Rage over thefts led to slaying of woman in home, charges say

Update to this story.
A 28-year-old man angry over a friend's stolen electronics fired shots into a south Minneapolis home, killing a woman, according to second-degree murder charges filed Wednesday.

I just can't understand murdering people over trivial garbage.
Authorities say trouble began for Hollis when a computer and cell phone belonging to [Nidjia D.] Nicks' friend were stolen by Hollis' daughter from the Extended Stay Hotel in Brooklyn Center, where Nicks was staying with two other people. The items later ended up in Hollis' home.

This does, however, fall under a violation of rule #473. "Don't go to stupid places. Don't associate with stupid people. Don't do stupid things.” (John Farnham) There is never a good reason to be in a hotel room with a drugged up stranger, and if your friends are into drugs and inappropriate usage of weapons, you need better friends.

This does kind of fall under the "criminal on criminal" exception to our posts, except for the innocent woman murdered.

What kind of a worthless thug shoots through the window of a house at a woman who is trying to get small children to safety?
