Boy shot, killed for not sharing game
In an appalling incident in Brockton Massachusetts, (USA) last Tuesday (March 25, 2008), 15-year-old Olivier Baptiste was shot dead by his 18-year-old neighbor, William Suarez, when he refused to hand over a video game. Suarez has been charged with manslaughter and illegal possession of firearms and is being held on a $1 million bond.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges against him in Brockton District Court. He allegedly pulled out a .32 caliber Smith and Wesson from his waistband and shot his friend Baptiste in the head after the latter refused to give him a video game he was holding.
Both boys reportedly were quite good friends and spent a lot of time together. In fact, if relatives are to be believed, the boys were pretty thick and no one could even think of the dreary turn of events.
Both the deceased and the accused attended Brockton High School. The school arranged for grief counselors to counsel and console the students of the school, who must have been pretty shaken by the fatal incident. My heart goes out to the bereaved family of Oliver Baptiste.
