After a teenaged boy was shot dead Friday night on West 144th Street in Harlem, the police are now offering a $12,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of his killer. The Daily News reports that Scotty Scott, 13, was on his way to buy sneakers, but stopped to chat with friends playing dice and apparently got caught in some gunfire. The two other teens who were wounded are not cooperating with police. Scott's sister said, "No one had a beef with Scotty. I mean he was 13 - who has a beef with a 13-year-old? We have babies shooting babies right in our streets, right in front of all of us. Something is very wrong with the world."

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.
