Story has been updated. Looks like he didn't have the Jordans folks were fighting over during Xmas.
Quote:
David Lee Robinson, 19, clad in a pair of white Nike Zoom Rookies, was standing in the 5800 block of Foote Street NE shortly before 2:30 a.m. when at least one robber with a handgun got out of a sport-utility vehicle, police said.
“It would appear that he was shot probably after he was robbed, but it’s also possible that he got shot prior to being robbed,” a D.C. police homicide supervisor, Lt. Robert Alder, said Monday.
Also unclear is who else fired shots. Investigators found a handgun — apparently not the murder weapon — and an assortment of spent shells at the scene, Alder said.
I'm part of the Ghanaian American community don't try and ensnare me into the swamp that is the African American community.
You guys are sinking and don't even realize it.
Your Ghanaian, And???? I know many from Ghana, my finance is Ghanaian, but considers himself African American. I have absolutely no idea why someone would have so much self hate from their own culture. Yes its your culture considering we all are decendents of Africans. Irresponsibility has NOTHING to do with an entire race. Maybe you need to stop trying to convince others your so different by using ignorance as a litmus.
You can't speak sense to non-sense.
This character manifests his self hate by bashing an entire group of people of which he's a member of.
There will never come a time when you see a post from him committing on the crimes that white people or Africans commit.
In reality, both of these groups would never claim him as one of their own, yet, he continues to fawn for acceptance where he will receive none.
I must admit, I just recently realised how young he must be, he's displayed such ignorance of African American culture that the only logical explanation is youth, ignorance, or a combination thereof.
Hell, looking at my articles, it's quite possible an African stole the gym shoes..
Couldn't resist coming back to the thread after reading this....This would be the ULTIMATE smackdown. LOL.

Your girlfriend is being polite trust me she doesn't consider herself African anything, she considers herself a Ghanaian, period maybe Ghanaian-American. Even if she calls herself African-American I guarentee you she doesn't think she is one of you guys. There are a plethera of diverse cultures within Ghana and throughout Africa.
No way a people who think killing folks for sneakers are a part of my culture.
Jamisha Houston is five months pregnant and facing life without her baby's father. David Lee Robinson, 19, was killed early Sunday morning here on Foote Street northeast, gunned down police say over his pair of tennis shoes.
Robinson's family is angry as they grieve the death of a young man they say had so much to look forward to.
He was working and about to get his high school diploma. Now he is dead. Police say his killer took his pair of Nike Rookie basketball shoes that he was wearing.
Why is it in all of these stories the young men are always turning their lives around at the precise moment they get killed?
Well if that was the aim then I guess you maybe right. So since most Blacks don't kill each other it is best to ignore the problem? Never mind Blacks make up 50% of all murder victims?
Seems to me folks are more concerned about the image of Black people than actually saving these young men's lives.

You're right. You guys believe in stuff like witchcraft, child rape, trafficking in human body parts, general anarchy......all the markings of an orderly, wonderful civilization. No wonder you're so proud to be from there.
Might you have a comment on the following stories? I would venture to guess probably not.
