  • 35-Year-Old Woman With Two Teenage Boyfriends Arrested After One Shoots The Other

    35-Year-Old Woman With Two Teenage Boyfriends Arrested After One Shoots The Other

    A Florida woman and one of her teenage boyfriends have been arrested after the pedophilic love triangle ended in a shooting, Florida Today reported.

    On Saturday, at around 10 P.M., police responded to reports of a shooting at an apartment complex in Rockledge, Florida. When officers arrived to the scene, they discovered a 15-year-old victim with gunshot wounds to the chest and legs. With him was 35-year-old Chanel Williams and her two young children. As police searched for the attacker, the teen was treated by paramedics and then airlifted to the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Women in Orlando. He is expected to fully recover from his injuries.

    Inside a bag belonging to the victim, investigators found a 9mm handgun. After the weapon was traced back to Williams, she gave a horrifying confession. The woman admitted to having sexual contact with the teen, and explained that another teen, that she had been seeing since he was a minor, was more than likely the shooter. She had given the 15-year-old the weapon for protection.

    “It is a very confusing case,” Deputy Chief Donna Seyferth explained. “We’ve got a guardian that’s not a guardian. We’ve got a 35-year-old female that has been with both our suspect and our victim, one of them being a juvenile. It has taken a lot of investigative work to get where we are.”

    After locating the suspect, 19-year-old Diante Stokes was arrested and charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm, and violation of probation. He is being held at Brevard County jail without bond.

    Chanel Williams was also arrested and has been charged with child neglect with great bodily harm, causing a child to commit an act of delinquency, unsafe storage of a firearm, and furnishing a weapon to a minor. The sexual predator is being held on a $45,000 bond, and is prohibited from having contact with anyone under the age of 18 until the trial is concluded.

  • Victims Of Double Homicide Filed For Protection Order Against Attacker Days Before Their Deaths

    Victims Of Double Homicide Filed For Protection Order Against Attacker Days Before Their Deaths


    During the early hours of March 10th, at around 1:45 A.M., police in Redmond, Washington were notified about a possible shooting. When they arrived to the house, the bodies of Zohreh Sadeghi and Mohammad Milad Naseri were discovered, Fox News reported. The body of their attacker, Houston man Ramin Khodakaramrezae, was also found inside.

    Zohreh Sadeghi worked as a podcaster from her home, 15 miles outside of Seattle, Washington.

    Khodakaramrezaei had reportedly listened to the female victim’s podcasts, and began communicating with her,” police said in a statement. “The victim and suspect became friends, but when things escalated, she filed a no-contact order against him.”

    Khodakaramrezae began emailing and texting the victim about the tech industry, building a friendship along the way. When boundaries were crossed, and Sadeghi became uncomfortable with the content of the messages sent to her, she stopped responding. He then became obsessive, and repeatedly contacted Sadeghi, once calling her over 100 times in one day. After he began showing up to conferences Sadeghi was attending, and even to their home, they contacted local law enforcement.

    On March 5th, Sadeghi and Naseri were granted a protection order against Khodakaramrezaei. Due to his job as a trucker, the suspect was difficult to locate, and the protection order against him had not been served at the time of the murder. A few days later, Khodakaramrezaei broke into their home and fatally shot them before turning the gun to himself.

    “Our hearts go out to the victim’s family and the Redmond community following this horrific tragedy,” Redmond Police Chief Darrell Lowe said in a statement. “This is an incredibly sad situation, and the worst possible outcome of a stalking case. We will continue investigating what led to this tragic loss.”

    On February 21st, a Peachtree, Georgia woman was getting ready for work when she noticed the light in her daughter’s room was on earlier than usual. When she made her way into the bedroom, despite it being locked, she noticed that a window was open and that the blinds were “a mess.” According to the New York Post, she then discovered her 15-year-old, Madison Gesswein, in her bed “bleeding from her head.”

    While on the phone with dispatch, the panicked mother begins to perform CPR, telling them that “there’s a lot of blood” and that she “can’t get any response from her.” First responders arrive to the apartment complex less than five minutes later, and sadly pronounced Madison dead at the scene.

    “A final cause of death is pending determination by the medical examiner, but an injury to Madison’s head appears consistent with a gunshot wound,” police said.

    The following day, authorities arrested three 18-year-olds in connection to the murder. All three were described as “acquaintances of the victim.” Justus Smith, Jacobean Brown, and Yeshua Mathis, all from Fayetteville, were each charged with murder. A potential motive for the crime has not been revealed.

    “This was not a random act,” explained Assistant Police Chief Matt Myers. “They knew whose apartment they were at, and it was in some way related to matters between these individuals.”

  • White Supremacists Responsible For Over 80% Of Extremism-Related Murders In 2022

    White Supremacists Responsible For Over 80% Of Extremism-Related Murders In 2022


    In 2022, violence within the United States continued at high levels. The Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that tracks shootings within the country, reported that an astonishing 647 mass shootings had taken place last year. Among these murders, were suspects with extremist-related motives. According to findings released by the ADL, the Anti-Defamation League, over 80% of these killers were linked to white supremacists.

    “All the extremist-related murders in 2022 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds,” ADL stated.

    Despite the amount of extremist-related killings in the United States decreasing since 2021, the amount of these murders resulting from white supremacy beliefs have increased. Though numerous human rights groups have voiced concerns over white supremacy in the United States in recent years, the issue of white supremacy began making headlines after former President Donald Trump hosted known white supremacist Nick Fuentes at his private club in Florida, Reuters stated.

    As individuals with ties to extreme movements and ideologies continue to kill people within the country, President Joe Biden has established an inter-agency group “to coordinate efforts to counter antisemitism, Islamophobia, and related forms of bias and discrimination,” the White House announced December 2022. Why anti-Blackness and racism against Black Americans were not specifically mentioned in the White House’s statement continues to go unaddressed.

    Police officers responded to a call about the sexual assault of a child and the fatal shooting of three teenage girls in a Houston, Texas suburb, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez of the Galena Park Police Department said in a statement.

    At around 10:30 P.M., a 12-year-old girl reported that her mother’s boyfriend had shot her sisters and a friend, then sexually assaulted her. After the rape had occurred, the man told her to run. According to KHOU 11, the child then grabbed her 1-year-old niece and ran to a neighbor’s house for help.

    When officers from Galena Park Police Department arrived to the home, they found the bodies of the three teenage girls. In another room, the 38-year-old suspect was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The mother, who was in a relationship with the child rapist and shooter, was not home at the time of the sexual assault and shooting.

    Two of victims were the 12-year-old’s sisters: 13-year-old Melany Torres and 19-year-old Sayuri Gill. Sources say that Gill, the mother of the 1-year-old that was taken to a neighbor, was expecting her second child. The third victim was a friend of the family, a 14-year-old girl whose name has not yet been released.

    “It’s just a tragic situation,” Sheriff Gonzalez said. “It makes no sense. It’s all senseless and it’s very tragic, but our investigators will try to put all the pieces together, and our condolences go out to the victim’s families and everyone impacted by this and the entire city as well.”

    Woman Arrested After Daughter Writes School Story About Mom Shooting At Dad, Reports Say

    A Tennessee woman was taken into custody after teachers reported reading their kindergartners story that detailed her parents getting into a domestic violence altercation that ended in gunshots, NY Post reported. 

    Shelby County Sheriff’s Office arrested Kaydra Johnson, 28, on Monday after receiving a call about a domestic violence dispute that ended in gunfire. A school counselor at Donelson Elementary notified Child Protective Services about the disturbing note who then notified authorities.  Johnson allegedly shot at the father of her children inside their home while their four children were present.  

    In the story, the child writes,

    “Mother and father got into a fight. Mom told him to get out because he was smoking too much. Father hit mother in the eye. Mother said look what you’ve done… Mother got the gun from under the bed. I was in the living room, and my sisters and brother were in the room. Mother pulled the gun on father and shot three times. The bullets hit the wall. Mother told him to sleep in his car in the driveway and not to come back or she will shoot him again.”

    Police arrested Johnson at her home, where they found her locked out of her residence with her 1-year-old and 4-year-old children stuck inside, they told WREG. Deputies reported multiple bullet holes in the living room, bedroom, and hallway walls. 

    Authorities say Johnson admitted to shooting at her husband at least twice after he allegedly entered the home without permission and began to attack her. Police noted that Johnson had a cut and bruising around her right eye. She was charged with four counts of reckless endangerment and has since been released from jail. She is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 23, reports state.

  • New York Man Sent Estranged Wife Cryptic Message Before Fatally Their Shooting 14-Year-Old Daughter: “This Is How It sends For Us”

    New York Man Sent Estranged Wife Cryptic Message Before Fatally Their Shooting 14-Year-Old Daughter: “This Is How It sends For Us”

    Throughout the month of January, Heather Wood received multiple harassing and threatening text messages from her estranged husband, Christopher Wood. Though she was still legally married to the 51-year-old, they were legally separated and living apart. According to People, Christopher was confronted by police for stalking, but Heather regretfully never pressed charges. Ava, their daughter and a ninth-grader at Durgee Junior High School, went back and forth between her parents’ homes.

    On January 20th, Mrs. Wood received a call from Ava’s school informing her that her daughter was reported as absent. She immediately recalled a cryptic text she received from her soon-to-be ex the night before that read, “This is how it ends for us.” Frightened, she called police to perform a welfare check, and Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office sent deputies out to Christopher Wood’s New York home.

    Inside the home, police discovered the bodies of Christopher and Ava in their rooms, each with fatal gunshot wounds. The murder weapon, a shotgun that was purchased 16 days before the murder-suicide, was found next to Christopher.

    Ava, who was an honor student and soccer player, was known for her “competitive spirit and a love for life” as well as “for the strong relationships she had with family and friends,” her obituary reads. In order to support her mother during the tragic loss of her beloved daughter, a GoFundMe that raised over $50,000 was created to pay for the funeral expenses.

    “She was kind, gentle, and had the most loving spirit, the fundraiser stated. “She loved her teammates and her friends and shared many memories on and off the field with them. She was deeply adored by her momma, and her family and she instantly stole the hearts of all those around her.”
