He will be confined and not be able to do whatever he wishes again in his life.
People need to make a choice between staying home with your family or spending the rest of your life behind bars if not sentenced to death.
If truly you know the consequence of an action is not going to be good, why carry out the action.?
May God continue to protect us from all evils.

It is better to be a coward and stay alive than to die trying to be a hero.
Violence won't take you anywhere.
Learn to be at peace with everyone even if you are right or wrong.
No need to drag with anyone.

It does not take anything from you.

Akata pple are very similar to Igbo pple.

They're too emotional and don't think deeply before acting. To them, everything is arrogance and violence.

Beraphiu:
I saw this online before seeing it here again, the question that comes to my mind is, who is the cameraman? because this is not CCTV footage and why was there no sound?

Sunnyhillsfarms:
He's been shot dead too

oz4real83:
The victim made a big mistake, why will u back a man holding a gun? Immediately he saw the man pulling up his shirt, even if he wasn't going to bring out a gun, he should have closed him up immediately and grabbed him until he was sure it wasn't a gun the man was pulling up. . It once happened to me, I was walking on the way not knowing that armed robbers in a car were stalking me in broad daylight on a busy road with lots of people around , somebody immediately came to my side and shouted if you move.... and was in the process of pulling up his gun under his shirt when I flung my hand and the pistol fell off his hand . That gave me the opportunity to run away because I didn't know if the others in the car would come out with guns to assist him. That particular robber would have been caught that day in Benin city if the people standing and watching us had balls to come and assist me. . Like I said before, the victim should have closed him up immediately he saw him about pulling up his shirt.

Actually the victim is the aggressor. He was the first to brandish a weapon.

You clearly haven't done your research on the story. Please do.

Both men had a fair history of bad blood going back to a few years. The shooter was proven to have reported threats to his life and family from the victim as well as physical intimidations on various occasions.

His 911 calls in the past are still on record.

Not justifying the evil act of cold-blooded murder... Just giving more perspective.

That the victim chose to turn his back on a pointed gun shows he had no regard for the shooter who he saw as a weakling incapable of hurting him.

This also validates the point of view that he had obviously been intimidating and bullying the "little guy" prior to that unfortunate day.

If it was a noise complaint, why not simply turn it down and apologize?!! Even with the gun out, he could have still deescalated the situation by apologizing and pleading, but he chose the Macho and condescending route, which ended badly.

The late man was a BULLY! And this is what happens to bullies sometimes, especially when their victim has taken as much as he can.

So what should he have done. Kneel and beg?

Why will you be living in Brooklyn, Chicago, Philly and even arguing with anyone , most people in these places are frustrated and ready to kill

Sonnobax15:

One lesson I've learnt about in this life is that--Ive got no time to argue with anyone any longer.....

If you think and believe you're right,then you're definitely right and it doesn't concern me..

And so he should lunge at the attacker? What are you guys saying? Walking away was a way to diffuse the situation. Your best defence from a gunman is to create as much distance between you both as much as possible. Better yet, walks backwards, but turning his back shows he is no longer interested in the confrontation and that makes the crime more premeditated.
That is why trying to disarm him would have been the best option

I hope you also read that the attacker went to the two prone bodies and fired off at least 2 more shots execution style.

Angelfrost:


Bro, he should have done any and everything to preserve his own life even if it means scrubbing the guy's floors.

The person holding the gun has the upper hand in any and every physical encounter.

Once gun enters the matter, your common sense of self preservation should take precedence over your pride or ego.
