Jamal Blair, 18, Arrested in the Murder of Sadie Mitchell, 92, As Stray Bullet Fired from His Gun Pierces Her Lung as She Walks in Her Home

Cops have arrested another thug roaming the streets of a major city, after he fired his gun and the stray bullet killed Sadie Mitchell, 92, as she was in her home in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx. Jamal Blair, 18, was picked up late yesterday evening. Ms. Mitchell, who has been called a beloved "mother to everyone on her block," died after this scumbag fired his gun and a bullet blasted through the window of her home and pierced one of her lungs as she walked into her living home. 

I am glad that the witnesses gave up his dirtbag's name and cops tracked him down. He was spotted on video near Mitchell's home immediately before the shooting and was later placed in a police line-up. He confessed hours later and is being charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Another armed thug roaming the streets with no good intentions in mind. We'll hear about his rap sheet soon enough. That will come after his family tells the media that he is a good kid, who stays out of trouble and would never act recklessly. You know, the usual nauseating bullsh**.

Jamal Blair Arrested in Death of Sadie Mitchell, Schwartz for News

What are the odds that this woman's life would end this way, in the house that she has called home since 1954. According to Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, the bullet was fired during a turf battle between a group from the block and another from the nearby Edenwald Houses. I remember Edenwald Houses when I lived in the Bronx back in the 1980s. It was a cesspool then and it is a shame that they have not cleaned it up yet.

Kelly said, in an interview with the NY Daily News, that there had been a fight earlier in the day between the two groups, and the melee appeared to be sparked by a quest for revenge. It is a shame that this woman met such a terrible end. This dirtbag needs to be sentenced to the death penalty. Considering that New York state has tough penalties for illegal possession of a weapon, this dirtbag won't see the outside of a jail cell for the greater part of his pathetic life, if he is spared the death penalty.
