One Boy, Two Men Killed In San Bernardino Triple Shooting

At the SB Sun, "2 men, 1 boy dead in San Bernardino shooting."

It's a 9-year-old boy.

Because Black Lives Matter.

More, at LAT, "9-year old boy, father killed in triple shooting in San Bernardino":


In line at a liquor store in San Bernardino on Friday night, 9-year-old Travon Williams asked his father to buy him a bag of candy. His father agreed and Travon, like the soon-to-be fifth-grader he was, marked the moment with a jump and a dance out the door beside his dad and another man, an employee recalled.

In the parking lot, just steps away from the door, someone opened fire and then ran.

The child  was killed along with his father, Travon Lamar Williams, 26, and Samathy Mahan, 25, San Bernardino police said.

"It was 30 seconds to kill three people," said store manager Saifaldin Baji.

San Bernardino police said the three were exiting the Superior Liquor & Grocery on Del Rosa Avenue about 9:15 p.m. when a man armed with a handgun approached them from behind and shot all three.

The motive for the shooting is not yet known, but Mahan was a known gang member and was believed to be the intended target, police Sgt. Vicki Cervantes  said. It was unclear what Mahan’s relationship may have been to the boy and his father, she said.

The child’s mother, Ebony Newman, 27, came upon the scene at the liquor store as she and her husband – Travon’s stepfather – and Travon’s two younger sisters were out walking.

She did not realize that her son was one of the victims at first, when someone told her that the dead boy, whose face was covered, was 11 years old.

“I pulled up to the scene, thinking it’s another situation in San Bernardino, and it’s my baby,” she said, crying uncontrollably. “What mom in her mind would think, that’s my baby? This is not right. This is not right.”
