CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police have charged a 19-year-old man they say fatally shot two teens in the South Shore neighborhood after they asked how tall he was.

Police say Laroy Battle, 19, opened fire on two teens in an alley in the 7900-block of South Luella Avenue around 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 20.

According to Deputy Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan, the shooting took place after the two teens and a friend had a brief encounter with Battle, whom they did not know, in a corner store.

"The victims commented, because, since Battle is quite tall, and they asked him how tall he was and you know, hoped to be that tall someday," Deenihan said. "And unfortunately, obviously we'll never see the full growth of these poor children."

As the three teens walked home, two of them were shot multiple times in the alley. Police said they recovered 9 shell casings from the scene.

Is that the reason he gave, or is there more to the story?

Hmm...2 killed, meaning the story is all coming from the third “teen”. 3 on 1 in an alley, but they dindunuffin; just asked how tall the man was. They didn’t demand his money and phone or take his dope without paying.

Somewhere in the 5- or 6- or 7-foot range. Probably.

Surveillance cameras outside the gas station captured the alleged gunman walking with a heavy limp.

Not sure what a heavy limp is but his right foot has something wrong.

Black on black violence...no one cares.

No one can help the black man except himself, and Jesus.

It may seem alien but it is nothing new. I saw interviews with yutes 30 and 40 years ago with similar little regard. Now maybe they were trying to appear tough but it was unnerving anyway. They basically were saying they would kill if someone looked at them the wrong way. The beginning of the infamous disrespectin.

I hope no one in prison asks him how long he’s in for.

Might have been a ruse to get in close to the tall guy and rob him, or worse.
