Second suspect arrested in Creekwood murder

what was she doing in creekwood at 3:00 if she was not tring to find crack it wouldn't happened

You are 100% right when you say "you reap what you sew". How did these young men get raised to KILL? My son is a Sergeant in a police department in another state who is the head of the K-9 unit. He is a Christian, raising 4 little boys along with his beautiful wife. I don't think anyone said the entire Boney family was no good (if I am wrong, I am sorry).I think that ALL children should be taught from the beginning that they can be anything they want to be. Who would WANT to grow up to be a killer? God bless you and your family. People shouldn't judge just because of your last name. And may God have mercy on Thaddeus.

I gaurentee that 90% off the people on here running there mouth about "my tax dollars" and "Creekwood is a Cesspool" have never had to struggle and had a silver spoon in your mouth. Let me tell you, I am WHITE and I lived in Creekwood, Houston Moore, and Garden Lakes! I have seen first hand people going to school, and going to work everyday! Some people do take advantage of the system, WHITE, BLACK, and LATINO.....! There are others who are trying to get on thier feet and this is the only option you have (which was my case) I worked my way up and out and there are others that are doing the same. The only reason there are not more WHITE people in the "Projects" is because they are scared, who's fault is that? Public Housing is Public Housing, it is not called BLACK housing. People sit her and try to make it seem like BLACKs are the only people using housing, and getting food stamps, and welfare checks....Have you ever been in Social Services? There an even amount of all races in there..... Yep I sure did use WIC when I was pregnant and I worked all 9 months of my pregnancy for $7.00 to $8.00 an hour, and my Rent in the "Projects" was $30.00 less than Full Rent, BIG BREAK I GOT! People learn your facts, know what your talking about.....Do you know how many times I was pulled over my WPD when I LIVED in the "projects" , numerous times because what? I WAS WHITE in the "Hood" Talk about racial Profiling....I guess I was coming to buy crack, but why not get the people selling crack, why me? I do not think that this woman bieng killed was justified, it was a bad choice, but parents are not to blame! 17 knows right from wrong, 5 year olds know right from wrong.....If for goodness sake it was your child would you want to be critisized when you have done the best that you could? What we really need to figure out is how why CHILD MOLESTERS and PEDIFILES, RAPISTS and MURDERERS are getting 2,3,4 years in prison and a Coke Dealer is getting 10,15,20! Nobody forces you to get hooked on, buy, or smoke crack. Do you have to choice to be murdered or raped? OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS FLAWED! To the family of this lady, I am sorry for your loss and I hope you find piece and forgiveness in your heart. For the families of the boys who are presumed to have commited the crime, I am sorry for your loss as well and hope you can find piece in your heart, you have lost a child as well. Please people stop talking about how the government is supporting Creekwood and public housing and find a way to help in the community! If you own a business give someone a job, offer an oppurtunity to someone....BLACK, WHITE, work together to help each other and god forbid you never fall on hard times and need the system and "My Tax Dollars" have to support you!!! Ignorance is Bliss!

A life was lost here! I don't feel sorry for the boys! I feel sorry for the family that will never get to see their loved one again. She shouldn't have been where she was at 3am, but what on earth were "these poor boys" doing with a gun, outside with hatred so deep that they could shoot another human being? God have mercy on y'all!

This poor child GENES are just CURSED!!! The whole family have had and have problems with the LAW.. Both of these boys Daddy's went down the same road.. Isn't it sad how time repeats itself????? Their families were big drug dealers etc. and now trying to turn their lives around. I guess. I don't live in the Port City anymore. Selling and using drugs will tear a family to pieces. I am so sorry that the cycle wasn't broken. I know that their families are toren up, but we have to hold these boys accountable for the crime that they committed. Because had the shoe on the other foot, they would have wanted that lady charged with murder as well. So instead of one family being hurt, its now three families. I hope that the lady family can find some forgiveness for the crime, and the boys make PEACE and ask for FORGIVENESS.

"Thou Shalt Not Kill"-one of the ten commandments that these "boys" parents should have taught them. It was not a mistake-they are not mentally challenged; they knew what they did was wrong. Besides, 17 year olds are not even legally allowed to possess a gun. The person who got them the gun should be begging God to forgive them, and they should be in jail too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just think its funny that people keep commenting to he "misfortunate" in the projects that u can't visit the keep commiting crimes against good people. If all of these "intelligent" minds would come together and see that not only there is a problem there, but it is not going to be solved by poeple mnaking comments about the co-habitators of creekwood's financial status, or whether or not your tax money is footing their bills, even though they are, and just take the time and see through what the news story is actually telling you. yes, there was a wrong done, but not by anyone that actually lives in that neighborhood. NEITHER of the assailants are residents of creekwood... and everytime something happens to someone out there, the criminal usually lives miles away, probably right near you. Everybody keeps talkin about tearing creekwood down, they shouldn't tear it down, they should make the same people the jail for tearing it down come out there and do some community service cleaning it up, so that the decent people that have to be afraid to tell on them can witness retribution, first hand. Furthermore, they already have an identification system in place out there, they need to enforce a little bit stronger. Maybe they should get a gatekeeper, and a curfew, and anyone without resident indentification or out there after visiting hours cannot be allowed to loiter 30th street. Those are things that can acutally make a difference without making people that live out there and get up and go to work everyday and support their families and pay the same taxes you do, don't have to feel like the roaches "tearing down their hopeless community" makes them feel like. Creekwood is being destroyed by the very people we call our neighbors, the ones that come out to buy the drugs and the ones that come out there to sell the drugs and then they come home and sleep right next door to you and me.

Why is it that whenever we, the taxpayers, foot the bill for the "less fortunate" to have a place to live, they ALWAYS trash it? I'm sick of it....then, when they've destroyed their own, they venture out to trash ours! There are places in Wilmington you cannot even go anymore because we have coddled people for so long and put up with so much to avoid being labeled discriminatory. This is so unsettling to me. Wilmington used to be so pretty. UGH !!!

Okay…A mistake, so some of you are saying he made a mistake, he is being charged with murder, shooting someone or being involved somehow, what if he had was drinking and driving and killed someone. Would you all consider it a “mistake” I highly doubt it. He made the choice now he has to live with it. As for the comment about the Landfall murder, lets not compare statistics from any “government housing” communities to one that has hard working people, or people who have inherited money from their hard working family. The “assistance” (free ride) that a good portion of the residence of Creekwood, is teaching people it is okay to be lazy, giving them the mentality that if I got a real job (tax paying) they are going to take some of the assistance away. I’ve heard people make that remark. And they don’t want that so they go out and make quick un-honest money. I mean I hope my tax dollars don’t pay for them to be “fly and rock ice” have their grills and drive a $45k+ SUV with their 22in chrome wheels. They are making a lot of money somehow. I wonder?? If there are residence of that area that are tired of the crime and filth that flocks to Creekwood, do something about it get a job, or the easiest of all cooperate with the police the motto “cops aren’t waiters so they don’t get tips” is pure BS. We all make our lives so don’t complain when you are not willing to do something about it. As for the parents I know when I was 17 there was no way in hell I was out at 3am. My parents knew what went on where I grew up, Philadelphia. Why are parents so scared of their children? Military school, boot camp, there are all types of “tough love.” If I would have committed a crime at 17 and my parents knew about it they would have been the first to turn me in. Thank god they taught me right from wrong when I was a small child. The excuses need to just stop.

I start by saying i feel for this woman as well as these guy's.This should be a lesson for all youth.Some parents are trying to raise they kids right but fear of the law can stop that as well.It's a certain way to talk to your kids you can't spank them. When something like this happen the parents did not raise them. The truth is you don't allow them to. Some kids you can talk to some needs spanking.Don't the cops talk to some and beat others .They under stand cop abuse. It's bad when the parents want to spank they kids they are wrong but when this happen the parents are at fault. Parenets you are dam if you do and dam if you dont. What are the parents to do go to jail and start spanking the kids. Parents i say to you god has the last say.May god bless your family as well as the woman's.

I HAVE READ A LOT OF THE COMMENTS ACCUSING THE PARENTS OF NOT RAISING THEIR CHILD RIGHT. THIS NEEDS TO STOP. THE PARENTS HAVE DONE THEIR JOB IN RAISING THIS CHILD RIGHT. SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE GOOD PARENTS THE CHILD WILL STILL MAKE A STUPID DECISION. THIS YOUNG MAN IS 17 YRS OLD. HE MUST NOW ANSWER FOR THE DECISIONS HE MAKES IN LIFE, AND SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. THIS IS IN NO WAY THE PARENTS FAULT, STOP BASHING THE PARENTS. THIS CRIME HAS IN ESSENCES DEVASTATED 3 FAMILIES. THEY BOTH HAVE LOST THEIR CHILDREN ON DIFFERNT LEVELS. MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES INVOLVED.

i think that this child is innocent. if you knew him the way everyone else did youll know why people are saying he's innocent. to all you negative that have smart comments you know what to do!!!!!!!!

Ok, first of all...Are ya'll kidding? Creekwood? 3am? Aint nothing going on in there at 3am thats legal. Admit it if you live there, learn it if you dont. Second, most people that live in there are decent people, but are scared of the younger generation thats taken over. There is more disrespect to the elders there than anywhere in the county. Most of the 13-30 yr olds are rude, violent and flat out obnoxious. They will chase you down, especially if you get caught behind public transpo and are white, asking you "whatchu want? whatchu need?" then tell you to get the hell out of there if you dont buy drugs. The parents and grandparents of the 13-30 yr olds are scared of them and cannot solve the problem, yet I believe wish they could. Its time to clean house back there and put time limits on the government subsidized housing. There are 3 generations of families that have lived back there in the same place...on the taxpayers dollars. How about a 1-2 yr limit? And how about the citizens of Creekwood GROW a pair and take back their neighborhood from the dropout hoodlums and gangsters and quit supporting them? Everytime you see the cops back there, the citizens are arguing with the cops, telling them to get the hell out of there. YOU CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS PEOPLE! Either help them or continue to live in the degenerate cesspool that Creekwood has become. BET/MTV/ Rap music sure has helped raise some good children hasnt it? Good job parents!
