PONTIAC, Mich. — The adventures of Pookie & Ray Ray continue. Black Girl Unlost released the murder documentary of 16-year-old Desiree Childs who was shot dead a month after her birthday. The femicide transpired around 11:30 p.m. on October 28th near her home in Pontiac, Michigan. According to police reports, Desiree — an aspiring cosmetologist — was sauntering with a female friend when she got caught in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting. “She didn’t get a chance to grow, she was just getting started,” said Desiree’s father, Rommell Childs. “Once she heard the gunshots, she started to run, but she was running in the direction of bullets.” The teen popsy was rushed to the hospital where she died from her injuries. K’Nique Djon Lawrence was eventually arrested and charged with murder. He’s also charged with felon in possession of a firearm and two counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Rommell implored family members to eschew reprisal.

“I don’t want anybody doing street justice,” he pleaded.

“Let the sheriffs do their job.”

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard assigned 20 detectives to work the case. He doesn’t believe Desiree was the intended target. “I continue to be proud of the great work our whole team is doing to bring a sliver of closure to the family and community in this horrific case,” Bouchard said in a statement. “Holding the perpetrators accountable is a step in that direction.”

Desiree’s age was the cynosure of many viewers.

One commenter wrote, “She don’t look 16, that’s the problem and out at 11:30 pm?”

Another person added, “Definitely don’t want 16 year old girls walking at 11:30. Very sad this baby lost her life.”

  1. Where was she going? These kids always walking up and down the streets in which they should be able to but they can’t. My family member have a friend all she want to do is walk up and down/down and up. I don’t stand for it.

  2. These People Don’t Care That Thier Kids Are Out Late At Night! SAD!😮

  3. Why was a 16 year old outside that time of night? So sad and totally avoidable 😢

  4. My sixteen year old daughter wouldn’t be walking from anywhere at 11pm, she’d be in the car with pop dukes, bringing her home, I don’t care who she was with!!

  5. When i say the devil is reaping souls i mean it. Its time to give your heart to JESUS CHRIST, AND i’m so serious. Many throw up the devil horns but don’t know the dangers. Now is the time to repent and come to JESUS

  6. It’s best for teen girls not be out at night. Some parents try to be their kids friend than be an authority figure. I’m a grown woman and I don’t be out my house that late at night. This is so sad a young girl lost her life because some thugs wanted to shot guns SMH!

  7. @Ambitious Beauty: Or not live around nakers. Move your family out of Blackistan so they don’t have to worry about drive bys.

  8. Mama and Daddy trying to be “friends”.Because the rule was anything NOT grown “HAD BETTER BE IN MY HOUSE ‘FO DARK”….My mother has (5) daughters she was raising into the women we are today.Almost like Parents don’t even wanna do the job

  10. Forever 16 just like my son Isaiah he was killed may 31 2022 while playing basketball he was shot and ran to his dads house where he died in my younger sons arms this is not easy every day is a struggle

  11. The Daddy is a strong man. He said he do not want street Justice. That’s to me is the best justice. I’m truly heartbroken for her family and friends. Life is never fair.

  12. Y’all are so focused on how old she looks or why she was out at night. I agree she should be inside or within someone’s care so late at night…but that is not out of the ordinary for a teen and it shouldn’t be a death sentence. She didn’t deserve to be murdered just because you were raised differently. Y’all are victim blaming instead of mourning for her .

  13. STOP HAVING BLAX BABIES
    STOP HAVING BLAX BABIES
    STOP HAVING BLAX BABIES

    STOP HAVING BLAX BABIES

  14. These folks are CRAZY…. When the world realizes the only OPPS they have is the government… THEY PUT THE GUNS ON THE STREETS … FLOODED THEM….. KNOWING MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE IN POVERTY AND UNSTABLE…. BUT THAT’S NO EXCUSE…WHY ARE WE DOING THIS TO EACH OTHER… THE GOVERNMENT is the opposition of JEHOVAH and Jesus…. Man Cannot control Man…. REPENT… WAKE UP.. OPEN YOUR BIBLE…OR YOU’LL BE LEFT BEHIND… YOU MUST MEDITATE AND PRAY TO GOD TO HAVE THE POWER TO DEFEAT WHAT’S COMING

  15. So if the bullet wasn’t meant for her then it means the bullet was meant for one of her friends she was with. The bullet had to be meant for somebody. Something’s fishy right now.
