Murder at Bronx Burger King

A dispute between a manager of a Burger King and a neighborhood teen to a parking lot standoff where they both pulled guns. Sixteen year old Shaka Walcott was fatally shot in the torso while 45 year old Ronald Johannes was shot in the abdomen (he's in critical condition at Jacobi) on Saturday night. While it's unclear what led to guns being drawn by both parties, a week or two ago, Walcott was upset that Johannes wouldn't serve him when he was closing up the shop; they had a fight and Walcott spit on him. During the shooting, an employee said, "People were crying, screaming, yelling, everyone was on the floor."

Johannes was arrested for second degree murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon. One friend who was familiar with Johannes and Walcott told the Post, "There was tension between them, but I didn't think it would come to this."

its ok "voice of reason" and "Jessie" I understand that 2 he was foolish...but this is the part no one knew about...Shacka went there with a friend who had a bullet proof vest on at the time who shot the manager Shacka did nothing but spit in the mans face..the only reason why shacka got shot 9 times was because she was standing there with out a vest. "wrong place @ the wrong time"

I guess some of you retards can't read that the kid had a gun. Spitting in the face was just an additional disrespectful action before the shootout occurred. The kid lost said shootout, good riddance. I hope the manager gets off totally clean.

To those of Shaka Walcott`s family, I mean no disrespect but this guy was no angel. He spat in the manager`s face. I know that isn`t an excuse for the shooting... but come on, that`s the most disrespectful thing you can do to somebody... and it may push anyone off the edge. And Shaka`s intentions were wrong, he showed up with a gun, I hope the manager pleas self-defense.

RIP Shaka...

Keep ya head up Johannes...

Live by the gun, you die by the gun! Period. End of Story.

"nice and sweet and he was aspiring to be good"

aspiring to have a shootout sounds more like it.

you seem to live in a bubble of your very own.

the guy was a douche.

he thought having a gun would give him power.

well look what power he has now. none.

it was a waste of human life.

James King

He did have a gun. You're just obviously biased and trying to defend your pos family member who didn't have any respect for the manager who was in charge of running that BK.

shacka b wacka!

SSW i Love yOu

Shacka was my cousin and shacka had no gun to all you ignorant people saying good riddance, i hope you all die too. There was no reason for someone as sweet and nice as Shacka to die out in the streets like that. please keep your ignorant comments to yourself because you all do not know him.Shacka was nothing but nice and sweet and he was aspiring to be good. Doubting Tom i hope that happens to you or someone you love deeply. im tired of your ignorance. he was not protecting his establishment. he was being a punk because he was scared of my cousin. please get your facts straight before you mention

anything.

evan:

you must be from Alabama. Or you are a white guy that thinks he is down with the street lingo and trying to be funny. Go get you Ebonics Dictionary. Or go back to surfing the BET channel of shows and your favorite Rap records.

People in New York; Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan don't use the following:

alls they do say (all)

reals they do say (real)

whens they do say (when or den)

praise lawd! they do say (it's: praise God)

wants they do say (want)

You use them and they make you sound fake.

stone cold from hell

evan:

Go back to FIRST grade and learn proper english.

Can't understand your words.
