FL High school football star shot dead by friend over video game dispute
A Florida football player was shot dead by a longtime friend this week during a spat over a video game, according to a new report.
Joshua Ancrum, 17, was killed inside his pal’s Miami Gardens home Tuesday afternoon when the gaming dispute between the teens got heated, WPLG Local 10 reported. He was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where he was pronounced dead.
“What mother wants to bury their son?” the boy’s distraught mom, Lisa Alvarez, told the station. “It’s supposed to be the other way around.”
Jatwan Phillips, 16, was arrested in connection with the slaying, according to the report. He appeared in court Wednesday and has been charged with aggravated manslaughter, though it’s unclear if he will be charged as an adult.
It was not immediately known which game sparked the fatal squabble.
A judge ordered Phillips to remain in jail on Wednesday, according to the report.
Ancrum’s teammates in the South Florida Express 7on7 Football Team considered him a brother.
“He might have grown up in a bad neighborhood and he had a lot of bad influences and stuff like that, but when he came with us, it was, kind of, you try to lead him in the right direction,” teammate Derek Wingo told the station.
The young athlete had received a football scholarship to Florida International University.
“We are saddened at the news of Joshua’s passing,” the school’s head coach, Butch Davis, said in a statement obtained by the station. “We at FIU will be praying for his family, friends and teammates in these trying times.”
Ancrum had always dreamed of going even further with his football career, but his dreams have been shattered, his mother told the outlet.
“Stop the violence,” she insisted.
The teen’s teammates launched a GoFundMe page to help raise money for his funeral expenses. It had reached $4,372 of its $10,000 goal by late Thursday morning.

Gamer’s alleged rape of teen girl overheard on PlayStation
A video game player faces rape charges after he was reportedly overheard through his PlayStation console forcing a teen girl to have sex, police said.
Daniel Enrique Fabian, 18, was charged Wednesday with lewd and lascivious battery in connection to an incident earlier this year at his New Port Richey, Florida, home, news station WFTS reported.
Police said Fabian was playing “Grand Theft Auto” against another gamer online in June when he said he planned to “smash” a girl who was over his house.
The other player said Fabian left his gaming microphone on and he could hear the 15-year-old victim refusing his advances.
The girl reportedly told Fabian “no” four times, but he continued to have sex with her, according to an arrest affidavit.
About 15 minutes later, Fabian resumed the game with the other player, police said.
The victim told officers that she was sitting on Fabian’s bed when he covered her mouth with his hand and pushed her down to rape her. The girl completed a rape kit, which linked Fabian to the alleged crime through DNA testing, news station WFLA reported.
