Deadly shooting over parking space

An argument over a handicapped parking spot at a convenience store in Florida led to a fatal shooting and the man who pulled the trigger won’t be arrested under the state’s “stand your ground” self-defense law, authorities said.

Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told reporters during a Friday press conference that Thursday’s shooting death of Markeis McGlockton, a 28-year-old father of three, is “within the bookends of stand your ground and within the bookends of force being justified,” the Tampa Bay Times reports.

“I’m not saying I agree with it, but I don’t make that call,” Gualtieri told reporters, adding that his agency will now forward the case to the State Attorney’s Office for a final decision.

Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows McGlockton walking up to Michael Drejka, 47, who was arguing with McGlockton’s girlfriend, Britany Jacobs, 24, over a handicapped parking spot at the Circle A Food store on Sunset Point Road in Clearwater on Thursday.

Detectives from the sheriff’s office said Jacobs had parked her 2016 Chrysler 2000 in a handicapped spot without a permit, leading to the argument with Drejka that prompted a witness to alert a clerk inside.

That’s when McGlockton, who is black, exited the store and approached Drejka, shoving him violently to the ground with both hands, surveillance video shows. While still on the ground, Drejka, who is white, then pulled out a gun and shot McGlockton, firing a single round that struck him in the chest, deputies said.

The young father then staggered back into the store and collapsed in front of the couple’s 5-year-old son, who is named after McGlockton, Jacobs told the Tampa Bay Times. He was pronounced dead a short time later.

“He’s not too good,” Jacobs said of the boy. “It comes and goes, but he knows [McGlockton] is dead.”

Prior to Gualtieri’s announcement Friday, Jacobs told the newspaper that McGlockton died from a “wrongful death” as a result of Drejka’s actions.

“It’s a wrongful death,” she told the newspaper earlier Friday. “It’s messed up. Markeis is a good man … He was just protecting us, you know? And it hurts so bad.”

The couple had been together since 2009 after meeting at Dunedin High School, Jacobs said. The certified nursing assistant told the newspaper she parked in the handicap spot because the parking lot was packed. Surveillance video, however, showed several open parking spaces in front of the store prior to the deadly shooting.

The couple’s two other children – a 4-month-old and a 3-year-old – were inside the car with Jacobs, she said. She is now in the process of hiring a lawyer to determine her options and next move, she told the Tampa Bay Times, adding that she wants justice on McGlockton’s behalf.

“He’s getting out like he’s a police officer or something, and he’s approaching me,” she said. “I minded my own business … I didn’t do anything wrong.”

article...

Parking is becoming very profitable where I live. If you can create an extra parking space on your own property, you can rent it out for at least £200 a month, cash in hand... I'm in the process of creating 2 more bays atm...

yeah when that state fair comes here people around the place rent parking.

Sounds like a clean shoot to me.

And being an asshole about being told not to park in handicapped spot tells us a lot about the shooting victim. A service has been done for humanity.

I dont think buddy should have been shoving anyone. However if that was all i don't think killing the guy with a gun is warranted either.

being a little bitch? only a little bitch needs a gun to settle a battle. that guy is going to have a horrific death. who knows what kind of family he has.

It was a clean shot in self defense. Why do these people always have to bring up stand your ground. Nothing about this shooting involves stand your ground.

WTF are you talking about? People, especially white people, are tired of caving to this propagandist bullshit because of a certain segment of our society are too primitive to conform to social norms or laws or couldn't care less as it impedes on the collective. Fuck that guy, he got what he deserved.

The shooter should be charged with murder. He took 4 seconds, calmly took his gun out, aimed real slow at the heart, and shit. That's not fearing for your life, that's murder.

I read another article about this and the guy has a history of aggressively confronting people about parking in the handicapped space in front if the store & the owner of the store had called the cops on him before for being overly aggressive and confrontational.

What kind of man attacks a woman with 2 children parked in a handicapped space while her man is in the store? The kind of man bitch that will pull a gun on some that pushed him down for acting like a hysterical bitch.

...you or him or whoever are not in a position to determine anything other than your opinion. You who reads intelligently most of the time, although I disagree often, should understand what he did was lawful and the passionate rhetoric your spewing now, is actually prejudice.

what kind of man defends his wrong decision of parking in a disabled bay by being violent? - A dead one! :D

He came out of the store witnessing the guy confronting and yelling at his woman with her two children. Sad

People need to grow up already. Someone just got killed over a parking space..... That's insane.

He got killed for his violent actions and assaulting someone.

The guy is a beta cuck snowflake who needs a gun because he has a small dick! The pussy couldn't get up and fight back!

That's right!

The bitch had no problem yelling at a woman with her 2 young kids but he gets pushed for being the aggressor and pulls a gun like a little bitch. Karma has some evil plans for that scumbag.

What was he yelling?

Good thing he had a gun or he would have been beaten with bricks.

i was thinking the guy that pushed him was he even eligible to park there. the verbal exchange the stand your ground should be erased. hopefully the dead guy has some violent gang member family.

After looking at the video, this is a clean murder. The guy was standing there and wasn't attacking him further. It is an execution.

Isn't it technically a disability to have a ball & chain with 2 babies?

he had 3 kids the 5 year old watched him die. hopefully he does not remember

Says tough OG who bragged about having gun ready incase another GFY member stops by to say "waz up" :1orglaugh
What a fucking joke you are :321GFY:1orglaugh

From 3 different mothers. None of them seen a dime from this thug. Good riddance.
Deport the rest of them back to Africa.

Everytime your mother shits she thinks of you and wishes she'd had an abortion...

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup then thinks aborttion as she flushes

that is fucking funny! guess who defends your country of yellow bellies? my family some of them females... jeezus

You mother never even thought of you when she walked out. Same goes your "loving" father. When I say "loving" you know exactly what I mean, fudge packer. :1orglaugh

Some black humor there eh? Did you know any of your biological parents, Harambe?

racist feaner in thread slash anchor baby

Damn... good business :thumbsup

You are a fucking piece of shit. Do humanity a favor and go walk off a cliff, asshole.

This is murder. You have to be in fear for your life. The stand your ground law is fucked. If this stands then one could easily argue the woman had the right to shoot the man who had approached her vehicle. There was actually another case that happened right down the road from me where a man approached a vehicle in a road rage incident. When he got to the window, he was shot and killed. The shooter walked.

What man parked in a handicapped spot? Clearly you didn't read the story.

You must just be glad a black man was shot and killed while his son was there at the store.

I like how they awkwardly go out of their way to disrupt the flow of the article by adding 'who is [insert skin color]' to the story. There cannot be a more blatant attempt at provoking race card screaming readers into antagonizing riots, division and blaming racism for this incident. Way to go NYpost.

Shut the fuck up.

Since pointed that out...


According to the Urban Institute, in Stand Your Ground states, white-on-black homicides are 354 percent more likely to be ruled justified than white-on-white homicides.

nico t is a bitch ass racist! i never wrote anything into the article. both men are black

Hey look, a racist accusation based on nothing... Learn to read my post, then learn to read the article you copied and pasted, and then realise you have to eat those words you just typed to me:

An apology is in order. Yelling someone is racist based on a fantasy inside your ill-informed head, when that person is clearly not (unlike you i do read thoroughly and post a response based on facts) is a huge insult and defamation of character. But fortunately i don't take you serious like that. A simple 'sorry i'm an idiot and i was wrong' will suffice :thumbsup

You haven't heard?

He's a Crip. Since he was 9.

Florida ...

AS I often said, I change completely my behavior once I am there ...

I turn in a pussy, you can cut me off on the HW, you can pass in front of me in a line , etc ....
Fucking crazy gun toting hillbillys ....

you are great! you stalk and bother people on a message board :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Tough OG be hiding' with his guns loaded
