Teen gunned down in possible NYC gang hit made frantic call to mom telling her he’d been shot before dying: sources

14 year olds do dumb things and want a lot of things. Seems like it’s an issue from what the article indicated.
His death marked the third fatal shooting in Crown Heights this week.

Sadly things aren't like the days of old. A 13 year old with some gang friends taking in an NBA game with no parental supervision and coming back to a shitty neighborhood in Crown Heights is a recipe for disaster.

"sources said was affiliated with the Drench Crew gang"

and

The teen’s stepdad, who did not want to be identified, told The Post that Gill was coming home from the Barclays Center when he was shot .....

“Troy was a good kid,” the man said outside the family’s home Friday. He wanted to be … [an] aspiring rapper, basketball player. He is a good dude — 13 years old.”

Typical in all the normal ways. First, a gang member got killed doing gang shit. That's the game they play getting themselves involved in dirt and the risks are no secret. Second, no accountability. Cut it with the "he was a good kid" nonsense. Good kids don't do gang shit. Good kids work hard to prepare to be an adult, have high morals and values, respect their neighborhood (as in actual respect, not hood "respect"), and grow up to contribute to society. Sure kids make mistakes, but the good ones are on the right path even with those mistakes. Being held accountable requires these kids parents to hold them accountable... and well.. that isn't about to happen.

He was 13 so I have a hard time agreeing with this. I’m sure his parents are no good and 13 is too young to make proper decisions. It’s hard to feel too bad though because he was a gang member. Lots of failures here.

I hope they find the shooter and take his pistol permit away before they let him out with no bail.

The Black community seems somewhat tolerant if not complicit, perhaps as a fact of life with murders among their brethren where other races simply will not tolerate it unless its a crossover case the Keystone Kops cannot or will not "solve"...que the marchers crying and carrying signs about how we need more gun control for their babies that didn' do 'nuffn or that shouldn't be shot for committing armed robbery.

Its sad that a 13 year old was killed, I blame the demoncrats for the culture of dependency on the government over the nuclear family that they have created, and the parents for buying into it.

In spite of the govt feeding them shit, keeping them dumbed down with a bad education system, keeping them drunk and high, making them feel like they are less than anyone else as oppressed victims, they do have personal responsibility to step up and do better.

Some people are wired bad from birth, but largely kids are a product of their environment, meaning their parents, their peers, and the culture they are surrounded by.

Glock Switch used? Or just Plain Glock with ghostly features?

I understand, and I don't feel all warm and fuzzy saying what I said. But it is what it is. Thing is, a lot of the young bangers are in an advanced stages of banger mentality. Sad indeed, but true.

Wrong take IMO. At 13 did you know it was wrong to gang bang and get in shootouts? I knew that was wrong at 13. I would have known it even if I wasn't told as it's pretty obvious. I'm pretty sure you did too.

I'm not celebrating it, but I'm also not going to feel bad about it.

There is likely a major difference between me and this young man. I was raised right with two parents who cared and did their best. Was I perfect or were they, certainly not. Also the only time I ever knew there were gangs at that age were when I watched cops on TV.
I would say I knew what was right or wrong at that age but I didn’t always do what was right for sure.

I once walked in on a discussion between a couple supervisors regarding a homicide that had occurred on the evening tour.

I made an inquiry if it was a real homicide or a misdemeanor homicide.

The LT looked at me like an idiot and said "there's no such thing as a misdemeanor homicide"

I replied "if it's skell on skell, and no humans involved, then its a misdemeanor homicide."

He stormed out redfaced as the 2 Sergeants laughed their asses off.

More importantly... 6 casings found and he caught 4 rounds.
Thats a pretty good accuracy rate.
