Anti-gun activist shot after declaring a "No Shoot Zone"

Tyree Moorehead should have declared it a "No Shoot Me Zone." A former gangbanger, ex-con who allegedly shot 20 people when he was a mere kid, was shot on the mean streets of Baltimore, just around the corner from his home, in spite of the fact that he spray painted "No Shoot Zone" on someone else's property.

Moorehead, who goes by the name "Yo Tyree," told WJZ-TV, "I was shot three times. Bullet went through my jaw and my neck and one is still in my back.” 

The interview with reporters took place after he checked himself out of the hospital AMA [against medical advice]. He was still wearing hospital scrubs and hairnet and still had a hep-lock IV on his hand that told the world that he isn't the brightest light in the drawer.

He admitted to Fox reporters that he "just walked out" of the hospital and wasn't actually discharged.

Yo Tyree told WJZ-TV reporters that he guesses he shot about 20 dudes when he was 13 to 15 years old. But his shooting people career came to an end when he was 15 when he was engaged in a shootout with Baltimore Police. He was captured and spend the next 18 years in prison after confessing to attempted murder.

Now the 46-year-old told reporters that he believes his background as a fine young scumcrumpet gives him street creds with his fellow gang shooters, but they shot him anyway.

He also described a recent incident in May in which over 60 rounds were fired on Rose Street, wounding three people and killing one, which is why gangsters who hold their gun sideways like in the movies, shoot like crap.

“I actually heard every shot and when I came around here, it was still smoking,” he said. Months later, Moorehead was shot on the very same street, in spite of the enormous rapport he has with the gang members.

His activism can be described as unorthodox and rather idiotic. He says that places where shootings have occurred are "sacred" spaces. [They sure as hell aren't safe spaces.] He believes that if he spray paints someone else's property "no shoot zones," this will ensure that no further killing will happen there.

He also suggested that a solution would be to pay murderers to stop killing people, a belief that only a total fool would harbor. [But he means well, and that's all that matters, except to the victims' families.]

“I can relate to the shooters, guess what they want? They want money,” he told WBFF.

“See, I go straight to the shooters. That’s who my rapport is with. My rapport is with the shooters,” Moorehead said to WJZ. “I can look them in the eyes and say, ‘Homie, I was shooting, too.’ But, what I didn’t have was a me back then.

“So the idea is to say No Shoot Zone and the shooters listen,” Moorehead claimed. He explained the exceptions to his rule: “Gang member against gang member? Drug dealer against drug dealer? There’s not much I can do. That’s why there’s a lot of shootings I don’t put zones up for.”

And sometimes they shoot him, sometimes they don't. Imagine if he didn't have rapport with them.
