posty 2,872 Posted March 5, 2009 http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/metro/index.s....xml&coll=1 Jamal M. Dorsey, 22, intended to spend Sunday afternoon playing flag football with his friends and planning a March 29 birthday party for his younger cousins and 2-year-old son. But during a date with his wife at a Kenner bowling alley, he got into an argument with neighboring bowlers over a ball. He was followed home by someone driving a black Dodge Durango and shot to death in the front yard of an Algiers home about 3 a.m. Sunday. The man Dorsey argued with was bowling one lane over from him, said Demetria Harrell, Dorsey's mother-in-law. The man followed Dorsey out to the parking lot as he left, but Dorsey told the man he didn't want to fight anymore. Dorsey got into a car with a 22-year-old pal and Ashten, the mother of his two sons. They headed home to the West Bank, Harrell said. But the infuriated bowler wouldn't let it go. Dorsey and his companions soon noticed they were being tailed by a Durango, Louisiana license plate SLR 737, the New Orleans Police Department said. When they got to the 3000 block of Americus Street, the Durango pulled up. Someone stepped out. Dorsey jumped out of the car to confront him and to protect Ashten, a friend said. But his opponent had a gun, the friend said, and he peppered an unarmed Dorsey and the car with gunfire. Several bullets hit Dorsey's torso, police said. Another bullet hit Ashten's left forearm, shattering two bones, Harrell said. Their friend was hit in the leg. The gunman sped off in the Durango, and police haven't yet announced any arrests. Dorsey's wife and friend were taken to LSU Interim Public Hospital and survived. Dorsey died before New Orleans emergency paramedics could treat him, police said. Two boys, Jamal Jr., 4, and Ashton, who turns 3 later this month, lost their father. The gunman took the life of a law-abiding man who installed Cox Communications cable systems to help his wife pay her tuition to Delgado nursing school, Harrell said. He had he hoped to see her graduate from the school in December, she said. "It's totally senseless," his mother-in-law said. "A total disrespect for another human life." Dorsey graduated from L.B. Landry High School in 2005. He served as the drum's section leader, earning awards and a spot in the Louisiana All-Star band, said Freddie Marshall, 27, one of Dorsey's band mentors. The brightest prize of his high school career -- and life -- was Ashten, Harrell said. When Dorsey met her daughter, Harrell didn't want Ashten dating anyone. She grounded Ashten, but she sneaked her out to see her persistent suitor anyway. Ashten became pregnant with Jamal Jr. at 17. After Hurricane Katrina displaced her to Texas, Dorsey followed her and married her. He used his Cox job to build a life for the two of them in Algiers: He worked; she went to school; and together they cared for the boys. After Ashton was born, Dorsey joined a flag football team with his friends at King's Grant Playground. He treasured the Thursdays and Sundays the league met, Harrell said, because it gathered his wife, sons and best buddies in one spot. "He loved his family and that football team," Marshall said. "I'm shocked he's gone." In an unrelated incident, a 25-year-old man was shot early Sunday inside a home in the 10900 block of Roger Drive in eastern New Orleans. Ronald L. Williams died just after midnight, on the way to LSU Interim Public Hospital, said John Gagliano, the Orleans Parish Coroner's chief investigator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthernVike 2,113 Posted March 5, 2009 That damm gun killed him, not the person pulling the trigger. It was the guns fault He also could have been killed by the Durango, a softball bat, a bowling ball, a knife or GFIAFP's fists Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was the guns fault He also could have been killed by the Durango, a softball bat, a bowling ball, a knife or GFIAFP's fists I agree. Anyone who thinks gun control is the answer to senseless shootings like this is a moron. What we need is a mandatory carry law. Everyone should have to carry a gun. Preferably in a leather belt with bullets in it, those are badass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you are being sarcastic, but do you think the shooter would of followed them home if he knew the people that he was following had guns as well.

IAMWood 6 Posted March 6, 2009 About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war I saw my first pistol in the general store In the general store, when I was thirteen Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up She really blew up and I didn't understand Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow Loads a mite slow and soon I found out It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45 Called a peacemaker but I never knew why Never knew why, I didn't understand Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand Well I get into a card game in a company town Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down Shot the dog down, watched the man fall Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
