Fashion Fracas Leaves Two Dead
"MIAMI, FL — A community came together for a candle light vigil Monday night to remember teenage brothers killed in an apparent murder/suicide.
"Family says Steven Odeus, 14, shot and killed his brother Stanley Blanc, 16, then turned the gun on himself. According to relatives, the boys were fighting over clothing.
"Officials said the shooting occurred just after 11 p.m. near on NE 71st Street and 2nd Avenue in Little Haiti.
"`It started off as a small petty argument over clothes that escalated into a fight,` said Marc Blanc, the victims’ brother.
"`Stanley wanted to wear Steven’s clothes, Steven didn’t want him to,` said Kedner Louis, a family friend.
"The argument, according to Blanc, began inside the family’s apartment at the New Haven Gardens public housing complex. He said family members separated the two, but the fight flared-up again outside.
"`Right before my eyes my brother just shot my other brother,` said 18-year-old Mark Blanc who says he witnessed the shooting. `I heard my second brother die because he shot himself,` said Blanc.
"After Odeus shot his brother, Blanc said he ran across the apartment complex and took his own life in the parking lot."
