A Man Shoots and Kills Another Man for Complimenting His Girlfriend's Bathing Suit Photo on Facebook


In June, a 21-year-old woman named Sharda Perkins from Oklahoma City posted a photo of herself in a bathing suit on Facebook. It's a one-piece, but one where the sides are cut out, so it's pretty revealing. And in July, a 48-year-old named Edmond Tyree left a comment on the photo, just saying, "DAMN." He misspelled it d-a-m-m, which is what people do on Facebook. It's not clear how Edmond knew Sharda. Five days later, Sharda's boyfriend, 20-year-old Antwion Martin, tracked Edmond down, and SHOT AND KILLED HIM, all because he left that Facebook comment. The police were able to piece together what happened, and arrested Martin for first-degree murder and shooting with intent to kill. David Prater is the district attorney for Oklahoma County. He says, quote, "This is a perfect example of some of the ridiculous reasons people kill for."
