R.I.P: Arkansas State Football Player Markel Owens And His Stepfather Killed In Home Robbery

Our condolences. Markel Owens And His Stepfather Killed In Home Robbery People really don’t give a fawk. According to NY Daily News: An Arkansas State football player and his stepfather were shot to death during a home invasion robbery in Jackson, Tenn., with the athlete apparently trying to protect his parents from their attackers, police said Thursday. Markel Owens, a 21-year-old junior defensive lineman for the Red Wolves, was fatally shot along with Johnny Shivers, 36, during the robbery at a duplex on Wednesday night. Shivers died at the scene, while Owens was pronounced dead after being taken to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital. “I think you can conclude that he was protecting his mother and stepfather,” Jackson police spokesman Tyreece Miller said of Owens. Jerry Scott, the school’s sports information director, called it a sad day for the Red Wolves. “We’re deeply saddened and our utmost sympathies go out to his family, teammates and classmates,” Arkansas State athletic director Terry Mohajir said in a statement. “Please join me in prayer for so many people who are being impacted by the loss of Markel.” Investigators say they believe Shivers was specifically targeted and police also discovered a large amount of m*r*ju*na inside the apartment. While the motive remains under investigation, police believe the robbers knew that drugs, money or both were in the apartment. This young man had such a bright future. This is a huge loss for his family and his sport. Facebook

R.I.P: Brother And Sister Suffocate After Locking Themselves In Trunk While Playing

So sad. Siblings Suffocate After Locking Themselves In Trunk Their death could have been prevented with proper supervision. According to Boston Globe: Dawn Powers carried a bouquet of flowers in her hands today when she walked up to the Chestnut Street home where two young siblings died Sunday when they locked themselves inside a hope chest. Powers said her daughter was a frequent playmate of 8-year-old Lexi Munroe, who was killed, along with her brother, Sean, 7, in what authorities believe was a stunning, tragic accident. “Two of the nicest kids,’’ said Powers, who said she was emotionally drained by the sudden loss of two children from her neighborhood. “It’s just devastating.’’ Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey said the children were found inside a chest made by Lane Furniture of Virginia and that the chest was in a child’s bedroom in the split-entry home. “It has some type of locking mechanism that did not have the ability to be unlocked from the inside,’’ said Morrissey, adding the family were not the original buyers of the chest. “It was bought used.’’ Lane Furniture recalled 12 million chests in 1996 with lids that automatically latched shut when closed. The poor parents are probably blaming themselves for not getting rid of that recalled trunk. Prayers go out to them. Shutterstock

Jesus Take The Wheel: 4-Year-Old Boy Found Dead In Bathtub Covered With Cigarette Burns

This is so sad. Boy Dies Covered In Cigarette Burns This little boy had his whole life ahead of him. According to NY Daily News: A 4-year-old boy died after being found unconscious in the care of a baby-sitter in a Hell’s Kitchen apartment Wednesday — and his body was marked by cigarette burns and defensive wounds, police sources said. Police found Myles Dobson unresponsive when they arrived at the apartment in the Ritz Plaza, a luxury doorman building on W. 48th St., near Eighth Ave., following a 911 call at 10:50 a.m., police said. The boy was pronounced dead at St. Luke’s Hospital. The baby-sitter, a 37-year-old woman, was interviewed by detectives for several hours, the sources said. She said she heard a noise, ran back into the bathroom, and found the boy in the tub, unconscious, the sources said. There was no water in the tub, sources said. Investigators had questions about the woman’s story, because the child’s skin was pocked with burns that were consistent with being poked with a lit cigarette, and his body had wounds that appeared to have been sustained while he tried to defend himself, sources said. His body was also bruised, the sources said. “It looks like we’re going to charge her,” a police source told the Daily News, cautioning that a decision had not been made because the investigation had just begun. “It’s too early.” Her story smells fishy. Prayers go out to his family. Facebook

Jesus Take The Wheel: Teen Kills His Father And 2-Year-Old Sister Because He Was Abused

It’s sad when your own family murks you. Teen Kills Sister and Father He needs his azz whooped and thrown underneath the jail. According to NY Daily News: A Louisiana teen admitted to murdering his 2-year-old half-sister and father, police said. Jacob Middleton Jr., 17, of Metairie, was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of first degree murder. During questioning, Middleton Jr. admitted to killing Jacob Middleton Sr., 35, and Makayla Middleton, 2, according to St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain’s office. “He indicated that his actions were the result of, among other things, his hatred of his father for what he claimed was years of abuse and family violence,” the office said in a release. The accused killer is being held without bail, the Sheriff’s Office said. The baby’s mother, Kellie Smith, reportedly found the dead bodies with bullet wounds to their heads in a Covington area subdivision about 10 a.m. Monday, local media report. Middleton Jr.’s parents divorced in 2011, a year after his mother got a protective order against Middleton Sr. for alleged beatings and threats with weapons, The Times-Picayune reported. The News Orleans paper said Middleton Sr. was arrested for domestic abuse in 2009 but the battery charge was dropped. But Smith says that Middleton Sr. was never violent toward her. She could not fight the tears during an interview with local station WWLTV about the senseless slayings — especially that of her innocent little girl, who loved to dance and play dress-up. That 2-year-old girl never hurt a soul. “I moved her hair and I saw the bullet hole, and in order to breathe I just kept screaming, and I couldn’t scream and I just kept screaming and I couldn’t form words and I kept asking her to wake up. I kept trying her to wake up,” she said. “She didn’t wake up.” There are plenty of people who are abused, but they don’t go on a killing spree.

St. Clair was dead at the scene. Davis is St. Clair’s stepson and lives in the area. “I’d never seen this before, but when we first looked at our victim seeing the waistband of his underwear was around his neck,” Booth said. Booth said Davis told investigators that he went to his stepfather’s residence and his stepfather “jumped him.” St. Clair had a head wound and appeared to have been in a fight. The underwear St. Clair was wearing had been pulled up his back and over his head, leaving the waistband around his neck. Booth said it was the first time he had ever heard of someone being killed by a pair of underwear. The cause of death has been determined to be from blunt force trauma to the head and asphyxiation. The death has been ruled a homicide, said Amy Elliott, Oklahoma state medical examiner’s spokeswoman.
