Stupidest reason for a murder in the last year:

Killed for Bamm-Bamm bling

Police have made an arrest in a 2008 jewelry theft-homicide but are still looking for the stolen bling that apparently cost a San Francisco man his life.

Richard Barrett, 29, had just left the Hustler Club in North Beach early Nov. 25 when two men spotted the diamond-encrusted figure Barrett wore on a white gold chain
.
It was Barrett’s prized jewelry, depicting the club-wielding cartoon baby Bamm-Bamm from “The Flintstones.”

“We know he was targeted because of the medallion he was wearing,” said the investigator in the case, Inspector Robert Lynch.

“The pendant was highly visible,” Lynch said. “He was grabbed, thrown against the wall, and one of the suspects grabbed onto the pendant.”

The man yanked the medallion from around Barrett’s neck. Barrett tried to run away, but one of the robbers shot him in the back.
