Tyquan Knox

Los Angeles is boiling with high school athletes that could have been and should have been success stories. The young man pictured up top, Tyquan Knox, is a perfect example of how his demise and ignorance doesn’t only affect himself, but the community that surrounds him as well:

Tyquan Knox was once a top prospect coming out of Crenshaw High around 2006. Tyquan has reportedly been thugging since socking his ex-girlfriend in the grill, during his time at Crenshaw. After colleges got wind of those allegations, his stock went into the dump. Shortly after the incident, Tyquan said “I kind of feel like I’m getting screwed,” he said in an interview with a college football fan website. “People haven’t seen the last of me,” Knox said. “I’ve got a chip on my shoulder now.” Well, Tyquan is still in the hood and still has that chip on his shoulder. Knox has since been accused of…… robbing a young couple at gunpoint, and some say, he was involved in murdering the mother of the girl/victim of who was set to testify against him in the robbery. The young lady, Khristina Henry, was a fellow classmate of Knox’s and contacted the police after she was robbed, reluctantly.

Shortly after reporting the incident, Khristina started receiving calls from the accused mugger’s mother! The mother said she didn’t think her son committed the robbery and after that Khristina started receiving threats of the “watch your back” sort. When Khristina called the police… the calls increased with text messages saying “we know you told the police, what did you tell them?” The victims’ family pleaded for more protection. Kristina’s mother, Pamela Lark, was forced to find refuge from the neighborhood they felt threatened in. The Knox family knew where the victims stayed which forced the family not to stay in the apartment usually. The night before Khristina was set to testify, they decided to stay in the apartment with Lark’s two grandchildren and grown son. The next morning when Lark went to take out the trash before the trial, she was shot and killed. The “robber” who asked for her purse and money… left the items.

We know you ignorant thugs did this. You fools are not Al Capone, so hopefully the law will have no problem deciphering your high school murder scheme. The law should also take witnesses’ pleas for help and protection more seriously. F*ck A Thug!

    Police can talk all they want about the “Stop Snitching” culture, but until they start protecting witnesses, no one will step forward. This dude should be put death.

    If your being treatened why would you stay in the area the night before your scheduled to testify? They had not been staying there before that night what or who would have convinced them to stay that night. She may have been setup bey someone she trusted.

  • drenk

    i hope his mom is proud of what shes raised…

  • Sydney™

    I thought this story looked familiar. The LA Times ran a two-part series on it last month. Sad. . .

  • Redz

    And the police wonder why people will never subscribe to their pleas to stop the “Stop Snitching” movement! If you can’t protect the innocent people who want to assist you, then you are on your own!!!

  • Ms. J

    Dayum shame.

  • Come On People

    This is real sad because obviously the boy was never taught to take responsibility for his actions. He has a chip on his shoulder because he hit someone and he made himself lose out on college prospects. It was no ones fault but his own. His mother will still go to the trail and cry and ask why did her son have to receive such a terrible punishment. Not only is he going to go down for armed robbery but no a murder charge. but to him it will never be his fault. PUNK!

  • Redbone_Darkbutt_Black_White (It’s just coochie)

    He made his choice — I hope he is punished to THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW.

  • EleKtrik EccEntriK (ban conformity)

    ugh… its too early for this.
    this dude barely heights a buck and a half. they will have fun with him in prison where he belongs. he’ll be ok though. he can hear them coming with those satellite dish ears. pu$$y.

  • Rafe

    He’s an ugly dog.

  • Bunch

    Another badly raised, no daddy in the home piece of ghetto trash. All these thugs should be exterminated so Black people can get on with their lives.

  • YorkieLover

    I’m glad that colleges are beginning to weed out the thugs and bad boys. I wish more schools would do this, and I wish the NFL and NBA would get on board too.

  • Hummm

    I have just stop feeling sorry for boyus like him. He had a choice. Oh well….next.

  • Candy

    I just read the entire story L.A. Times (googled it) this is so sad…..whats scary is the girlfriend of the killer told the cops he sent her to the victims job (daughter) to get a description of her to refresh his memory!

    Here this girl is at work and had no clue who was looking at her and why…d@mn…

    This happend in 2007, the article is date Oct, 2009 I wanna know whats happened to them since then…stupid @sses!

  • tg

    Perfect example and story of why a lot of Black people don’t help the law. The law just does not look out for black people – whether they doing the right thing or not. Maybe, you know something different, but that’s just what I’ve seen throughout my life. Even when you want to do the right thing – it comes back to bite you in your “A” when you live in certain neighborhoods. Shoot you have to start your life some where else if you testify against the right person. The police have shown us they don’t care about us – through racial profiling, jailing innocent people like it aint NO THING, etc. etc. etc. Now all of a sudden – they are your best friend. This is why people KNOW they can’t trust the police, not even to protect them.

  • Sanjor

    “Tyquan”, really?

  • LeeLee

    Once again Black folks are blaming everyone else for something that this idiot did to himself…its the same story..these crazed abusive BM abuse lie steal rob murder etc and the Black community hollers racism..this is why BM will never be real Men because they want to hide and whine when they are caught for doing terrible crimes to BW and children…this is really sad and only goesw to show why the BM is viewed in society the way he is.

  • de Sade

    I read about this about a month ago in the L.A. Times. It was a two-part article in their Column One section. This thug’s girl friend was an accomplice in this girl’s mothers’ murder. She drove Tyquan to the apartment. The sad part was, she scheduled to start a college, but she, like most black girls couldn’t resist the allure of being a gangsta’ boo, even after constant pleas from her parents to dump Tyquan. After being arrested, the cops convinced her to testify against Tyquan for a lesser sentence. She’ll probably do 7 years instead of 15 to 20.

  • it’s Me

    sad…my people let’s get it together and stop the violence

  • http:chokolatemilk@blogspot.com Choco

    How sad and stupid…Tyquan and his ugly self destructive behavior needs to be put out of his misery!

  • Gimmeabreak 78

    BTW, big up to the “baby mama/baby daddy” culture we’ve come to accept. Black people, we’re awesome.

  • COOKIE

    all i have go say is HOOD RATS, every black man who have gotten out of the ghetto because of sports is still a HOOD RAT

  • Lawd da mercy

    Tyquan & them are so disrepectful toward common decentcy and life. I pity the fool.

  • ALPHA1906

  • http://bossip minah

    ANYONE WHO DOESNT KNOW TYQUAN KNOX AND THE SPECIFICS OF THIS CASE NEEDS TO SHUT THE HELL UP AND KEEP THEIR BIAS OPINIONS TO THEMSELVES THIS ARTICLE IS TRASH AND IS WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO OBVIOUSLY KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT GOING ON. THE LA TIMES ARTICLE IS ANOTHER BIAS ARTICLE THAT TELLS HALF THE TRUTH.. ALL THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW SOMETHING THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT… INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUITLY!!! T.C.K IS GOIN COME OUT ON TOP !

  • http://bossip minah

    PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE COMMENTS WHEN HIS TRIAL IS OVER AND THE SPECIFICS ARE RELEASED !!! IM SURE COMMENTS WOULD BE ALOT DIFFERENT !

  • yolander sermon

    Come on, who is he trying to fool. He is, and always was a low life thug. Talking bout how he now got a chip on his shoulder. This world don’t owe him sh*t. He never had Sh*t going for him anyway, because of his sick *ss mentality. F**cking slime *ss getto virus!!! THESE ARE THE ANIMAL THAT WE NEED TO SEND TO THE WARS ABROAD.

  • trust no one

    Here is the thing if you state the article is full of non factual information, then why not enlightening us , with the facts .

  • Katrina

    To the people who are saying Tyquan is innocent. That has got to be a joke. His girlfriend the idiot Keeairra Dashiell has already agreed to testify against his worthless self. She has already been serving a 2 1/2 year sentenced. Anyone who sticks up for this person shouldnt even be allowed to breathe. He took someone’s life and its okay? The girlfriend and him need to be sentenced to death. You are probbaly family memebers of his. Think if someone killed your mother how would you feel. He stole the girls phone and money and he mad because she gon testify. Yea anyone in their right mind would. I pray for Kristina’s family and have no prayers for the knox family. They all can go to hell for all I care. His own mother threatened Kristina. She is worthless too.

  • JusticeforQuan

    Here’s the thing….Katrina and all the haters… You are 100% correct everyone wants justice in this matter. You don’t know what really happened. I don’t know what really happened. I do know that the case cannot be tried in the media or on this blog site.
    It is fruitless to respond to comments of ignorance.

  • Professor X

    “justice for Quan” would be shooting him in the head… how many things can he fail at before he gets the memo.

  • http://bossip minah

    LMAO.. THE IGNORANCE.. ENLIGHTEN YOURSELF WIT THE FACTS SINCE YOU SEEM TO KNOWN THEM ALREADY.. COURT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. GO SEE FOR YOURSELF!!

  • trust no one

    lol@ minah – your post are as useless as this story, apparently you aren’t here to defend him as you haven’t said one thing to discredit the story. I guess all the news ran about him is lying.

  • Redbone_Darkbutt_Black_White (It’s just coochie)

    Hate to be sterotypical but “Tyquan” hardly sounds like a damn name that you expect to see on a business card, on an office door, or in the business yellow pages ten years down the road.

    What is it with these damn made-up names?

  • dia

    so it was his girlfriend that “started” his problem yet he didnt kill her just some girls mother?? WAT?? tyquan?? hes mother outta be slapped and be thrown off the face of the earth and that HESHE comment were my thoughts exactly

  • scooby dubious

    There should be a Negro Renaming Act. So “Tyquans” could get a second chance as “Elliotts” or “Tylers.” Maybe names with some innate dignity would restrain some of these atavistic attitudes in black neighborhoods, with their DeShauns and Raheems and, god help us, Plaxicos.

  • rothschild

    @Team Tyquan sp??

    Please take your illiterate selves somewhere and have a sit down.

    Thanks

  • yolander sermon

    It is such a disgrace, that you have fine, dedicated young men sacrificing their lives by going off to fight terrorism on foreign soil just to protect our home land, and yet these savages/thugs that remain here are allowed to run rampant and commit horrendous crimes.I ask you, who are the real f**cking terrorist?

  • shawcity2007

    all the people defending this that say they kno him kno he was wrong I knew him too and he did alotta stuff i didnt agree with

    you may be trying to be loyal to yo friend but yall need to keep it real if you really know TK then you know the phone robbing is him to a T i dont wanna think he murdered that woman but the people that he was surrounded by was capable of that and that were very influential to what he use to do

    Yall people need to realize this dude had so many chances he was arrested for breaking in entery on the night that we won the championship with 2 more players at that time he still had a scholly with Oregon and the other 2 had schollys to lower division schools and they messed that up with the robbery Tyquan had 3 chances to go 2 school on a free ride from Arizona to Oregon to Fresno State and he messed all of them up

    this dude was an A-hole to the whole school to the exception of the dudes who had more juice than him and the females that he was seeing

    I have witnessed this dude get in2 with a teacher, staff, or student every week that of that year at Crenshaw

    College was too complicated for him even if he wouldve went i couldnt see him lasting he was like a future Maurice Clarett

  • WASTHERETOO

    I knew Tyquon very well during his 4 years at Crenshaw and there is no doubt that he did this crime, along with the many others that I personally know of. He was tolerated at Crenshaw (despite his being a slob) because of his football status and how he was protected by the coach and admin. Lets see if the justice system really works…

  • http://harrismark41@yahoo.com john jackson

    pitiful,waste of time on the earth whats kills me is why these thugs are scared two face there own demons.

  • Myles Thompson

    Even though there are a lot of valid points in this article, everybody needs to relax. He did wrong, but everybody deserves a second chance in life no matter what. God forgives, so let man forgive. Allow his life to continue. No man is useless, he was guided in the wrong direction in life.

  • justice for Pam

    GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY. The verdict came in yesterday. Justice prevails! @ co. You ask the question how do we know that he asked for the purse during the murder. Well. Believe it or not this coward killed the defenseless mother & grandmother less than 3 feet in front of her grandchildren who were only 2 & 17 @ the time. The Lark family has had to deal with the death of their family member & the cocky defendant for over 3 years. Maybe now they can mourn her properly.

  • Auntie is restin in peace thank you

    Yes this day has came were he got his sentence nd got lyfe meaning he is guilty nd is never getting out they say when u do wrong u have to live up for ur mistakes and u then rAn into the wrong person…i hope ur time in prison is very thoughtful…with out parole equals not coming home…
