A Black, His Mother and Four Other “Teens” Arrested for Shooting Death of White Man

Trakendric Neal Young and Constance Lashaun Hamlin

When a black mom is complicit in the same crime as her son and his friends, will she still whine “they good boys, they dindu nuffin”?

Certainly, there’s still a 90% chance of it happening.

The fatal shooting of a Mississippi man led to the arrests of six people, including the mother of one of the suspects.

John Michael Ross Berryman, 21, was found shot on Friday along a state highway in Prentiss County, Sheriff Randy Tolar said in a statement Monday. Berryman was pronounced dead on the scene, news outlets reported.

Trakendric Neal Young, 18, was named as a suspect and located at a motel in Tupelo. Constance Lashaun Hamlin, 46, was charged with accessory after the fact for allegedly taking her son to Tupelo, WTVA-TV reported.

Young and four other teens were charged with capital murder and booked into jail without bond. It’s unclear whether any of the individuals charged had an attorney who could comment on their behalf.

A gun was recovered from the side of a county road during the investigation, Tolar said. The sheriff said one of the suspects tossed the firearm after it was used in the shooting, news outlets reported.
