"The boy's mother, who was three months pregnant, was upset he was smoking weed in the house. 'She didn't want the baby to be affected by the smoke,' said NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny."
"After a verbal dispute escalated, the teen walked back to the bedroom, grabbed a shoebox, pulled a gun, and shot Davis two times, once in the chest and once in the arm."
"Police sources indicated the teen had two prior arrests and there were previous incidents when cops were called to the family home to stop arguments between the boy and his mother."
A 16-year-old boy was arrested for allegedly shooting his stepfather, Jamel Davis, during a dispute over smoking weed in their NYCHA apartment. The incident occurred on April 12, with the boy's pregnant mother expressing concern about the smoke affecting her baby. After a verbal dispute escalated into a physical fight, the teen retrieved a gun and shot Davis twice. The boy had prior arrests and had been living on the street since the incident. Police tracked him down in the Bronx after a prolonged search.
