12-Year-Old Charged With Murder, Accused of Killing Sonic Employee

Man gunned down after confrontation with a man who was urinating in the parking lot, police say

A 12-year-old and a 20-year-old are both facing a murder charge after a restaurant employee was gunned down during an altercation with a customer Saturday night in Keene. ... Flowers and a cross now stand outside the Sonic Drive-In on Old Betsy Road in Keene. It’s a growing memorial to Matthew Davis, a 32-year-old employee and father who was shot and killed while on the job Saturday night.

According to a statement from Keene Police, the shooting happened at about 9:40 p.m. Angel Gomez, 20, went to the Sonic with several passengers and was acting "disorderly" in the parking lot when Davis confronted him for urinating in the parking lot, Keene Police Chief James Kidd said.

The confrontation turned physical and a 12-year-old who was in Gomez’s car pulled out an assault rifle and fired six rounds at Davis, Kidd said. ...Davis was struck multiple times and was taken by an air ambulance to a nearby hospital, but he did not survive.

Gomez and the 12-year-old fled the area, but Gomez eventually returned to the scene and was taken into custody. Police tracked the 12-year-old to Rio Vista where he was arrested.

A very messed up 12 year old but 4 years ago he was 8. Now he is 12 and he had access to a lethal machine and has been living in a culture that worships them.

A culture so repulsive you can’t get your head around it.
