The murder, while planned and deliberate, may have been triggered by a turf war, court heard. “Shawn James wasn’t just some thug or some drug dealer. He was my stepfather and my best friend,” sobbed the victim’s 13-year-old stepdaughter.
“He brightened people’s days, especially mine. So many hearts have been broken because he’s not here any more. I’m left heartbroken. I’m broken,” said the emotional teen. “Why take a life that was so important and affected many others?”
James was the beloved father of a teenaged daughter and son and he had been with his stepdaughter since she was two years old, court heard.
He was highly respected in the community because he bought walkers for the elderly, supported the disabled and refused to sell drugs to children. The killer was accompanied by an older black man and a street prostitute. The driver circled James twice and on the second pass, the youth fired several shots from an open backseat window.
