Issaiah Clachar, just 17, used to tell his mother he’d go far in life, and well beyond his family apartment on Jasmine Crescent.

But, in the end, he was killed just steps from his building after stealing a lousy bag of weed.

Clachar was knifed eight times — four to the chest, two to the back, one to his left forearm and another to his right thigh — hours after he stole another man’s weed on Sept. 20, 2015. He justified the drug robbery to friends, saying teen dealer Keanu Croteau had short-changed him in the past and once sold him crummy weed.

It was Croteau’s girlfriend who delivered the weed — just over five ounces — to Clachar, with him refusing to pay and telling her to scram. “Whatever happens, it’s on you,” she said as she left.

Croteau, then 18, and Mohamad Hamade, then 25, pulled into Jasmine Crescent in a black Acura, looking for a settling of accounts. It was young Clachar who reached for his pellet gun from inside his gold Nissan before the confrontation spiralled.
