The young people need to stop robbing and killing each other
and getting killed. Get up of their lazy butts and get an education and a job. Therefore they want need to be robbing stores and people.

For people that think they know anything he wasn't no gang banger he graduated from high and had a job and he had a 3.0 during his senior year. So don't tell me he'a a gang banger the police wanted to to that they didn't have no reason he was innocent by-standered and you guys have the nerve to sit here and say he deserved it no one deserves to die thats innocents and I know from knowing him for years that he was the sweetest man you would ever want to know.You guys on here make me sick what if that was your love one and you knew they was innocent people like you guys that think that deserves to die.He was suppose to suprise his mom and friends April 28, 2008 his welcome home from Chicago but look what happened and why would he rob a store he was finna start to work how does that sounds this was my step brother they did this to that was wrong how could u guys do that and say things like that u guys are disgrace to America if you ask me but he's in a better place away from you devils that will learn one day

Delisia, Can you tell me what finna means? I've always wondered but could never figure it out. Also at the beginning you said he had a job and than you said he was finna start to work. Which was it. Did you attend high school? If you did and it was the same one he gratuated from it didn't do you much good. Just because you go to school doesn't make you anti gang. If he was hanging around people that were shooting at cops, he was asking for trouble. I'm sorry for your loss but a person is responsible for their actions.

I agree. People do dumb shit and then they want to blame the police for it. What the hell did he think was going to happen when he shot at the police. He may have been a good person, I dont know him to say that he wasn't but people need to stop blaming others for their bad judgement.

i live around the corner from them and it was him and another boy and neither one of them had a gun one of the boys had a knife. Markham police are just thursty as hell. They shot both of the dudes in the back b cuz they was tryin to run, so how did they get what they deserved? who deserves to get shot in the back? they was wrong 4 tryin to rob a store but they could have caught them without shooting them, and u would think after they kill one of them then that would b enough but they tried to kill the other one. The dude antoine was my friend's lil brother. My prays go out to adrian and her family!

I AM A RELATIVE OF THIS YOUNG MAN SO ALL THE HATERS WHO THINK THEY KNOW WHAT THEY KNOW ARE WRONG!!! HE WAS NOT STICKING UP THE STORE!! HE WAS THERE TO MEET A FRIEND THAT WORKED THERE AND WAS SUPPOSED TO START WORKING THERE HIMSELF. THE POLICE GOT A CALL THAT THE STORE WAS BEING ROBBED, NOT FROM THE STORE BUT FROM SOMEONE WHO THOUGHT THEY SAW SOMETHING THROUGH THE GLASS WINDOWS!! WHEN HE WAS EXITING THE STORE, THE POLICE PULLED UP AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED FIRING. HE WAS SHOT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE BACK AND NEVER FIRED A WEAPON (WHICH WAS PROVEN BY THE AUTOPSY AND CORONER'S REPORT)!! IT WAS MURDER AND THAT WILL BE PROVEN IN COURT AS HE WAS AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER!! SO TO HELL WITH ALL THE NAY SAYERS, WE KNOW WHAT HE WAS AND WHAT WAS GOING ON!! HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE DISRESPECT A DEAD PERSON! ESPECIALLY A TEENAGER THAT WAS DOING WELL IN LIFE!! SINCE YOU ALL WANT TO TALK, TELL ME WHY THE HELL IT IS THAT WHENEVER A BLACK PERSON DIE THEY WAS A GANGBANGER OR THUG BUT WHEN WHITE ASS JOHNNY SHOOTS UPS A SCHOOL, OR MOLESTES LITTLE GIRLS AMERICA FINDS GOODNESS WHEN TALKING ABOUT THEIR PASTS OR ACTIONS? SOCIETY NEEDS TO GET IT TOGETHER!!!!

I am a black man and I consider anyone who robs people a thug regardless of their race or gender. It appears you may not have all of the facts. If he was not robbing the store why did he run? Look where he was shot in reference to the building. You are right society needs to get it together starting with our own community. The black community is killing itself and tries to blame it on everyone and everything else.

I don't see white dudes shooting and killing all the black men if that was the case there would be all kinds of protesting going on.

When are we as a people going to protest the innocent slauder of our people by our people? It is time now to band together, stop the excuses and find answers. We need to rely on each other and not wait for someone else to correct our problems. We need to become more independent instead of more dependant on the government and social services.

"TELL ME WHY THE HELL IT IS THAT WHENEVER A BLACK PERSON DIE THEY WAS A GANGBANGER"
Because 99% of the time they were. Most law abiding citizens aren't out on the streets a two in the morning. Most law abiding citizens don't rob stores and run from the police. It's true that sometimes innocent people get shot but lately it has been people in gangs.

okay even if it was a knife why in the hell was he just carrying it around. and why was he running if he didnt do anything. I know i wouldnt show up and my future place of employment with a knife. come on use some common sense. what do you think is going to happen if u run from the police. And another thing im pretty sure we are not "Hatin". what is there to hate on. Stop trying to defend stupidity.
