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.

Maybe we need a new reality show that represents what happens if you break into the “wrong damn rec room” where someone is prepared for the thugs at any and all times. It could be called “Dead Right There”, or “Scared Sh#tless”.

There are dozens of shows that follow inmates through the booking process, trial, into prison, into ad seg, fights, prison politics, solitary, the whole experience.

The eighteen year old was likely showing out to the tyounger boys, thinking he could take a car and they could drive back to Maryland. The IQ level between the three was probably less than300.

Wasn’t thinking…

If he is 18 and the other actors are 15, then logic points to the dead one being the leader due to seniority.

People who would threaten to kill you because they want to joyride in your car are dog$hit.

Apologies to dogs.

Been there...not a place I would expect to be carjacked. But then who would?

Goggle maps shows the Exxon at 2300 Richmond Hwy. as being right across from the airport in Crystal City, not Potomac Yard.

Apparently carjacking has become the thing again, like the Uber driver that was crushed to death in a carjacking by two black girls near the Nationals stadium in DC — a family man, he tried to hang on to the car as they sped away :(

Without a doubt. I'd just as soon call them dead. Someone pulls that garbage, they left their "civil rights" in their other pants.

Black Teens Who Murdered Uber Driver Reach SHOCKING Plea Deal, Will Get ZERO Prison Time!

Two teen girls that faced murder charges over UberEats driver Mohammad Anwar’s death have reached a shocking plea deal that will keep them out of prison completely.

A recent carjacking in Washington, D.C., attracted national attention because the carjackers who are 13 and 15-years-old were caught on video during and immediately after the crime. There was outrage by many who watched the video and saw that as the Uber-eats driver lay dying close by, the girls were more interested in finding a cell phone.

“The teens used a gun to try to get the driver to give up his keys, police said. But the driver had a gun too. “

Sadly, this is the correct outcome.

At first I thought he was the victim. No, he was trying to steal a car. No sympathy.

Heading to Burnet county Texas. Close enough to my high tech job now in Austin but far away from the kind of idiots I’ll gladly leave behind in this f****d up state. Doing my part to keep Texas red. Once I retire Tennessee is on my short list of places to settle down forever.

Solid plan. Texas will be great compared to California.

Unfortunately, everyone tries to blame someone else. If we fail to learn from these tragic incidents, they will continue, especially under the defund the police movement.
