Above the fray.

Thanks for posting the update/news clip. The Mom should have just not taken questions. Whoever eventually lands on the jury will have seen this press conference when the case goes to trial.

Reporter says that police/video says that the deceased ran towards the property owner at some point., AFTER running towards the getaway car.

Think man on the porch might have thought he was gonna get ambushed by whoever was in the car, and squeezed.
Then fired again when he saw the teen heading towards him.

The other guys were gonna wait and drive off, until the first shot. And they stranded the teen.

DC employee charged with killing Karon Blake, 13, to be released from jail: Judge



A Washington, D.C. judge on Thursday morning ordered the city employee accused in the shooting death of 13-year-old Karon Blake to be released from jail.

7News' D.C. Bureau Chief Sam Ford learned of the news at Jason Michael Lewis' felony arraignment after an indictment was handed up by a D.C. grand jury last week.

Lewis faces six charges, including second-degree murder, according to court documents.


Prosecutors say the 41-year-old shot and killed the teen in Northeast D.C. on Jan. 7 after Lewis told police he saw Blake possibly trying to break into cars in front of his home. Lewis tells detectives he shot Blake when the teen ran toward him.

Lewis turned himself in on Jan. 31., shortly after charges were filed.

A warrant states that Blake yelled, "I'm a kid, I'm a kid" before collapsing after being shot.

In February, Blake's mother told 7News she hopes Lewis is convicted.

"I really hope that I get justice for my child. I hope he's convicted to the highest. Justice for Karon," Londen Blake said.

In D.C., there is no "stand your ground" law, with current law allowing non-deadly force to protect property. Deadly force may only be used if there is a reasonable fear for your own life or the life of others.

A trial is set for April 2024.

He wasn't carjacking anyone though

He wasn't a threat, had no weapons, and was 13 years old

I get that crime is bad in DC, but murdering a child who wasn't a threat can never be the answer

Kids look into cars everywhere, and yeah it sucks, but the punishment for it sure as fukk should not be death

1. In today's world, you often don't know if someone is 13. Sure maybe if you are close proximity to them u can tell. But if you're at your door and someone is on your property you can't tell, nor do you know if they have a gun.

2. You can't take the chance to approach them to see how old they are, bc again, they could have a gun.

3. So do you just run outside and tell them to get off your property? Again, that's not safe either. They could have a gun or weapon of some type and now you might be the one to get hurt.

4. Should he kid be dead? Absolutely not. And that's a tragedy. Very very sad. But you don't know how other ppl will react so it's best to keep your kids away from crime, even petty crimes

Unfortunately since the dude live in Dc and not Texas he’s going away for awhile..

There's video with audio that someone posted earlier in the thread. After the 1st shot I think, the kid started crying and screaming "please no, I'm 12 years old"

Kid also never entered his property or posed himself as any threat.

I do get what you're saying, I just think this wasn't the situation to keep shooting to kill. The guy stood behind a gate and just emptied a whole clip into a little kid that never so much as approached or threatened him

I haven't watched any video on this this is my first time even hearing about this case.

What you described is very sad.

1. Who's to say that the guy even heard him say he's 12 yrs old with shots going off. Or even in between shots.
2. Again, we nevrr know what mindframe ppl are in. Person shooting could have been robbed previously, or they could be throwed off mentally.....or they could just be racist against black ppl.

Sad situation all around
