The game of chance - gambling has always been accompanied by risks, that more often than not lead to problems. And for those who decide to take chances, their only wish is to hit the jackpot. But of course not every gambler's wish come true. And for the two teeners from Montgomery, Alabama who took chances all turned out worse than expected.

Stringer fired back and one bullet fired from his gun hit Seawright in the side. The wound made him retreat to his apartment where he was found dead a few hours later.
Cook likewise said that the case will be handed over to a grand jury who will study, discuss and delibrate on its merits. Ater the delibration they will decide whether or not charges will be filed against Stringer for killing Seawright.
The police meanwhile found out that this was not the first time the two teenage boys figured in an argument. According to some witness, the two had a fight the night before the shooting. The reason of the fight however, was not known.
