61. Victory Dance Leads to Death
A basketball game ended abruptly Saturday afternoon when
-year-old Damon Miller was fatally shot at a recreation
. The gunman, who called himself Ace, ran south
Oak Street after the shooting and remains at
. Miller was pronounced dead at the scene by
paramedics. He died from two gunshot wounds to
chest. The paramedics did not arrive immediately because
were tied up at a four-car crash a
away. This was the second such shooting during
basketball game, apparently by the same gunman.
According
witnesses, Miller did a little dance after making
game-winning 3-point basket. When Ace told him to
celebrating, Miller ignored him. Then Ace pulled a
gun out of his baggy shorts and fired
quick shots. Everyone else backed away. Instead of
immediately, Ace picked up the basketball and made
3-pointer himself. Then he did a little dance
to the victim’s head and fled.
A police
said the suspect will be charged with "a
more than unsportsmanlike conduct" when arrested. Eyewitnesses said
is a white male, 5'11", about 200 pounds,
a small scar on his left cheek.
Local
criticized the police for dragging their feet in
search for the suspect. “You can bet if
was two white men who had been shot
a black man, there’d be a policeman on
basketball court in town till he was caught,”
one activist.
