Teenage boy k!lls girlfriend’s father after he cautioned him about posing with gun on Facebook – Police

A teenager, Lawan Jr. Jones, from Florida has been arrested after he k!lled his girlfriend’s father over ‘inappropriate’ social media photos.

Lawan Jr. Jones, 18, turned himself in to the police three days after fleeing following the shooting of Mr. Jones.

His girlfriend’s father, 44-year-old Keith Poole, was shot several times at the front of his home and in front of his children in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Jones was in a relationship with Mr Poole’s daughter, Jessie, and lived in the home with Poole and his family.

Police said witnesses spoke about an argument between Jones and Mr Poole after the protective father saw social media posts of the pair which he thought were inappropriate.

According to the arrest affidavit, the witness told police on the scene that Mr Poole ‘became aware that the suspect had posted photographs on social media of himself holding a firearm.’

The witness said the victim told Jones that it was not appropriate for him to do that while living in his house and that he would have to leave.’

The witness told police that Jones was angered by the confrontation and ‘threatened that he could have his friends come over and ”take care of the problem”.’

This move made Poole to once again insist Jones leave his home, guiding him to the front door and standing at his doorway.

The affidavit states: ‘The witness stated that Jones took several several steps away from the front door, then turned around, pulled a handgun over a satchel slung over his right shoulder and pointed it at the victim.

‘Jones then fired two shots, hitting the victim in the face and chest. The witness noted the victim was not being aggressive and posed no physical threat to the suspect.’

The arrest affidavit reveals police on the scene saw ‘an open front door with blood inside and outside the immediate area of the door.’

Tributes have been pouring in for the father, who is remembered by loved ones as an ‘amazing human’ who people gravitated towards.

One said: ‘The way you raised and cared for your children was unmatched, you would do anything to make sure everyone around you was good.

‘His aura alone spoke volumes.’

Another wrote: ‘You were a true legend in Miami. ‘You were so kind to all of us, we made great memories. You will be truly missed. You are now a star in the universe and will shine forever.’
