This young lady pictured above, according to Livesteez, was killed in another idiot students murder suicide:

A mentally disturbed Anthony Powell shot and killed a classmate, Asia McGowen, before turning the gun on himself in a classroom at Detroit’s Henry Ford Community College on Good Friday….…The bodies and a sawed-off shotgun were found in a empty classroom. Police do not believe anyone was in the room at the time of the shooting.  Initially the local authorities were dispatched over a reported assault and shortly after shots were fired, reports The Detroit News. Lieutenant  William Leavens of the Dearborn Police Department was one of the first officers to arrive at the scene in the Grant McKenzie Fine Arts building.  He was just 30 feet away from the classroom when he heard the final shot that killed Powell.

“We were going as quickly as we could, but by that time it was too late for her,” Leavens said. “He had done what he was going to do before anybody had a chance to respond.” According to the Associated Press, Henry Ford’s vice president, Marjorie Swan confirmed the 17,000 students of the commuter school were alerted through e-mail and text messages and the campus was locked down. “Nothing like this has ever occurred on campus,” Swan said. Christian Plonka, 12, who attends a theater program in the building, said he heard “one gunshot, and I saw someone getting pulled back into the room they were in.” McGowen and Powell were in the same theater course earlier that day and had taken part in a play together but the relationship between them is still unclear. “There is no evidence of a dating relationship,” Leavens said.

Powell, 28, was locally notorious and often criticized for his posted videos on YouTube that degraded black women and religious groups. Powell’s parents said their son was mentally ill and suffered through bouts of deep depression and tried to get him help. Asia’s father, Turahn McGowan, said his daughter was “beautiful, an aspiring actress and dancer” who was planning to audition for the Fox television competition “So You Think You Can Dance.” McGowan’s funeral has been scheduled for April 17 while funeral arrangements for Powell have not been disclosed.
“Our hearts go out to the family and the friends of the young woman who lost her life today,” Swan said.

F*ck Anthony Powell. His stupidity will be forgotten soon enough, f*cking weirdo.

    SO SAD!!! How do you TRY to get help…every major city have free mental clinics..I THOUGHT. Too many mental patients are going off of their meds and losing their minds. It’s so sad.

    It was a community college so people of any age past 18 could easily be at the school…

    This is truly sad. It is already bad enough in Detroit, and here was a young woman going to school to pursue her dream, and still couldn’t escape this awful end. Prayers are needed here, not vindictiveness.

  • Lady Next Door

    I bewail things like this. I pray God blesses the families with peace.

    And….with 5 dots–

    I noticed the exact same thing. April seems to be the highest month for this type of tragedy.

    I’m telling you guys; we’re losing too many of our youth.

    Too many.

  • Pookie

    That was my friend. We are so heartbroken here. Asia RIP I love you honey…

    Keep it CUTE or put it on MUTE!

    Thats what she used to say…

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals!!!™

    @ Pookie–

    I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you can find the courage and strength to see you through this.

    Dead is a road that each and everyone of us will one day have to cross and yet–it doesn’t ease our sorrows, especially when a life is taken so young!

  • 1TruDiva w/the PlatinumVocals!!!™. Rest in Peace–Ms. Asia McGowen

    First of all this was a very sad story. Secondly, this did not happen in Detroit. This took place in Dearborn Heights (a suburd about 30 minutes outside of Detroit). I live in Detroit and I get sick and tired of Detroit being blamed for everything that happens in the state of Michigan. This had nothing to do with Detroit. This man had mental problems that his parents were aware of but kept silent. If anyone is to blame it is his PARENTS!!!!

  • ShayLyn

    :( R.I.P.

  • BOSSIP=HATERS!!

    this guy was 28.so it’s not really the parents fault.he is well over grown.anyways i hate it when people off other people before offing themselves.why can’t they just off themselves and leave other innocent people out of it??rip to the victim.

  • Lyard Llavots

    Damn, that’s really heartbreaking.

  • Sickofitt!!

  • @ Loving Life

    my heart goes out to the families and friends of both the young womand and man. i pray that while there souls rest they find peace with the lord.. this is a real sad story. the sad part is this happens every where. young people losing there lives from some one else misery or wrong doing. god called her home for a reason though. at least we know that he was saying her purpose on earth was completed and that he wants his angel home.

    It has everything to do with Detroit, since Anthony, the killer, lived in Detroit.

    A lot of people are going in tough on the young man, but people, what we have to remember is that this young man was MENTALLY ILL! It was not his fault that he was this way. Until you have dealt with a family member or friend with this then you should not judge. My heart goes out to the VICTIMS and their families for this horrific crime.
