A black teen in San Antonio stabbed a cashier at a convenient store to death and some newsers are refusing to explain why.
They all reference the arrest affidavit, but just use vague terminology to describe the murder.
For example, KSAT (ABC) in San Antonio:
Officers took Samuel Davis into custody at an apartment complex in the 4000 block of Medical Drive, according to an affidavit, which is located across the street from where the stabbing occurred.Officers initially responded to a shooting call just after 1 a.m. in the 4000 block of Medical Drive, which is located near Fairhaven Street.
According to an SAPD preliminary report, officers found the victim, a 25-year-old man, with apparent stab wounds throughout his body.
On Saturday, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as Sanad Faisal Al Reseq.
He died of sharp force injury to the chest, the medical examiner’s office said, and his death was ruled a homicide.
Witnesses told officers that Davis entered the business, according to the affidavit, and was involved in a verbal altercation with the victim.
The suspect then pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times before fleeing the scene, the preliminary report said.
And News 4 San Antonio (NBC):
Police said a man walked into the store and got into an argument with the 25-year-old victim. During the argument, the suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the employee multiple times before fleeing.
But here’s one who did explain the murder and, as it turns out, it wasn’t so much an ‘argument’ or a ‘verbal altercation’ as it was the suspect demanding the clerk sell him a tobacco product for which he was underage.
Via Kens5 (CBS):
San Antonio police confirmed a 17-year-old was arrested after a man was stabbed to death during an early morning altercation at a northwest-side business on Friday. The suspect, identified as Samuel Davis, was taken into custody after a standoff nearby involving a person of interest connected to the case.A 17-year-old is facing a murder charge after San Antonio police say a dispute over a 99-cent tobacco product turned deadly at a Northwest Side convenience store.
Officers were called around 1 a.m. Friday to the Classic Mart & 420 Shop in the 4000 block of Medical Drive after reports of gunfire. When officers arrived, they found 25-year-old employee Sanad Faisal Al Resheq suffering from multiple stab wounds. Investigators later determined no shots had been fired.
According to an arrest affidavit, surveillance video showed Samuel Davis becoming involved in an altercation with Al Resheq after the clerk refused to sell him a tobacco product because he was not old enough. Police say Davis pulled out a knife and stabbed Al Resheq multiple times before fleeing.
Al Resheq died at the scene.
Investigators identified Davis through surveillance footage, witness statements and a photo lineup. A coworker told police Davis was a regular customer who frequently caused problems at the store and had previously been known to steal.
Hours later, officers arrested Davis following a standoff connected to the investigation at the Charles Andrews Apartments. He was booked into jail on a murder charge with bond set at $500,000.
The killing left friends, customers and family members grieving outside the store Friday. A handwritten sign posted on the locked front door announced the business would remain closed and that a vigil would be held at 10 p.m. in honor of the slain employee.
Teena-Louise Moyer, who came to offer support to the victim’s family, described the store workers as welcoming members of the community.
“They are the American dream really,” Moyer said. “He’s a baby. He hasn’t even lived.”
Another customer, St. Clair Greenidge, said he often spent time talking with Al Resheq after moving to San Antonio.
“To lose his life for doing his job? Tragic,” Greenidge said. “It’s sad. Very, very sad.”
I wasn’t going to highlight the race of the suspect, but I believe it was the suspect’s race that led to some news organizations refusing to tell the truth about what happened.
