A White man who shot a Black teenager for bumping into him has been charged with first-degree murder after telling police that he took “another piece of trash off the street”.
According to police in Charleston, West Virginia, 15-year-old James Means briefly bumped into the man outside a Dollar General store on the city’s East End.
62-year-old William Ronald Pulliam reportedly waited for the teenager outside the store and fired two shots at him around 9 p.m. on Monday.
After the shooting, Pulliam had dinner and went to visit a female friend before turning himself in to police. He told officers that he “felt threatened” by the unarmed teenager.
Means’ family is asking for support on a GoFundMe page for James’ funeral expenses.
