Friends told WNEW's Karen Adams that somebody approached Charles "Chuck" Walker, a freshman at Suitland High School, on the street and demanded he hand over the shoes. When Walker refused, he was shot to death.

- This is what happens when citizens feel that they should be given anything they want at anytime. Even when they do not deserve it. This is what happens when every child on a team gets a trophy for coming in 255th place. We don't want anyone's feeling hurt.
