**marcosMN** · 09-05-2006, 06:51 PM

Police and community leaders on Tuesday asked for anyone with information about the killing of a teenager over a sports jersey to help identify the shooter and his companions.

The 16-year-old, who hasn't been identified, was shot and killed in north Minneapolis Saturday night after he and his brother were confronted by a group of young men who demanded the jerseys the brothers were wearing, police said.

Tarvaris Jackson jerseys are bullet-proof.

Exactly, that's why I knew it wasn't a Tarvaris jersey.
You can run faster than a bullet if you're wearing that jersey too, so the bulletproofness is just a selling point.
