Wednesday morning feel good story
Chief Tango sends us a link to the final chapter of Mustafa Sheffield’s story which ended on the floor of the Top Dollar, a cash for gold store in Newark, NJ, after his nine year incarceration in East Jersey State Prison. Apparently Mustafa, who was turning his life around, entered the store and tried to help them reduce their inventory when the store’s owner fired his gun at young Mustafa;
Sheffield threatened to shoot several of the owner’s relatives and ordered the man to fill a backpack with money and gold around 3:30 p.m., Murray said.
During the course of the robbery, the store owner pulled out a weapon from behind the counter and shot Sheffield once, Newark Police Director Samuel DeMaio said. Sheffield died a short time later at University Hospital in Newark.
Criminal charges have not been filed against the store owner, whose identity was withheld, but Murray said the matter will likely be presented to a grand jury. Two law enforcement sources told The Star-Ledger today the weapon the store owner used was a legal, registered firearm.
So businesses in Newark are marginally safer today with Mustafa’s passing.

A man who owns a jewelry store in Newark… a brave brave man. Sucks that it’s going to a grand jury, I hope it works out alright for him.
“the matter will likely be presented to a grand jury.” Why put the store owner through that?
Ah, yes! It’s always nice to start my day with a big smile on my face!
“Sheffield died a short time later at University Hospital in Newark.”
Nice shooting. One less perp to terrorize the innocent.
@2 No kidding, piece of sh1t total f#cking loser tries to continue his career of crime. Escalating this time to threats of violence against the victim and his family. This is not the work of anyone we need walking around in society on a daily basis.
This victim removed a cancer from the system, that should be the end of it in a decent society.
F#ck you Mustafa Sheffield, you absolutely received the reward for the Karma you’ve been sowing all of your wasted life. I hope you burn in hell for all eternity as a warning to others who seek to emulate your wretched and worthless existence.
The store owner’s in a state with a governor who can’t make up his mind which way the wind blows, unless it’s in his own direction. Hmmm…
What was the necessity for putting this in front of a grand jury? If the store owner wasn’t charged with anything and was defending himself and his business, why is the state wasting taxpayers’ money on this inquisition?
I guess the 9 years of incarceration filled with job training, counseling, anger management studies and all sorts of self esteem raising classes didn’t work for him…
For shame. it is obvious they need more counseling sessions as we all know that people won’t do things like that if you ask them nicely to leave… Nancy Pelosi told us that it will work and I believe everything she says !!!
It’s obvious we need send more money to the prisons for more counseling programs so this poor soul feels better about himself instead of being run into the ground by the oppressive white male infested society !!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!
Yeah right !!!
Another one bites the dust. Beautiful.
If this had been in Texas, the shop owner would still have gone through a grand jury process as well. Don’t know about Jersey works, but in Texas, its a formality similiar in nature to a coroners inquest to determine if there is any wrong doing on his behalf involved. He’ll most likely get a “no bill”, meaning no charges are going to be filed and not have to go through the criminal court process. I think.
@7 I would be in favor of feeding them less, and making them skinny and weak during their stay in the penitentiary. That way when they get out they are not all jacked up from a high protein diet and hours long daily workout sessions learning how to be a better, more violent predator….
Nothing chills me more than the phrase “legal, REGISTERED, firearm”.
Well Mustafa Sheffield, there you went again. I guess that prison system reform program didn’t work out very well. Someone else here on TAH has my favorite comment, “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”!
@11 It sounds all official and such. I’m sure if you cornered the journalist and asked “WHAT registration?” you’d get that glaze-eyed, stupid look.
