HS Football player stabbed to death in parking lot after graduation

[quote]One of the brightest stars of the 2010 PSAL football season in New York City was Isayah Muller, the Harry S. Truman (N.Y.) High running back who set a career rushing record while leading his team to a 23-20 PSAL Bowl title against Beach Channel (N.Y.) High in late November. Seven months later, he was pronounced dead hours after his high school graduation, following a shocking stabbing during an argument with parking attendants at the event.
According to the Associated Press and numerous sources, Muller, his family and his girlfriend were leaving the Truman High School graduation on Tuesday when his father noticed a bottle of cologne -- a graduation gift for his son -- that had been left in their car during the ceremony at Lehman College was missing.
The elder Muller stopped the car and began arguing with the parking attendants about the missing cologne. After seeing his father argue with the attendants, Isayah Muller got out of the car and joined the fray, eventually receiving stab wounds from both of the two parking attendants involved in the altercation. One wound struck him in the side while another was delivered to his chest.
The teenager was quickly transferred to nearby Saint Barnabas Hospital and died hours later. His father and both attendants reportedly involved in the fight have already been taken to the New York Police Department's 52nd Precinct, though it is unknown whether any charges have been -- or will be -- levied against any of the involved parties.
Muller's death brought a shocking and tragic end to what had been a magical year for the teenager. After a long high school football career at Truman, the senior saved his best performance for last, running for an astounding 290 yards and two touchdowns in his team's upset bowl victory against Beach Channel.
"Isayah Muller is the type of player who steps up when the game is on the line," said Truman coach John-James Shepherd told the New York Daily News after the bowl victory. "The more pressure he has, the more comfortable he is."[/quote]

I know his death was over something stupid, but let's be honest, a lot of deaths are over trivial things.
That dosn't make them any less tragic.
I predict some asshole saying "And nothing of value was lost"
And nothing of value was lost

Why the fuck did the parking attendants see fit to stab him TWICE?

I'll make sure to show up at your funeral and say that.
Over cologne
Really
What a shitty way to go

Why the fuck did the parking attendants see any logic in stabbing him at all?
They probably knew that they got caught stealing and wanted to silence him.
Why did parking attendants stab him at all?

Why the fuck not, they STABBED HIM TWICE.
Isayah Muller.
$10 says it was over cultural issues.
Sad to see someone cut down in the prime of their life.
The dad gets the blame for this one. First off, cologne? Really? Next, leaving valuables in the car, especially if attendants are going to park it for you? No one does that. Next, if you have left the scene of the 'crime' without saying anything, there's no point in going back. What, you expect someone to say "Oh yeah, I took it, sorry, here you can have it back."? Next, if you don't have evidence of who did it(there were at least two attendants), don't go around making accusations. Next, don't start a fight over it. You screwed up and left your stuff in the car, let it go it's gone. Finally, once your kid, who just graduated, jumps into the fight it's time to end the idiocy. Your kid should be celebrating an important moment of his life and you have created a situation where he is fighting parking attendants?!?!
We can't ignore the fact that a young adult has been killed due to someone's stupidity. It doesn't matter if it was over cologne. Even if it started with a fight, what constitutes the use of a lethal weapon? Especially if it is in high school grounds.
That's just too bad.
I don't even care to get into the debate about who is at fault because that won't bring the guy back to life. The one who had the knife is at fault of course, but I'm pretty sure he didn't grab it unprovoked just for the thrill of killing.
So, that's just too fucking bad.

And that makes it okay for the two attendants to stab the kid twice. Brilliant!
Why does it matter he played football in high school.
Unnecessary details.
Holy shit, what a way to go. I mean for that to happen on graduation night is just straight up wrong. They better press charges against those guys.

Do you ask questions like this to yourself when you read obituaries?
The whole question right now I'm wondering is why those attendants have knives?
This really sucks. Stealing someone's graduation gift and then killing them when they confront you about it, just wow.
:911:
I guess you can't do EVERYTHING with the power of old spice. =[
What were the parking attendants doing with knives anyway?

This is the question people should be asking.
What assholes think its OK to stab someone over cologne?

People have been murdered for much less.

This is god awful by the way.
It really is.
And he didn't get killed over the cologne. It wasn't a robbery-murder.
I mean I've gotten hit in the face by someone for suspecting him of stealing some of my beers at a party. The difference is that he didn't murder me. (And he didn't actually steal anything, but he's known for being a shady guy. Never really see him anyway)
So.. what have we learned from this? People can be erratic and easily agitated..

Don't forget, red light cameras are a government conspiracy to take your paycheck!
I always love reading your posts in this section. It's like I'm reading a extremist right-wing conspiracy theorist's blog, but with self-righteous justification added.
This is one of those stories where we don't get to know all the details. I'm pretty sure something major went down.
