The face of an animal

Eric Ellington

From the Miami Herald:
When Miami Gardens police asked Eric Ellington, 17, why he shot an unarmed man numerous times at a gas station, he gave a simple, chilling response:

“He didn’t look scared enough,” ...  Ellington replied.

Seated nearby at a press conference Thursday, the mothers of the two victims heard those words and began to cry.

Ellington and two other teens are now in a Miami-Dade County jail, held without bond and accused of killing the man and his companion nearly two months ago during a robbery.
