A community in Kentwood is in mourning following a fatal stabbing that took place between two kids on the playground Monday evening.

It happened Monday at Pinebrook Village Mobile Home Park at about 6 p.m.

Police said four children were at the playground inside the mobile home park when a 12-year-old pulled out a knife and began stabbing Michael Conner Verkerke, 9, repeatedly.

That 12-year-old suspect has been identified by police as Jamarion Lawhorn. He is being charged as an adult with open murder and has pleaded not guilty.

Lawhorn is being held without bond.

Police said Verkerke was stabbed in the back. They said he ran to his home, which is a short distance from the playground. Once he arrived, Verkerke collapsed on the porch. He died a short time later at a nearby hospital.

Another idyllic summer day in middle America....

The vic was white . . . no photo of little Jamarion as of yet.

Possible yet just another hate crime that Eric Holder and Obama will ignore?

Utterly disgusting.

Initial news report at mlive.com indicated some really weird statements from the attacker, suggesting some sort of psychotic break or suicidal inclination. Abnormal at any age but waaaaay abnormal for a 12 yo at a playground.

Races are not being reported in stories I've seen, but given the names I am guessing the victim was white (or at least white father) and the perpetrator was probably not white. Guessing only. See my comment above though. I will give 1 billion to 1 odds that the attacker is from some kind of messed up family or lack of family.

Between this and the two teen girls who tried to murder a friend because of "slender man", WTF is the world coming to?

A pic of the 9 year old victim in the first link shows that he is white.

Waiting for the usual subjects to proclaim this senseless death a result of easy access to knives. Here, I'll hold my breath while I wait...



On a serious note, that is truly effed up.

And Jamarion is off to a promising start. If Obama had a 12 year old son, etc.


If convicted, Lawhorn would be held in a juvenile facility until he's 21. Every three months, his behavior would be evaluated to determine whether he should be released or not. Once he's 21, he would either be released or sent to an adult prison.

Called it, H A T E C R I M E. Sweep it under the rug . . .

A thing that aggravates me to no end is the way that this is worded, as though it was a transaction, or mutual interaction of some kind. If the witness accounts prove out, the 12 year old simply walked up and murdered this little boy three years his junior by stabbing him in the back! Thats not mutual interaction, it was the single minded action of a psychotic, or depraved psychopathic personality!

Did you read all of what he did and said afterward? As much as I like to see someone literally burn at the stake over this it isn't the boy who did the stabbing. Based upon what he said and barring unusual circumstance his parents and his shit sucking community are almost certainly to blame. I can't f***ing stand it anymore.

I'm all for scortched Earth against little Jamarion, his "parents", and his shit sucking community. He doesn't get a free pass cause of his age, not saying that is what you are suggesting here.

Amazingly enough when I was twelve years old I never murdered anyone.
