Of course you know a relative of the victim had to add his two cents:
Saint Louis is tired of these kids, the Police Dept hired 40 more foot patrol officers to patrol in high crime areas, and so far the results have been good.But Murphy’s friend, a 17-year-old man, was charged with murder because he was an accomplice to a felony where a person was killed.

I believe this is another one of the Trayvon Martin stories where people are getting so gun happy they shoot just on impulse now. I could understand if he was a threat. But on the property, he was not a threat.
