Four young males have been charged with first-degree murder:

20-year-old Diaviante Dunmore, 17-year-old Marsais Dunmore, 18-year-old Faysal Abdullahi, and 16-year-old Semarias Woods. They are all being charged as adults and are currently held on $2 million bail each.

The charges include first-degree robbery.

The four suspects are accused of participating in an armed robbery at Turnkey Park in Kent. According to court documents, one of the suspects used an OfferUp account to meet with a group of friends who were selling camera equipment. When they met, one suspect emerged with a gun and robbed the 15-year-old carrying the equipment.

When 13-year-old Matthiew Stavkovy attempted to leave the park on an ATV with his sister, prosecutors say one of the suspects shot him, and the group chased after them as they fled. Stavkovy passed out on the ATV and died shortly after. He was described as a standout student, devoted to his family and faith.

“They had a getaway driver. They arrived early to stage themselves before the victims’ arrival. Despite the defendants’ young ages, this shows a surprising amount of planning and forethought,” prosecutors stated.

Based on statements from other suspects and the possession of the modified handgun, it is believed that 17-year-old Marsais Dunmore was the one who shot and killed Stavkovy. [source]

Stakely, a school speech therapist, had just finished a shift at her second job when she arrived to pick up her son.

Surveillance photos and videos show three suspects walking away from the abandoned vehicle.

Shorbonia Poole Jr., 19, was charged with one felony count of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon on Saturday.

Investigators stated that Poole Jr. is a resident of the home where the search warrant was executed, and their investigation revealed that he was in possession of the firearm used in Rodriguez’s homicide.

Ironically, the Rodriguez slaying reminiscent of Emmett Till, who was killed in Mississippi in 1955. Both victims were 15. Although the suspects in Till’s case were acquitted in court, his death continues to serve as a lasting example of white-on-black violence. [source]

13-year-old Jayda Woods-Johnson died after being struck by stray gunfire at a Linwood, WA mall.

16-year-old Samuel Gizawmale will be charged with murder, police said.

The victim was shot when an altercation erupted between two groups of teens, during which a male teen pulled out a handgun and fired at least one shot. The victim was not involved in the conflict.

Reports did not mention the racial composition of the groups.

About 52 percent of homicides are committed by blacks, according to FBI statistics. Blacks comprise about 13 percent of the country’s population. Considering most homicides are committed by males, we can assume that nearly half of all homicides can be attributed to black males; about 7 percent of the population. Then, considering very young and very old males seldom commit homicides, we estimate that about half of America’s homicides are committed by young black males who comprise about five percent of the country’s population. That is, about five percent of the population — young black males — commit about half of all homicides. [source]

Dabbs managed to take the gun and began assaulting Moore’s fiancé before firing multiple rounds. Moore was shot in the chest, and another man was shot in the hand.
