As NBC Philadelphia reported, the three black teens got ?bored? playing basketball and decided to go rob someone. After seeing one man with a large dog, and deciding not to rob him, they then saw 51-year-old James Patrick Stuhlman walking his terrier.
Stuhlman typically walked his dog with his 13-year-old daughter. But on the night of his murder, March 12, he had told her to stay home because it was getting dark out, which very likely saved her life.
As he walked down the street, Stuhlman, who owned a local landscaping company, saw three teens approach him. Then they grabbed and robbed him, and shot him once in the leg. They could have just taken his money and ran at that point. But they did not.
?At one point, he did plead for his life,? Captain James Clark said Thursday at a news conference, according to the New York Daily News. ?He said, ?Please don?t shoot me, please don?t shoot me,? and they still shot him one more time.?
That second shot took his life.
So ?Hands Up, Don?t Shoot? really did happen ? not in Ferguson ? but in a Black-on-White capital murder in Philadelphia.
So can we expect Barack Obama and Eric Holder to demand a civil right investigation? Don?t bet on it.
Police have arrested 15-year-old Brandon Smith. They also arrested a 14-year-old whose name has been withheld ? because he is supposedly a ?child.?.
They said they decided to rob Stuhlman because his dog was smaller than their intended first target. The shooter who gunned down this father in cold blood, 15-year old Tyfine Hamilton, is ?still at large?. Philadelphia police consider him ?armed and dangerous.?
Smith has been charged in relation to the murder and is still in custody. But the unnamed teen was inexplicably just charged with robbery despite being an accessory to murder. Police are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Hamilton.
Typically, the teens have all been in trouble with the law in the past. It is stunning at what early age vicious murderers are now made. 15? Unbelievable.
Capt. Clark warned Hamilton at a press conference: ?Get with your parent and turn yourself in before we come and get you?We know where you are.?
Philadelphia Police Lt. John Walker said that when police arrived at the scene Stuhlman was laying in a pool of blood and was already unresponsive. The family man still had his flashlight in his hand.
But what police found next to him was heartbreaking. His dog was pawing him, sniffing at his face, and whimpering.
?The dog was lying next to him ? appeared to be scared and in shock,? Walker said.
?His daughter goes for a walk with him almost every night,? Clark said. ?For whatever reason, he said to her, ?it?s a little late tonight I don?t want you walking with me.? So in effect, he may have saved his daughter?s life.?
Thank God he did, but that is small consolation for the young girl who is now without a father, and will forever fear walking at dusk, thanks to the savage brutality these young monsters inflicted on her own dad.
