An Atlanta father of 20 was fatally shot last month while allegedly attempting an armed robbery, police say.
On July 19, D’Anthony Reaves, 44, was killed outside the Greyhound bus station on Forsyth Street around 5:30 a.m. He was shot twice in the face and once in the arm, according to police.
In a Wednesday update, Atlanta homicide detectives said their investigation determined the case should be classified as a felon killed by a private citizen. Police said Reaves was in the middle of an armed robbery when he was shot.
Reaves was shot by someone getting off a bus, his family told WSB-TV. The Independent has contacted Atlanta police for comment....
Reaves’ family plans to start a foundation to support his children and help fathers leave the streets and rebuild their lives.
"We’re fixing to open up the D’Anthony Reaves foundation so we’ll be able to serve his kids so they’ll be taken care of," Deoinetea Hightower Reaves’ brother told the outlet. "We got the Power for the Fathers represented for him as well, where we help the fathers get off the street and get their lives back together."
Hightower added that he is pushing Greyhound to end its policy allowing guns across state lines and urging Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to tighten gun laws to keep firearms away from young people.
Without question, Greyhound should require its customers to be defenseless when they get off the bus.
Also, 12 biological children? Remember the start of Idiocracy where we see the intelligent middle-class couple delay children too long while the redneck's progeny begin the path to genetic hegemony? Let us hope the same high moral character of D'Anthony Reaves has no genetic component.
Back in 2007, a dude in Cincinnati was busted for check fraud. At sentencing, the judge asked if he had any children. He said "six on the way."
ReplyDelete"Are you marrying a woman with six children?"
"No, I be concubining."
Six women were pregnant with his babies.
