A jury found a grocery clerk guilty of killing a 17-year-old boy who ran out of the store with a beer he didn't pay for in Memphis, authorities said.

Anwar Ghazali was convicted of second-degree murder after a four-day trial, Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich said Friday. He will be sentenced on September 23. "This defendant took it upon himself to be the judge and jury and the executioner over a $2 beer," prosecutor Lora Fowler said, according to CNN affiliate WMC.The shooting happened in March 2018, after Dorian Harris walked out of the Top Stop Shop with a beer without paying, Weirich said.

Why steal at first place.. but again why even shoot for $2 .. humanity is dead.. peace people no one has to die like that.. lets be human again!!!

Terrible. Loss if life for a 2 dollar beer. This murderer will not last in jail.

Guilty of what? A dead thief sounds like he did society a favor.

Who committed the first act of crime? If something wasn’t stolen, nothing would’ve happened here.

LOL

There should be a rule in the US that you shouldnt shoot kids under 18

It must have been some good beer.

Okay.....time to loot with no consequences

He shot him in the leg so he more than likely would of lived with immediate medical attention! Didn't call 911 so he bleed to death! Body found 2 days later...😡😥

Why didn't this kids parents teach him any better? If you want something you WORK for it.

If it was the store clerk that got murdered... CNN wouldn’t of paid attention

It’s not about the price of the item stollen it is that the 17 year old felt fine about violating the store owner , the store, and the owner’s rights.

ranchwife11 I bet the next 17 yr old will think twice before stealing

Very sad.

He shot the teen several times. He even told other patrons that he shot him. Why did it still take TWO DAYS for anyone to find his body? 😳

What a career move. Murdering someone because they took A Beer? Proof that guns, regardless of type are a serious problem in this country. Perhaps the family of that 17 Year old can have a crack at the trigger happy clerk. Once they get out of jail

Was it an assault style beer?

I bet nobody steals from that store again

Killing someone over a $2 beer? Talk about taking things to an extreme.

It is generally against the law to use deadly force to defend property, but the criminals know that and use it to their advantage in committing crime. Yes, I should be allowed to shoot you for stealing my car.

Silly foreigner don't you know you have to be a cop to be found innocent of a unarmed shooting

Store clerk found guilty of murder for chasing, fatally shooting teen who stole $2 drinkThe former convenience store employee was accused of gunning down a teenager that stole a beer from a Tennessee convenience store. Good. My question is: how much does someone have to steal before it’s okay to shoot them? Seriously bad mistake. 'Grab and run' is common in convenience stores. Nothing in the store is worth a life. Now, if a thief points a weapon at you and your life is in danger that's another story.
