Police believe a Marietta teen was killed at a Florida gas station for playing loud music.

Jordan Davis, 17, was gunned down at a Jacksonville gas station Friday night. A family friend told Channel 2’s Craig Lucie the teen would split time between his mother’s home in Marietta and Jacksonville with his father.

Jacksonville police said Davis was with his friends when Michael Dunn, 45, pulled up near their car. Police said Dunn got into an argument with the group about the loud music they were playing. Then, Dunn fired eight to nine shots into the car, fatally wounding Davis, police said.

Dunn's attorney, Robin Lemonidis, said one of the teens pulled a shotgun on Dunn, and he retrieved his weapon from his glove compartment before opening fire. Lemonidis said that evidence will show Dunn acted responsibly.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said no guns or drugs were found in the teens' SUV.

I can certainly understand the motivation.

Ok I admit that when people are playing loud music like that the thought might enter your mind but to actually do it. Man violence never really solves anything.

The idea of killing someone because of loud music never crossed my mind. Not even close to it.

Good to see opinions of killing OK'ed because the music was loud and you were disturbed. I mean, what kind of world do we live in, where one can be disturbed by loud noises?

Wait, someone should have shot the guy for causing a lot more noise and disruption with his gun. Stupid is as stupid does... sadly, teens were killed for no good reason.

Stricter gun laws must be had, as well as removing or totally redueing how Stand Your Ground can be used. Just because someone does something you don't like, you go pick a fight, and shoot a guy because you started to lose or felt threatened due to actions that all started and could have been prevented by you, shouldn't give you any immunity.

Pictures could paint a nicer story. Guess the kid wasn't as gangsta as he originally thought.

[+McKay]

In fairness he won't be playing loud music again.

Does not surprise me at all. I saw this on the news a few days ago, right along side the man who stabbed his gf to death because of something she posted on FB...

Stand your ground should be what its name implies.

Stand YOUR ground.

If you go out of your way to confront someone and are looking for trouble then you lose this right.
