PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- An 18-year-old single father whose struggle raising his toddler daughter was featured in People magazine has been killed in Philadelphia.
Terrell Pough was shot in the head on his way home from work Thursday night and later died at Temple University Hospital, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Police said they have no suspects but do have a possible lead. No further details of the slaying were released.
The August issue of People profiled Pough, who worked as the night manger at a local restaurant while attending school full-time and raising his daughter, Diamond, who will be 2 on Nov. 27.
"She's what I work for, what I live for, why I wake up," he told People. "She's everything."
Diamond, who had full-custody of his daughter, had planned to work in construction after graduating next June.
"If something ever happens to me, no one can ever tell her that her dad didn't take care of her," he told People.
LOLOL! Yes........but she's holding her nose the whole time. We are SINNERS, you know!
Look at my total posting history. Compare it to others. I think that is all you need to do.
Why are you so anxious to condemn this young man for shortcomings in his culture?
And you have yet to admit that you have accused him of sins you have no idea that he committed.
Bearing false witness is against God's law.
Are you saying everyone at FR has a life outside of FR? I think you should check your facts.
Shame on us for seeking to follow Christ's example. SHAME.
Except for the fact you've had posts pulled. So it really ISN'T your full posting history.
Reminds of a funny funny picture I saw on another website!!! Thanks for the laugh!!
"What I have to say about your family might get me banned...so I will leave it at that"
You just showed your true colors, yellowdog. You don't even know how much.
(Although I would really rather not be baking pumpkin pies between posts. ;)
Also, are you threatening me?
Christ got all hot about titilating pieces in sensationalist press? Hmm, I didn't know that...
Ha!
It's when the pies start burning that you know you've been on here too long (not that I've had that happen, mind you....
OK, it was cornbread ;) )
How about it, Ohiowfan!
I did a quick google search on this young man. Apparently, he was learning to be a carpenter.
Carpenter is a very noble profession. Good enough for some, know what I mean?
GOOD point, bonfire.
yellowdog's really offensive posts would have been deleted, so there is no way to find them.
And trust me........I've seen plenty of offensive posts from this one........all in the name of Christian charity, I might add....
Uh..oh yea... then yeah! I agree with you whole heartedly. :D
(I'm sure that made sense to you, but it made no sense to rational minds........do you mind clarifying for the sane among us?)
Everything you said is true, and you are still a cold hearted, inhuman cyborg.
He made a mistake, and unlike most young men of his peer group he stepped up and tried to make the best of it.
But then I bet you never made a mistake in your life.
Find the post Howlin is talking about and post it or quit lying.
