Kamisha Richards, a 22-year-old John Jay graduate, was stabbed to death in a Brooklyn housing project Monday night during an argument over $20 she lent her boyfriend’s sister, Kayla Henriques to buy Pampers.
According to the New York Daily News: Richards, who was dating Henriques’ brother Ramel, was irate after the teen asked for $20 to buy Pampers but instead spent the cash on other items. “They had been beefing for about three days,” said Barbie, a neighbor in the Cypress Hills Houses. The once friendly pair traded Facebook insults over the weekend, with one of Kayla Henriques’ uncles saying the hard feelings were further fueled by ugly text messages. “B—h man up … I’m here make a move,” read one Facebook post from Henriques, known in the neighborhood as “KK.” In another exchange, Richards sent the following message: “Kayla now u getin outa hand … I hope u having fun entertaining the world … Trust, IMA HAVE THE LAST LAUGH!!!”Kayla Henriques offered a terse, ominous reply: “We will see.” Police found a kitchen knife at the crime scene on Sutter Avenue in East New York. Police sources said they followed a blood trail to a neighboring building where Henriques was arrested.”
Facebook is largely considered by 15-25 year old’s as a vehicle for broadcasting locally and personally, whereas Twitter is broadcasting to the world in general. In reality Facebook and Twitter are both broadcasting locally and globally, but Facebook reaches a far greater audience than Twitter and Facebook has increased their visibilty with their new commenting system release for websites similar to Disqus.
