'I just killed a kid'
Neighbor charged with shooting teen who walked on his grass

BATAVIA, Ohio (AP) -- A man who neighbors say was devoted to his meticulously kept lawn was charged with murder in the shooting of a 15-year-old boy who apparently walked across his yard.

Charles Martin called 911 on Sunday afternoon, saying calmly: "I just killed a kid."

Police, who released the call's contents, said Martin also told the dispatcher: "I've been harassed by him and his parents for five years. Today just blew it up." (Watch for the 911 call from the accused shooter -- 1:46)

Larry Mugrage, whose family lived next door, was shot in the chest with a shotgun. The high school freshman was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Martin, 66, allegedly told police he had several times had problems with neighbors walking on his lawn. He remained jailed without bond Monday. His jailers said no attorney was listed for him.

Neighbors said Martin lived alone quietly, often sitting in front of his one-story home with its neat lawn, well-trimmed shrubbery and flag pole with U.S. and Navy flags flying.

Joanne Ritchie, 46, said Mugrage was known as "a good kid." She said she always also considered Martin to be friendly.

Union Township is near Batavia, about 20 miles east of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Mr. Martin should have just hired some gang kids to beat the crap out of the 15 year old punk.

Or, he could have installed some landmines in his yard?

Or, maybe some bear traps?

They should allow nature to take its course with his house, and parole him in 5 years to see the results.

As long as you're aware that most "old geezers" are better armed and quite capable of returning fire.

Yeah..so he did the right thing by killing him. You wanna talk about teens, like your supposed to be an older, mature person, and you make a post basically saying the kid deserved to be killed for walking on his grass? Dumbass

Wow.

I just try to be friendly with the few kids around here and so far I haven't had any problems with them. I think you probably catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

It's really a shame that some parents don't raise their kids to have more respect for others.

It's also a shame some older folks can't have a little more control over their anger. Hollering, yelling, calling the police, whatever is a far different thing than killing someone. He probably should have considered a different way to deal with the punk neighbor.

Or at least been a little more sneaky about it.

No, these are OLD geezers that escaped from the home and are lost. I don't think anyone would miss them.
