16-Year-Old Arrested in Bronx Subway Murder

2007_08_myspace.jpgA 16-year-old Bronx boy was arrested for the Sunday murder of Rayquon Story aboard a 5 train. The police tracked down the suspect after someone gave Story's aunt a Myspace picture and said, "This is the kid who shot your nephew."

The person in the photo was identified as Robert Denis, and he was charged, as an adult, with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon. The police reveal some more details about what may have led to the fatal confrontation. According to the Daily News, apparently Story's friends and another group had an argument at an earlier barbecue. Police were called to break up the fight, and Denis had arrived at the barbecue around then. When Story and his friends left, "they were followed to the elevated train station by as many as 30 young men," including Denis. After another person asked for Story and Story identified himself, Denis allegedly fired six or seven times in his direction and then ran from the train.

Story's mother, who had begged for witnesses to come forward, told the Post, "I'm relieved, I really am, that they have a suspect."

16 years old and already shooting people. It's really sad to see young people involved in gun violence, because it means more and more kids will be carrying guns to protect themselves.

It's bad enough that most adults aren't mature enough to carry guns, but now you have truly immature people carrying guns as well. It doesn't bode well for the future of our society.

It's time for our government to focus it's attention on this country again, because it's falling apart.

Thank the FSM for snitches.
Sixteen... sheesh. What a tragedy.

That's some stellar police work, too. Break up the fight at a barbecue and then drive away as the melee moves to the train platform.

Yes, and to think he could have become a brain surgeon or even President of the United States!
Anyways, a little time in the big house might do him some good, or rather, society, some good.

Hey, the little big man got his 15 min to shine in front of all his friends. Too bad he'll be rewarded with 20 years, or more likely, 10-15 since he's a juvenile...?

I like to be in America!
Okay by me in America!
I'm gonna be shot in America
I'm gonna die in America

Why couldn't these kids brawl it out like normal teenagers. A few black guys and missing teeth, then all is forgiven.

16 years old and probably going away for 20 years. I hope he likes dudes. And anal.

Sorry, black 'eyes'. Was that freudian or what?

funny I was just talking about that number 12,
well not the Jew fund manager part but the lost retirement funds part.
or, the one ten cent part that could make a car safer but not done because it would be cheaper to pay out a settlement than to implement that part for safety.

did you guys know that there are only 14 million jews in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!!! Yeah. I thought there would be more but that's it. All this fighing in the middle east and anti semitism here in america and the entire Jew population is like a thimble. INSANE!!!!!

...and what's even crazier is that there are around 12 or so million Mormons. the race is on. Jewmormon Smackfest will be held in a few years in the Midwest since that would be neutral ground. winner takes all and doubles their population.
