In Brevard County, Florida, Adrian Corice Johnson Jr., 20, was charged with murder when his partner, 20-year-old Ladarius Bentley was killed by their intended robbery victim.
Detectives determined Johnson and Bentley were planning to rob a former co-worker of Johnson’s. The man was lured to the house under the pretense of selling drugs. He was confronted by Bentley, who was armed with a handgun. A struggle ensued over the firearm, but Bentley lost control of it and was shot by the man he was trying to rob. Johnson fled the scene.
The target of the robbery will not face charges for Bentley’s death.

“Ladarius” … oh, brother
Clearly much lost potential…
Shot with his own gun after a struggle. Poetic?
Ever notice how many of these end up involving the exchange, or potential exchange, of drugs?
I’m sure that is just an unrelated coincidence. /s
“…will not face charges for Bentley’s death.”
No, but he will face drug charges.
Ladarius.
