July 26, 2009. MediaTakeOut.com is sad to report another senseless killing of an athlete. Last night former welterweight boxing champion Vernon Forrest was murdered by carjackers in Atlanta.
Here’s what happened. Vernon pulled his Jaguar into a gas station to put air in the tires around 11 p.m. last night. That’s when two goons pulled up in a red Chevrolet Monte Carlo and tried to carjack him.
Luckily, Vernon had his gun with him, so he pulled it out – and started running after the suspects. But that’s when things went terribly wrong!!! MediaTakeOut.com learned that after a brief foot chase, the goons exchanged fire with Vernon and Vernon was struck once in the head. He died almost immediately.
Such a SAD story. If anyone knows ANYTHING about this senseless killing, please contact the local authorities. Or if you’re scared of talking to the police, send in what you know to us at tips@mediatakeout.com – we’ll pass it onto the police WITHOUT disclosing your name.
