An Ohio father is sharing his pain after the family dog killed his infant daughter. Kameron Turner posted on Facebook, “I’d give my life to bring my baby back,” just a day after the tragic death of his seven-month-old daughter, Elizah, according to PEOPLE. 

The deadly incident took place on the morning of April 9 at a house in Columbus. Body camera footage from the Columbus Police Department shows a man greeting the officer and describing how a dog attacked a baby at the home earlier that day.

The man told the officer that he had trapped one dog in a black car and mentioned that two others are on the property. The body camera footage shows officers arriving at the scene shortly after 11:30 a.m. Elizah Turner was sadly declared deceased at 11:43 a.m., according to the coroner’s office. 

A spokesperson confirmed that a parent initially took the baby to a local fire station, then to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, where Dr. Jennifer Melvin declared the infant, Elizah, dead.

Almost two years after his daughter went missing, a Florida father has been charged with her murder. On March 11, the Tallahassee Police Department announced that 36-year-old Andrew Wiley was arrested for second-degree murder related to the death of his 12-year-old daughter, Lori Paige, per PEOPLE. 

The announcement followed a thorough 22-month investigation into the pre-teen’s disappearance. Officials stated that Wiley reported his daughter missing back on June 3, 2023. He claimed that Lori left home with her backpack overnight while he was working.

On April 5, her remains were located in a remote, brushy area of Thomas County, Georgia, after digital evidence pointed investigators there. Earlier searches in 2024 produced no results until a burn cleared the brush. In March 2024, inconsistencies in Wiley’s statements made him a suspect in the case and “new information about his relationship with Lori” came about. 

The Tallahassee Police Department noted that they started to notice inconsistencies in Wiley’s story while following “hundreds of leads across state lines” during the summer of 2023 and into early 2024. 

Lawrence Revell, TPD Chief said, “I told you two years ago we would never give up. I told you two years ago we would find Lori and we would bring her home.” 

“I told you two years ago that we would find who did this and we would arrest them and bring them to justice. And today, I stand before you to tell you we have done just that,” he continued. 

“Lori deserved a safe home and a full life. While today’s arrest will never bring her back, it does bring us one step closer to justice,” said the Chief.

A vice principal in Florida was apprehended for making a 13-year-old student rub her feet, claiming it would help him for his future girlfriend. 53-year-old Dr. Keiva Lark was disciplining the boy for misbehavior when the incident occurred in her office at Lake Marion Creek Middle School. According to the New York Post, the woman allegedly position her feet on his lap and instructed him to rub her feet “since he didn’t have anything better to do with his hands.”

The woman was heard criticizing the boy for not rubbing her feet correctly and demonstrating her desired massage technique by touching his arm and shoulder, officials said. 

Witnesses reported that Lark told the boy to “rub her feet like he loved her” and claimed it was to teach him about foreplay. She later admitted to a co-worker that she had “crossed the line.” The principal later informed officials, who began an investigation. Reports also mentioned that she reportedly nicknamed the student “sexy chocolate.” The victim told officials that she called him the name while passing him in the hallway. 

Grady Judd, Polk County Sheriff, said, “Dr. Lark initially told detectives that this was only a joke, and that she was just trying to humble the victim. It’s completely inappropriate for a 53-year old woman to act and talk like this to a middle school boy. It’s even worse given that this was an assistant principal and her student.” 

During an interview with officials, Lark admitted she acted inappropriately; however, denied making any indecent comments to the boy. She faces charges of lewd conduct and has been placed on administrative leave.

Prosecutors claim Marlon Rabanales-Pretzantzin, a 20-year-old illegal immigrant, fatally beat his 2-month-old because she refused to stop crying. He pleaded not guilty in court. The baby, Liseyda, suffered multiple injuries, including broken ribs and severe hemorrhaging, during the incident on March 7 while he was alone with his children, per the New York Post. Anne Donnelly, the Nassau County DA, told reporters, “In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore.”

Rabanales-Pretzantzin reportedly slapped his crying daughter in the face several times, punched her in the stomach, and shook her violently. He then threw her onto the bed, pressing his fists into her body, which ultimately led to her demise. He later took her to a neighbor, who contacted first responders.

Officials were informed that Liseyda choked on formula; however, Rabanales-Pretzantzin later changed his story, claiming he fell asleep with her and she fell from the bed. Officials presented evidence, leading him to confess. An autopsy showed Liseyda had healing rib fractures, indicating prior abuse, according to the DA.

Rabanales-Pretzantzin’s other child, a 14-month-old present during the incident, showed no signs of abuse and is now with their mother. Prosecutor Donnelly mentioned that he is an illegal immigrant from #Guatemala. Rabanales-Pretzantzin is held without bail and will appear in court on May 6.

30-year-old Brianna J. Rivers was apprehended by the NYPD for assaulting pro-life activist Savannah Craven Antao during a viral street interview about abortion. She faces one count of second-degree assault for the attack, which was captured on camera. Craven Antao celebrated the news on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the arrest, writing, “Just got word from detectives Brianna J Rivers was arrested! God is good!” 

The alleged attacker was apprehended Thursday morning for an assault during a filmed interview in Harlem. 23-year-old Antao asked Rivers about abortion, leading to a back and forth between the two. 

Rivers told Craven Antao during the on-camera interview, “You don’t understand the magnitude of having a child.” 

“I’m not the one who admitted they would be OK with killing babies in foster care and killing children that have been abused,” Craven Antao said replying to Rivers as she referred back to a statement Rivers made in the beginning of the interview. 

“That’s not the point. What I’m saying is….,” Rivers said before attacking the interviewer. 

Craven Antao had two cuts that bled heavily on her face and chest, needing several stitches. Rivers later claimed on social media that she was provoked into attacking the activist.

Rivers created a GoFundMe page to raise money for a defense attorney, so far she’s raised over $8,000. Court records indicate she was scheduled for arraignment Thursday afternoon.
