Albert Davis, 31 years old from Aiken County, S.C., has been charged with murder after demanding 3 year old to chase his victim around the backyard of a South Carolina home.
photo provided by the Aiken County, S.C. Detention Center.
According to the articles I have found this occurred Oct 17th in the afternoon, but very little is known about this story at the time. Nothing has surfaced on why Albert Davis wanted 24 year old Timothy Johnson dead.
In a report from abcNEWS, Timothy Johnson was shot in the chest and Albert Davis was charged with murder, possession of a stolen handgun and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
No information on the 3 year old has been reported thus far.

such inhuman acts are of no use.. i don't understand why people even think of doing so..
One of those resaons are influence by drugs
yes u r right... it is major reason which is becoming hard to stop
why is this even a news item and why are people so scandalized? People live in a country that glorifies gun culture so whether people are killed by a 3 yr old or a 93 yr old grandmother is beside the point. The situation is insane. What do you expect - how about this? A Re-enactment of the Hadfield- McCoy feud with cats and dogs and live ammo. Absurd...
LPT: When being chased around a backyard by a toddler with a gun, don't just run "around".
Get out of there. Hop a fence or something
Maybe I'm a horrible person (hopefully just weird), but I looked it up and couldn't stop myself from watching. I take back that joke. This is atrocious. So messed up. Here's the link....
@avesa, Did you put the wrong link? This video is of some baby lions and tigers and has nothing to do with the story
haha I was kidding about the video, but the story is real. Here's the post I read.....

What a beautiful tiger, I know I was one in one of my past lives!!!
this is not good, so sad.. such inhuman acts are of no use.
1.The quest for power: since the beginning of time men have used polarizing arguments to motivate the masses in order to achieve their own personal agenda’s.
2.Propaganda/brainwashing: we all start getting brainwashed the day we are born. Our parents indoctrinate us in their core beliefs and many/most of retain some or all of those beliefs for our entire lives. It’s not malicious but it’s certainly a form a brainwashing and it’s part of the human condition. The cultural environment you’re born into has a lot to do with who you’re going to become. If you were born elsewhere and/or raised by different parents you probably would be a very different person.
3.Radicalization: This is where someone typically for personal power reasons misuses the religious/cultural message and brainwashing people have already received. It’s more vehement, it’s more invasive and usually pitched in an immersive nature. This is how cults “brainwash” their members. Full immersion in a new culture with a radical message and usually coupled with isolation from outside intervention or different views. It basically is the advanced use of point 2 in the pursuit of point 1.
4.Poverty: This is not critical but it makes people more susceptible to brain washing. The worse off your current predicament the more likely you’re receptive to a radical message, particularly with a promise of something better as the carrot. Thus the 72 virgins at the end of the rainbow. It’s a lot harder (but not impossible) to talk a 17 year old with an x-box, a car, money in his pocket and a girlfriend into strapping on a bomb vest than it is a kid with little or no education, no economic prospects and no shoes on his feet.
Human nature: There are so many aspects of the human psyche that allow us to be manipulated by charismatic leaders. The need to belong, the quest for a cause and the sense of purpose that entails. The promise of something better or the mob mentality created by “us vs them” propaganda. You could write a book on all the social and psychological factors that radical leaders exploit when creating a following. They determine what you’re looking for and then they promise it to you if you follow their agenda. This works equally well in individuals or groups though the methodologies are slightly different.
Ultimately Islam is just the tool being used to frame the message by a lot of terrorist groups because it’s already indoctrinated in most of their target audience in the places they are growing their movements. The fact that Islam is the religion in so many poverty stricken locations and the core message so easily twisted to violence only exacerbates the problem. As with most ancient religious texts it’s pretty easy to spin whatever message you want out of the convoluted messages being broadcast more than 1000 years ago.
@Mohit670. How does the above comment about power, propaganda, religion and brainwashing relate to this murder story?
@mohit670, I appreciate what you have written here and find it to be quite relevant. All too often we look at the surface symptom and take little time and have little care for the deeper issues or deeper causes. Did you post this on your profile here on steemit? if not you should. I would really appreciate it if you would take a look at my most recent post. https://steemit.com/california/@nanabaakan/the-fire-this-time-california-2017

Hi Joseph
Your blogs have reported a lot of negative/depressing news recently.
Are you ok?
I don't own a TV so to avoid this additional negativity in my life - I'm not sure seeking it out is entirely beneficial to yours, or fellow Steemians well-being.

Hello @joseph
This news is weird,i can't imagine the sight of a 3 year old with a gun,can he/she handle the gun that's what is surprising or maybe the culprit assisted the kid.
Jesus! Where has all the love gone?

I feel very sad for the victim.
Very wicked of him to murder someone using an innocent 3yr old... Am sure he may have told the poor child that's it's a game ...lots if evil happening... Tks @joseph for sharing such to us so we all be careful from predators...
The world is wicked
The world is just the world
The gun used in this crime was just a gun
Its evil/twisted people that that are responsible not their habitation or tools.
a hammer can be used to build a house or hammer another person to death is the hammer wicked or the person using it?
Sure @princeshady5
Can't agree more...
Yesterday a woman from my neighborhood killed a two year old child because of a grudge she had with the mum. And now I read this? How can any grown being force a three year old to commit murder? What did he think that did to him? Allow me to say humanity is evaporating fast and that will end us.
Emotional piece on my end.
where has humanity gone to, a coward send a 3 year old to do his dirty job, this just sick, cant imagine the horror this child will grow with knowing that he took someone else life, this guy needs to be locked up and the key thrown to the bottomless pit,

He was training his 3 years old child for shooting practice on the victim!!! How pathetic! What type of father he is!!!
You should edit your headline. 3 years old child, not the 3 year old gun - i think.
This man is sick
What was the motivation to give a 3 year old a gun?? Did he think he could get away with it if the child was the murderer?
Murica Bro...
Wow this is sick! 20 to life is a small sentence for this guy!
law of gun posession is a nuscence! What else can u want from U.S.A!
just sheer evil, i'd say. i wonder what the world has become !
Congratulations @joseph!
