A St. Louis thug who attempted to rob a pizza delivery driver will never have to worry about deciding between pepperoni and sausage again.
A 41-year-old man was just trying to make ends meet delivering up piping-hot pies when he was attacked by two black thugs who thought that they had sprung their trap on an easy mark.
Much to the dismay of the dynamic duo, the pizza guy was also a man who believed in the Second Amendment and after being attacked and pistol-whipped, grabbed his own gun and returned fire.
It turned out to be the last robbery of 17-year-old Lavon Courtney Jr.’s budding criminal career as he was served up a nice helping of piping-hot lead as the nightly special washed down with the punk’s own foul blood.

Via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch “Pizza delivery driver kills robber who attacked him in St. Louis”:
A pizza delivery man shot and killed a robber who attacked him late Thursday in south St. Louis, police say.
The dead man was identified as Lavon Courtney Jr., 17, of the 5300 block of Grant Street. He was shot about 10:20 p.m. Thursday in the 4600 block of South Spring Avenue.
Police Officer Michelle Woodling said police believed the shooting was justified. Therefore, the death of the robber does not count toward the city’s total homicides.
The city stands at 191 homicides for the year, Woodling said. The totals exclude homicides ruled justified, such as cases of self-defense, and fatal police shootings.
Police say the pizza deliverer is a man, 41, who was trying to deliver food on Spring when he was robbed by two men. One of the robbers struck the delivery man in the head with a firearm.
The victim tried to run back to his car, and the robber fired shots at him. The delivery man wasn’t hit.
The delivery man had his own handgun, police say, and he fired shots at the robber. He then drove back to the pizza shop and called police.
The delivery man’s only injury was a cut to his head after being struck with the robber’s handgun.
Police say they found the dead robber near Spring and Taft avenues. The second robber apparently ran off. Police have no description of the second robber.
While the police originally only found the fresh cadaver, the good news is that the other thug has also now been apprehended.

24-year-old Montel Contrell Smith was charged with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery. In Missouri it’s an automatic murder charge when an accomplice dies during the commission of a crime, it is still murder even if shot by the intended victim. Smith was given a bail amount $500,000, cash only.
Now unless the homeys can scrounge up some serious coin, it looks like two scumbags are off the streets of St. Louis.
