"It's like he's still here, and I feel him holding me up," she said."

I'm sure the couple in the car felt him holding them up too ... albeit briefly.

Skin tone of shooter not described. I hope this does not turn into another Trayvon Martin case.

With a name like Ja'Quares, the kid was marked for thugdom from the start.

And the mom -- yelling from the house does not constitute watching your children and knowing where they are going and with whom. If you don't know the people that just rolled up to take your *13* year old kid somewhere, get your ass out to the curb and find out. Sheesh.

Doncha' just love his Christian name Ja'Quares? Put that name on top of a resume (if he would have decided to work), and see what pile that'll go on.

Here is the unarmed photo of the unarmed and Ja'Quares, who tragically had his unarmed life taken, which will appear on the unarmed People and unarmed Newsweek magazine covers this unarmed week:

Older gang bangers use younger gang bangers all the time to commit crimes.

"I don't want it put out like he was a bad person or a mean person, because he wasn't,"

Guess what, sunshine? Accosting people, threatening them with a deadly weapon, demanding that they surrender their property ... these things qualify your precious angel as a bad person and a mean person.

Time to face reality.

[TexasCajun]

I believe the other hoodielums in the car can be charged with murder for the death of Ja'Quares since they all were involved with this armed robbery.

Pls confirm?

“Skin tone of shooter not described”

Is there really any doubt?

And yeah, with a name like “Ja’Quares” she pretty much set his life path for him.

I just hope the Lexus driver makes out OK.

[grobdriver]

Even if he did this, someone had to put him up to it.

Probably right.
Gang initiation.

[Islander7]

Sounds like gang initiation.

Typical response from moms of these thugs...”My baby is a good boy. He wouldn’t hurt nobody....yadda, yadda”.

[tbpiper]

He would have had a better chance in life if his mom would have just named him ‘Bob’.

I guess this kid looks like he could be one of Barry’s kids also.

“Even if he did this, someone had to put him up to it. Why else would 16- and 17-year-olds want to hang out with a 13-year-old boy?” she said. “It’s not the way he was raised.”

*************

Not the way he was raised?
That is so laughable.

Lady, what the heck was your “13’ year old son doing out at 11pm? Were you to busy clubbing to care!! I am sick and tired of women like this coming forward with mamma drama after the fact talking about how good their children were. You’re not pulling at my heart strings lady, you are a deadbeat mother and your son is dead because you failed him.

If the one that shot him was black, he had better be put through the same hell they have put Zimmerman through!

Proverbs 22:15: "Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him."

No telling what crimes I would have committed had my parents not provided strong corporal punishment to drive folly far from my heart.

Sometimes kids go down the bad path despite the parents' best efforts and it may be unfair of me, but I have my doubts whether this deceased boy received the corporal discipline he needed to drive folly far from his heart.

"I don't want it put out like he was a bad person or a mean person, because he wasn't," Latonya Walker, 38, said Tuesday.

Oh, no.. he was an angel. All he wanted in life was to think about Jesus, his Momma, and an occasional handful of Skittles. Oh... and a new hoodie.

[Fresh Wind]

It’s impossible to evaluate this situation without knowing the race of the shooter. /s

[JRios1968]

The mother of a 13-year-old boy fatally shot when police say he tried to rob a couple said she is in shock that her son is dead -- and even more so at the circumstances surrounding his death.

"I don't want it put out like he was a bad person or a mean person, because he wasn't,"...

Because good teenaged boys spend their evenings carjacking folks all over the place. It's harmless!

[rawcatslyentist]

>""I don't want it put out like he was a bad person or a mean person, because he wasn't,"

Nice people commit armed robbery?

The parents need to do the time for the crime!

“The driver pulled a gun and shot Ja’Quares multiple times.”

[ScottinVA]

Wearing a gray shirt around his face like a bandana and armed with a loaded and cocked pistol, authorities said Ja'Quares approached a black Lexus SUV with a couple inside and ordered the driver out. The driver pulled a gun and shot Ja'Quares multiple times.

Obviously, angelic little Ja'Quares picked the wrong intended victim. Live thug, die thug.

"All I can do is pray, and know God was ready to take his angel."

God doesn't deserve this slander. If this were my son - and my sons have done some dumb*ss things, although not attempted armed robbery - I'd be apologizing to the people he assaulted for making them shoot him.
