A 13-year-old boy in Washington, DC, was shot and killed by a homeowner who claimed he was breaking into cars. The community is demanding the shooter's identity be revealed.
Karon Blake was fatally shot with a legally registered firearm on Quincy Street around 4am on January 7 by an unidentified homeowner who heard noises outside of his home and thought someone was 'tampering with a vehicle,' DC Police reported.
The teenager and the man reportedly got into a confrontation before the shooting occurred, and after shooting him, the homeowner did perform CPR.
Blake, who was found by police with multiple gunshot wounds and is believed to have been unarmed, was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Two other youths are suspected of fleeing the scene after the homeowner approached them.
Police also said they found a stolen car in the area and believed the Brookland Middle Schooler had used it, according to NBC Washington.
Now, the local community is demanding the homeowner's identity be released and that he be charged with murder.
DC Police have said they are talking to the US Attorney's Office to decide if charges should be fired. Identities are typically not released until charges are filed, but the community members are demanding a name now.
'Vigilante behavior is not the way to go about it,' Frankie Seabron, a member of the DC Safety Squad - an activist group - said. 'We really should value people more than we value property.'

some times CPR can “expedite” the bleeding out.
The modern-day automobile is the equivalent of the horse in the old west. And horse thieves used to be shot or hanged in the old west. Just saying.
If people were as valuable as he says, where are his parents? Where are his values? Who has let him pursue this behavior? If you don't demand accountability of the criminals, they will continue to pursue this lucrative trade until people die.
How else he goona get money for skoo?
4am, three against one. What would have happened if he didn’t have a gun? If he hadn’t fired? Would the other two have ran away?
‘Vigilante behavior is not the way to go about it,’
Think of all the people in the future, who will NOT be robbed or have their cars broken into by this now room temp punk.
13 yr old boy breaking into cars today...Tomorrow, he may be breaking into homes...Then he may rape and/or kill person living there...
That’s why Butch Cassidy never stole a horse.
I wonder if the shooter was that d1ck that killed Ashli Babbit.
This is what happens when you have Soros-backed, soft-on-crime scumbag DAs and judges.
It emboldens every petty thug and criminal to do whatever they want since there are no real repercussions.
Then, the decent citizens get tired of having what they work for vandalized and stolen by marauding freeloaders who will not be held accountable and they take matters into their own hands.
Justifiably, I’m most cases.
We can't have vigilante justice. Give us his name so we can have vigilante justice!
Get a freaking job.
*in most cases.
Interesting article.
Not a peep about the kid’s parents.
You wonder wrongly....
That’s what I call a hard lesson to learn, but needed. Just think of all the future crimes the kid won’t commit.
SPJNK.
Pure Social Justice.
