    Father Shot His Three Sons During Dispute Over a Car, Then Allegedly Threatened to Kill Them After Being Arrested, Police Say

    A Florida man is in custody after he reportedly fired shots at his own sons during a dispute over a family car, according to Law & Crime.

    Christopher Lee Brown, 36, was arrested on Sunday after police reported that he shot his three juvenile sons. Local Fox affiliate WTVT obtained court documents stating that Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of a shooting around 11:15 a.m. on Sunday in Brown’s Ruskin neighborhood. Upon arrival, deputies discovered Brown’s three sons suffering from gunshot wounds.

    All three boys were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and have since survived. According to the reports, detectives investigating the incident revealed that the confrontation originated from a dispute over a car. Police stated that Brown confronted his sons about the issue, leading to an argument that escalated into the alleged shooting of all three boys.

    WTVT reported that Brown allegedly struck one of the boys in the head with the gun, causing it to discharge and sending a bullet across the boy’s jawline, hitting his earlobe. As Brown fled to his car, the other two boys pursued him. The documents indicate that Brown then allegedly fired multiple shots at the other two boys.

    Court documents revealed that one of the boys played investigators a recording from their father where he stated,

    “I tried to take your life”

    and

    “You won’t make it to Wednesday.”

    Brown now faces a several felony charges, including three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of attempted first-degree murder with a firearm, three counts of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm or using a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, discharging a firearm in a public or residential area, two counts of burglary of an occupied dwelling, resisting an officer without violence, and criminal mischief involving damages between $200 and $1,000.

  • Father Sentenced To 13 Years In Prison For Attempted Murder After He Injected Mercury In 1-Year-Old Daughter’s Foot, Reports Say

    Father Sentenced To 13 Years In Prison For Attempted Murder After He Injected Mercury In 1-Year-Old Daughter’s Foot, Reports Say

    A German court has handed down a 13-year prison sentence to a 30-year-old man who injected mercury into his one-year-old daughter’s foot, reports AP News. The man’s girlfriend, who participated in the crime, received a 12-year prison sentence. 

    The motive was to get revenge against the child’s mother, who had left him shortly after their daughter’s birth, reports reveal. The father and his girlfriend were aware that the poison would not result in immediate death but aimed to cause severe pain to the toddler, according to the indictment.

    Following the injection, the daughter developed a severe infection in her foot and experienced a rash across her body. The presence of mercury in her system was discovered accidentally during a third surgery related to the poisoning, DPA reported.

    Initially, both the father and his 34-year-old girlfriend denied the charges in court. However, shortly before the trial concluded, the couple confessed to injecting the mercury into the girl’s left foot and right ankle in July of the previous year. The source of the liquid mercury used in the crime remains unclear.

  • Father Arrested For Allegedly Strangling Daughter and Hiring Homeless Man To Set Her Body On Fire In Southeastern Brazil

    Father Arrested For Allegedly Strangling Daughter and Hiring Homeless Man To Set Her Body On Fire In Southeastern Brazil

    Surveillance footage captured a man pushing a cart containing his 18-year-old daughter’s lifeless body. Wellington da Silva, 39, was apprehended on Wednesday after confessing to the murder of Raysa da Silva at his home in São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. The tragic event occurred on Sunday, according to the São Paulo Civil Police per the Daily Mail

    The surveillance camera outside the apartment captured Wellington struggling with the cart before pushing it into the elevator. The motive behind the crime, as revealed by State Department of Homicide and Personal Protection chief Ivalda Aleixo, stemmed from an argument between the father and daughter regarding their separation months ago. The disagreement escalated when Raysa expressed her support for her mother, leading Wellington to allegedly strangle her.

    Disturbingly, Wellington admitted to falling asleep with Raysa’s lifeless body in the apartment before disposing of it on Monday evening. It is alleged that he approached a homeless man and offered him

    “[$2] to set a fire,”

    purchasing fuel from a nearby gas station.

    The authorities have arrested Wellington da Silva, and an investigation into this horrific crime is underway. He faces charges of feminicide, body destruction, and concealment. Authorities initiated a search for a homeless man and have been reviewing security camera footage in the area to support Wellington da Silva’s statements.

    Raysa da Silva’s mother filed a missing person report at the local police station on Monday. The next morning, pedestrians noticed a burnt body under a damaged section of road pavement and immediately alerted the police.

  • Father Battles For Custody Of Daughter After Mother Claims Child Died At Birth and Secretly Put Baby Up For Adoption

    Father Battles For Custody Of Daughter After Mother Claims Child Died At Birth and Secretly Put Baby Up For Adoption

    A father in Florida is engaged in a custody battle for his daughter, who he was initially told had died at birth by the child’s mother. However, he later discovered that the baby had been put up for adoption without his knowledge, Daily Mail reports. 

    Brandon Marteliz, has been engaged in a custody battle since discovering that his daughter, Amiya, was alive and well. 

    In Florida, a judge ruled in October that Marteliz’s consent for adoption wasn’t required, as he hadn’t supported the baby. The appeal time has lapsed, and 2-year-old Amiya stays with her adoptive parents.

    Marteliz said the day of his daughter’s birth he received a text message from the mother, informing him that their child had died from sudden infant death syndrome. He reportedly lost contact with the mother for around three weeks. Marteliz was mentioned as a

    “man who may have interest in the minor child”

    in the legal filings, but he soon discovered that his daughter was under the care of the Heart of Adoptions, a private agency in Florida. 

    Because Marteliz and the mother were not married, his parental rights were not required at the time of the adoption. He was not listed on the baby’s birth certificate, and he had not registered as a putative father, which would have given him legal rights as an unmarried father.

    In the same month that his daughter was born, Marteliz registered and filed a petition to establish paternity for his child.

    “I am willing to do whatever it takes to be given custody of my daughter and be in her life. I am willing to pay whatever form or support or cost it takes,”

    he told the outlet.  

    In May 2021, it was stated by Marteliz during the court proceedings that he had not been informed about the mother’s adoption decision.

    He also denied the claim that he did not provide financial support during the pregnancy.

    “There’s a lot of fathers out there that are being robbed, that are good dads, that would — that are great dads. Something needs to be done about this.”

  • Father Accused Of Shooting 10-Year-Old Son In Front Of Family Home On Thanksgiving Day

    Father Accused Of Shooting 10-Year-Old Son In Front Of Family Home On Thanksgiving Day

    Nebraska father arrested for allegedly shooting and killing his 10-year-old son on Thanksgiving Day, Law & Crime reported. 

    Police responded to a call about a shooting outside their family home, where Kendrick McDonald was found with a gunshot wound and later pronounced dead. Will McDonald, the boy’s father, was taken into custody and charged with criminal homicide, use of a weapon gun, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.

    According to the Omaha World-Herald, investigators suspect that McDonald may have fatally shot his son due to a mistaken belief that an intruder was attempting to steal his car. Evidence at the scene supports this theory. Responding officers were informed that the car alarm had been activated shortly before the shooting occurred.

    Omaha Police Capt. Jeremy Christensen told the newspaper,

    “We do know that there was allegedly a car alarm going off, and for whatever reason, the suspect/father went outside to maybe investigate that. We’re not 100% on that, but we are receiving information that a car alarm was going off. As to exactly what transpired and the why of it, we’re still trying to piece that together through our investigation.”

    According to reports, the police were unable to verify if Kendrick’s mother was present at the time of his death. However, authorities confirmed that there were other children present during the incident. When investigators were asked about their belief regarding McDonald mistaking his son for a car thief, Christensen said detectives were

    “still trying to figure out the ins and outs of that through the investigation.”

    “At this point in time, it doesn’t appear that he was justified in firing,”

    Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine told the World-Herald. 

    Investigators found a handgun at the scene of the shooting, which is believed to have been used in the incident. According to court records reviewed by Law&Crime, McDonald was prohibited from having a firearm due to being a convicted felon. He had served five years in prison for a robbery conviction.

    A 28-year-old Indiana father has been arrested for the murder of his 1-year-old daughter, Law&Crime reported. 

    Damian Milton was taken into custody on Monday after an examination revealed severe injuries to his daughter, Amaya Milton. She had torn ligaments in her neck and a swollen brain due to lack of oxygen, doctors said. Milton has been charged with battery resulting in the death of a person under 14, a level 1 felony.

    Milton called 911 on July 31, reporting his daughter’s difficulty breathing. Doctors at the Riley Hospital for Children quickly realized her injuries were life-threatening and contacted the police. Amaya was admitted to the intensive care unit with severe brain swelling and neck ligament injuries. She also had visible scratches on her face, reports reveal. 

    Amaya’s mother was reportedly at her workplace on the day when her daughter suffered the fatal injuries, according to the outlet. 

    During questioning, Milton initially claimed Amaya had fallen and hit her head on the carpet. However, in a second interview, he admitted to being

    “mildly aggressive”

    with her at times. He confessed that he had forcefully pulled her by the arm, giving her a bear hug with her face pressed into his chest while squeezing her neck.

    Amaya tragically succumbed to her injuries on August 6 after spending six days in the ICU. The hospital’s Child Protection Team determined that her injuries were likely caused by violent shaking. Milton is currently in custody on an $80,000 bond, awaiting formal charges. The exact cause of Amaya’s death has not been disclosed by authorities.
