In Arizona, a man admitted to fatally stabbing a 17-year-old boy on July 4 because the teenager’s rap music made him feel “unsafe.” Twenty-seven-year-old Michael Paul Adams was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. He has previously been charged with assault, theft and drug violations, and had been released from prison just two days prior to Thursday’s deadly attack. The victim, Elijah Al-Amin, was two weeks shy of his 18th birthday and had plans to move to Seattle and work in hotel management, according to his father.
