White man fatally shoots black teen, calls him ‘trash’: cops

Police in West Virginia have accused a 62-year-old white man of killing a black 15-year-old after they bumped into each other and exchanged words, and a federal official says the case is under review as a possible federal hate crime.

 A complaint signed by Charleston Police Detective C.C. Lioi says William Pulliam, confessed, showed no remorse and told police,
“The way I look at it, that’s another piece of trash off the street.” Lioi’s statement says Pulliam left the scene after the shooting to go have dinner and then visit a friend.

A revolver was found at the friend’s house. Police haven’t identified the victim, but his mother, Nafia Adkins, told the Charleston Gazette-Mail it was her son, James Means.
