When 15-year-old Olivier Baptiste refused to hand over the video game he was playing to his 18-year-old friend William Suarez, Suarez pulled out a .32-caliber Smith and Wesson from his waistband and shot Baptiste in the head. This according to police, who have charged the alleged killer with manslaughter, illegal possession of a firearm, assault with a dangerous weapon, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.

Witnesses told authorities that Suarez then put the gun down on the kitchen counter and began saying, "This just didn't happen," according to court documents.

Sounds like one seriously screwed-up individual right there.

This is similar to the incident back in July, where a young boy stabbed his older brother to death for not letting him have his turn at a video game, in both situation and press reaction. Some of the headlines I have seen include:

livier Baptiste, 15, Brockton, when he was shot in the head in what police are saying was an argument over a video game. .​

BROCKTON - The suspect in the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old had been brandishing a gun at one another a few days before the firearm went off Tuesday during an incident involving a video game.

Asking for a video game, William Suarez, 18, pointed the gun at Olivier Baptiste and twice pulled the trigger before the weapon fired, shooting Baptiste in the head, according to court documents.

The boy died an hour later at a local hospital.

Suarez, of 317 Battles Farm Drive, pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter, illegal possession of a firearm, assault with a dangerous weapon, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling at his arraignment in Brockton District Court on Wednesday.

He was held on $1 million bail after his arraignment in the fatal shooting late Tuesday afternoon.

“At this point it remains under investigation,” Assistant District Attorney Bridget Norton Middleton said.

Middleton declined to comment on whether additional charges would be considered.

Meanwhile, grief counselors were available at Brockton High School, where Associate Principal Maria LeFort described Baptiste, a sophomore, as a “very good student” who was never absent.

“I know what the reaction was of the teachers who have him,” LeFort said Wednesday. “They were all praising him and talking about what a great kid he was.”

“It’s heart-breaking,” LeFort added.

Suarez graduated from Brockton High in 2007, school officials said.

Baptiste lived four apartments away from Suarez in the housing complex on Battles Farm Drive.

The shooting took place about an hour after Gov. Deval Patrick came to Brockton to laud local and state police for a surge of officers that had prevented any shootings since mid-February. There have been five homicides since the beginning of the year in Brockton.

At 3:47 p.m. Tuesday, Baptiste was visiting 317 Battles Farm Drive, where Suarez lives, according to court documents.

Inside the home, Suarez approached Baptiste and told the boy to give him a video game that Baptiste was holding, according to court documents.

When Baptiste did not give him the game, Suarez pulled out a gun from his waistband, pointed the gun at Baptiste’s head and pulled the trigger, according to court documents. The gun did not fire initially.

Baptiste then put his hands in front of his face and asked Suarez to stop, Suarez told authorities. Suarez pulled the trigger again and the gun fired, striking Baptiste in the right temple area of his head, according to court documents.


Witnesses told authorities that Suarez then put the gun down on the kitchen counter and began saying, “This just didn’t happen,” according to court documents.

People in the household then called 911 for help.

Police found a .32-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver in a wooded area adjacent to 317 Battles Farm Drive.

The firearm fit the description, given by Suarez and witnesses, of the firearm that Suarez possessed during the shooting, according to court documents.

The firearm and ammunition were kept in a shoe box under Suarez’ bed, according to court documents.

Why dont they just charge him with murder,why all these charges thats only going to lead up to 25years to life,if he's charged with all of them.

:smh:I look at alot of cases like this and it just shows me the value they put on a young black male's life and the value we put on our own.
 
Fuck this type of shit man.... These fuckin parents ARE NOT RAISING THEIR CHILDREN!! Plain and simple....... cuz what the fuck is an 18 yr old KID doin with a gun in his waist anyways? What kind of upbringing did he have for him to get mad over a fuckin video game and react with shooting a "Friend". I'm 26, and its sad to say that beginning with my generation on down there have been a lot of 'punks' bread. Men fight with their hands if they feelin froggy.... but somebody's pumpin that bullshit these days because everybody thinks a gun solves your problems. "I got a problem, let me go shoot that nigga. I hate myself, let me go shoot up my school then kill myself. My ol' lady did me wrong, let me kill her and the kid." I know things will never be perfect, but shit should have never gotten this bad. So fuck what Oprah says...... BEAT YOUR KID'S ASS!!! Because thats the first thing that will teach them that negative actions have consequences. These kids aren't stupid, so if you pay them no attention and they do what they want then they will think they can always do what they want. And if you treat them like they are 'gods' and don't prepare them for the REAL WORLD, then you'll get the same outcome (Children/Young Adults living in fantasy land)! :angry:
 
Man, they should put that muphucka in jail somewhere in Mexico or the Czech Republic. Our jails are like health spas compared to them mofos. R.I.P to the little dunn who died, truly some sad shit.
 
remy martin - 25 years


this faggot killing a innocent kid - prolly less than 5


_____________

"when you see perfection in me, you see God; when you see my imperfections, you see me." 50 cent thanks for this line.

"look at me. now look at you. nigga you aint wavy :smh:"

Sad to say it, but Rap Music too 4sho! Thats why I aint even mad when the kids be doin the Soulja Boy or snappin and shit. It aint my type of music but it aint focusing on all the negative. Its enough of that shit in the news.... don't have to glorify stupidity in a song too!!

Remy Ma had to keep it "Hood" I guess?!?! Put the guns down!!!! Thats real "Bitchassness" right there. I don't play about my money either, but I'm kickin somebody's ass about that..... not tryin to kill them. Money comes and goes, but people die and NEVER come back...
 
I wouldn't be quick to blame outside sources for this one, the way the article read, it would seem that dude was 'not all there' mentally. Should still get life in prison, though...

Man fuck that bullshit. I call murder. You don't put a gun to someones head and pull the trigger and say it's an accident. Shit man, he 18. Should have known better.:angry::angry::angry::angry:
 
WHy was an 18 year old hanging out with a 15 year old anyway?


why did he have a gun on his person?


Oh this will only get worse until someone important [read: white, rich] gets killed.
 
this story really bothers me for two reasons mainly. and i cant get it out of my head...

1. the gun didnt go off the first time. he pulled the trigger again and thats when it went off. thats an automatic charge right there. he knew what he was doing.


2. i cant stop thinking of the image and fear the boy must of had at that moment after the first attempt.

Baptiste then put his hands in front of his face and asked Suarez to stop, Suarez told authorities. Suarez pulled the trigger again and the gun fired, striking Baptiste in the right temple area of his head, according to court documents.

my kids are 15 and 16 and i just cant understand it at all.
