Cameron Tillman was a 14-year-old freshman at Ellender High School in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, who was described as a “tremendous athlete” by a teacher there, but who was taking his freshman year off from sports to hit the books and raise his grades.Sadly, Tillman will not get the opportunity to boost his GPA, or to play sports, because a sheriff’s deputy shot him dead Tuesday night as he answered a knock on the door of an empty house where he and some friends were hanging out.The house on Kirkglen Loop, near the town of Houma, had been vacant for over one year, and was known as a spot where local teens were often seen coming and going. But this time, when someone saw a group of kids entering the house, the unidentified person called 911 to report a break-in — and told police that one of the kids in the house had a gun.When one of the sheriff’s deputies responding to the call knocked on the door, according to Tillman’s brother, who was also inside the unoccupied house, Cameron Tillman answered it.“My little brother thought somebody was just clowning, because somebody is always clowning by the door,” said Andre Tillman. “He opened, and the man just shot him. He didn’t have nothing in his hand.”Police said that gun was found “in close proximity” to the slain body of Cameron Tillman, but they have not said whether they believe that the teenager was brandishing the weapon at the time he was shot and killed by the deputy.But Tillman’s relatives described the 14-year-old as a timid young man who would have been too frightened to confront police, much less aim a gun at an officer.“He stayed out of trouble. He was just a good kid,” Tillman’s cousin Josh Miles told the Houma Today newspaper. “I told the sheriff that as scared as he was, he’d never point anything at anybody.”The officer who killed Cameron Tillman has not been named publicly, but police said he is a seven-year veteran of the force who, like Tillman, is African-American.Read more at http://www.inquisitr.com/1497503/cameron-tillman-14-shot-dead/#g2t7Oc00DRWLddMX.99
Wonder if Sharpton or Jesse Jackson will make an appearance.
Not unless it's high profile and they had something to gain.
I am thinking about not wearing tight shirts in public cause when cops see my massive guns they might try to shoot me for being armed and dangerous.
they always happen to be 'tremendous athletes', or have 'a future in music'. even over here, 'brews that manage to get themselves killed always seem to be a future pele, or the next jay-z, but never what they actually are.. very naughty boys.
around blacks never relax
Agreeing with myself but completely true. Had brian's mom's voice from life of brian in my head when you said very naughty boy.

...the cop that shot him is black.
If you reported all deaths it would loose its desired effect.
Hate to break it to you but that was a man. A man dressed up like a woman. You are outed, thenturion.
Coincidence of the similar last name---Tillman, and Emmett Till and that they both were 14? One was killed by someone of authority, and the other was killed by someone(s) who thought they had the authority.
