Berserk naked black with African name attacks (White female) neighbor, dangles his baby over balcony (like Michael Jackson)   TUKWILA, Wash. -- Police say a naked man attacked his neighbor, got away, then dangled his 5-week-old baby from his balcony before he was arrested. This all unfolded Sunday morning at the Pacific Court Apartment complex in Tukwila. Both police and the victim described the man as "out of control." "He started choking me," said a woman named Kelly. We won't show Kelly's face or reveal her full name, but her story of survival empowers her, and that part she is willing to share. "I think he would have raped me and then would have killed me," she said. "He smashed this big long mirror," she said. "He had that piece and threatened to cut me with that."
It was her neighbor, a man she's known for four years and has always known as Monty.
Police identified him as 28-year-old Ifeanyi Chiegbu. Kelly barley managed to reach for the the phone to call 911, but said Chiegbu bit the phone's cord in half before she could make the call. "He goes, 'I'm going to (expletive) you and hurt you now.'" Police heard her screams and found Chiegbu naked, and on top of her. As they pulled him off, court filings say the man's wife showed up and started fighting with officers, allowing the suspect time to jump off Kelly's second floor balcony. - (Black-on-white) |

'Swinger' testimony allowed in murder case - black boyfriend accused of bludgeoning white girlfriend to death with cinder block  TAMPA - A Hillsborough County Circuit Court Judge decided to allow testimony related to the sexual history of the defendant and witnesses in the case. Defense attorneys for Michael Fields, who is accused of killing his girlfriend, were in court arguing to allow the evidence related to the sexual history of the couple with whom Fields lived. Hillsborough Circuit Judge Thomas Barber said the evidence being presented for use by the defense was "salacious" and "embarrassing." The evidence in question relates to the couple Michael Fields was living with at the time his girlfriend, Christina Mahzamani, died after being beaten with a concrete block. Patricia and Gary Dickerson are considered "swingers" and had a sexual relationship with Micahel Fields while he lived with them. Assistant State Attorney Ron Gale explained in court "there is evidence of a sexual relationship that existed between Mr. Fields with Mrs. Dickerson, and possibly Mr. Dickerson as well." - (Black-on-white) |

2 (blacks) arraigned in 2010 Taunton murder (of White man)  Two Taunton men faced a judge Tuesday charged with murder in connection to a 2010 cold case in the city. Not guilty pleas were entered on behalf of Jeremy Rhodes, 25, and Donnelle Bates, 26. The men are accused of shooting and killing Joseph Dugan, 33, outside his friend’s apartment on Granite Street. In court prosecutors said state and local police were able to make the arrests after Bates’ uncle implicated him in the murder. Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn, who personally handled the arraignments, says there are text messages and eye witness testimony that also link the men to the case. The D.A. also spoke of a possible motive for the murder saying it could have been retaliation for the stabbing death of Taunton teen Tigan Hollinsworth a few weeks earlier. He added the shooting appears to be a case of mistaken identity because the victim, Dugan, had no known connection to the Hollinsworth murder. "There does not appear to be a connection between the victim and these two defendants, but things have to play out in court with respect to those issues,” Quinn told reporters outside court. Captain John Rearden was an officer on scene the night of July 7th. He never gave up trying to find answers for Dugan’s loved ones. “They gave me a picture of Joey and every day I saw that picture of Joey and this is emotional for me. I'm so happy,” he said. Several other people have charged in the case for misleading police. Bates and Rhoden were both held without bail during their arraignments and are due back in court in January. - (Black-on-white) |

(Black fag) wants new trial 30 years after torture, homo rape and murder of (White) boy scout  WARREN, Ohio - More than thirty years after a 12-year-old boy scout was tortured, raped and murdered in Warren, the story continues making news headlines. The man on Ohio's death row for the crime asked a judge for permission to file for another trial for the kidnapping, rape and murder of Raymond Fife in 1985. The attorney for 48-year-old Danny Lee Hill claims that new evidence has been uncovered that would impact Hill's right to a fair trial. Background – Caution: Some readers may find some details the following court record account disturbing. According to court records, on September 10, 1985, at approximately 5:15 p.m., Raymond Fife left home on his bicycle to visit a friend, Billy Simmons. After learning that the twelve-year-old had not arrived at his friend's home by 5:50 p.m., Fife's family began searching for him. Raymond Fife's father found his son more than four hours later in a wooded field behind the Valu-King supermarket on Palmyra road. The child was naked and appeared to have been severely beaten and his face was burned. Raymond's underwear was found tied around his neck and appeared to have been lit on fire. Raymond died in the hospital two days later. The coroner, who ruled Raymond's death a homicide, testified during the trial that the victim had been choked and had a hemorrhage in his brain. The coroner also said that Fife sustained several burns, damage to his rectal-bladder area and bite marks on his penis. - (Black-on-white) |

(Black man) Reynolds guilty of (White) man’s murder at group home  Rejecting the claim that Lecorius Reynolds did not know his actions’ wrongfulness, a Lucas County judge found the Toledo man guilty of murder in the 2014 death of a fellow resident of a South Toledo group home. Reynolds, 35, of the 100 block of Dale Street, faces life in prison with parole eligibility after 15 years when he is sentenced Jan. 20 by Common Pleas Judge Myron Duhart. Earlier this month, Judge Duhart presided over a bench trial in which Reynolds was charged with alternate counts of murder for stabbing and beating to death Roy Roberts, 51. While Reynolds had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity and, as an alternative, contended he was acting in self-defense when he assaulted Mr. Roberts, Judge Duhart rejected both claims. The insanity plea required a finding that Reynolds suffered from a mental disease or defect so severe he did not know that what he was doing was wrong. The self-defense claim required him to show he was in danger of great bodily harm or death when he assaulted Mr. Roberts. “Mr. Reynolds, you cannot escape responsibility for what you know is wrong,” the judge said. About 9 p.m. May 2, 2014, police responded to a report of a nude body struck by a train on Norfolk Southern tracks at Airline Avenue and Gibbons Street, thinking it could have been a suicide. But officers immediately noticed very little blood at the scene, prompting them to surmise that the victim had been killed somewhere else. As it turned out, blood and DNA evidence revealed Reynolds had attacked Mr. Roberts at the Dale Street group home where they both lived, placed his body in a Toledo recycling bin and wheeled it to the tracks a couple blocks away, and dumped it. In a video-recorded police interrogation shown during the trial, Reynolds at first denied any involvement with Mr. Roberts' death, but then said he had beaten Mr. Roberts after the victim made sexual advances toward him. Judge Duhart said he carefully weighed the testimony of two mental health experts who testified at Reynolds’ trial: one said Reynolds lacked a rational motive, and the other who said he had engaged in “goal-oriented behavior.” “That means Mr. Reynolds was acting in such a way at the time of the assault that he was avoiding or attempting to avoid detection of a crime,” the judge said. “This court is going to note a number of things … washing a knife, moving a body, operating in such a way as to conceal blood on a bed, bloody clothes.” Last year, Reynolds was found incompetent to stand trial, but he was later deemed restored to competency after a lengthy hospitalization at Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare in Columbus. - (Black-on-white) |

Coffee remains hospitalized with wounds to the torso and leg. - (Black-on-white) |

Life sentence upheld in 2012 double homicide at Wichita Dollar General    The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday upheld the capital murder conviction of a Wichita man who shot and killed an employee of a Dollar General Store and a grandfather shopping inside in 2012. Marquis J. Marshall, in his appeal, claimed he didn’t get a fair trial when he was tried for the Nov. 30 slayings of Zachary Hunt and Henry Harvey because Sedgwick County District Court officials didn’t order him to undergo a competency evaluation or look more deeply into his requests for a new lawyer. He also claimed a judge misspoke when he read instructions for deliberations to his jury. But justices, in a unanimous decision, rejected those arguments, saying they found no evidence to support Marshall’s claims. Marshall walked into the Dollar General at 13th and Oliver in Wichita shortly after 8 p.m. the night of the shootings with a 22-caliber gun in hand. He shot Hunt, who was ringing up Harvey’s purchases, three times and then fired three more rounds into Harvey’s back. Harvey had gone to Dollar General to purchase candy for his grandchildren. - (Black-on-white) |

(Black) Man charged in killings of (adulterous white) girlfriend, and a Baltimore woman that let him in   BALTIMORE —A man charged with murdering his girlfriend in Essex was also charged in a second killing in Baltimore City, police said. Baltimore County police said Terrence L. Jenkins, 49, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Shelly Fillion, who was found Monday at her house on Skipjack Court in Essex. Police said Fillion had suffered traumatic injuries. Police on Monday did not specify a motive, but quickly identified a suspect in the case. A break in the case came Thursday when police received a tip that someone saw Jenkins making a phone call from a house in the 3600 block of Pulaski Highway in east Baltimore. County police set up surveillance across the street at a motel, and while doing so, officers watched Jenkins walk up to a house, where a woman let him in. "We did not know what his connection was to that house, if anything. We suspected that perhaps someone was harboring him there," Baltimore County police spokeswoman Elise Armacost said. Police waited for Jenkins to exit, and when he did, they gave chase. Inside the house, police found the woman who let Jenkins inside dead. City police announced Friday evening that Jenkins was charged with murder. City police said county police found the victim after they obtained a search and seizure warrant for the location. Evidence at the scene included obvious signs of trauma, leading investigators to believe the case is a homicide, police said. - (Black-on-white) |

(Black) Driver in fatal Hagerstown hit-and-run gets 8 years in prison - for slaughtering White motorcyclist  Members of Darren E. Reeder's family wept in a courtroom Wednesday as the prosecution recounted the events of Sept. 14, 2014, the night that the 33-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Hagerstown. The driver of the vehicle that struck Reeder, Nathaniel W. Hart, 50, of Shippensburg, Pa., was sentenced in Washington County Circuit Court to 13 years in state prison, with five years suspended. Circuit Judge Donald E. Beachley's sentence followed guilty pleas entered by Hart to negligent manslaughter by vehicle and failing to remain at the scene of an accident causing serious injury or death. Hart also was ordered to pay $2,277 in restitution to Reeder's family, many of whom were in attendance in the Hagerstown courtroom. "The state is pleased with the sentence," Deputy State's Attorney Gina Cirincion said afterward. "We hope that this brings some relief to DJ's family. We know this pain will continue. We wish we could do more." - (Black-on-white) |

Multiracial Woman Suspected of Murdering (White) Adoptive Mother After Discovery of Human Remains in Garage  The adopted daughter of a slain 90-year-old woman in El Cerrito is being considered a suspect in her murder and police on Wednesday asked for the public's help in finding her. El Cerrito police said 50-year-old Alicia Osibin — or Lisa as she known — is being considered a suspect in a murder based on concealed human remains that were found in her former residence on Dec. 2, police said. On Nov. 27, the day after Thanksgiving, relatives said they could not reach the victim, identified as Mary Osibin. So police initially began investigating reports that she was missing. The investigation led to a home on the 1000 block of Leneve Place, where a search done by various local law enforcement agencies yielded the discovery of human remains stored in a garbage barrel in the garage, police said. The remains were Mary Osibin's and the cause of her death was multiple gunshot wounds - investigators believe the crime occurred several months ago. Police describe Osibin as a heavy-set woman who stands at 5 feet 8 inches tall and is known to dress in traditionally masculine attire. - (Black-on-white) |

It is believed to have been used as a getaway vehicle the night Bogle's body was driven to the Sumerton Apartment complex in Clyde.

The sheriff's office has shared a picture of suspect Omar Satchel taking a selfie in a white SUV. Bogle, 28, was found beaten and shot to death in the trunk of her car in April. Back in September, Investigators named Omar Satchel and Keyona Bor as suspects in the case.

(White) St. Paul mom's slaying was first of violent spree - charges against 3 blacks and a girlfriend  A night of terror began in St. Paul and ended in Minneapolis on a Sunday in October, with suspects confronting nine people at gunpoint, killing two of them, the Hennepin County attorney announced Tuesday after weeks of investigation. The attacks appeared random. The first to die was Sarah Anne Wierstad, a 24-year-old mother returning to her St. Paul residence. She apparently interrupted a burglary, and one of the suspects is accused of shooting her outside her home. Julie Zietlow felt sick when she heard that the four people who were charged in October in her daughter's death are now accused in a Minneapolis crime spree in the three hours after Wierstad lost her life. "I don't want them ever to be released again," Zietlow said Tuesday. Mike Freeman, who called the case "one of the most violent rampages I have seen in my nearly 18 years as county attorney," said he's looking for the same for the four people. He said his office is working closely with the Ramsey County attorney's office "to make sure that, if convicted, they spend the rest of their lives in prison." The Ramsey County attorney's office quickly filed charges, saying Albert George McIntosh, 31, of Minneapolis was the man who had shot Wierstad. They charged him with murder. Prosecutors charged Alvin Rudolph Bell Jr., 25, of St. Louis Park, with aiding and abetting murder and Isiah Lee Harper, 26, of Minneapolis, with aggravated robbery and burglary. Michelle Lee Koester, 42, of Minneapolis was accused of misleading and obstructing investigators. - (Black-on-white) |

(White) Boy escapes (black) would-be kidnapper in Liberty County, suspect on the run LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas - People in Liberty County are concerned after a man tried to kidnap a 7-year-old boy near his home Tuesday. Investigators think the same man may have raped a woman and tried to kidnap another. The incidents happened in Dayton along County road 48-82 and FM 1413. Heather Gordon has three children and like most, the thought of losing one of them is indescribable. "At night I hold him tight because he could've been gone," she said. Investigators said 7-year-old Luke was walking down the road to a friend's house when a red truck pulled up. "The guy told Luke 'Well come on, I'll take you for a joy ride,'" Gordon said. Detectives said the man grabbed the boy's shoulder and tried to pull him into the truck and his mother saw it happen. "I fell to my knees. I was shaking so bad," Gordon said. "I was running down there crying, hollering his name, he wasn't answering." Thankfully, Luke broke free and ran immediately to a neighbor's home. The denoscription of the suspect and his red pick up is vague but investigators believe the man driving the car is also responsible for the rape of a 30-year-old woman somewhere along FM 1413, just west of Dayton. Investigators said a man driving a similar pick up has twice tried to lure a woman into his truck while she was jogging near her home in Liberty. "The similarities between the black male driving the red truck is so close and similar, it's possible these three are tied together," said Captain Ken DeFoor of the Liberty County Sheriff's Office. - (Black-on-white) |
