FIGHT OVER A BIRTHDAY CUPCAKE ON HALLOWEEN HAS GRIM OUTCOME: VIDEO
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A 16-year-old shot and killed a man in East Knoxville after a fight about a cupcake at a child’s birthday party on Halloween, a newly-completed autopsy report said.
J’Michael Dossett, 26, was at his child’s birthday party on Catalpa Avenue when some of the kids began playing with cupcakes, the report said. One child smeared frosting in Dossett’s child’s hair.
Dossett’s ex-girlfriend “became upset about the frosting as it had ruined her child’s hair and an argument ensued,” the report said. As it escalated, her 16-year-old brother stood in between them.
“[Dossett] fired his .380 caliber pistol into the air as a warning shot,” the report said. The 16-year-old then shot Dossett four times with a 9mm pistol, killing him.
The teenager, now 17, faces manslaughter charges. He is one of at least six juveniles Knoxville Police arrested for killing people with guns last year. FULL STORY HERE
