SAN ANTONIO – A woman died after a purse snatching at a San Antonio gas station Monday.

San Antonio police said Vanessa Pitts was pumping gas at an Exxon in the 7000 block of New Hwy 90 around 1 p.m. on Monday, when a man snatched her purse from her car.

Pitts, who is active duty Air Force, decided to chase after the suspect who was trying to get away in a pickup truck, police said. She grabbed onto the truck’s luggage rack, but the suspect kept on going.

About a quarter of a mile down the road (with Pitts still holding on) police said the suspect ran into the back of another car, throwing Pitts from the vehicle.

The suspect fled the scene.

Pitts was taken to Wilford Hall, where she later died.

Police said the suspect’s vehicle is a black Toyota pick-up (Tundra or Tacoma), with damage to the front of the driver’s side.

Detectives were looking through surveillance video for any clues to who the driver might be.

SAN ANTONIO -- Police arrested a man late Thursday afternoon who is suspected of killing a woman while stealing her purse.

Lorenzo Leroy Thompson was charged with capital murder.

Police said he took Vanessa Pitts' purse out of her car while she was getting gas on Monday.

Pitts, a local airman, chased after Thompson and grabbed onto his car and was then dragged several hundred feet before she lost her grip.

She died at a hospital.

Gosh, that's very sad :(

So glad they caught him. At least it happened in a state where THUGS are sentenced to die. Some states are afraid to give harsh penalties to thugs (Texas is not).
 
if a white guy did that to a sow,he,d never get away.
there could be a welfare check, and food stamps, and no nigger is going to give that up without a fight.

Family Of Suspected Purse Snatcher Pleads For Mercy

Lorenzo Thompson Charged In Fatal Purse Snatching

SAN ANTONIO -- A relative of the man now charged with capital murder in a purse snatching death near Lackland Air Force Base is pleading for mercy.

Police arrested Lorenzo Thompson, 21, Thursday in connection with the incident that killed 25-year-old Airman, Vanessa Pitts.

According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Thompson snatched Pitts' purse as she was pumping gas at an Exxon station near Highway 90 and West Military Drive Monday.

Pitts grabbed onto the getaway car as it sped away, fell and hit her head on the ground, the affidavit said.

She died later at Wilford Hall Medical Center.

Police said they tracked down Thompson after talking to witnesses at the scene, including a homeless woman who told officers he offered her $2 to help him with the purse snatching.

In the affidavit, the woman said Thompson asked her to distract Pitts so he could steal her purse.

But the woman said she took the money and walked away.

The affidavit also said investigators talked to a woman whom Thompson visited right after the incident.

That woman, who identified herself as Thompson's stepmother, said she's convinced that what happened is an accident.

"Lorenzo was probably just trying to get a few dollars so he can survive," the woman said. "He didn't mean to do that. He didn't mean to kill nobody."

The woman, who asked not to be identified, said her stepson recently had fallen on hard times.

She said he had a falling out with his family which left him homeless and probably desperate.

"I don't think for one minute that if that child would've had a stable job and a stable home, that this would've ever took place," she said.

While Thompson's stepmother said she sympathizes with the victim's family, she's also asking for sympathy for her own.

"It was an accident what happened to this lady," she said, "and I'd like for everyone to not judge him so harshly."

The excuse of every nigger.
 
His step-mother needs to shut the hell up! DUH, we know he did not "intend" to kill her BUT HE DID! Well, he caused her to die! I hope he gets the death penalty and they should also arrest his stupid step-mother for making those unfounded assertions!
 
Guys, read the some of the comments on the newslink I just posted before they get removed. Seems some people are still racially aware.

I have to be honest, not much shocks me after reporting on TNB for about a year now. But I felt physically sick posting that new development.

PBG, he won't get the death penalty. I almost guarantee it. It's one of those complicated cases where he really can claim the "I di'int meanz to kill dat ho" defense.

This case just makes me sick with rage.
 
The only things missing in this story are:

A shot of him in his prom tuxedo

A shot of him wearing glasses, though we will see that in trial.

His mammy, or other fambly member, talking about how he was an aspiring cRap artist or the next NBA star.

While Thompson's stepmother said she sympathizes with the victim's family, she's also asking for sympathy for her own.

How typical. The victims in these cases are quickly forgotten as the jew lawyers and famblys pull out a race card, or something similar, to make the murdering nigger the victim. "It don't bees his fault. He a good boy". The Eve Carson murder case is taking the same course.
 
The excuse of every nigger.

I agree with you here. It seems like some black people ALWAYS make up stupid excuses when their loved ones commit murders. My ex-boyfriend is in jail for murder and as much as I miss him, I have NEVER made any excuses nor have I tried to defend him. Of course a person would miss their relative but I think relatives should have some compassion for the VICTIM'S relatives. If I don't agree with you on anything else I definitely agree with you here. Black people and their funky excuses!

You're right about him escaping capital punishment but I'm sure he'll get a life sentence. Texas is a state where this is not tolerated. Congress should enact a law on THUG violence and sentence thugs to die, even when "they didn't mean to kill"

I checked that link and posted my opinion and look at what some ghetto black hoodrat said to me:

cyncbenet wtf you talking about...I know she's dead but she risk her life trying to save her purse...which it might be ok in your eyes....she didn't knew what he might have had on him...wtf you would have done the same thing....and first of all im not trying to justify for nobody...if i wanted to kill someone i would have did instead of wasting my time trying to get a homeless lady to help get her away from the car....that's why i said accident ...it looked like he try to get away not kill....and trust me i know he's not going to get death...he might hurt his self...although i don't care what he get, he may have life..
 
Here's my response to that stupid little black girl. I'm sure they'll delete it from that site but here it is:
Kiki, It's people like YOU who cause society to frown on black people. None of this would have happened if he hadn't snatched her damn purse! HE IS THE RESPONSIBLE PERSON, HE CAUSED HER TO LOSE HER LIFE! Dumbazz ignorant black folks like YOU can defend him all day, but at the end of it all, HE IS STILL A FRIGGIN KILLER. Black neighborhoods are polluted and trashy because they churn STUPID people like you, who blame the victim when azzholes snatch purses! When girls get raped by black men, blacks respond by saying "she shouldn't have been there" or "she shouldn't have worn that short skirt"...NO B!TCH, THE BLACK PERP SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE WHAT HE DID! PERIOD!

Let me ask you this, had this man been white and she been black, would you still defend him and blame her for her death?

Well, these are true words.

Blacks just won't take responsibility for themselves and their neighborhoods. Their White excuse makers are the funniest. They act as if crime is something that just floats into black neighborhoods. They ignore the fact that it is the people who live in the hood that commit the crimes.

Black people and their funky excuses!

There is no reason for murder, although someone posted a report on black homicides that showed that the overwhelming majority of the murders were committed by other blacks and usually were due to disagreements. To Whites, it is an insane proposition to shoot someone over an argument.

I couldn't agree more. It seems that blacks will always some how blame the VICTIM! In fact, one black lady blamed Jonbenet Ramsey for her death saying "she shouldn't have taken her hot azz downstairs". I was soooooooooooo shocked I couldn't even move my lips to respond! How the hell can a person blame JONBENET RAMSEY for her brutal murder????

However; I will argue that not ALL blacks think the same. As you can see, I have a totally different opinion from that stupid black girl...And I am black as well.
 


Airman's killer gets life sentence, without parole​

It took jurors less than 30 minutes Friday to reject the death penalty for capital murder convict Lorenzo Thompson, who instead will serve life in prison without parole for the bizarre killing two years ago of an Air Force basic training graduate he had just mugged.


“You had many chances to save my daughter's life,” Charles Pitts told Thompson in a victim impact statement that followed the sentencing decision. “You have no sympathy for my daughter at all. Do you even care?”
Defendants usually are barred from responding to victim impact statements but Thompson did, speaking aloud for the first time since declaring himself not guilty at the start of testimony earlier this week.

“I do care,” he said of Vanessa Marie Pitts, who was 25 when she died on a U.S. 90 access road in April 2010, down the street from a West Side gas station where her purse was taken. “It was an accident, and I believe the only reason I got convicted was because she was in the Air Force. I am sorry.”

Quietly, Charles Pitts responded, “I don't believe you.”
Thompson, 23, was arrested days after the incident and told police repeatedly he never intended to kill Vanessa Pitts, who jumped on the outside of his stolen truck at the gas station.

Witnesses said he then peeled out of the gas station with Pitts still hanging on and screaming.
She was ejected from the side of the vehicle after Thompson hit another truck — an act prosecutors, and ultimately jurors, believed was intentional.
“It's not the type of crime you'd see planned out where someone takes a pistol into a 7-11 and shoots the clerk,” defense attorney Michael Gross said Friday morning during the punishment phase of the trial. “It's just not a death penalty case.”

QUEUE THE VIOLINS
Gross also pointed repeatedly to his client's “miserable” upbringing in Louisiana, where he said Thompson dealt with an absent biological father and an abusive stepfather who chased his mother around with a knife when angry and once sold the boy's Christmas presents.



He called it “incredible” that no family members stopped Thompson at age 12 from stealing things so he could help pay the utility bills.
“No one comes in and sits behind Lorenzo” in court, Gross pointed out. “Lorenzo never had any positive structure in his life.”

To have sentenced Thompson to death, 10 or more jurors would have had to determine that he would be a continuing threat to society — in this case, “society” being the prison population, since the only other option was life without parole.
If jurors found he was a threat, then they would have needed to decide if his background, character or circumstances of the offense mitigated imposition of the death sentence.


Jurors never got to the second question in their 25 minutes of deliberation. They found he wouldn't be a continuing threat.

In his closing argument, prosecutor David Lunan made it clear he felt otherwise — pointing to Thompson's escape from a juvenile facility in Louisiana at age 16, his alleged threat of a fellow inmate in Bexar County Jail and a fight he got into a one month after being incarcerated to await trial for the capital murder charge.

“Prison, like the jail, is a powder keg and we need people who are not going to stir things up,” Lunan said. “I heard no evidence of good character about this man. You would think if there was anything positive about this person you would have heard it.”
The trial marked the fourth failed attempt in a row to obtain the death penalty in Bexar County. The last death sentence handed down here was in 2009.


However, jury selection is now under way for another death penalty trial — that of James Davis Morrison, alleged to have killed his ex-girlfriend's mother, sister and unborn child.

Outside the courtroom Friday, Charles Pitts and his wife, Maria, said they bear no grudge against the jury for making a hard decision.
“I personally don't think I would have given him life,” he told reporters as Thompson was escorted out of 290th state District Court surrounded by deputies. “That was my only daughter. I will never, ever get to replace her.”
