Grandfather Of Teen Killed During Burglary Says AR-15 Made Fight âUnfairâ
Three Oklahoma teens were killed after breaking into a house and being greeted by the homeownerâs son and an AR-15. After their untimely demise, one suspectâs grandfather spoke out about the circumstances surrounding his grandsonâs death.
Leroy Schumacher, the grandfather of a slain Oklahoma burglar, decided to speak out after his 17-year-old grandsonâs death. Jacob Redfearn, who had previously been in foster care, was one of three Oklahoma teens killed when they broke into a house and came face to face with the homeownerâs son, who was armed with an AR-15. And, Leroy had a pretty strong opinion about what went down that day.
According to Leroy Schumacher, even though his grandson was in the middle of a burglary when he was killed, his death was unjustified, Tulsaâs ABC 8 reported. The grieving grandfather acknowledged that breaking into a house was âstupid,â but he said that the AR-15 gave the homeownerâs son an âunfairâ advantage over the three burglars and that death wasnât the appropriate consequence for the teens.
âWhat these three boys did was stupid,â Schumacher admitted. âThey knew they could be punished for it, but they did not deserve to die,â he continued. âBrass knuckles against an AR-15? Câmon. Who was afraid for their life?â
Authorities didnât agree with Schumacherâs sentiments, however, and Zach Peters was not charged with any crimes because police say he acted in self-defense. Schumacher was not convinced that the shooting was justified, though, and reiterated his belief that the consequences didnât fit the crime. âThereâs got to be a limit to that law, I mean he shot all three of them â there was no need for that,â he said.

Rodriguez later went to the police, admitted her involvement, and told investigators that she had planned the whole thing. She was arrested and charged with first- and second-degree burglary, as well as three counts of first-degree murder since Oklahoma state law says someone can be charged with murder if another person takes the life of a human being during their commission of a felony, CNN reported.
