Miller then set fire to Cannon and his home in an attempt to cover up his crime. He was only 14 years old at the time and was sentenced as an adult to mandatory life without parole — nine years later his case would become a landmark for the juvenile justice system. “Mandatory life without parole for a juvenile precludes consideration of his chronological age and its]]> https://hunewsservice.com/news/national/jayland-walker-was-shot-over-40-times-by-akron-police-none-of-the-officers-were-indicted/ Sat, 22 Apr 2023 21:50:26 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=15525   By Chrisleen Herard Howard University News Service Of the 94 bullets that flew into the air, it is unclear which one took the life of 25-year-old Jayland Walker as he ran from police in Akron, Ohio, after a traffic stop on June 27, 2022. Suffering from grazes, entrance wounds and blood loss, Walker was left on the ground dying in handcuffs. Months later, a grand jury decided not to indict any of the eight officers directly involved in his death.  “I was hopeful that one or two of them, for sure, would be indicted simply because, in my mind,]]> https://hunewsservice.com/news/national/nashville-school-shooter-warns-friend-moments-before-opening-fire/ Wed, 29 Mar 2023 13:14:28 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=15437 By Chrisleen Herard Howard University News Service Aiden Hale, who was legally born Audrey Elizabeth Hale, had a map of the Nashville Christian school he once attended, detailing its surveillance cameras and entry points. The map allowed the 28-year-old to gain access to The Covenant School, where he was accused of taking six lives on Monday.  “It’s just sick,” President Joe Biden said, hours after the shooting took place. “It’s heartbreaking. A family’s worst nightmare.” Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, all 9-year-olds, died when Hale began firing rounds through the school’s side doors.

It was all he talked about, a moment he waited for his whole life until the early hours of July 3, 2022, when he was pulled over by police – the last time he would be seen alive.  Seven weeks later, his daughter was born. “He was just trying to do anything to]]> https://hunewsservice.com/news/national/remembering-tyre-nichols/ Tue, 07 Feb 2023 23:23:25 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=15185 By Chrisleen Herard Howard University News Service Tyre Nichols was a 29-year-old father and FedEx worker who loved skateboarding, taking pictures of the sunset and most of all his mother, whose name, tattooed on his arm, would be one of the last Nichols called out as he was being brutally beaten to death by five Memphis police officers on the night of Jan. 7. “It’s funny, you know, he always said he was going to be famous one day,” Nichols’ mother, RowVaughn Wells, said last Friday in a news conference as his supporters continue to demonstrate around the country. “I]]> https://hunewsservice.com/crime/man-who-fatally-shot-13-year-old-karon-blake-remains-unnamed-and-unarrested/ Tue, 24 Jan 2023 02:48:55 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=15120   By Chrisleen Herard Howard University News Service Karon Blake was not tucked, sleeping in bed during the early hours of Jan. 7, nor was he staying up late watching cartoons in hopes that his mother wouldn’t catch him or playing quietly with his three younger siblings. The 13-year-old was instead suffering from gunshot wounds down the very street where he attended Brookland Middle School, a familiar building he wouldn’t set foot in again after sunrise hit that day. “He was the nicest boy in my class,” a former classmate tearfully said at one of Blake’s vigils, leading up to]]> https://hunewsservice.com/variety/health/deedees-cry/ Fri, 04 Nov 2022 02:36:43 +0000 http://hunewsservice.com/?p=14384 By Chrisleen Herard Howard University News Service Denita Shayne Morris committed suicide when she was just 23 years old. In March of 1986, Morris hung herself in her apartment in Mattapan, Boston, with her 2-year-old son inside. Neighbors eventually called police due to the decomposing smell that lingered from her cadaver; her body’s last cry out for help that would eventually start an organization under her name 21 years later. “When DeeDee died I was 19, and it wasn’t her first attempt,” her sister, Toy Burton said, “She had prior attempts, but at that time I thought she was okay.]]>
