More Black On Black Crime

Not this time. But seriously, this is just a shame! I just don't understand WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!!!

Authorities have arrested a 16-year-old boy who lives near homicide victim Pamela Vitale, the wife of well-known defense attorney Daniel Horowitz, in connection with the killing, and sources told The Chronicle her slaying stemmed from a credit-card theft scheme.

Investigators arrested Scott Dyleski late Wednesday night at a relative's house after obtaining a warrant alleging murder, and one source close to the investigation told The Chronicle that Dyleski will be charged as an adult.

Authorities believe Dyleski killed Vitale, 52, on Saturday by striking her 39 times in the head with a piece of crown molding, then carved some kind of gothic signature into her back, the source said.

When arrested, Dyleski, who is 5'5' tall and weighs 110 pounds, had scratches on his face and legs consistent with a violent struggle, the source said."

...

The motive for the killing appears to stem from a credit-card theft scheme allegedly carried out by Dyleski and another teenage friend, who has not been implicated in the killing, one source said on condition of anonymity.

Investigators believe Dyleski and his friend planned to start a marijuana-growing operation, with Dyleski in charge of raising money, one source said. Dyleski is believed to have stolen credit card bills from mailboxes and used the cards to order supplies, the source said.

Dyleski ordered supplies Oct. 12 and believed they were delivered to Vitale's house on Hunsaker Canyon Road in Lafayette, although they never were delivered, the source said, adding that Dyleski is believed to have gone to the property Saturday morning to find the supplies, but got into a confrontation with Vitale.

Dyleski drank a glass of water after the killing, washed his hands in the sink, took a shower at the house and left the weapon behind, the source said. The youth lives about a mile up the road from Horowitz and Vitale, but a trail through the secluded canyon places the two houses much closer.

This is positively senseless!

With the state of culture today, I am not surprised a bit. The cultural rot called "hip hop" which glorifies every uncivil and criminal act up to and including murder....video games which are nothing more than murder simulators....ultra violent and sadistic movies....hardly anyone living in a traditional family relationship anymore...I could go on and on but I won't...nah I am not surprised at all!

Being "Gothic" nothing to do with it... I'm gothbut you don't e me killinanybody. Satan drw this boy to do thin heas bein oediet to his inffernal, immortal master. Not all "goth's" are satanic... hell i know alot of christian goths. So don't blame the way he dresses or the fact that he wears make-up... blame the things that drew him to do the act.

My point was that his being a Goth is no more of a cause than Hop Hop is. The boy had untreated emotional issues that may have stemmed from the death of his sister. What we see with this tragic crime and the case of the mother who tossed her kids into the bay is that many, many people need help and if they don't get treatment, the consequences can become deadly.
