SMH. Just shows he has no respect for anything. He probably should have been locked up a long time ago. If he shot someone over a cell phone, I can only imagine other things he's probably done.

@mandy - that punk didn't want the cell phone for himself. He would have sold it and use the proceeds for dope - end of story. After proving his manliness by shooting the victim who really gives a rats-ass "where he was in his life"?
