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.

Charman Sinkfield, 30, Arrested and Charged with the Murder of Former Boxing Champion Vernon Forrest

Charman Sinkfield, 30, has been arrested by the U.S. Marshals for murdering former boxing champion Vernon Forrest on July 26. The dirtbag was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals last night. He is the third man to be charged in connection with Forrest’s slaying. He was booked into the Fulton County Jail early Thursday, charged with murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery with a deadly weapon. Sinkfield is a career criminal who deserves to get the death penalty. According to the Georgia Department of Corrections web site, he has served three previous terms in state prisons. Sinkfield most recently served a two-year sentence for cocaine possession. He was released from Autry State Prison in December 2007. Yep, he was out on vacation from prison to be a menace to society.

An arrest warrant had previously been issued after tips from witnesses and video surveillance led police to Sinkfield. Marshals staked out a home in southwest Atlanta, and they followed a black sedan from Nathan Street to I-20 around 9 p.m., according to marshal James Ergas.

Twelve unmarked cars trailed the sedan for about 10 minutes Wednesday evening before forcing the vehicle to stop. Sinkfield, who was in the backseat, was one of three people in the sedan. At one point, he attempted to disguise himself with a wig, Ergas said. Source: AJC

Sinkfield is the final of three suspects whom investigators were seeking in the shooting of Forrest. Previously, police arrested Jquante Crews, 25, and Damario Ware, 20, both who face murder, weapons, assault and robbery charges.

Police have said robbery was the original intent. Forrest’s watch and championship ring were taken.
