It's a sad state of affairs when something so trivial as a mere argument over a videogame can degenerate into something much, much worse. Unfortunately, this is the case with 16-year-old Antwan Ricks, the young man dying of a single stab wound to the chest inflicted by his younger brother, 13-year-old Jahmir Ricks, in what appears to be a dispute over who gets to play next, last Sunday.

So what really happened? As it turns out, Jahmir had beaten his older brother in a videogame, and the latter refused to pass the controller to someone else - thus breaking a house rule of giving someone else a chance to play after you've lost in a match.

Things got real ugly real fast, with the dispute turning into a heated argument, then into a full-on brawl - and then into murder, as Jahmir stabbed his older brother in the chest with a steak knife.

The police were called in immediately after the incident, arriving a few minutes before 1 p.m. Jahmir was immediately apprehended, cuffed and put in the back of a police car - and it's to note that there was no struggle reported. It also seemed that Jahmir was fully aware of what he had done, saying "I just stabbed my brother," to the policemen who arrived. His brother, Antwan, was pronounced dead at the Delaware County Memorial Hospital, 20 minutes after the arrest was made, with the cause of death being a single stab wound in the chest.

Charged with first degree murder, third-degree murder, aggravated and simple assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and possession of instruments of crime - Jahmir is now being held in the county prison without bail, waiting on a pending hearing Magisterial District Judge John J. Perfetti.

Truly a very shocking incident, from a county that's relatively peaceful - as Antwan's death marks the borough's first homicide for 2007, and putting Delaware's toll to 25. Updates as we get them.


I guess you can say gamers are just getting more stupid now.

Dude, I did that once. But my brother wasn't a pussy and didn't call the cops.

This is kinda disgusting. The killer brother should probably be put down, just for evolution's sake.

What? Does the article imply that it is the game's fault? Am I missing something?

THE IRAQ WAR IS CAUSED BY VIDEY-O GAMES

That's basically the logic people use when it comes to anti stuff like this.

I wonder what the kid's reaction was to stabbing his older brother. I'm fairly certain it was just an escalation and he didn't really mean to do it. Heat of the moment kind of thing. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve what he's getting for punishment, I'm just curious as to what you feel like when you stab someone you, supposedly, love.
