I don't get it. What is it about these sneakers that have people killing other people for years now?

Quote:CINCINNATI — Police were studying mall surveillance video Tuesday in their investigation of the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old Ohio boy authorities say tried to rob a shopper in his quest to obtain popular, limited-edition athletic shoes.

Miami Township police said a man with a concealed weapon permit fired his gun after he and another man were accosted Saturday morning by three teens on a sidewalk outside the Dayton Mall. Police said one teen had showed a gun.

Jawaad Jabbar of Middletown died a short time later of a gunshot wound to his torso, authorities said.

Police said the two groups — the three teens and the two men — didn't know each other, but had all had gone to the mall south of Dayton for Nike Air Jordan sales offered by multiple stores.

Police Chief Ronald Hess said Tuesday the stores had set up systems to avoid long, tense lines that have led to problems elsewhere when the popular brand has released new versions, and the three Middletown teens apparently missed out.

Police said the teens were outside on a sidewalk when the two men left the mall carrying newly bought shoes.

"They did have the boxes from the stores that were having the limited-edition sales," Hess told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Police said Jabbar displayed a gun and demanded their merchandise, then the man with the concealed weapon permit pulled out his gun and shot him. No one else was injured.

It's a symptom of the growing gap between the haves and have nots.

No it's not, his parents gave him the money to get the shoes.

He didn't get in line soon enough to score his, so decided to steal someone's that got there early enough and waited in line.

The kid's biggest problem was a crappy job of profiling - his target had a concealed carry permit, and when the hoods pointed a gun at the would be victim, he pulled out his gun and shot him.

Of course, relatives all say what a good boy he was and didn't know he had been in trouble on other occasions.
