In Miami-Dade County, Florida, police have arrested two teens for fatally attacking a 17-year-old boy over his PlayStation Portable (PSP).

According to an arrest report from Miami-Dade Detective Elvey Melagarejo, James Felton-Maitland, 17, was walking home from the library during Christmas vacation of last year.

Jamila “Jam” Brown, 19, and Keith Lebrone Goa, 17, were “loitering on the library grounds and saw the victim and decided to rob him of his PSP,” Melagarejo wrote.

The two teens knocked Felton-Maitland to the ground and began beating him while trying to snatch the PSP. However, Felton-Maitland refused to let go of the PSP and tried to escape his attackers.

As the teens gave chase, when Felton-Maitland crossed a street, a truck slammed into him, resulting in severe head trauma to the 17-year-old.

He died on January 5 at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.

Initially, Florida Highway Patrol characterized the case as an accident, The Miami Herald reported. However, when family members found a witness who saw the attack, a private investigator gave the information that eventually tracked down Brown and Goa.

Brown was already wanted for violating probation, and Goa had been arrested seven other times on charges that include burglary and battery. They are now charged with second-degree felony murder and strong-arm robbery.

“I looked forward to driving him to graduation one day. Maybe having a family, and grandchildren. And all that was snatched away from me,” James’ mother said. “I would have bought those kids a PSP if they wanted it.”

I'm not the type of guy to laugh at articles like this... but this last line got a bit of a chuckle out of me.

I dont understand how he ran into a truck, I mean sure you're trying to get away from people attacking you but I'm sure you would be smart enough to see some big ass truck.

Still this article just shows how pathetic and really disgusting people are.
