White man freed from jail 38 hours earlier stabs and kills a black Subway worker, 17, in a convenience store because he 'heard the teen listening to rap music in his car'. Elijah Al-Amin, 17, was stabbed to death in Peoria, Arizona, on July 4. Michael Paul Adams, 27, was charged with first-degree premeditated murder. He slit the teen's throat in a convenience store after hearing him listening to rap music in his car in the parking lot earlier. He told police he felt threatened not by the teen, but by the music, and had to be 'proactive rather than reactive'. He had been released from prison just two days earlier and has many prior charges. The hashtag #JusticeforElijah is trending on social media. #facepalm
