I read an article in the Sunday paper about a homicide in one of my
city's more notorious areas; two young black males killed as they stood
out on the sidewalk talking. One of the victims was 21 years old; he is
survived by 4 sons, 3 daughters, AND a pregnant wife. Plus, it was noted
that he was unemployed.
21 years old and 7-1/2 kids??? Just how old WAS this guy when he got
started fathering young'uns??? And unemployed to boot? This guy should
have been selling his spooge to the local sperm bank; at least then he'd
have had an income!!

Slain father left 16 kids at age 21

When a gunman's bullet ended the life of 21-year-old George McHeard III in a
Pratt City apartment complex parking lot April 3, his four children living
in Ensley were left fatherless.
So were his two children in Bessemer.
And so were his two children in Maytown.
In all, McHeard, left behind at least 16 children by at least nine different
women, said his mother, Audrey Williams.
Now those women are grappling with providing for their children in the
absence of a father. "I didn't plan for him to leave," said LaDrea Campbell,
a 21-year-old who had 8-month-old LaShundrea with McHeard.
Mrs. Williams said Tuesday her son began siring children shortly after he
turned 14. She said she begged several of his girlfriends not to conceive
children with her son, but those pleas went largely unheeded. "I asked them
not to have babies for my son," she said.
She said McHeard purchased milk, clothing and diapers for all his kids.
"He loved his children and took care of them," she said. "He bought them
whatever they needed."
Mrs. Williams said her son made his living selling cars out of their
one-story home in Ensley Highlands. She said the family business has neither
a name or a lot.
McHeard, nicknamed "Punchie" by his mother, loved to drive fancy cars and
motorcycles, Mrs. Williams said. He loved them so much that his funeral
program devoted a full page to pictures of his luxury rides. Two of his
children are named Mercedes and Infiniti.
McHeard died in a Chevrolet Impala in the parking lot of Saint Charles Villa
apartments in the 100 block of Pratt Highway. A masked gunman walked up to
the car at 5:45 p.m. and fired at least three point-blank shots, police have
said.
Detectives are continuing to search for clues in the killing.
During the week leading up to his death, Mrs. Williams said her son was
unusually quiet. "He just wasn't saying anything," she said. "It was like he
knew his time was up."
His death was only the beginning of chaos.
A brawl erupted during McHeard's funeral Saturday afternoon between the aunt
of one of his children's mothers and his mother's family. Three of the
children's mothers were involved in the fight, witnesses said. Mrs. Williams
said an obituary mix-up sparked the fight.
After officers secured the scene, only McHeard's mother's and father's
families were allowed to remain at the funeral. No one was arrested, said
Sgt. Daphne Horton.
And left to cope are nine mothers.
"It's going to take some time for me to dwell on what I'm going to do now
that my baby's father is gone," Ms. Campbell said. "I'm taking care of her
to the best of my ability."
