African American Teen Devron Frenell Shot to Death as He & Two Friends Broke into Brunswick, Ga., Home

African American teen, Devron Frenell, shot to death while he and two friends broke into Brunswick, Ga., home.

What happened to Devron Frenell, 12, should be a lesson to all kids who are up to no good. There are penalties for bad behavior and Frenell learned the hard way. Devron Frenell's family said he was shot and killed breaking into a home. According to News 4 Jax, Monique Ratliff, his mother, said she thought he was at the pool, instead he and two friends were trying to break into a home. She was absolutely right when she said her son and his friends were "doing things they didn't had no business doing."

Well, they broke into the wrong home and I don't blame the homeowner for shooting him, though I don't believe he would have shot him if he had realized it was a child. He was protecting his home. According to News 4 Jax, when the man, who lived in the home, came downstairs, the other two boys ran, but Devron didn't and he was fatally shot in the back.

The Brunswick police have launched an investigation and have not released the police report or any details about the incident. This is a real tragedy that could have been avoided, but it is proof that bad decisions can have horrible consequences.
