The act occurred in Miami where a young woman was killed after her pair of sneakers was stolen
There is no doubt that bigotry and obsessions are harmful, proof of this is what happened in this area of Miami, where a young woman was killed after a dispute over three pairs of sneakers.
The woman’s name was Andrea Camos Lacayo and she died after being shot three times. As the events occurred, Andrea and her boyfriend Sergio Berben, both 19, completed the sale of three pairs of adidas Yeezy.
The meeting point was in a kind of abandoned house where Adrian Cosby and George Walton waited for them. The latter approached the couple to try the pair when he suddenly pulled out a gun and shot both youngsters. Andrea was shot between the pelvis and abdomen while her boyfriend suffered an arm wound.
Berben immediately took his girlfriend to Jackson South Medical Center to be cared for. Nonetheless, the young woman died due to the severity of the injuries. As for those responsible, they were arrested and turned in to the authorities.
“The loss is immeasurable, but so is the love left behind.” This was posted by Terra Environmental Research Institute, where Andrea attended high school. On the other hand, Walton told police that “his only attention to meet Berben was to steal the shoes once he tried them on.”
Lastly, we regret this kind of news because it is deplorable to end a life over a pair of Yeezys.
