LOCKED - MSU student killed last night

[MaroonCrusader]

Rumors flying around that something terrible happened in the early hours last night. Anyone have any information about this? Hope it isn't true.

 

[57stratdawg]

Sucks. Car wreck?

 

[moturfdog]

Heard it was a senior from Greenwood killed in an accidental shooting around 1:30 am sorry no other details that I know

 

[Heinz57]

Maxwell Street is police taped off - area totally secure, no one can get close. No clue what happened, police everywhere - first noticed all the blue lights st 5:30

 

[coach66]

Heard multiple stories so far, some

Say robbery and murder. Hope it's false.

 

[Go Budaw]

It was evidently a robbery that went bad. It's unclear if the student was killed was the one who was the target of the robbery or a bystander. There were several witnesses as there were a lot of people out in the district last night. Very sad.

 

[johnson86-1]

Hearing car jacking. Guy killed was the one they were taking the car from. Supposedly somebody was with him so hopefully a witness that can help them catch the worthless pieces of ****.

Eta: saw enough different info online that I don't want to stoke rumors in case i have it wrong.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

Some feral guy demanded the deceased hand over his wallet. When said victim refused, he was shot in the head by the worthless POS attacker.

This all went down in the Cotton District not far from where my daughter lives. We have the SPD giving out DUI's to football players on some nights while innocent kids are murdered on another. Not good.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

Many different rumors right now.

Think we all should wait until we hear from officials instead of spreading what could be true and/or false info. Not fair to the victim's family and others.

 

[Resolved]

Mayor and SPD better get ready for a **** storm because this has been coming for about 5 months now. Thugs and gang members gathered in Cotton Dist after midnight up to no good. The kid murdered was a great guy from Greenwood from a great Bulldog family. Awful tragedy that will demand consequences and action.

 

[coach66]

Agree, throw the DA in there too.

Time to take out the trash and keep taking
it out.

This has been my observation as well, I didn't want to be the first to say it though..the District has been packed with thug looking crowds starting at some point this spring. They don't go into the bars, but they mass on the sidewalks in front of the bars and in the streets to where you're basically having to push through them to get around.

 

[PonderThis1]

May need to start doing like Memphis does with Beale and do a small cover to get on the street. Or ID and walk through metal detector before you can even get on the street.

Just as a psa, your life is not worth losing for everything in your wallet or everything you own or will ever own for that matter. Hope they find this filth and prayers for the family.

No one is going to be thinking clearly and planning contingencies at 2:30 AM in the CD trying to get cheese fries. I'd bet most of us have been in situations that we would have changed a lot in hindsight/when we have time to reflect. Unfortunately, he doesn't get the chance at the hindsight because of a couple of cowards. That's what is so shaking about the story to me -- it could be any of us any time. I've never been armed robbed -- but it's something I don't think you can know how you would respond until it happens -- and you very well might make a different decision sober vs hammered.

Senseless. Should give them their trial(if indeed they have been caught) and put them in front of a firing squad once the gavel falls. Using the cheapest bullets money can buy.

 

[ShrubDog]

This whole situation is uncommon in Starkville and is very sad. Like you said, give them your wallet. I was lucky enough to survive an armed robbery, I gave them all my money. The others who didn't comply at first or didnt have any money got pistol whipped and beaten. I thought someone was going to get killed, the scariest situation of my life. They shot right over our heads as they left. I always keep cash on me now. This was in the Golden Triangle.

 

[crushing]

I say use a field point bow and arrow and shoot them with as many as it takes.

 

[ArcherSPS]

All four of the guys arrested were from Columbus.

someone better get put down while strapped to the table over this.

This is the problem. The police are doing their jobs well (in the face of overwhelming adversity by the way), while the justice system (lawyers and judges) are showing compassion toward these menaces. They show zero compassion for the victims. It's really insane.

I wouldnt say its uncommon the CD is starting to go down hill. It is extremely scary because im sure all of us have been in that area by ourselves earlier in the morning. I know i walk through there all the time. I was down by 2 bros and heard a gun go off early last night. where this incident happened a buddy of mine was jumped by two thugs from the westpoint/columbus area and beat him unconcious and did some very awful things to the person he was with. (You probably remember what im talking about it happened earlier this semester). Prayers go out to his family.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Do a quick facebook stalk to see the identities of these wusses. Not too hard to tell where their life path would lead.

When did that happen? Was there no story about it?

Exactly. It's astronomically fascinating how law breakers and such have evolved into the "victims".

 

[BIGDAWG44]

Late august early september buddy and his girlfriend were trying to do the right thing and got taken advatange of. There was a story about it but it didnt say much. I dont want to say too much about it but he was beat unconsious and tied up with shoelaces and thrown in a closest while his girlfriend was left to defend herself. It was a very scary situation. Next day i went and bought a handgun.

I wasn't there to witness it, but my crew saw a dude get beat unconscious by a group of thugs on the night of Bulldog Bash somewhere near Stromboli's.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

It will be interesting to see how the new DA handles this. The former DA would've definitely handled it appropriately.

 

[BIGDAWG44]

Thats awful. The incident im talking about literally happened in the house next door to where this incident happened lastnight.

 

[Sam Adams Dog]

Hate crime? Oh wait,,,,doesnt fit the formula race wise

I get that you are worried for your daughter's safety, but she could get killed by a drunk driver too. It's not a waste of time to give DUIs.

 

[SwampDawg]

Time to do the New Orleans thing. Go in a pack. No guarantee it will work, but better than you and your wife.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Shocking.

Yep! There are some very liberal judges now a days. Federal court....I have sat in a court room and heard a judge damn near apologize to a defendant before rendering a sentence. It was maddening.

 

[MississippiHeavyMetalDog]

REMINDER: Vote Tuesday. Somehow, a judge can interpret "shall not be infringed" differently than the obvious.

Very sad. I grew up less than 10 miles from his family. Its a shame law enforcement can't take preventative measures without "profiling".

 

[ShrubDog]

What does it take for this to be a hate crime...

 

[aTotal360]

It's too hard to prove if it is. Not to mention, what does it matter at this point? Did the guy make some posts on social media eluding to the fact he's looking forward to killing a caucasian male? ****** situation either way.

I just hope the SPD isn't handcuffed on cleaning the streets around campus. As soon as they start confronting gangbangers congregated in that area, someone will claim "profiling". And in today's society there will be plenty of bleeding hearts ready to sympathize.

My sister-in-law lives in the CD and their cars (and neighbors cars) have been broken into multiple times in the past 4-5 years.

hold up. Your "crew" saw it? What did they do? Try to help? Grab a 17n object to beat thug *** with? Or did they blow their rape whistle?

I dont know what it is.. maybe I was just raised a different way. But I'm not going to sit back and watch someone get beat to death while I "witness" it. that would be on my conscience as bad as anything.

that is exactly the mindset that lets areas get over run. Several easy targets bring opportunity for Theives and lawlessness. Exhibits A,B,C and so forth in this thread alone.

when I was at state there were 3 shotguns, 2 rifles, And 4 handguns in our apartment between the 4 of us. I would not have been a great day for someone to kick our door in at 1:30Am and demand wallets.

If if you are scared to walk the streets of Starkville... get you a 17'n pistol, get a permit, and take a class on how to use it, and practice at the range. I carry all the time and I don't want to shoot anyone, ever. But if some thug attempts to rob me... there will be no trial. I'm not going to be the one the coroner comes after either.
