Fox News
Just days after B.J. Taylor, a 17-year-old aspiring Olympic athlete, was shot to death in Houston, the man accused of killing him was freed on bond, according to a report.
"When I found he actually turned himself in, it gave me a bit of relief. OK, he’s off the streets," said Taylor’s mother. She and the aunt asked FOX 26 not to disclose their names. "Judge Hilary Unger, my heart is so broken right now. You allowed this criminal, this coward, a bond to be set free." "It’s like being sucker-punched all over again by our criminal justice system." The suspect charged in the case, identified as 18-year-old Omari Sykes, was an admitted gang member, the station reported. "He chased my baby down like he was an animal, just because he was in a fight," the victim’s mother claimed.More Related News
