Detroit, Michigan

A young life lost on Halloween

He was with three other teenage boys at a so-called chill house on Halloween, when they let in two men they knew.

He was surprised when the men began robbing them, apparently just after the teens showed a wad of cash live on Instagram. The robbers then demanded the teens pick which one of them would be killed.

When he and his friends refused, the robbers shot them all. His friends survived their wounds. He didn’t.

The young man whose name was not publicly released died on Oct. 31, 2018 in Detroit. He was 15 years old.
