    17-Year-Old Girl Fatally Stabbed In Broad Daylight By 15-Year-Old Girl Over Alleged Social Media Feud, Teen Charged

    In a tragic incident that occurred in broad daylight, a 15-year-old rival allegedly carried out a stabbing, resulting in the unfortunate death of a 17-year-old girl from the Bronx. The victim, Emery Mizell, was stabbed in the chest and sadly, declared deceased. The 15-year-old suspect was apprehended and charged with murder, manslaughter, and weapon possession. Due to her age, the suspect’s name has not been disclosed, according to the New York Post

    Emery’s loved ones are devastated by her tragic and senseless killing. They gathered outside her apartment building on Evergreen Avenue for a heartfelt memorial to honor her memory.

    The victim’s 13-year-old sister Gianna told The Post,

    “She was there for me when no one was there all the time. She gave me advice all the time when I needed it.” 

    The victim’s family speaks

    The authorities informed Emery’s family that the 15-year-old suspect attended the same high school as her, but they were unsure about their relationship. Police stated that Emery and her alleged killer had an ongoing conflict. Before the attack, it is alleged that the victim experienced online harassment. Emery’s second cousin, Latanya Mizell, talked about her unawareness of the social media bullying but pointed out that it would contribute to the tragedy, if true.

    Latanya said,

    “These are kids, both of them. They both lost their lives. That right there is hurtful enough as a whole because we got to be better with our kids.” 

    Emery, who would have celebrated her 18th birthday in October, was only a month away from graduating and eagerly waiting for her senior prom, per her family.

    18-Year-Old Warned Her Best Friend To Slow Down Before Fatal High-Speed Car Crash That Killed Her

    According to authorities and reports, a tragic high-speed crash occurred in Michigan, where a 19-year-old named Ella Vece was driving at an excessive speed and her best friend Nevaeh Downs, 18, cautioned her to slow down. The vehicle swerved off the road and hit a tree, resulting in serious injuries for Vece and sadly, the death of Downs, per the New York Post

    Christopher R. Becker, a Kent County Prosecutor, informed The Post,

    “It’s kids doing stupid things… And it ended in a tragedy.”

    According to the prosecutor, a video from the scene caught Nevaeh Downs cautioning Ella Vece about an oncoming car.

    Nevaeh Downs, described as a thoughtful and caring individual, was a recent high school graduate. A scholarship fund in her name has been set up at Grand Rapids Community College. Ella Vece, charged with reckless driving causing death, pleaded to a lesser offense. Vece faces a possible prison sentence of up to one year if convicted.

    Although Downs’ family saw Vece as a relative, the prosecutor believed it was necessary to hold her responsible in some manner. As part of her plea agreement, Vece had her license suspended for a year.

  • Mother Strip-Searched and Jailed For 15 Hours After Failing To Show ID To Officer At Her Home, Woman Files Lawsuit

    Mother Strip-Searched and Jailed For 15 Hours After Failing To Show ID To Officer At Her Home, Woman Files Lawsuit

    Per an Alabama lawsuit, a woman, Twyla Stallworth, and her son have filed a complaint against an officer and the city for violating their constitutional rights. The woman was reportedly wrongfully apprehended, strip-searched, and detained for 15 hours after declining to show her ID at her own residence, reports the Miami Herald

    On Feb. 23, the woman contacted officials to complain about noise. She then activated her own car alarm to get her neighbor’s attention. When Officer Grant Barton arrived, he asked for her ID, but she declined.

    Stallworth’s son captured a video showing Officer Barton entering their home, pushing Stallworth onto the couch, and handcuffing her while her son opposed. The lawsuit claims excessive force was used and that the officer physically assaulted her son while entering. As Barton escorted Stallworth out of the home, her son questioned the reason for her arrest on camera.

    To which the officer said,

    “Right now she’s under arrest for failure to identify…That is not the law, that’s against the law.” 

    When Stallworth’s son inquired about the specific law, the officer used his phone to display Alabama code section 15-5-30, which permits officers to stop individuals in public and request their “name, address, and an explanation of their actions” if they believe the person is breaking the law. 

    Upon arrival at Covington County Jail, the woman experienced a

    “humiliating mugshot and degrading strip search.”

    She was imprisoned for over 15 hours until she could pay a bond. The charges against her included obstruction, eluding, and resisting arrest. Stallworth sought legal representation. 

    Stallworth was correct in stating that she did not need to show her ID, as confirmed by the mentioned code. The mayor of Andalusia admitted the mistake and apologized in a video two weeks later. Mayor Earl Johnson acknowledged that Barton was disciplined for not being aware of the law. The charges against Stallworth were dismissed.

  • 14-Year-Old Boy Fatally Stabbed At Mall Defending His Girlfriend Against Two Teen Who Were Following Them

    14-Year-Old Boy Fatally Stabbed At Mall Defending His Girlfriend Against Two Teen Who Were Following Them

    A 14-year-old boy, Robert Dean Maher, from Wyoming lost his life while attempting to protect his girlfriend from a pair of teenagers at a mall. The incident took place at Eastridge Mall in Casper. According to the Daily Mail, the boy was stabbed twice in the stomach with a kitchen knife that was stolen. 

    The suspects are facing charges as adults, including felonious conspiracy to commit murder, felonious aggravated assault and battery, and misdemeanor theft. Officials were alerted to the situation when they received a call about an unconscious boy outside the mall.  

    According to an affidavit, Maher was stabbed twice during the altercation. Witnesses reported a shocking encounter involving individuals known as ‘JJ’ and Dom’, who were wearing masks. Reports noted that their names are Dominique Antonio Richard Harris and Jarreth Joseflee Sabastian Plunkett. Maher and a friend went to the mall to protect Maher’s girlfriend and her friend who were being followed by two teens. Maher confronted the teens and a physical fight broke out outside the mall. 

    According to Maher’s friend, Dom forcefully pushed Maher to the ground and then JJ approached and stabbed him.

    Maher’s friend admitted not knowing the attackers’ last names but mentioned they all attended Dean Middle School. Police interviews revealed a past incident at a park where Maher allegedly called the suspects

    “freaks”

    after seeing them enter a portable toilet together. 

    Plunkett later asked one of Maher’s friends if they wanted to settle Maher’s “blood debt,” reports say. The suspects also confessed to stealing kitchen knives from Target prior to the fatal confrontation. Casper police obtained a video showing Plunkett chasing and screaming at Maher outside the entrance of the mall. 

    According to the affidavit,

    “Jarreth also told (Maher) to swing on him several times; however, (Maher) clearly did not want to fight.” 

    Maher attempted to enter the mall but faced difficulty due to a large group of other young people gathering around, preventing his entry.
