Candlelight vigil for teen shooting victim in DeKalb turns deadly



Gunfire scattered a crowd of mourners gathered outside a DeKalb County apartment complex Sunday night to remember an 18-year-old killed Friday in a shooting.

When the bullets stopped, 17-year-old Ian Hagerty was dead, according to DeKalb police. Two other boys, a 16-year-old and 11-year-old, were injured.

They were attending a candlelight vigil at the Highlands at East Atlanta complex on Flat Shoals Road when the shooting broke out shortly before 6:30 p.m., police spokesman Lt. Shane Smith said in a statement. Responding officers found Hagerty and the 16-year-old victim at the scene, but the 11-year-old went to a nearby Walmart on Gresham Road for help, Smith said.
Taneaious wuzza gud boi. Definitely worth remembering with a candlelight vigil, as he was spreading the word of Christ and ministering to the needy at the time of his death.

The vigil was being held in remembrance of Taneaious McCune, who was killed Friday when police said he and three others attempted to break into a Gresham Road home and a resident fought back. Investigators have deemed the shooting justified and have charged three alleged accomplices with felony murder in his death.
The other two, Telvin & Jacqueze got shot as well.

The three home invasion suspects were also wounded Friday. Jacqueze Grier, 23, and a 15-year-old boy were taken to hospitals with serious injuries, according to police, and another man, 30-year-old Telvin Thomas, arrived at a hospital and was later linked to the break-in. At least one was in critical condition.
