Hours after chilling details of the slaying of his 9-year-old son were revealed in court, Pierre Stokes encountered the girlfriend of one of his son’s killers, prosecutors alleged Wednesday, then looked straight at her, threatened her and fired six shots. Stokes, 33, is accused of shooting and injuring the woman and her two adult nephews in March of 2016 to avenge the brutal killing of his son, Tyshawn Lee, that November.
The shocking killing of a 9-year-old — felled not by a stray bullet but rather shot in the head after he was lured into an alley with promises of treats — drew widespread media attention. Tyshawn was 83 pounds and 4-foot-8 when he died, wearing an orange polo shirt and carrying a basketball. The slaying was a result of clashes between factions of the Black P Stones and the Gangster Disciples. Stokes belonged to the Killa Ward faction of the Gangster Disciples, prosecutors alleged.
