Nevada man murdered his 14-year-old son because he could not accept the teen's sexuality, the boy's former foster mother told local NBC affiliate KSNV in Las Vegas.
Police in Henderson, Nevada, where the murder took place last Thursday, said 53-year-old Wendell Melton shot his son, Giovanni Melton, in the apartment where the teenager lived alone.....
Sonja Jones, the teen's former foster mother, told KSNV the boy was "abused physically and mentally and spiritually for many, many years" and said she believes he was killed because of his sexual orientation.
"He hated the fact that his son was ? ," Jones said of Melton. "I'm sure that inside of his mind, he would rather have a dead son than a ? son."
Jones added that it was her understanding that Melton had caught Giovanni "with his boyfriend before and pulled out a gun on him."
The Henderson Police Department declined to provide additional information regarding the circumstances surrounding the shooting due to it being "an active investigation." It was not clear whether Wendell Melton had obtained a defense lawyer, The Associated Press said.
Jaime Grant, executive director of PFLAG National, an LGBTQ family and ally organization, said Giovanni's death is part of broader societal issue.
"We have a crisis of masculinity in this country — it's obvious across the board in this report and in the unrelenting reports on sexual assault and also gun violence," Grant said in a statement provided to NBC News. "Many 'normative' messages men learn as they are growing up about stuffing their feelings, policing other men's gender and sexuality, asserting 'dominance' from the board room to the bedroom, also show up in their lives as fathers."
Penny Mardaway, Mike Epps lookin ass dude...

Was the kid biologically his or was he a foster parent?

I'd guess the kid was his to bring about that type of anger - if it's what really happened. -

Some of the articles posted social media pics from his son's account and let's just say that ? would've been a problem for me, as his father too, let alone to have that ? going on in my house and around me.
Wouldn't have killed him of course, but would've been some serious problems. Keepin it a buck, ? trying to be PC, ? would not have been ok with me. -

Article said the kid lived alone tho. And since he was in foster care seemed like his dad ain't have a right to have a say in what his son was doing...since he wasn't raising him. -
