No problem, I was also a student and I met him in the hallway for the first and last time. I had just left my English 4 class, and started walking in the hallway. I noticed the 2 boys in front of me were walking slow. Very slow. And both of them were talking about something pertaining to a male that was mad at Darius. I was about to just walk around them but when I looked up and saw his beautiful hair, I grabbed his shoulder to get his attention so I could compliment his hair. The black boy besi... ...View Post & Comment
Who beautiful hair? Be in detail so we can solve this case quickly we don\'t have room no more to sugarcoat or hide any facts. What happened, why the hallway wasn\'t ok? ... ...View Post & Comment
I was saying that in my opinion , I think that Darius had beautiful hair. Ok so, Darius let me start playing in his hair and we stood there talking. At first it was normal but then I noticed the other guy chose to stand off a little bit in the distance, away from us two and he kept getting more impatient. Over and over he just saying "He waitin for you, Bo" so I asked Darius "Is your friend ok? " and it was sad like his voice got lower and he said "Ain\'t even tryna think about that right now." ... ...View Post & Comment
Ok ok so that\'s smart to stall but why you ain\'t hooty hoo or call for a teacher? Or tell the other guy to leave the victim alone? Like what was your reaction, thoughts and input during this bcuz I\'m tryna make sense of this.... ...View Post & Comment
No one would have listened to me. A hooty hoo in the hallway would\'ve just got me stares and attitude. People would\'ve just called me crazy or said that I was weird. Or told me to mind my business. Also , putting him on the spot in the hallway would\'ve been humiliating for him. Especially since I\'m a girl, so that also would\'ve emasculated him , and the other guy had already told him he was a b****. ... ...View Post & Comment
That kid was cussing at him?? Ok I heard him tell Darius to "Be for real for once." So by saying that, it seems like maybe they were friends because that \'for once\' implies that Darius was usually goofing off and happy. That was sad to hear and see, it\'s like the shooter and the kid chipped away at every bit of joy he had that day. This is sad. ... ...View Post & Comment
Yes calling him a b**** but he pronounced it in some kind of accent. He said "bih" instead of pronouncing the -itch part. It\'s the same word, but I think it\'s a dialect or slang. Keep in mind please that at the time, the shooting did not happen yet. I had no idea the dude that was waiting for him was going to shoot him. No wonder Darius didn\'t want to go meet him. That was his gut instinct kicking in. The look in his eyes, his body language while standing with his back against the wall. The ... ...View Post & Comment
Yea when something feel off, listen to that fr. I\'m the same, vibes never ever lie. So all 3 of y\'all was just standing in the hallway ? I bet that looked suspicious especially since what happened after. This was all the same day right? The same day before the shooting right?... ...View Post & Comment
Yes, the exact same day for certain. No guessing, no I think this, or I think that. I vividly remember touching his hair and talking to him in the hallway. I was definitely a student and I definitely spoke to him face to face that day. Yes, in the hallway off to the side. We weren\'t in the middle blocking traffic. I even remember my left arm brushing against the wall. I even remember what class I had just left from before speaking to him in the hallway. ... ...View Post & Comment
If that\'s a friend then what in the world is a enemy are you sure they knew each other before that day? What if they had also just met that day? Like I\'m lost on how all 3 knew each other or was all 3 related? The angry guy the skinny boy and the victim what was they relation to each other? ... ...View Post & Comment
Friends can be fake or turn on you so that\'s what I meant. For all we know it could\'ve been an acquaintance, a relative, a roomate, etc. I highly doubt those 2 had just met that day. Nobody would just leave school with a random stranger. Those 2 had to at least have had some type of previous interaction before the hallway. When you tell somebody \'for once\' it really does imply that the person is usually not being serious enough to your liking.... ...View Post & Comment
Sorry P but you lost me fr. If someone in your circle turn on you or being fake that\'s not even a friend. That\'s just your enemy that waited for the right time to get you. So my thing is this ... if that was your first time meeting the victim and you noticed the victim was uncomfortable, how the kid not notice this too? ... ...View Post & Comment
That\'s how you know this other boy really was younger . Younger people can\'t read the room, so they don\'t know boundaries to recognize when someone don\'t want to do something. He probably just wanted Darius to stand up for himself. You can\'t just assume he knew a shooting would take place when they both got there.... ...View Post & Comment

All we doing is gathering facts and comparing info . We just tryna make this timeline work. If we can\'t re create the timeline, we cannot solve the case. You got it now? We don\'t care if this other boy was a kid to you, rn the focus is on the victim. ... ...View Post & Comment
When they both walked off, the other boy turned around and gave me the death stare. A warning glance type of look, an unsettling glare. Directly into my eyes. But then right after doing that, he gave me a head nod and a gentle smile. Hot or cold. Friend or foe? One minute nice, next minute cold. ... ...View Post & Comment

Well, I had to attend school the next day because I was graduating that year and also I had to keep up my attendance just in general. It\'s not that I pretended, what was I supposed to say or do? That other boy had already told someone I was begging for beeswax so I got called out for that twice by two different students so it was already too late. I guess the other boy made it seem like the reason they left school was to get me some beeswax. I didn\'t even have dreads, so I was flabbergasted. O... ...View Post & Comment

We were talking about hair and he was explaining starter locs and asked me if I was locking up but I said no, I like afros too much to get dreads. The conversation went to shea butter and beeswax because they\'re both yellow.. Then we kept talking about natural hair. He said he would bring some beeswax tomorrow, when he said the word tomorrow I asked him if I could touch his hair again, but this time I just wanted to whisper to him without the other boy hearing.

This kinda irritating me ngl.

It wasn\'t about physical strength or appearance. That other boy\'s voice and attitude seemed like he was the serious type. Look at this from my perspective. His demeanor was not approachable. He also kept alternating his personality. How do you glare at someone while giving a head nod and then smile right after?. It looked like an endearing smile too, the kind where your eyes are also smiling. You know how startling it is for someone to switch up like that in real time? Next, he started talking... ...View Post & Comment

Right? I was mainly captivated by his voice. That\'s what caused me to eavesdrop so bad. I wasn\'t even being nosey, he really did have a magnificently attractive voice. He was still wrong for talking down on Darius though. I don\'t think the other boy realized how charming he was, despite his constant changes in mood. ... ...View Post & Comment

And then with that guy being off to the side it prolly just look like he was just waiting for y\'all to finish talking. Thank u... ...View Post & Comment
He did notice how uncomfortable he was. That\'s precisely why he was telling Darius to stop being a b word. He noticed, but he was just too preoccupied with getting him to the angry guy quickly.... ...View Post & Comment
The other boy said, "Hurry up before she get there." And that\'s when Darius left with him. Calling him out his name didn\'t work, neither did begging in a nicer tone. But when he brought up that female, that\'s when he got his back off the wall and eventually left with that boy. To this day, I have no idea the "she" that was supposed to get there. Darius knew right away who he was referring to, but her name wasn\'t mentioned. So this woman/girl was someone they both knew. ... ...View Post & Comment

Not saying nothing bad about you, but are you sure 100 percent the "she" person wasn\'t you? I\'m just ruling out things so we can narrow that down a bit. ... ...View Post & Comment
It\'s okay, the "she" person wasn\'t me at all for so many reasons. The biggest reason is that I wasn\'t even allowed to hang out with boys during that time. Also, the other guy was trying to get him away quickly, not bring extra people along. I also didn\'t know the location they were headed to at the time anyway.... ...View Post & Comment
Ok so the one that was waiting for him is the angry guy that ended up shooting him? Right or am I lost?. Is this all the same guy or was there multiple different guys that was mad at him? Did either of them say anything about meeting someone else or mention if someone else was also waiting for the victim??

Now it makes sense why the younger boy was happy going out the door. So he had been begging Darius to leave with him and Darius finally gave in to his nagging. So it\'s possible that kid thought he was about to witness a fist fight. That could explain why he got so happy. Can you imagine his surprise when he ended up witnessing a full blown murder instead? Yikes.! He probably felt so bad for encouraging the meet up. ... ...View Post & Comment

Nope, not defending. I\'m just approaching this from every angle possible. Consider this: what if the shooter told that boy to bring Darius to him? Why else would he be so impatient to get them to meet? I think they should\'ve subpoena the electronic records between the shooter and the other boy just to ensure there is no digital foortprint.

Hey everyone. I've been following the tragic case of Arrien Porterfield, and I wanted to talk about something that's really bothering me regarding this situation. While the investigation is ongoing, I've noticed there's been limited media coverage about the incident.

Arriens case is quite sad because it hasn’t really received the attention that it should have gotten.

Arrests have been made as far as suspects go.

Yea sometimes the shooters chooses to stick around the crime scene. If this theory applies to this case, then the shooter may have been shocked by their own actions, and could\'ve been in a stupor.

No the hair was definitely not in a bun. No braids, no twists, no dreads, no bun, no round Jackson 5 afro. It was just hair that goes up. I don\'t even think there\'s a name for that.
