Mass Shooting – Killed – Male Teen – David Carpenter-Kohler (Barberton, OH)

Two men have been arrested in connection with the New Year’s Eve shooting deaths of a Barberton father and his two teenage children.

Michael Deon Hendon, 22, and Eric Donta Hendon, 30, both of Akron, were arrested Friday on three counts each of aggravated murder.

Additional charges, including a potential death penalty specification indictment, will be considered when the case is reviewed later this month by a Summit County grand jury.

The arrests came on the same day that John Kohler, the Barberton father whose home was targeted by armed robbers on New Year’s Eve, died of apparent gunshot wounds.

He was shot in the home invasion burglary that also claimed the life of his 18-year-old stepdaughter, Ashley Carpenter, and his son, David Kohler Carpenter, 14.

Kohler’s girlfriend, Ronda Blankenship, 38, survived the shooting and is recovering at an area hospital.

Autopsies this week showed that Ashley died of a single gunshot wound to the head. Her brother, David, died of multiple gunshot wounds to the head. He also suffered defensive wounds to his arms, reports show. They were found together in a back bedroom.

The haunting 911 call from a Barberton woman paints a picture of the aftermath of a shooting New Year’s Eve that left her and her boyfriend wounded and his two teenage children dead.

“Help, help,” a wounded Ronda Blankenship pleads to a dispatcher in the conversation released Thursday by Southwest Summit Communications. “I’m bleeding everywhere … my boyfriend is here. I have two kids here … Help, help, help. Oh God.”

The teens were visiting their father, John Kohler, 42, at his 7th Street Northeast home on New Year’s Eve.

His girlfriend, Rhonda Blankenship, 38, was also shot, but survived.

A call for help was made around 6:50 p.m.

AKRON, Ohio — One of two brothers accused of killing three people and shooting a fourth during a home invasion robbery in Barberton is mentally unfit for the death penalty, a judge ruled on Monday.

Michael Hendon, 23, of Akron, still faces aggravated murder charges in the Dec. 31, 2013 attack. Summit County Judge Amy Corrigal Jones ruled that Hendon mental disabilities barred him from being executed under state and federal laws.

Hendon is scheduled for a court hearing Tuesday to determine how the case will proceed.

Hendon and his brother, Eric Hendon, 32, are accused of breaking into a 7th Street S.W. home in order to steal drugs and money, according to police.

Killed – Male Teen – D’Andre Green (Newark, DE)

On December 28, 2013, 16-year-old D’Andre Green was attending a birthday party at the Brookside Community Center in Newark, Delaware. As people were leaving the event and D’Andre was waiting outside for his father to pick him up from the party, a fight broke out in the front parking lot of the Center. D’Andre, who was not involved in the fight, attempted to run away when shots were fired. However, D’Andre was caught in the crossfire, shot several times, and later died from his injuries.

According to New Castle County Police, officers were called to the community center around 11:45 p.m. for the report of a large crowd and disturbance.

The FBI has joined the search for the killer who gunned down a teenage boy, an innocent bystander who was leaving a party in Newark, Delaware.

The agency added another $10,000 to a reward fund, bringing the total to $30,000.

The murder happened on December 28, 2013 at the Brookside Community Center at 900 Marrows Road.

Killed – Male Teen – Jonathan Pearcey (DeKalb, GA)

A DeKalb County teen shot in the face last week died over the weekend, police said.

Jonathan Pearcey, 15, died on Saturday, after being in critical condition from the gunshot wound he suffered early Friday morning, police said.

Pearcey’s friend, 17-year-old Jacob Christmas, was arrested mid-day Friday and charged with aggravated assault in Pearcey’s shooting, police said.

Christmas is now charged with murder, DeKalb County Police Capt. Steven Fore told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Fore said there had been an ongoing dispute between the teens that “finally came to a head.” The teens were close friends and it wasn’t uncommon for one to be at the other’s home.

Police said Christmas had been at Pearcey’s home hours before the shooting. Christmas left, Fore said, and returned around 2:30 a.m., and shot Pearcey.

Police were called, and Christmas was later arrested at his home where officers found a handgun, Fore said.

The teen was one of a number of people at a home on Hillcrest Drive SE when he was shot at about 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 27.

Killed – Male Teen – German Serrano (Fort Worth, TX)

A 24-year-old man who acknowledged pulling the trigger and fatally shooting a 14-year-old boy last week was in jail Tuesday, police reported.

Jose Mahugnos was arrested Monday in the death of German Serrano, 14.

Mahugnos told police he thought the gun wasn’t loaded, police said.

Mahugnos and the teen were among visitors at a house in the 3000 block of Hanger Avenue in east Fort Worth when the shooting occurred about 11:45 p.m. Thursday, police said.

“The investigation revealed that several individuals were in a residence,” homicide Sgt. Cheryl Johnson said Friday. A man “had a weapon [and] pulled the trigger, shooting the victim.”

Mahugnos was questioned and released after the shooting.

Serrano died Friday afternoon at John Peter Smith Hospital. He was shot in the head, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office website.

Fort Worth police say Serrano was one of several people in a group at a home on the 3000 block of Hanger Avenue in Fort Worth, when a 24-year-old pulled out a gun and pointed it at Serrano’s head, pulling the trigger.

He shot the teen above the left eye and left the scene. The shooter later called police and told them he didn’t know the gun was loaded. Police brought him in for questioning and later released him.

FORT WORTH (December 31, 2013) Jose Mahugnos, 24, who told Fort Worth police he thought a gun he was holding wasn’t loaded when he pulled the trigger, firing a shot that killed a 14-year-old, has been charged with manslaughter.

Mahugnos was arrested Monday and remained in Mansfield Jail on Tuesday in lieu of $70,000 bond and on an immigration hold.

The Tarrant County medical examiner’s office says the teenager, old German Serrano, died Friday afternoon at John Peter Smith Hospitalfrom a gunshot wound to the head.

Triple Murder – Killed – Male Teen – Kasson Mormon (Newark, NJ)

NEWARK — One of the teenage victims of a Christmas night shooting in Newark was a 13-year-old girl taking out the trash, a law enforcement source said today.

Zainee Hailey, 13, was killed while taking garbage out of her Schley Street house, the source said. She was a student at Bragaw Avenue Elementary School in Newark.

Also killed was Kasson Morman, 15, a resident of North Seventh Street in Newark, the source said. Mormon was a student at Central High School in Newark.

A third teenager was also injured in the shooting. The source did not identify him, but said the teenager is a 14-year-old student at Weequahic High School in Newark.

NEWARK — A 15-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to fatally shooting three teenagers on a Newark street on Christmas night last year, a spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said.

The boy pleaded guilty on Monday in juvenile court in connection with the murders of Zainee Hailey, Kasson Morman and Abdul Frazier, said Katherine Carter, spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office.

Under the terms of a plea agreement, he faces up to 40 years in prison when he is sentenced, Carter said. But Carter said juveniles are sentenced to what is called an “indeterminate term,” meaning the parole board can release him when it determines he is rehabilitated.

The boy opened fire in the 100 block of Schley Street, because he felt “disrespected” after one of the boys apparently hit on his girlfriend, law enforcement sources have said.

Hailey, 13, was gunned down as she and her younger brother carried trash bags to the street from her family’s third-floor apartment. Hailey and Morman, 15, died shortly after the attack, and Frazier, 14, died from his injuries a few weeks later.

January 17, 2014 at 10:17 AM

NEWARK — The third teenager shot on a South Ward street on Christmas night died early this morning in the hospital, authorities said,

Abdul Frazier, 14, was one of the three teenagers shot on Schley Street. He has spent the past three weeks at University Hospital where he died at 4:57 a.m. today, said Thomas Fennelly, the chief assistant Essex County Prosecutor.

The innocent Newark girl died in a hail of bullets intended for somebody else after she and her 7-year-old brother carried the holiday trash to the curb, authorities and neighbors said.

A visitor, Kasson Morman, 15, was also slain when the gunfire erupted around 10 p.m. Wednesday, while a 14-year-old boy was shot but survived — critically wounded with a bullet lodged in his spine.

MANSFIELD — The 16-year-old boy who died after a Christmas Day shootout with Grand Prairie police was driving a stolen car and using a stolen gun, officials said Thursday.

Mansfield Lake Ridge High School student Peyton Cole Barbour — described by friends as cheerful and beloved — kicked off the manhunt after fleeing when an officer tried to pull him over early Wednesday morning.

Grand Prairie police spokesman Mark Beseda said the officer tried to initiate the stop near North Grand Peninsula Drive and England Parkway because it was around 4:30 a.m. and the vehicle seemed suspicious.

“Whatever [Barbour] was doing caught the officer’s attention, and that’s when they pulled up to him and he just took off,” Beseda said.

Beseda said the officer making the stop wasn’t aware Barbour was driving a stolen 1997 Honda, though he said that may explain why the teenager fled.

The brief chase ended when Barbour abandoned the car in the middle of a field and shot at the officer, who fired back. Neither was wounded, and Barbour escaped into a wooded area.

About 2 p.m., Barbour started shooting at officers again while cornered near East Seeton Road. He injured two officers before authorities surrounded and shot him.

Barbour was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he died. The two officers are recovering from non-life-threatening injuries.

Police on Thursday were still trying to determine how Barbour obtained a Glock 9-mm pistol. The gun had been reported stolen in a home burglary.

Barbour fled on foot and shot at a pursuing officer, who returned fire. The teenager disappeared into the woods. Grand Prairie police set up a perimeter and searched the area for hours. About 2:00 p.m., officers found Barbour about a mile from the original traffic stop.

Killed – Male Teen – William Goodman (Pensacola, FL)

The fatal shooting of a Gulf Breeze teenager by a Pensacola police officer Christmas Eve 2013 was justified, according to a report issued by the State Attorney’s Office on Thursday.

No criminal charges will be filed against Officer Chad Willhite in the death of 17-year-old William A. Goodman III, who was shot to death after leading officers on a high speed chase around the city and ramming his vehicle into a pair of patrol cars.

Investigations by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the State Attorney’s Office concluded Willhite was faced with a suspect who “exhibited no indication he would obey commands of any officer,” wrote Assistant State Attorney John Molchan in the report.

The report said officers spotted Goodman driving a Corvette through the city at speeds of 80-90 mph in the early morning hours of Dec. 24. Officers reportedly initiated pursuits of the Corvette several times, but discontinued them when Goodman began to drive even more recklessly.

Goodman was eventually intercepted and stopped at the intersection of 17th Avenue and Bayfront Parkway at about 5:30 a.m. After being boxed in at the intersection and surrounded by officers, Goodman began repeatedly ramming the Corvette into the police vehicles in an attempt to escape, the report said.

When Officer Sgt. Steve Bauer was struck in the leg by the Corvette after exiting his vehicle to detain Goodman, Willhite fired into the vehicle three times and hit Goodman twice in the torso, the report said.

Goodman died shortly after being taken to a hospital. A toxicology report found that his blood-alcohol content was .13, which is over the legal limit in Florida.

Killed – Male Teen – Carlos Ponce (Madera, CA)

Madera Police have arrested a man they believe is responsible for shooting and killing a Madera teenager.

Eddie Luna was arrested Friday in the death of 15-year-old Carlos Ponce.

Police say Ponce was shot and killed Monday night just before 9:30 p.m. on the 1600 block of Lacreta Avenue.

Luna is now behind bars at the Madera County Jail on charges of murder and committing murder for the benefit of a criminal street gang.

Family members held a candlelight vigil for a Madera teenager who police say was shot and killed after trying to save his little brother.

Investigators say Carlos Ponce and his brother were walking through their neighborhood to play video games with a friend when a gunman ran up and fired. Police are still looking for the suspect who got away. They believe the suspect mistook the teenager’s dark clothing for rival gang colors.

Songs of sorrow echoed through a small Madera living room where 15 year-old Carlos Ponce lived with his family. A close friend said the 10th grader at Madera South High School spent his evenings working in the fields to provide for his family.

Killed – Male Teen – Javon Butler (Galesburg, IL)

GALESBURG, Ill. — Galesburg police say they have issued arrest warrants for two men in connection with the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy.

The (Galesburg) Register-Mail reports that police are seeking two 18-year-old men — one on first-degree murder and firearms charges and the other for possession of a firearm by a felon.

Police say officers responding to a 911 call around 8:50 p.m. Sunday found Javon Butler in the backyard of a home. The Knox County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene.

A Galesburg teenager will spend at least several decades in prison after pleading guilty to the shooting death of a Galesburg teen over a year ago. But, it’s not the sentence that the family of the victim was likely hoping for.

19-year-old Brandon Kenney pleaded guilty in Knox County Circuit Court yesterday to charges of Second Degree Murder, and was sentenced as part of a negotiation to 40 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. However, Kenney will be able to get day-for-day credit, which means that he’ll serve about 20 years in prison for the crime, once a prison term for an unrelated Knox County robbery case expires.

Kenney was arrested in January of last year, weeks after the shooting death just before Christmas of 2013 of 15-year-old Javon Butler. Kenney shot Butler during an altercation in the 600 block of Monmouth Boulevard.

Officials say had the first degree murder charges still been in effect, Kenney could have served a minimum of 45 years in prison had he pleaded guilty or was convicted.

Killed – Male Teen – Courtrell Jackson (Killeen, TX)

KILLEEN (December 26, 2013) Marcus Brown, 23, of Harker Heights, remained in the Bell County Jail Thursday charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver in connection with an incident in which a teenager was shot to death, according to online jail records.

His bond was set at $250,000.

The teenager, identified in an arrest warrant affidavit released Thursday as Courtrell Jackson, 15, died at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center after the shooting on Dec. 20.

Officers found him lying on the sidewalk in the 1300 block of Fox Creek Drive.

Jackson turned 15 on Dec. 8, the affidavit said.

Brown, who was arrested shortly after officers responded to the shooting call early in the evening on Dec. 20, told investigators he had agreed to sell marijuana to the teenager, the affidavit said.

Brown said he picked up Jackson and drove for a short period of time.

Then he said Jackson pulled a gun and attempted to rob him, according to the affidavit.

Jackson fired once and Brown, who had his own gun, fired back and hit the teenager, the affidavit said.

Jackson was able to escape from the vehicle after he was shot, but quickly collapsed on the sidewalk, police said.

Jackson was transported to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, where he was pronounced dead at 6:21 p.m. by Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke, according to a news release from the Killeen Police Department.

Double Shooting – Wounded – Male Teen (Nairn, LA)

NAIRN, La. – An 18-year-old man hog hunting with two close friends accidentally shot them when he mistook them for the hogs he sought, Plaquemines Parish Sheriff Lonnie Greco said.

The shots from the shotgun of Wyatt Evans struck and killed 18-year-old Galen Scott and injured 17-year-old Cody Jones.

Evans has been booked at the Belle Chasse jail without bail on charges of negligent homicide and negligent injuring.

The incident occurred Thursday around 5:45 p.m. in Nairn, just south of Port Sulphur.

According to Greco, deputies received a call of two people shot in Nairn and those who arrived on the scene found Scott suffering from wounds to the head and leg, he was pronounced dead on the scene. Jones was shot in the legs and was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Greco said that based on interviews with Evans, Jones and other witnesses, it appears that the three friends went hog hunting in a wooded area and that prior to the trip, they had smoked marijuana.

After the sun had set, Greco said that Scott and Jones began walking towards Evans and that he observed two objects about 75 feet away and, thinking they were the hogs they sought, he fired back-to-back rounds of buckshot from his gun, striking both young men.

Greco said Evans immediately ran to their aid and the Plaquemines sheriff’s office was called to the scene.

It happened Monday just before 11:30 p.m. near 18th Street and Broadway.

Double Shooting – Killed – Male Teen – Clifton Chatman (San Francisco, CA)

Officials in San Francisco are saying that a 16-year-old thief who was killed earlier this month was fatally shot when a bullet fired by an accomplice ricocheted off their victim’s face.

The details about the death of 16-year-old Clifton Chatman were released at the same time police were announcing that they had another 16-year old in custody on suspicion of murder and attempted robbery.

During the incident, police say a group of thieves converged on the victim around 11 p.m. in the Alemany public housing complex. The suspects took the victim’s cellphone and then one of them pulled out a gun.

Even though the victim complied with the alleged thieves’ demands, a shot was still fired. Police say that the bullet ricocheted off the victim’s face and fatally wounded Chatman. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene.

The victim of the robbery was hospitalized and is expected to survive. Police are still looking for additional suspects.

Killed – Male Teen – Anthony Warren (Indianapolis, IN)

Indianapolis Metro Police have arrested 19-year-old Brice Price in connection with the murder of 15-year-old Anthony Warren.

Price was arrested on Alabama Street Monday, two days after Warren’s shooting death.

Warren was the 117th homicide victim in Indianapolis this year, up from 89 at this time in 2012.

“We are never going to forget Anthony. Never, never,” said his mother, Nikkita Milledge.

Milledge says she read about her son’s shooting within minutes on Facebook, even before officers identified his body at the scene.

“Because someone put on Facebook, ‘RIP Anthony, I will miss you’ and then the phone calls started coming in to my house and cell phone,” she said.

The shooting happened just before 1 p.m. Saturday in the Rosewood Commons apartment complex near West 56th Street and Georgetown Road. Milledge believes others would have been outside to see or hear something. There are reports of at least one vehicle speeding away from the apartment complex shortly after the gunfire.

Double Shooting – Killed – Male Teen – Maurice Fountain (Cleveland, OH)

Maurice Fountain, who was shot during a robbery in Canton on Dec. 13, died of gunshot wounds to the left cheek and neck with skeletal, vascular and soft tissue injuries.

Fountain was at the home of 19-year-old Michael Sibert Jr. on Alan Page Drive when three people entered the home and attempted to rob the two men, according to a Canton police release. One of the men shot Sibert, who was able to return fire and hit the shooter in the face, forcing the other two men to flee, Canton police said.

Fountain also was shot during the encounter, and was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center by helicopter. Sibert was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Her son, 19-year-old Michael A. Sibert Jr., was killed Dec. 13 during a robbery at his apartment on Alan Page Drive SE. Since then, the mother has missed giving him hugs and kisses, ones she planned to shower him with until he was an old man.

The small cross dangled over her chest Tuesday when she sat in court and watched two teenagers — Amir G. Eppinger and David D. Sharp — admit to their roles in his death and get sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Each teenager pleaded guilty to complicity to involuntary manslaughter. The charge had been amended from complicity to murder as part of a plea agreement.

Under the plea deal, Eppinger and Sharp agreed to testify against another codefendant in the case, Marcus R. Cobb, 27, who is charged with complicity to murder.

According to court records, Maurice Fountain, 16, of Cleveland, shot Sibert, who died at the scene, police said.

Sharp, Eppinger and Fountain struggled with Sibert’s friend, who was at the apartment, according to court records. Fountain died Dec. 21 from gunshot injuries sustained during the robbery, police said.

Canton police responded to 643 Alan Page Drive S.E. at approximately 6:08 p.m. Friday regarding a shooting casualty.

Triple Shooting – Wounded – Male Teen (New Orleans, LA)

A man killed in a triple shooting in eastern New Orleans on Tuesday night (Dec. 10) has been identified by the Orleans Parish coroner.

Emmanuel Jethro, 33, died at about 8 p.m. after being shot several times in the 11900 block of Hayne Boulevard, said John Gagliano, chief investigator at the Orleans Parish coroner’s office.

Two other men — ages 17 and 20 — were also shot at a gas station on the corner of Hayne Boulevard and Bullard Avenue, and were listed in stable condition at a local hospital, NOPD spokesman Garry Flot said.

The report of the shooting came in Tuesday about 7:35 p.m., the spokesman said. The NOPD has not made any arrests in the case.

New details have emerged in last month’s shooting death of a Gretna man who New Orleans police say was gunned down by 17-year-old Tracy Bell at an eastern New Orleans gas station.

Though Bell is accused of fatally wounding 33-year-old Emmanuel Jethro and faces a charge of second-degree murder, investigators believe it was Jethro’s 17-year-old nephew who initiated the fateful shootout after a verbal altercation turned violent, an arrest report says. Bell, who was wounded in the exchange, surrendered to authorities last Friday at his mother’s home, which is less than two miles from the crime scene.

Police responding to reports of gunfire on the night of Dec. 10 arrived at the Family Ranch Discount Gas station to find blood, 13 spent bullet casings of different calibers, and one live 9 mm cartridge, the warrant says. What they didn’t find were victims, or a clear picture of what had transpired.

But after reports of gunshot patients turning up in private cars minutes later at both Interim LSU Public Hospital and Tulane Medical Center, investigators began piecing together the details of the shootout. Based on interviews, seized belongings, and a review of the gas station’s surveillance tapes, police determined that Bell and Jethro’s nephew not only knew each other, but had been texting each other about firearms before the confrontation took place. The detective did not elaborate on the details of the firearms discussion.

NOPD Detective Nicholas Williams said in the warrant Jethro was in the front passenger seat of a Chevrolet Impala driven by his girlfriend, with his nephew a passenger in the back seat. Bell and a 20-year-old man pulled up behind them at the gas station in a Nissan Maxima. Bell initially told investigators he and his associate were waiting for a gas pump. The driver of the Impala told police her car had been pursued and run off a road by the Maxima, before stopping at the gas station.

Jethro got out of the Impala and began arguing with the Maxima’s passengers, which escalated into a physical confrontation, the warrant says. Jethro’s nephew also left the Impala and told its driver to pop open the trunk, from which he pulled a .40-caliber pistol and began firing, the detective wrote in the warrant. Bell told police he got a 9mm handgun from his car and returned fire, striking the unarmed Jethro twice, the warrant says. At least one shot punctured Jethro’s femoral artery, and bleeding from that leg wound proved fatal. Bell told police he discarded the weapon after escaping the scene.

Killed – Male Teen – Asbiel Copado (Planada, CA)

A 16-year-old suspected gang member was gunned down late Monday on the Planada street where another man who police say was from the same gang was shot and killed nearly three weeks ago, authorities said Tuesday.

Asbiel Copado was shot multiple times in the upper body around 8:21p.m. and pronounced dead a short time later at an area hospital, Merced County Sheriff Mark Pazin said Tuesday at a news conference.

“This is just an absolute down-and-dirty murder,” Pazin said.

Copado was shot on the street in the 9300 block of Bigler Drive – near the spot where 24-year-old Eric Perez Guzman was shot to death Nov. 21. Copado and Guzman were members of the same Planada criminal street gang, Pazin said.

The Sheriff’s Department identified the victim of a fatal shooting in Planada as 24-year-old Eric Perez Guzman, a suspected gang member.

Guzman was shot in the head about 8:30 p.m. Thursday in the 9300 block of Bigler Drive in Planada and died the next day at a Modesto hospital.

Merced County Sheriff’s detectives are looking for a man suspected of shooting a fellow gang member to death in November.

A warrant has been issued for Adrian Quezada of Planada, Deputy Delray Shelton confirmed this week.

Quezada, 19, is the prime suspect in the Nov. 25 shooting death of 24-year-old Eric Perez Guzman in the 9300 block of Bigler Driver, the Sheriff’s Department said.

Guzman died at a regional hospital a day after he was shot. About two weeks later, one of Guzman’s relatives, 16-year-old Asbiel Copado, was also shot and killed in nearly the same spot as Guzman in the 9300 block of Bigler Drive. Authorities said Copado was a member of the same gang.

Shelton said Copado’s death remains under investigation and detectives haven’t ruled out possible connections between the two cases.

Eric Perez Guzman, 24, was shot in that same block Nov. 25, 2013, and died a few days later at a regional hospital. A warrant has been issued for Adrian Quezada, 19, of Planada, charging him with Guzman’s murder. He has not been arrested, authorities confirmed Friday.

Two weeks later, on Dec. 9, 2013, one of Guzman’s relatives, 16-year-old Asbiel Copado, was shot and killed in nearly the same spot as Guzman. Authorities said Copado and Guzman were members of the same gang. No arrests have been made in that case.

Double Shooting – Wounded – Male Teen (Tunica, MS)

(WMC – TV) – On Saturday, Tunica Police are investigating the killing of a soon-to-be-father outside of a nightclub. “Today is his birthday, he got killed on his birthday,” said Linda Vaughn about her nephew, Anthony Vaughn. Tunica Police say he was shot and killed outside of the Nickson Disco Club where a fight broke out on Friday night.

Investigators say several shots were fired outside of the club. A teenager was also hit and taken to the MED. A third person was hurt, but Tunica police are trying to figure out if the victim was shot or pistol whipped. There are two people in custody, but neither have been charged in Vaughn’s death.

Three Tunica men are in custody and charged with murder in the Dec. 7 shooting death of Anthony Vaughn, also of Tunica, who had just turned 24 that day.

Vaughn, shot multiple times at Nickson’s Disco nightclub in downtown Tunica, was transported to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, where he later died, according to Tunica police investigator Michael Nichols.

Travis Nickson, 38, Mario Nickson, 41, and Quinton Gates, 27, are being held in the Tunica County Jail, on charges of murder and accessory after the fact.

An altercation that began inside the club Friday spilled out onto Marie Street just after midnight Saturday, Dec. 7, Nichols said.

Double Murder/Suicide – Killed – Male Teen – Isaac Miller (Lansing, MI)

The names of the two victims and alleged shooter in Thursday’s double murder-suicide in Lansing have been released.

MLive media partner WLNS said police have identified Randy Keith, 52, as the shooter. The two victims are his 37-year-old wife, Christine Keith, and her son, 14-year-old son Isaac Miller.

WLNS says police believe Keith then shot himself.

Officers arrived at the house on the 700 block of W. Saginaw Ave. around 7:20 p.m. Thursday.

LANSING – Lansing Police discovered the bodies of three people on Thursday night in what is being called a double-murder suicide.

Officers responded to a report that a woman appeared to be dead inside the home on the 700 block of W. Saginaw Ave. around 7:20 p.m. last night. According to Capt. Daryl Green, officers made an emergency entry into the home and found an unresponsive female lying on the floor.

Once inside the home, officers discovered a total two more bodies. Investigators are actively working the case and, according to Green, preliminary reports suggest that the deaths are a part of an apparent double murder-suicide.

Numerous times in recent years, Randy Keith reportedly threatened to kill his wife if she ever left him, court documents say.

‘Threats of shooting me to death with one of his hunting rifles were par for the course,’ Christine Keith wrote in a petition for a personal protection order filed in April in Ingham County Circuit Court.
Sadly she later withdrew that order.

In her first divorce filing, as well as in the personal protection order, Christine Keith outlined what she said was her husband’s controlling, erratic and sometimes violent behavior. The couple were married in 2003 but just five years later they were filing for divorce.

“Threats of shooting me to death with one of his hunting rifles were par for the course,” Christine Keith wrote in a petition for a personal protection order filed in April in Ingham County Circuit Court. She later withdrew that order.

Double Shooting – Killed – Male Teen – Calvin Ward (Chattanooga, TN)

Chattanooga police have arrested a man whose partner was killed during a robbery they planned at a Bi-Lo parking lot last week.

Galen Allen, 26, faces charges of attempted first degree murder, aggravated assault, aggravated robbery and tampering with evidence.

Allen’s partner, 17-year-old Calvin Ward, was shot and killed when the victim, Jaden Archer, fired his Glock .40 caliber in self defense, according to Chattanooga police.

Jaden Archer was uninjured and still on scene when police arrived. He told police he met Ward at the parking lot to purchase electronic tablets.

Instead, Ward tried to rob him at gunpoint, he told police.

Ward was found dead in a white Kia parked in the grocery store parking lot at 4510 Highway 58. A handgun was found in the car with him in the passenger’s side. He suffered a couple of gunshot wounds to his back.

Allen attempted to pull Archer from the vehicle. Archer also shot Allen. Allen managed to make it to a local hospital where he was treated.

Police were called to the scene after a report of gunfire at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, said Sgt. Wayne Jefferson, police information officer for the Chattanooga Police Department.

Triple Shooting – Wounded – Male Teen (Wingate, NC)

Investigators in Union County arrested two Marshville men after a deadly shooting near Wingate University.

Officers said Juan Carlos Garcia, Yader Sandoval, and Eleonel Garcia, who investigators say are all cousins, were shot. Juan Garcia and Yader Sandoval were pronounced deceased Wednesday night.

According to a press release, the suspects were arrested at about 11:40 p.m. Wednesday night. They were located together in a unit at the Willow Oaks Apartments off Walkup Avenue in Monroe. Officials say the men were arrested without incident after they exited the apartment from a back door.

Daniel Steven Sheerer and Tony Antwone Knotts are each charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count each robbery with a dangerous weapon, and one count each of attempted murder. According to a press release, the men subsequently confessed to breaking into several homes in the Union County area.

Both men are being held without bond in the Union County Jail.

Wingate University was on lockdown during the investigation. Union County law enforcement officials gave the “all clear” at Wingate at about 8:45 p.m., nearly two and a half hours after the lockdown was put into place.

Officials were working two crime scenes, one along E. Wilson Street, near the entrance to the College Park community, and another about two blocks away on Zeb Goodman Road. East Wilson Street runs along Wingate’s campus.

Wingate Police Chief Donnie Gay said it started when a Union County Sheriff’s Deputy was flagged down on E. Wilson because of a vehicle stopped in the road near Burris Street.

The deputy found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. The man had collapsed off the roadway near the car. He was later pronounced dead.

A short time later, a driver who had been diverted on Zeb Goodman Road reported two other men lying near the entrance to Wingate University Lake.

Officers responded to the scene, where one of the men was pronounced dead and the other, later identified as Eleonel Garcia, was airlifted to the hospital. Officials said both men had been shot.

Hospital officials from Carolinas Medical Center-Union asked for additional law enforcement officers from the area after a shooting victim was brought to the hospital for treatment.

A spokesman for Carolinas Medical Center told WBTV this was done as a precautionary measure due to the shooting happening near campus, not due to an incident at the hospital. This is common practice with these types of incidents.

That victim was moved to Carolinas Medical Center-Main for additional treatment. As of Thursday afternoon, officials said they were in fair condition.

Juan Carlos Garcia, 19, and Yader Alberto Sandoval Garcia, both from Monroe, died presumably from gunshot wounds. The surviving victim, Eleonel Castrejon Garcia, 17, is in fair condition at Carolinas Medical Center-Main. The men were cousins. No other information was released about their relationship to the men charged.

At about 5:45 p.m., a passing Union County Sheriff’s deputy was flagged down by a motorist who drove by earlier and saw a car stopped in the middle of East Wilson Street, Gay said. The passer-by spotted saw a man lying on the ground next to the stopped car and assumed the person was ill.

The deputy found that the man had been shot. Emergency personnel was dispatched and began CPR when they reached the scene. The man later died.

Meanwhile, a driver diverted from Wilson Street spotted two more victims in an open area on Zeb Goodman Road, about two blocks away from the first scene. There, authorities found one man dead and the other injured but still alive.

Killed – Male Teen – Eric Cuesta (Providence, RI)

Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin announced today that Louis Pina, age 21, of Providence, pled guilty before Superior Court Justice Robert D. Krause to the December 4, 2013 murder of 16-year-old Eric Cuesta. Under the terms of the plea agreement, with was reached with the approval of the victim’s family, Pina pled guilty to second degree murder, for which he was given a life sentence, and assault with a dangerous weapon, for which he was sentenced to 10 years to run concurrent.

Had the case proceeded to trial, the State was prepared to prove that early in the afternoon on December 4, 2013, Cuesta and a friend were driving in a van travelling eastbound on Adelaide Street toward Broad Street. At the same time, Pina and a friend were walking westbound on Adelaide Street. The van, in which Cuesta was the passenger, stopped a short distance from Pina and his friend. The two groups exchanged words and looks, at which time Pina withdrew his firearm – a .40 caliber Taurus semi-automatic handgun – and fired two shots at the van. One bullet struck and killed Cuesta.

“Words and looks of disrespect left a young man dead and his family to grieve over his loss. This entire episode was one of senseless violence with tragic consequences,” said Attorney General Peter Kilmartin.

The incident happened sometime around 1:30 p.m, after Cuesta and Pena, who knew each other, got into an argument. Cuesta was shot one time and brought to Hasbro Children’s Hospital in a private vehicle and was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival. Cuesta was still in high school.

Killed – Male Teen – Darron Lee (Sacramento, CA)

Police continue to search for clues in the assault on a 15-year-old boy who has since died of his injuries.

Darron Lee was found lying in the street in South Natomas on the night of Nov. 30. He had been shot in the leg, but also suffered serious head trauma. Lee was taken to the hospital, but he died on Friday.

12:39 AM, Dec 19, 2013

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Family members are asking for help from the public to find answers in the shooting death of a 15-year-old boy.

Darron “D.J.” Lee died Friday nearly two weeks after he was shot near the corner of San Juan Road and Bandon Way in Natomas in November. Now as his family makes funeral arrangements, they’re hoping someone out there can give them information on what led up to his death.

Almost a week after her son’s death, a memorial continues to grow on the sidewalk outside Audrey Crigler’s home. Family members said Lee was spending the weekend at a friend’s house in Natomas when he took a quick trip by himself to a nearby store. Moments later friends heard gunshots. Soon Crigler got a call from police.

Sacramento Police say they’re still trying to piece together what happened on Nov. 30. They do know someone shot him in the leg in a Natomas neighborhood on Bandon Way while with friends.

Killed – Male Teen (Meridian, MS)

MERIDIAN, MS, 11/29/13: A local teenager is dead following an apparent accidental shooting in Meridian on Friday afternoon. MPD was called to a home on 30th Avenue about 2:00. Authorities say a 17-year-old was shot in the head accidentally. He was rushed to the hospital, but Lauderdale County Coroner Clayton Cobler says he died a short time later.

Meridian police were quick to respond to the scene of a shooting Friday. Now 22-year-old Johnny Townsend is charged with manslaughter after accidentally taking a 17-year-old boy’s life.

“Charges were a result of an investigation into a shooting of a 17-year-old on Friday, Nov. 29, in the 3500 block of 30th Street,” Lt. John Griffith of the MPD said.

Police believe only Townsend and the boy were at the home at the time of the shooting. Results of the preliminary autopsy have come in and Coroner Clayton Cobler says that helps to provide a little more clarity on what happened that day.

“It is a perforating gunshot wound to the head at a distant range, was the entrance wound, and it did have an exit wound also. So the gunshot actually is what caused the death,” Cobler explained. “And from the evidence found at the autopsy, the gun was at a distance where it did not leave any residue, so that tell us it was at least 2 to 3 feet from the head.”

After its investigation, the MPD does not believe any foul play was involved in the incident, only that the shooting was accidental.

The coroner says the boy was quickly rushed to Anderson Hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal.

“According to the 911 it sounds like pretty immediately from the time it occurred until they contacted 911, and of course, he died at the hospital,” Cobler said.

Officers urge anyone operating a firearm to remember to use extreme caution at all times.

Killed – Male Teen – Richard Deleon (Bloomington, TX)

BLOOMINGTON (AP) — A South Texas woman has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of her 17-year-old brother as the pair apparently struggled over a handgun.

The Victoria Advocate reports 22-year-old Janiemarie Perez Clay was being held on $75,000 bond. The Victoria County Sheriff’s Office on Friday did not immediate update her custody status or provide information on an attorney.

Investigators say Richard Rico Deleon was fatally shot early Thanksgiving Day at a home in Bloomington, 10 miles southeast of Victoria. The teen was dead at the scene. Autopsy results are pending.

Sandra Deleon Ramirez says her two children apparently were playing with the gun and she told her son to put the weapon away. The mother believes her daughter was trying to take the gun when it accidentally fired.

Officers responded about 1 a.m. to the call of shots fired in the 400 block of Hedge Street, said Sheriff T. Michael O’Connor.
