Marine Vet Fatally Shot at FB Marketplace Meetup Called His Mom: ‘I’m Dying’

A decorated Marine veteran was fatally shot at his home during a Facebook Marketplace sale — and he spent his final moments describing his attackers to police over the phone before heartbreakingly texting his family goodbye.

Michael Ryan Burke, 42, was gunned down during a sale-turned-robbery involving a cellphone at his home in Columbia, Missouri, on Sunday, according to the Columbia Police Department. . .

Burke’s college pal and fraternity brother, Jerry Reifeiss, described the veteran’s final moments in an interview with KRCG13. . .

He said Burke held on long enough to call 911 and describe his attackers. He also managed to text his mother and sister, “I’m dying and I love you,” before he was rushed to a local hospital, where he died.

“That was just Ryan. He always put people in front of him and wanted to make sure people know how he felt. He didn’t want to go on to the next life and pass away without providing some information to us that would bring justice to these people and let people know he always loves them,” Reifeiss told the outlet.

Teen Shoots Parents, Killing Mother, in Day-After-Christmas Horror

A teen allegedly shot both of his parents, killing his mother, outside their Pennsylvania home the day after Christmas, according to authorities.

Jarrod Noll, 18, was nabbed in West Virginia on Saturday after authorities launched a massive manhunt with search dogs after the attack in the town of New Freeport on Friday afternoon, according to the Pennsylvania State Police.

Cops were called to the home, just north of the West Virginia border, and discovered Noll’s mother and father with gunshot wounds, police said.

Noll’s mother, who has not yet been identified, was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later pronounced dead, cops said.

His father was taken to a hospital and has since been released in stable condition, authorities added.

The teen’s younger siblings were home when the shooting took place, though he allegedly fired the shots outside the home. The children are now in the custody of a relative, CBS News reported. (Read more from “Teen Shoots Parents, Killing Mother, in Day-After-Christmas Horror” HERE)

Two Teens Charged With First-Degree Murder in Slaying of Congressional Intern, Pirro Announces

DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Friday that two teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder and will be tried as adults for the slaying of a congressional intern — and that a third suspect is still being pursued.

Jalen Lucas and Kelvin Thomas Jr., both 17, were apprehended in DC and charged with fatally shooting Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, in a June 30 drive-by about a mile northeast of the White House.

The three gunmen allegedly unloaded 79 rounds from two rifles and a 9mm handgun at a “neighborhood crew” rival riding a bike, officials said, striking bystanders including Tarpinian-Jachym, who died July 1.

“Eric didn’t deserve to be gunned down, and the system failed him — the system that felt that juveniles needed to be coddled. And it’s bad enough to be gunned down on any street, but to be gunned down in our nation’s capital is an outrage,” Pirro said.

“The DC Council thinks that these kids need to be protected. They don’t need to be protected. They need to be made accountable, and we need to be protected… This killing underscores why we need the authority to prosecute these younger kids, because they’re not kids, they’re criminals.” (Read more from “Two Teens Charged With First-Degree Murder in Slaying of Congressional Intern, Pirro Announces” HERE)

Will the Liberal Media Cover This Horrific Crime Story?

A high school football star was stabbed in the heart allegedly by another Texas teen at a track meet Wednesday morning.

17-year-old Karmelo Sincere Anthony is accused of killing Austin Metcalf, 17, around 10 a.m. at the sporting event, a track-and-field championship involving several Dallas-area schools in Frisco, Texas.

Metcalf, a junior at Memorial High School, was in the stands when he was fatally stabbed following an altercation over a seat.

Anthony, a student from Frisco’s neighboring Centennial High School, allegedly attacked Metcalf after he was told that he was sitting in the wrong spot. Witnesses say Anthony drew a knife and stabbed Metcalf, leaving him to die in his twin brother’s arms.

Hunter Metcalf, who was born a few minutes after Austin, recounted watching in horror as his brother bled out. (Read more from “Will the Liberal Media Cover This Horrific Crime Story?” HERE)

Officers Left ‘Visibly Shaken’ After Entering Home, Arresting Father For ‘One Of The Most Horrific Things’

A man beheaded his one-year-old son during a domestic violence incident early Friday in Sacramento, local police reported.

Andrey Demskiy, 28, was found with his son’s head in a bedroom in his Antelope residence after police broke through to arrest him, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO). It was “a gruesome discovery,” the SCSO said.

The SCSO’s North Patrol Deputies were at Demskiy’s residence in response to a family disturbance report that they received at about 4:15 a.m. The deputies found Demskiy’s wife and her mother outside the residence. Demsky’s wife alleged that Demskiy had assaulted her and her mother, who was injured. Emergency personnel took the injured woman to the hospital — her injuries were non-life-threatening, the SCSO said.

Demskiy had barricaded himself within the residence and would not surrender, according to the statement. The deputies learned that the accused was with his son whom he might have injured after throwing him. The deputies then broke into the residence out of concern for the child’s safety. They overpowered and arrested the uncooperative and combative Demskiy, and discovered his severed child’s head, the SCSO said.

Investigators determined that Demskiy had assaulted his wife and her mother and, after the two women left the house to wait for the police, decapitated his son with a knife, according to the SCSO.

Read Why Luigi Mangione Allegedly Killed Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson

By Townhall. Luigi Mangione had a brief court appearance today in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where he remains detained without bail due to his threat to the general public. The proceedings dealt with his extradition back to New York, where he’s been charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was allegedly shot and killed by Mangione around 6:45 AM on December 4 outside of the New York Hilton Midtown hotel—Thompson was in the city for an investor’s meeting.

Mangione escaped the city but was arrested this week in Altoona, Pennsylvania, at a McDonald’s after customers recognized him from the new images released by authorities where he was unmasked. Police found the firearm used in the crime, four fake IDs, including the one Mangione reportedly used to check into a hostel before committing the murder, and allegedly $8,000 in cash on his person—the latter detail he claims was planted by police. We also got bits and pieces of the reported manifesto, which was around two to three pages long and in his possession. It was a screed against the healthcare industry, which justifies the killing of the executives within the industry (via Ken Klippenstein):

Suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO struggles, shouts while entering courthouse

By Associated Press. The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s CEO struggled with deputies and shouted while being led into court Tuesday as new details emerged about his possible motivation behind the ambush.

In his first public words since a five-day search ended with his arrest at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, Luigi Nicholas Mangione emerged from a patrol car shouting about an “insult to the intelligence of the American people” while deputies pushed him inside a courthouse.

The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family is fighting attempts to extradite him to New York so that he can face a murder charge in the Manhattan killing of Brian Thompson, who led the United States’ largest medical insurance company.

A law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said that at the time of his arrest, Mangione was carrying a handwritten document expressing anger with what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed and power.

Mom Says She Solved Daughter’s Murder Case After Police Refused to Believe Her, Ruled Death a Suicide

The mother of a daughter whose death back in July 2023 was ruled a suicide by the police says she got her son-in-law to confess that he murdered her.

Jamie Dickerson, the mother, said that even though the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) at first ruled April Holt, her 29-year-old daughter, died from suicide, there was enough material in their 47-page supplement report to get her 33-year-old son-in-law to confess to killing her, Fox 17 reported.

MNPD discovered April’s corpse in the couple’s apartment with a plastic bag taped around her neck that led to death by strangulation. Dickerson pointed out that according to police’s own reporting only the fingerprints of Donovan Holt, the son-in-law, were detected on the bag and tape.

The aggrieved mother spent months investigating the case before confronting her son-in-law.

“That is when I confronted him (Donovan) and he confessed to me and so that is when I went to the police,” Dickerson said. (Read more from “Mom Says She Solved Daughter’s Murder Case After Police Refused to Believe Her, Ruled Death a Suicide” HERE)

Grandma Admits She Intentionally Shot 6-Month-Old Grandkid: ‘Sorry, Not Sorry’

An Ohio grandmother admitted this week that she intentionally shot her sleeping 6-month-old granddaughter in the face, saying she was “sorry, not sorry.”

Mia Desiree Harris, 43, unleashed a violent rage on her granddaughter, Myra, when she used a 9-milimeter pistol to fire multiple shots at the baby’s wooden bedroom door. She then broke the door down and shot the baby in the eye, according to court documents.

During the violent encounter on Dec. 9, 2023, Harris also punched a person in the face and assaulted another person by trying to shoot them in the head at close range — but missed — before shooting the baby, court records show.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said the family was arguing in their Liberty Township home when Harris grabbed the weapon, WXIX reported.

The unremorseful grandmother told deputies that Myra “was not my grandbaby” and said “sorry, not sorry” when asked why she unloaded her gun at the child’s face, Detective Daniel Turner testified in December, WCPO reported.

‘Willful, Deliberate, Premeditated’: Jury Finds Former Democratic Official Guilty of Murdering Reporter

A jury found a former Democratic Las Vegas elected official guilty of murdering a reporter Wednesday.

Robert Telles, 47, the former Clark County Public Administrator, was found guilty of first-degree murder over the death of Jeff German, who was a reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, according to the outlet.

German was stabbed to death on Sept.2, 2022. Tellas had lost the Democratic primary in June 2022, a failure that was attributed partly to German’s articles about alleged misconduct, CNN reported. German had written on allegations that Tellas had engaged in an “inappropriate relationship” with a “staffer” and fostered a “hostile work environment.”

The jury found the murder was “willful, deliberate, and premeditated,” according to a video shared to Twitter.

53 Years Later, Police Solve Cold Case Murder Thanks to Witness Coming Forward From Hospital Bed (VIDEO)

Authorities in eastern Ohio closed a sixty-year-old cold case Saturday four years after a hospitalized man for fear of death admitted to witnessing the murder and identified the suspect, according to a police statement.

The homicide victim, 43-year-old Daisy Evelyn Shelton of Dayton, was murdered and dismembered in 1964, after which her remains were found in several locations, the Miami County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) said in the statement. A fisherman fetched an arm of Shelton’s from a gravel pit near Tipp City in June 1964, another found a burlap bag containing Shelton’s torso in a channel of the old Miami Erie canal four days later, and still later authorities found Shelton’s head and one of her legs in the canal, the statement revealed.

“The investigation went cold until 2017 when a witness of the murder, who feared he was dying while in the hospital, made a confession to a nurse” and then “survived and was interviewed by detectives,” the MCSO’s statement continued.

The key witness confessed to observing the suspect fatally bludgeon Shelton with a hammer in a home, after which Shelton’s body was cut up and scattered about in water bodies in and around Tipp City, the MCSO said.

The suspect — whom investigators interviewed multiple times — reportedly “[i]nitially…denied knowing Daisy Shelton despite their living on the same street and working for the same employer” but reluctantly admitted to knowing Shelton in August 2017.
