An arrest warrant states Brown was struck with a fire extinguisher. He was robbed of his wallet, a flashlight, a cell phone and $3.
D’Angelo Nathaniel Matthews, 17, of 3503 Sherbourne Lane, is indicted on charges of first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon. He was previously only charged with the first two counts.
“There was evidence to support the (additional) charge,” said Howard Neumann, Guilford County chief assistant district attorney who will try the case.
In addition to Matthews, Christopher Shakel Williams, 16, of 3616 Martin Ave., and Ketrellia Monaja Harris, 15, of 1326 Ogden St., are indicted on the same charges as Matthews. The trio is accused of conspiring to rob Brown that morning, then hitting and killing him with a fire extinguisher.
Williams was 15 at the time of the crime and Harris was 14, according to police. Both were initially charged in juvenile court and had court hearings on Sept. 3 to transfer their cases to Guilford County Superior Court, according to court documents. The cases were transferred based on the seriousness of charges. Both suspects had family attend the hearings, court documents state.
Williams and Harris are both in the Guilford County Juvenile Detention Center with bail set at $2 million secured, according to court documents.
Matthews had been in the Guilford County jail without bail. Matthews’ attorney, Mark Cummings, filed a request for a bond reduction earlier this month requesting an unsecured bond and house arrest, according to court documents. According to jail records, Matthews did get a bond reduction: his bail is now set at $2.5 million, which must be paid in cash. Matthews was 16 at the time of the crime.
The teens are accused of driving around in Harris’ mother’s Plymouth Voyager minivan early in the morning on July 29, according to court documents. Police found an empty fire extinguisher near the apartment complex where Brown lived, and got some information from the apartment complex’s video surveillance. They also got information about suspects from a Crime Stoppers tip, court documents state.
When police searched the minivan, they found evidence of a white/yellow powder — which was also found around Brown’s body, powder around an air vent and a ring pin similar to what’s on a fire extinguisher, a court document says. Police also took photos that show a positive reaction with Blue Star, the court document states. BlueStar is a chemical used by police to test for the presence of blood.
Brown usually walked to the bus each morning about 5 a.m. Police received two calls about a man down in the area on July 29 — one at 5:30 a.m., and another about 6:10 a.m. Brown was found off the side of the road near Church Street and Greenbriar Road, with a powder that appeared to be from a fire extinguisher on and around him, court documents state. A zip tab similar to what’s used to secure a fire extinguisher was found in the road.
Information on the next court dates for Mathews, Harris and Williams was not available.
Oh wait...
This is about 'teens' so wall to wall coverage doesn't apply.
You know what? I can’t read another story about a bunch of spoiled rotten, teenage, redneck, Tea Party children sharing a bottle of Chardonnay and then going out and randomly terrorizing innocent folk.

and where was “Watermelondria” when all this was happening?
Oh, wait...
The right-wing Conservative media led by FOX News and Rush Limbaugh doctor a photo of one of the perps to make him appear black-ish.
When fire extinguishers are made illegal, only the criminals will have fire extinguishers.
If Obama had a son.....

Typical feral yute. If only the stingy community had more midnight basketball...and free college.
Hmm, they have comments disabled for that news story.
Those teens and their crazy hijinks
I don’t know if they snuck up behind him and whacked him over the head, but I’ll take a guess here and say the victim was unarmed which probably proved to be a fatal error on his part. A few years ago I saw a CCTV video of an elderly Asian man walking down a sidewalk in the liberal cesspool of New York city and an Obamason walked up behind him and started hassling him for his money and goods, he started pushing this Asian man, the Asian man tried to walk away and the Obamason woudn’t let him, and then BANG, the Obamason punched the Asian guy in the face and down he went and then the Obamason proceeded to stomp him to death after which he smacked his fists together like he just scored a touchdown and walked away. Now if the Asian man was armed.....but he wasn’t because we live in a country run by traitors who have conditioned the public into thinking they are perfectly safe every time they go out when they are not. The fact is every time you go out unarmed, the bottom line is you are going out defenseless and any animal at any time, any place, can take advantage of that and make a decision right there and then if you live or die. F that!
And - surprise - their victim wasn’t.

Crows, Freepers new substitute for “Amish”?

Black violence, black-on-white crime is epidemic, and ignored by the MSM because it doesn’t fit the narrative. Spend a few minutes and look at this YouTube channel documenting the everyday, ordinary, “nothing to see here, folks” violence and pathology:

Yes, your personal safety trumps state laws that make it impossible for you to be able to protect yourself. I’d still prefer being judged by 12 than carried by six.
