A 13-year-old boy was shot dead in Harlem last night. Around 7:30, Scotty Scott was shot in the chest and stomach and died instantly in front of an apartment on 144th Street off of Malcom X Boulevard. Two other teenagers were shot and wounded. Both are hospitalized in stable condition. Police do not have a motive or any suspects, but witnesses said the shooter and the victims were just having an ordinary argument before the gun was pulled and shots fired. "Everyone was running for cover and screaming. There were puddles of blood on the ground," a man calling himself 'Fortune,' told the NY Daily News.

Wait. Scotty Scott? Seriously?
The culture of Harlem is under attack by the white people moving into the neighborhood!
Maybe he was mistaken for Scott Scotty.
goddamn those gentrifying yuppies and their random acts of violence like this.
I bet it was a white yuppie, or a hipster or a rampageing cop.
Absolutely NO pattern involved.
Mortgage crisis or shootings are not going to stop us gentrifying your corner of NY!
Okay, white guys, you've made your point: Harlem blacks are thugs and murderers, and should relinquish their land to you.
NY's finest just named Marky Mark as a person of interest.
All anyone wants is for these retards to stop shooting each other over some bullshit slight. Why should we limit this to Harlem thugs? There are plenty more trigger happy, gangbanger pieces of shit in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island and Queens.
It's easy to make over-the-top insensitive comments and overly-sensitive response to those comments behind the veil of the bbs.
I don't like the idea of outsiders coming in and re-engineering someone else's neighborhood, but I also know, as someone, a white guy who works in the neighborhood but doesn't live there, that it's sad as hell to see flyers asking for information on a 13-year-old kid shot at dinnertime in a neighborhood where there are plenty of people who aren't troublemakers, and it's also sad to see flyers offering cash for guns.
An 18-year-old punk? Maybe he'll be a punk forever. 13-years-old? Kid still had a chance, however slim.
