Someone TURN HIM IN before he does this to more people!
Shytez Richardson… is that y pronounced as a long “i” as in sky or as a short “i” as in gym?
He is not armed and dangerous y’all just trynna use deadly force on somebody TF he obviously running so how he a threat y’all need to gone **** with that dumb s**t
Don’t people usually get rid of the weapon, it’s the first thing they do I thought, but maybe things have changed
He definitely is considered armed and dangerous. He is facing charges for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill 😂 he is charged with shooting someone so he definitely is considered armed and dangerous.
If he shot someone then yea hes a dangerous piece of garbage and maybe he deserves the force
I understood that things happen that we may regret but it doesn’t change who we are, this young man made a terrible decision that will change his life FOREVER but he is NOT ARMED and DANGEROUS he’s scared of the consequences of his mistakes! Just a sad Story!!
Yes it was a terrible decision and he may or may not regret it but that ultimately doesn’t matter. Facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill definitely makes you armed and dangerous. If he’s so scared turning himself in versus running would be smart, but it’s clear we’re not dealing with a high IQ individual lol
Free my brother
Tell your brother not to shoot and rob someone and he can be free 😂 you can still see him through a glass window though 🙂
U DISAPPOINTED 🤔
At the end of the day they all need to get locked up because they set him up and he deserves justice
i’m confused on why a 21 year old was with female minors in the first place
Not a bad boy at all , definitely NOT armed and dangerous, just a bad choice made.
A bad choice made can be recovered from, but this is a little more than that… robbing someone with a weapon and shooting them is a little more than a bad choice and definitely makes you considered armed and dangerous
The get’ o is real.
Shooting? Selma? Apartment complex? Sums it up.
At least him and his father will be able to spend plenty of quality time together behind bars 🙂
