Teen robbers open fire on victim behind Texas Family Dollar, but victim also has a gun — and turns the tables lethally
'What are they doing about these kids getting out of school and being in the streets during school times?'
Armed teenage robbers opened fire at a victim behind a Family Dollar in Beaumont, Texas, last week, police said.
But the victim also had a gun and turned the tables — lethally.
'I I just think that it's sad that our babies are just dying left and right, and nobody's doing anything.'
Police said its investigation — helped by witness accounts and video surveillance — determined that Jayson January and Brenden Earnest, both 17, as well as two juveniles acted together in a plot to rob the victim near Avenue B and Harriot last Friday, KFDM-TV reported.
All four suspects attacked the robbery target and fired shots at him, police told the station.
However, the victim also was armed and returned fire at the suspects, KFDM reported.
One of the suspects — January — was hit by gunfire and died in a grassy field near the store, the station said.
KLVI-AM reported Monday that Earnest turned himself in and was charged with aggravated robbery — but the two juveniles, ages 15 and 16, were still at large.
Earnest was being held at the Jefferson County Correctional Facility on a $1 million bond for the aggravated robbery charge as well as a $10,000 bond for unlawfully carrying a weapon, jail officials told KMBT-TV.
By Wednesday, the two juveniles also turned themselves in, police told KBTV-TV, adding that there had been warrants out for them on aggravated assault charges.
Detectives are continuing to investigate and complete their findings so the case can be submitted to the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, KBTV said.
One woman reacting to the incident told KFDM during an on-camera interview that "I just think that it's sad that our babies are just dying left and right, and nobody's doing anything." The woman asked, "What are they doing about these kids getting out of school and being in the streets during school times?" She also declared, "Something is not right here. Make it make sense."
From a commenter:
these "babies" were old enough to KNOW they were to be in school and not to try and rob people
obviously we need GUN BANS and RED FLAG LAWS - yeah that would stop 4 MINORS who can't buy legally from getting guns right??
these "babies" were CRIMINALS and had OTHER WARRANTS already for assault charges -they were bangers, thugs, degenerate delinquents already and I doubt that even if they were at school they would be passing classes and doing work at grade level.
if they were made to go to school they would start fights there or simply WALK OUT without consequences or not care what they were, if enforced.
this goes DIRECTLY to the community culture or lack thereof
the lack of a father in the home
the lack of consequences for actions from young ages
mother's complaining that their "babies" are just "good kids that made mistakes" and blaming racism, bigotry, or the school for their LACK of ability to bring up their children as CIVILIZED people because they are not civilized themselves
only sad part about this is that the one they tried to rob didn't fire straight and put all 4 of them in dirt naps in the nearby field
