A 17-year-old boy was fatally shot in Ohio earlier this month after allegedly carjacking an Amazon delivery driver.
Amazon Driver Fights Back
The Amazon driver was delivering in a neighborhood late in the afternoon. According to WKYC, the armed suspect approached the driver. He reportedly held the driver at gunpoint and took the vehicle.
The Amazon driver fired several shots. Reports do not indicate whether it was his gun. He hit the suspect at least once.
The suspect attempted to drive off in the vehicle. He crashed the car after his gunshot wound left him unable to drive.
When emergency personnel arrived on the scene, the suspect was dead.
Teenagers Running Amok
A few days later, the identity of the alleged carjacker was released.
Fox8 revealed that a series of thefts had been committed earlier that day by a group of teens. Police identified all five of the teen suspects.
The Amazon driver fatally shot 17-year-old suspect Alquin Wells.
The other four suspects’ ages range from 12 to 17. Their thefts included stolen phones and vehicles.
The four teens have been charged with aggravated robbery and grand theft. Two of them were also charged for a second incident the following day.
Neighbors Not Pleased
Neighbors were quite shocked that this shooting happened in broad daylight.
“I don’t like this in my front yard,” one neighbor told WOIO. “And it literally is in my front yard.”
This deadly carjacking happened at 4 p.m. on a Saturday. Half a block away, children were outside having a birthday party.
No one else appeared to be injured. One neighbor shared photos online of her car, with several bullet holes.
Potential Amazon Clapback
Amazon released a statement shortly after the incident. “We are saddened to learn of this tragic incident and are working closely with law enforcement as they investigate.”
Police have not commented on whether the driver shot in self-defense. But similar past events show that Amazon does not always care.

Well, well, well
Why is Amazon “saddened?” Their driver did what was necessary to survive and customer packages weren’t stolen👍
Another democrat dispatched, nice.
Whenever I read something like this I always hear Sammy Davis Jr singing in the background.
He broke the law, he was armed and fortunately so was the victim. Dems encourage violence and criminals to take what they want. The people not so much! He threatened to kill, high risk approach. Didn’t work out for him.
Fortunately he won’t be back to do more crimes.
Dr Evil’s Amazon will kick this driver to the curb. They can’t abide having a good guy with a gun associated with their woke public image and leftist agenda.
Good. One less “common denominator” type to have to deal with(& take care of in the corrections system for the rest of their useless life).
How long does it take for Cleveland to “come to terms with a deadly shooting” involving an armed criminal? Just wondering…
I’m sure amazon is more interested in the vehicle and criminal’s welfare!
less than 2 miles from my house (for all you people that don’t think we need guns)
