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.

Me too but it’s interesting how things current can click on memories of things in the past.
Or calls him Shorty.
no shoe on his foot....
Hospital gift shops are not normal places to shop unless you are visiting someone in the hospital.
Francis and Riley had just purchased snacks at a South Shore gas station when they were shot.
Ok.... now the hospital is in a gas station?
This is smelling fishier then a sardine in a steam bath.
I guess tall enough....
“Being shot in the alley behind a building is not as painful as being shot in the package delivery area. Ouch.”
And being shot in the rear is even worse. Especially if its buckshot. You may not be able to sit for a week. :)
And everybody bitches about Planned Parenthood in the hood. These are the ones that were missed.
If you find his mug shot, you can read his height off the police yard stick. Hope the prison mattress is long enough for him and Bubba.
At least no one was shot in the fracas...
LaRoy is 6’3” or 6’4” according to the police presser. Just does not make sense.
Note to self: when in the Chicago hood, never ask a dude with a neck tattoo how tall he is.
Is this a ‘protest’ and we’re not allowed to comment on it or we’re racists?
I’m sick of criminals.
Sick of pity parties ... sick of democrats calling criminals ‘protestors’.
A man looting a store is a criminal. He’s NOT a protestor.
Mobs vandalizing city property are criminals.
Thugs setting off fireworks to bully citizens are criminals.
Walking with a socked foot in an alley in Chicago - probably littered with glass shards, dog crap, used hypodermic needles, etc. - but he's wearing a facial mask!

Maybe a ricochet of a bullet he fired—or a fragment.
Agreed. Blacks killing blacks don’t help the marxists in the leftist media to urge on the rioters.
JoMa
Where do the “white supremacists” fit into the equation?
Black Lives DON’T MATTER when KILLED by OTHER BLACKS!
Its sarcasm.
Laroy “Too Tall” Battle.
So was mine.
