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.'

He’s out at 4 a.m. breaking into cars. We can probably safely say that his parents don’t care about where he is. Betting that he is a hood rat and 1) has no idea who or where his sperm donor is or 2) sperm donor is in prison and his mother is shacking up in the projects with her latest boyfriend.
DemocRats have made stronger chains on Blacks than the slave masters of old ever forged.
A less smart Trayvon...
That doesn’t even make sense.
Be a shame if “somebodys” went over to Frankie Seabron’s house, tuned him up and took all his property.
he only because “got into a confrontation before the shooting occurred” and wasn’t smart enough to run when caught...
He’s more valuable to his parents now than ever. He could be their ticket to big bucks in a civil suit.
At the age of 13 at 4am, I would have been sawing wood for a couple hours yet.
“Outraged Community” is a few loud-mouth lefties.
Yup. His parents probably just hit the ghetto lottery.
Quincy Street is in NE - used to be a warzone decades ago, but since, almost like the entire District of Columbia, has been gentrified.
Frankie Seabron is a total a-hole for claiming the shooting was “vigilante behavior.”
Exactly.
People are getting fed up.
“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.”
What are you saying?
“’We really should value people more than we value property.’”
Stop locking your doors then and put a sign up pointing to your daughters room.
“he only because “got into a confrontation before the shooting occurred” and wasn’t smart enough to run when caught...”
D.C. He never suspected the gun.
IATG
Darwinism knows no minimum age.
When police refuse or are restrained by policy from performing the job they were hired to do, vigilante justice will fill the vacuum.
One of the unappreciated services that police are called on to perform is to protect the criminals from the angry mob.
I’m saying you don’t steal a man’s horse/car.
