20-year-old
Diaviante Dunmore, 17-year-old Marsais Dunmore, 18-year-old Faysal
Abdullahi, and 16-year-old Semarias Woods. They are all being charged as
adults and are currently held on $2 million bail each.
The charges include first-degree robbery.
The
four suspects are accused of participating in an armed robbery at
Turnkey Park in Kent. According to court documents, one of the suspects
used an OfferUp account to meet with a group of friends who were selling
camera equipment. When they met, one suspect emerged with a gun and
robbed the 15-year-old carrying the equipment.
When 13-year-old
Matthiew Stavkovy attempted to leave the park on an ATV with his sister,
prosecutors say one of the suspects shot him, and the group chased
after them as they fled. Stavkovy passed out on the ATV and died shortly
after. He was described as a standout student, devoted to his family
and faith.
"They had a getaway driver. They arrived early to
stage themselves before the victims’ arrival. Despite the defendants’
young ages, this shows a surprising amount of planning and forethought,"
prosecutors stated.
Based on statements from other suspects and
the possession of the modified handgun, it is believed that 17-year-old
Marsais Dunmore was the one who shot and killed Stavkovy. [source]

Fifteen-year-old
Valeria Rodriguez was fatally shot by a stray bullet that flew through
her family's Round Lake Beach, IL home while she was having dinner with
her sister.
Shorbonia Poole Jr., 19, was charged with one felony count of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon on Saturday.

stated that Poole Jr. is a resident of the home where the search
warrant was executed, and their investigation revealed that he was in
possession of the firearm used in Rodriguez’s homicide.
Ironically,
the Rodriguez slaying reminiscent of Emmett Till, who was killed in
Mississippi in 1955. Both victims were 15. Although the suspects in
Till's case were acquitted in court, his death continues to serve as a
lasting example of white-on-black violence. [source]
13-year-old Jayda Woods-Johnson died after being struck by stray gunfire at a Linwood, WA mall.
16-year-old Samuel Gizawmale will be charged with murder, police said.
The
victim was shot when an altercation erupted between two groups of
teens, during which a male teen pulled out a handgun and fired at least
one shot. The victim was not involved in the conflict.
Reports did not mention the racial composition of the groups.
About 52 percent of homicides are committed by blacks, according to FBI statistics. Blacks comprise about 13 percent of the country's population. Considering most homicides are committed by males, we can assume that nearly half of all homicides can be attributed to black males; about 7 percent of the population. Then, considering very young and very old males seldom commit homicides, we estimate that about half of America's homicides are committed by young black males who comprise about five percent of the country's population. That is, about five percent of the population — young black males — commit about half of all homicides. [source]

Patricia McKay, 68, was dragged to death during a robbery attempt at a Newport Beach, CA shopping mall.
Arrested were Malachi Darnell, Leroy McCrary, and Jaden Cunningham.
McKay
and her 69-year-old husband — tourists from New Zealand — were attacked
while waiting to be picked up outside the upscale shopping center. One
of the suspects held a gun to the head of McKay's husband and demanded
his watch, forcing him to the ground. When they were unable to get the
watch, the suspects turned their attention to Patricia McKay, who was
holding shopping bags, prosecutors said.

into a parking lot. Prosecutors allege that Cunningham grabbed the bags
McKay was holding, throwing her to the ground in the process and
dragging her into the street in front of a Camry.

was "clotheslined" by a bystander while attempting to flee — sticking
out his arm to strike the man as he ran, knocking him to the ground. The
other jumped into the Camry.

fired shots and led police on a high-speed chase into Los Angeles
