Source: Sam Robinson / Getty The family and friends of one millionaire auto dealer made sure he went out in style when it came to his funeral. In Trinidad and Tobago, Sheron Sukhdeo , was tragically killed in a drive-by shooting outside his mother-in-law’s house. And while folks close to the victim are surely mourning his loss, they didn’t waste anytime honoring him with the glitz and glamour he loved so much. On Friday, Sheron was buried in multiple gold chains and jewelry, along with some crisp Timberland boots. POPULAR BILLIONAIRE BURIED WITH MILLIONS OF NAIRA The funeral of a well-known 33-year-old billionaire in Trinidad and Tobago has gone viral. The late Sheron Sukhdeo lived a completely luxurious and extravagant life. The young estate agent and car dealer… https://t.co/QFos1adIMQ pic.twitter.com/AkNNL4sCD4 — #bbnaija (@OloriSupergal) April 2, 2018 According to Metro , the deceased millionaire was even doused in Moët champagne…so apparently, the homies truly “poured one out” for him. This wasn’t the end to the flashy funeral. Sheron was then escorted from the funeral service to the crematorium in a $150,000 Bentley. And according to Daily Express , the Bentley hearse was led by two music trucks, while other flashy vehicles stopped along the way to do donuts in the street. When they reached the crematorium site, cars continued to do circles around a funeral pyre, while mourners poured champagne into the fire. Too much? Some folks seemed to think so. People apparently criticized The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service for failing to stop the car show. Now the department is looking more into the situation, according to Daily Express. Sheron leaves behind a wife and two children. His murder is still under investigation, as authorities believe it might be gang related.
After a truly bizarre 2017, singer/actor Tyrese has been relatively quiet this year. He’s managed to limit his social media activity and refrain from beefing with other celebs. In line with his new calmness, he decided to share that he and his wife are expecting their first child together. Baby Girl on the Way for Tyrese Gibson https://t.co/051Tc7nlOg — People (@people) April 4, 2018 For the first time in several months, Tyrese is making headlines for something positive, as it was just announced via PEOPLE and Tyrese himself, that he and his wife Samantha are expecting their first child, a daughter. This will be the second child for Tyrese, who already has a daughter, 10-year-old Shayla from his first marriage, and the first child for Samantha. Via PEOPLE : A little more than a year after their Valentine’s Day wedding, ‘Fast & Furious’ star Tyrese Gibson and his wife Samantha are expecting a baby girl, they reveal exclusively to PEOPLE. “Both of our love and energy and magic and families are bonded forever because we’re going to have this child,” Gibson, 39, raved in a joint interview with his spouse. “It’s unbelievable.” Samantha, a 29-year-old social worker, learned she was pregnant with their daughter in late January, not long after they began trying to conceive. Minutes after her positive first test — and before she could even plan out a surprise for her husband — Gibson arrived home, and they celebrated together. “It was me screaming and just being overly excited and just fired up about the news,” he says. Friends and family were equally enthusiastic. Samantha and Gibson spread the news with help from a faux movie trailer, which Tyrese narrated, that transitioned partway through into footage from Samantha’s ultrasound. “There was no greater reaction than her mom’s reaction,” Gibson says of his wife. “Samantha is her only daughter, and this has been prayers for years and years, for her to get married and find the right one and start a family.” Now in her second trimester, with their baby due in September, Samantha says she’s been in “full practicing mode” with 10-year-old stepdaughter Shayla, “[whom] I consider mine.” The report goes on to reveal that while Samantha will have the baby in Los Angeles, where they also have a home, they will raise her primarily in Atlanta where they were married. Samantha also detailed that the drama surrounding Tyrese’s behavior last year is behind them and the couple is ready to start a new chapter. “We were able to conceive at the right time, I believe,” she says. “There was a lot that happened last year — everyone is aware of that — and so to have the opportunity to … really start a new chapter in the way that has happened, I just look to God and I’m like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe that you would plan it this way and you do it so perfectly.’ “ Check out today’s Top Stories here: REPORT: Kenya Barris Considers Leaving ABC REPORT: Body Of Missing CDC Employee Found In Chattahoochee River
Source: FOX Image Collection / Getty It’s back to business as usual at Empire Records, and there’s always the proverbial snake in the grass lurking too. We start with Lucious popping awake from a bad dream about the night his car blew up, and now his Lyon senses are tingling. In other words, he suspects that Andre might have something to do with trying to kill him so he tells Thirsty to get to investigating. In other news, Eddie (Lucious’ Uncle) and Giselle (Eddie’s ex-wife) are part of Empire’s staff now. They’re exes, but they’re in deep financial trouble so of course, they’re going to try to use Empire for a come up. This is actually a good time for scheming because Empire is making money moves with their streaming service. Eddie and Giselle brought a new investor to the table and Cookie and Lucious are down with the partnership. Unfortunately, said business partner is down to steal Empire right along with Eddie and Giselle and later on in the episode, he mentions that he’s actually going to buy Empire based on the moves they made, but Eddie said he’ll deal with telling Lucious what’s up. The other part to this sneaky takeover is that Eddie has been going around planting divisive bugs in people’s ears. He lowkey convinced Jamal to drop out of the upcoming 20 for 20 Celebration, and while working with Tiana on her music, he tells her that she can’t let Hakeem distract her from her music. Later on, Hakeem proposes to her and she says she needs to think about it because she can’t have any distractions. It was that easy. via GIPHY Speaking of 20 for 20, there’s an old Empire act that they didn’t invite back. It’s one of Empire’s first acts, a girl group called “TBD” (with Tisha Campbell guest starring as the lead), and they are so salty that they’re on TV telling everyone who will listen that they got beef. They plan to release their own anniversary album, which will include a dis track that spills all the tea on Empire. But you know the Lyons ain’t having that. Cookie shows up to a TBD performance at a mall to handle her business. The group is a bunch of has-beens so they need all the money and attention they can get. Cookie offers them a deal with Empire for their anniversary album. They says they’ll be in the studio as long as they get an apology from Lucious for…whatever it is that he knows he did. You know pre-accident Lucious was trash. Later on, Lucious apologizes, but they don’t accept it because they think it’s disingenuous. They start talking about how Lucious sabotaged their last album, they feel some type of way about Cookie running things, etc—basically, they’re returning the petty and just like that, they leave because they say that have another deal on the table anyway. However, Lucious points out that it’s a smaller label with less money. Cookie is obviously annoyed when she learns it didn’t work out, but Lucious says he’s going to show her how to get it done the “Old fashion Empire way.” Uh oh. via GIPHY Surprisingly, the Empire way isn’t violent, but there are chess moves involved. Empire acquires the label TBD decided to sign too so now they’re stuck. The conditions are that they take back their dis track, apologize to Empire now, and perform at the showcase. If all goes well then they get to keep their reunion album. Finally, the episode winds down with a Lyon family dinner. It starts off innocently enough, with Cookie and Lucious telling Dre that he’s still going to be able to take the reigns of the business, not now, but down the line when he’s better. However, what is a Lyon family function without the dysfunction? via GIPHY Fast forward a bit. Dre and Lucious are alone in another room and Dre finally admits to Lucious he called the bomb. He said he tried to call it off if that’s any consolation, then hands Lucious a gun and tells him to do what he has to do. Lucious snaps and pistol whips Jamal. Think about this, Dre almost killed Cookie too. He didn’t anticipate Cookie getting in that car but that’s what happened, and we know how Lucious feels about her so that’s what that rage was really about. Luckily for Jamal, the rest of the Lyons rushed in and break it up. Hakeem and Jamal express how disappointed they are in Dre. They point out all the messed up things Lucious did to them, as well as the fact that they never tried to kill him. Cookie and Lucious are chatting at the same time in another room. Lucious says she doesn’t know what to do but he’s obviously shaken. Cookie tries to get Lucious to be positive by pointing out that Dre wasn’t in his right mind and that he’s getting back to his old self,, but then she collapses and says she can’t feel her right arm. Issa heart attack. Hopefully, we’ll find out Cookie’s fate next week.

How much is too much to allow a 2-year-old to live?” This was the question asked by Prince George County’s State Attorney Angela D. Alsobrooks (D) asked the jury in her opening statement. “Is it $200? Is it $400? Is $600 the magic number?” she said. It’s hard to believe a father would kill his child, not to mention her mother, because of child support. But on Tuesday, a jury convicted a Maryland man named Daron Boswell-Johnson on two counts of murder in the double killing. Reports say not long after Boswell-Johnson became a father he took to the Internet posting questions that related to child support in hopes that other dad’s who had gone through it could help. According to the Washington Post , in 2015 Boswell-Johnson’s posts asked, “How can I stop child support?” “How does the court know if child support is not paid?” he typed shortly after. And in January 2016, he asked, “What if I am behind on my child support?” It would only be a few weeks later that his paycheck would start seeing a $600 a month garnish. Soon after, in the early morning of Feb. 2, 2016, his daughter Chloe Davis-Green and her mother, NeShante Davis, were dead. With no gun and no DNA evidence linking Boswell-Johnson to the murder scene, prosecutors relied on his videotaped confession to detectives, cellphone records, surveillance videos and notes he wrote to his loved ones before heading to jail. “I know I failed you as a son,” he told his mother. See a short video where Boswell-Johnson is being interviewed by cop. “I’m not the monster they are making me seem to be,” he wrote to the mother of his other two children. “I was lying to them until they bring me your picture,” he told his girlfriend. The lie he refers to is when he first told officials that he was sleeping at the time in question. But then he was shown surveillance video of his SUV rolling out of his apartment complex that morning. He acquiesced, and told detectives he simply went to his daughter’s townhouse to see her off to school. WP reports eventually, after hours of denials, Boswell-Johnson confessed, prosecutors said. He woke up in the early hours of Feb. 2 and drove to Fort Washington, parking his car down the street from Davis’s home, then sat on the steps two houses away waiting for Davis to emerge for work, detectives testified, describing Boswell-Johnson’s confession. “I want to talk about child support,” Boswell-Johnson said to her, according to his recorded police interview. When she refused to talk, he pulled a gun from his waistband and fired, he said in his confession. Davis was shot in the back and Chloe suffered two gunshot wounds, with the bullets piercing her car seat, according to expert testimony at trial. The close-range gunfire was so violent, according to prosecutors, it blew Chloe out of her car seat and the beads out of her hair. “He went there to terminate his child support,” Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Ruddy said after showing jurors the bloodstained pink onesie Chloe was wearing the morning of the shooting. “Chloe was a bill . . . a bill that he wasn’t going to pay.” After the killing, Boswell-Johnson fled and went to work.
