The reason behind the gruesome killing remains unknown and the killers are not yet identified.

Family members and neighbors describe sweet Trinity as the sweetest girl ever. Joyous, outgoing, beautiful and intelligent are just some of the attributes this cute girl possessed, and she’s now gone without being guilty of anything.

“My beautiful niece, Trinity [Randolph] was murdered at her grandmother’s home, shot to death at only 3 years old,” Tyasia Lashay wrote on the GoFundMe page the family set up.

“A fun loving energetic soul whose life was snatched along with her fathers. This was very unexpected,” she added.

Tyronn Howlett, the girl’s grandpa and Waddles’ father, told WLKY News, “Children don’t have anything to do with it. They are innocent people, and they should never be in whatever an adult has going on between that.” Waddles was a musician who went by the name “DareallilB.”

The funeral of the father and the daughter will be paid for by rapper and businessman Master P. Speaking to Courier Journal he said, “This a 3-year-old innocent girl that’s gone from her family, from her future, somebody who could have come out of the community and be the next president, doctor, lawyer, teacher.”

The community is asking from the police to investigate the case and says how things are getting serious as this is the 16th fatal shooting in the area between August 1st and August 14th.

We are very sorry for the loss of two beautiful souls who left this world way too early. Our thoughts are with the family. Trinity and Brandon left behind their loving mother and wife and their 1-month-old baby brother and son.

Teen stabbed to death by intruder while trying to protect his 5-year-old sister – rest in peace

Not all heroes wear capes, and brave Khyler Edman is just the perfect example of that. This incredibly devoted young man lost his life while protecting that of his little sister after an intruder entered their home carrying a gun.

When the man pointed the weapon to Khyler and the 5-year-old girl, Khyler tried defending them with a knife but sustained multiple gunshots and died in front of his sister’s eyes.

The intruder had broken into other people’s homes before he killed Khyler and the police was investigating the armed robberies when they accidentally found the lifeless body of the teen. The killer was later identified as 27-year-old Ryan Cole. He had his victim’s blood on his shirt when he got arrested.

Khyler’s mom was devastated when she learned her son died in such a senseless attack and wrote on Facebook, “A piece of my heart will forever be missing!!”

In the meantime, the family set up a GoFundMe page, hoping Khyler would get the burial he deserved. “My son had a long life ahead of him, that was taken too soon,” the mom said on the page. People from all over the country donated and over $87,000 was raised.

GoFundMe

A representative of the school Khyler attended, Charlotte County Public Schools, told CNN, “Khyler laid his life down to save his baby sister and showed his community how much of a hero he was.” The whole community paid tribute to the brave young man who stood for his sister and lost his life defending her. Over 100 people lit candles and sang “Amazing Grace” in Khyler’s honor.

The killing took place in September of 2019, and Cole was charged with First Degree Burglary with Battery, Burglary of a Dwelling, and First Degree Murder in December.

In January of 2020, State Attorney Amira Fox announced they would be asking for a death penalty for Cole who had been arrested over 20 times for drug abuse and burglary prior to the murder of the teen. This all led to a proposal called “Khyler’s Law” which asks repeat offenders to be given stronger sentences.

Our heart goes out to Khyler’s family. He died a hero, may he rests in peace.

Women hear whining coming from a bush believing someone abandoned puppies – discover twin newborn babies instead

Some people dream of having a child their whole life but don’t get to experience the joy of being parents, while others who are blessed with that gift refuse to take care of their bundles of joy and even dump them as a piece of furniture that has served its purpose. The latter definitely don’t deserve to be called parents, but monsters.

A group of women from Curitiba, in the southern Brazilian state of Parana, were taking a walk when they heard strange noises coming from a bush. They were certain someone dumped newborn puppies there, but when they took a closer look, they were shocked to see two newborn babies.

The women called the police, and the twins, whose umbilical cords were still attached, were transferred to the nearest hospital. Tamara Ribeiro, one of the women who found the baby girls spoke to the Mirror and said, “I thought they were a dog and when I looked at them I realized they were two babies.”

The girls were in a good condition but stayed at the hospital for some time just to get strong enough before being put up for adoption.

Tamara and her friends named the babies Eloa, which means “God,” and Heloisa, which means “Warrior Woman,” because as they said, the sweet newborns were real miracles who managed to survive even though they were less than a day old when they were cruelly abandoned.

We are very thankful the cute babies were found just in time to be given a new lease on life and we hope they will have amazing lives in the future with families that will love them unconditionally.

Florida mom shot dead during daughter’s first Zoom class as teacher and students watch in horror

A 10-year-old girl from Florida who was looking forward to seeing her teacher and friends again during the first Zoom class for this years was left in shock as she witnessed her mother being murdered. The teacher and the girl’s classmates who attended the meeting witnessed the whole thing as they watched in horror.

The mother, 32-year-old Maribel Rosado Morales got into a row with her ex-boyfriend, 27-year-old Donald J. Williams, over some video. As the two argued, he pulled a gun and shot Morales who was taken to a hospital where she died.

The tragedy took place at 8 in the morning, on Tuesday, August 11. There were six children in the house at the moment of the shooting.

Soon after the incident, Williams was taken into custody with the charges of first-degree murder.

The teacher at Warfield Elementary School witnessed the murder. In a press conference on Tuesday, August 11, William Snyder, Martin County Sheriff said, “The teacher’s online — I’ve never done a Zoom with children, so I’m picturing there’s other children on — and the teacher can see the children. The teacher said she heard a commotion, heard profanity.”

“Realized there was some type of domestic altercation. Still could see the child that’s online. The teacher said she mutes her button so nobody has to hear it and then she sees the 10-year-old put her hands up to her ears,” he continued.

“Almost immediately after the child put her hands up to her ears, the computer screen went blank. We know the computer was hit with a projectile,” he added.

Morales’ fiancé was with her on the phone when she told him Williams entered her place. He told her to call the police, but things escalated quickly. “Why? She didn’t do nothing. Why? She didn’t deserve it. I wasn’t there to save her. I wasn’t there,” he said.

According to reports, Morales was shot multiple times and none of her four children nor two of their cousins present sustained any physical injuries, but the scene of their mother an aunt being killed before their eyes will probably stay with them for a very long time.

The spokesperson of Martin County School District expressed condolences on the behalf of the school.

“Our deepest sympathies and condolences go out to the family and children who were witnesses to this heartbreaking and senseless tragedy. The incident is still under active investigation by law enforcement, and we will continue to respect the privacy of the teacher and our students,” he was reported saying, according to NBC.

GoFundMe

Relatives and friends of the family set up a GoFundMe page that would help the kids. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. We hope they would be able to overcome this tragedy with time, as for their mother’s killer, we hope he rots in Hell.

Peter Falk, who played famous detective Columbo, ‘couldn’t remember’ his award-winning role near end of his life

When Peter Falk was in his 20s, he was a restless young man who showed interest in joining in a community theater group. Who knew that this decision would later lead for this man to portray the character of one of the most famous TV detectives, Columbo.

Throughout the years, Falk played many roles in different movies and on stage, but somehow, he would remain a synonym of the cigar-chomping detective wearing a raincoat and solving cases and mysteries thanks to his wisdom. Well, the wisdom of his wife, who never really showed on screen, as well.

He later played the role of the vicious killer Abe Reles in Murder, Inc and starred along with Bette Davis in Pocketful of Miracles.

Sadly, this Emmy-awarded and Oscar-nominated actor passed away in 2011. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease but the reason of his passing were complications due to pneumonia.

When he was just three years old, Falk had cancer and lost his eye as a result of that. It was the reason why he was told by many at the beginning of his acting career not to expect much. However, he proved everyone wrong and made a name for himself.

Doctor Stephen Read who treated Falk throughout the years shared some heart-breaking news with the fans. He said that due to the Alzheimer’s, Falk had hard times remembering he played the famous detective Columbo.

Take a look at a scene from the famous series below and share it with fans.

Soldier’s girlfriend sells his dog of many years on Craigslist while he is deployed

A soldier named Robert Gabbert learned that his girlfriend from Hell did the most outrageous thing while he was deployed. Believe it or not, she sold his dog of many years, Baxter, on Craigslist.

Robert couldn’t believe his best friend now belonged to someone else. Of course, he was determined to do all in his power to get him back, but things didn’t really go as smooth as planed.

Facebook

The thing was that the family that bought Baxter got too attached to him, especially the kids. So, they didn’t plan on returning him to his rightful owner.

Facebook

Thankfully, with the help of the social media, they eventually changed their mind and realized that Baxter belonged to Robert. Namely, the word of what happened to Robert spread around and more and more people stood by his side, asking for him and Baxter to be reunited.

“I think the people that bought the dog read the stories and felt bad,” said Robert’s dad, Mr. Gabbert.

Facebook

“I guess, there’s been so many people supporting Robbie, that the family came forward with the dog and they’re going to return it,” he added.

Facebook

Robert was over the moon when he learned his pal would be home again.

This soldier’s Facebook page is full of cute photos of him and Baxter hanging around and sharing precious moments together. That was one of the reasons why people wanted for them to be together again, so that they can enjoy their days as they used to.

The good thing is that the family who bought and later returned Baxter will get to choose another dog and Mr. Gabbert is paying for it. It’s his way to thank them for doing the right thing.

“I do feel bad for them. They bought him and didn’t know that he wasn’t hers to sell. The kids should have a dog,” he said.

We don’t know what happened to the girlfriend who created this whole mass, but we hope she’s no longer part of Robert’s life.
