We reported earlier that an 18 Year old Kid from Washington Dc was murdered for his Concords which was released today.

 Before the turn of midnight, the release of the “Concord” Air Jordan 11’s had caused mayhem at several malls and shopping centers across America. The rumor of violence received a lot of attention around the DMV when there was word that an 18-year-old Tyreek Amir Jacobs was murdered for his Concords.

 The story started to get a lot of attention across social media including a retweet from CNBC’s Sports Business reporter Darren Rovell, the supposed victim’s name became a trending topic on twitter.

 With a little journalism work by Justin Fenton at the Baltimore Sun, this breaking story appeared to be nothing more than a well orchestrated rumor. First off, local police in the DC area refuted hearing any reports of such a crime. The next big thing uncovered was that the photo of the supposed victim, Tyreek Amir Jacobs, appears to be lifted from the NAACP’s Legal Defenders blog the just so happens to be a stock photo anyone can purchase for $1.43.
