A 16-year-old boy stabbed his father to death at his family’s store, cleaned up his tracks and went to school, Indiana investigators say.

Fort Wayne police found 52-year-old Tawfika Al-Malahi dead — his torso, neck and head covered in wounds — at his convenience store, on the morning of Feb. 7, according to Allen County court documents. Someone stabbed him 45 times, cut his throat and bludgeoned his head, with some of the damage having been done after he was dead.

The camera surveillance system was unplugged from its recording device and the cash register opened, as if the store had been robbed, documents said. These were attempts to stage the scene, detectives would later learn.

When investigators spoke with Al-Malahi’s son, he told them he had been at school since 8 a.m., documents said. But a look at Northrop High School’s attendance records showed the teen didn’t arrive until 11:40 a.m.

While no video was captured inside the store itself, investigators rounded up footage from a city bus and an elementary school that allowed them to track the teen’s movements, according to investigators.

Video taken outside the elementary school showed the teen riding a bike up to a dumpster around 11 a.m. and tossing in a garbage bag, documents said. Inside the bag, detectives found the missing DVR for the store’s camera system, two knives, clothes, plastic gloves, an empty bottle of bleach, and “a metal device” with bits of skin and hair sticking to it.

Sitting in an interview room with police, Al-Malahi’s son said he killed him, according to court documents.

The night prior to the killing, he left a door to the store unlocked, allowing him to slip in unnoticed in the morning before his father, documents said.

He hid behind a table and waited, he told detectives. When Al-Malahi arrived, he walked right past his son having no idea he was there until an arm reached out from behind and pulled him backward, while another plunged a knife into his back again and again, according to court documents.

It was his mother’s knife, the teen told investigators.

Next he battered his dad’s head with a piece of metal, documents read. The man fell to the floor, facing up, and his son drove the knife into his chest several times more before cutting his throat.

Then he went about cleaning the scene and getting rid of what evidence he could, documents read. He also took the money out of the cash register to make it look like a robbery.

Police charged the teen with murder and he was taken to the Allen County Juvenile Center. No motive was provided for the killing in court documents.

Ahmed Al-Malahi Other News

Police have charged a 16-year-old boy as an adult with murder in the stabbing death of his father at a southeast Fort Wayne convenience store last week.

According to court documents, Ahmed Al-Malahi was taken to Allen County Juvenile Center after confessing to detectives what happened the morning of Feb. 7.

Fort Wayne Police found a man dead at the One Stop Store on Creighton Avenue just before 5 p.m. on Feb. 7. That man was later identified as 52-year-old Tawfika Al-Malahi.

When police initially spoke to Ahmed Al-Malahi the night of his father’s death, he said he went to school at 8 a.m. that morning and was not at the store. According to court documents, police believe he was “openly deceitful” about where he was at the time of the murder.

But on Feb. 8, detectives brought him in for an interview and his story changed.

Ahmed Al-Malahi eventually told detectives he had closed his father’s store the night of Feb. 6 and left the door unlocked “so that he could get inside to do this to his father the next day,” according to court documents.

Ahmed Al-Malahi said he walked back to the store Feb. 7 and hid behind a small table to wait for his father. Ahmed Al-Malahi said when his father came in around 9 a.m., he stood up and grabbed him, stabbing him in the back with a knife multiple times. He said he got the knife at home and it belonged to his mother.

Ahmed Al-Malahi went on to say he used a piece of metal to hit his father in the back of the head. When his father fell to the ground, Ahmed Al-Malahi stabbed him again multiple times before cutting his throat with the knife.

The coroner reported Tawfika Al-Malahi had about 45 stab wounds, as well as a deep laceration on his neck and a large skull fracture that both appeared to be inflicted after he was already dead.

Teen Jonathan Rolfe Charged With 3 Murders

Jonathan Rolfe

Jonathan Rolfe is a seventeen year old alleged teen killer from Arkansas who has been charged with the murders of three people including his mother and sister. According to police reports Jonathan Rolfe (pictured in the middle) would shoot and kill mother Shalanda Barton, 34, and Ja’Terrence Wright, 32, who were in their bed and his sister Kelsie Thompson, 13, who was found dead on a bedroom floor. Police are still searching for a motive in the triple killing. Jonathan Rolfe has been charged with three counts of capital murder.

Jonathan Rolfe More News

A 17-year-old has been arrested and charged with the murder of three people in St. Francis, Arkansas.

According to a report from the St. Francis County Sheriff, a family member requested a welfare check on Nov. 28 after being told that a shooting had happened at a home on Gore Street in Crow Creek, outside Forrest City.

When officers couldn’t make contact with anyone inside, they forced entry.

Once inside, deputies found the bodies of three people who had been shot dead. Family members and deputies identified the victims as 12-year-old Kelsie Thompson, 34-year-old Shalanda Barton, and 31-year-old Ja’Terrance Wright.

A 4-year-old girl who was in the house during the shootings was not injured.

While investigating, multiple shell casings were found inside the home. Investigators also later discovered that Barton’s black Cadillac was parked near the home of the suspect’s girlfriend.

Evidence collected by investigators was tested and matched with 17-year-old Jonathan Rolfe.

On Tuesday, Rolfe was arrested and charged with three counts of capital murder and one count of theft of property.

Thursday’s press conference was an emotional time for family members.

“I’m happy that this process for justice is beginning. I do understand it is an arduous process that will be quite lengthy,” said JaTerrance Wright’s cousin Clerece Jackson.

Jackson said her cousin and Shalonda Barton had been dating for about a year.

No motive has been given but Jackson said what Rolfe is accused of is nothing short of heartbreaking.

“I understand that Ja’Terrance was a stranger to him, however, to know that he could kill his mother and sibling in cold blood, in such a way, is really hard to wrap my mind and understand that,” Jackson said.

Rolfe is being held without bond in the Craighead County Juvenile Detention Center in Jonesboro, Arkansas until he is returned to St. Francis County.

Aiden Fucci Pleads Guilty To Tristyn Bailey Murder

Tristyn Bailey Aiden Fucci

Aiden Fucci the teen killer from Florida has plead guilty to the murder of thirteen year old Tristyn Bailey. According to court documents Aiden Fucci would stab Tristyn Bailey more than a hundred times before throwing her body into the woods. Aiden Fucci trial was set to start when the teen killer suddenly pleaded guilty. As there was no sentencing guidelines as part of the plea deal Aiden Fucci will be sentenced later this month or early March.

Aiden Fucci More News

Aiden Fucci, the Florida teen who was set to stand trial for the brutal 2021 murder of 13-year-old Tristyn Bailey on Monday, has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in her fatal stabbing.

Fucci, 16, entered the plea in St. Johns County Courthouse just before jury selection was set to begin, News4Jax, Click Orlando and First Coast News report.

“I just want to apologize to the Bailey family,” Fucci said after changing his plea from not guilty, News4Jax reports.

Fucci faces a sentence of life in prison with a minimum of 40 years.

Fourteen at the time of the murder, Fucci was charged as an adult with first-degree murder in the stabbing of the 13-year-old cheerleader, who was found dead in the woods near her house on Mother’s Day 2021.

Tristyn was found dead on May 9, 2021, after her parents reported her missing.

Tristyn had been stabbed 114 times, with at least 49 stab wounds to her hands, arms, and head that were “defensive in nature,” 7th Judicial Circuit State Attorney R.J. Larizza, told reporters at a press conference at the time.

Fucci was arrested on May 10, 2021, and subsequently made several “admissions” of guilt, according to his arrest report.

Authorities said they found his clothing stained with blood as well as a hunting knife believed to be the murder weapon in a nearby pond.

Days before Tristyn’s killing, Fucci told friends that he planned to kill someone, though he didn’t specify whom, Larizza said.

“He indicated to witnesses that he was going to kill someone by taking them in the woods and stabbing them,” Larizza said.

After his arrest, Fucci posted to social media a selfie of himself in the back of a patrol car referencing Tristyn. In the photo, Fucci is seen giving a peace sign. The photo has the caption: “Hey guys has anybody seen Tristyn lately?”

During a pre-trial conference via video from a room in the Duval County Jail, Fucci was also heard talking about demons, saying, “Please don’t let the demons take my soul. The demons are going to take my soul away.”

Fucci then asked, “What’s going on?” and then says, “Why am I here? I just want to talk to my mom and dad. What’s going? What’s going on?”

Fucci’s mother, Crystal Smith, is charged with tampering with evidence in her son’s murder case, allegedly for washing blood off her son’s jeans.

Attorneys for Fucci and his mother did not immediately return PEOPLE’s requests for comment.

Fucci is scheduled to return to court on Feb. 23 for a hearing to discuss sentencing.

Levi Norwood Gets Life For Double Murder

Levi Norwood

Levi Norwood was seventeen years old when he would murder his mother and his little brother in Virginia. Now the teen killer will spend the rest of his life in prison however due to laws in Virginia he will be eligible for parole after 20 years due to his age when the double murder was committed.

According to court documents Levi Norwood would fatally shoot his mother Jennifer Norwood and his six year old brother Wyatt Norwood. Levi Norwood would attempt to murder his father.

Levi Norwood would be arrested and charged with the double murder and would ultimately plead guilty

Levi Norwood More News

Nearly three years after he murdered his mother and 6-year-old brother, a judge sentenced Levi Norwood to life in prison plus 40 years for the Feb. 14, 2020, double homicide in Midland. He will be eligible for parole in 20 years because he was a juvenile at the time of the offense; he is now 20 years old.

Norwood, a 17-year-old Liberty High School student at the time of the murders, pleaded guilty in August to murdering his mother, Jennifer Norwood, 34, and brother, Wyatt Norwood. He also admitted to trying to kill his father, Joshua Norwood, 37, but the shots intended for his father missed. Levi Norwood stole a car at a nearby house and fled to North Carolina, where he was found and taken into custody. Joshua Norwood killed himself two months later.

Circuit Judge James Fisher announced the sentence at the conclusion of a 1 ½ hour hearing Tuesday morning. It was the first time prosecutors played for the court a video recorded in a Durham, North Carolina interrogation room after Levi Norwood was arrested. The video was referenced in written narrative filed with the plea agreement, but only small excerpts from Norwood’s statements had previously been made public.

Norwood did not take the stand Tuesday and has never testified in open court since his arrest.

In the video from the North Carolina interrogation room, Norwood is alone in the small room, handcuffed and sitting in a chair. After about 20 minutes of silence, he sees the security camera and begins to mumble to himself, eventually raising his voice to an audible level to recount the murders in excruciating detail over an hour of rambling, sometimes unintelligible monologue.

Norwood says in the video that he killed his parents because they would not let him be romantically involved with a girl whom they felt was worsening his mental state. Because his parents were “taking his life away” by refusing to let him be with the girl, he said, killing them “is self defense,” he says. “I did it all just so I would see [the girl],” he says at another point, explaining that he planned to run away with her after murdering his family.

The only regret he expresses is his failure to kill his father, whom Levi Norwood shot at and missed before fleeing the scene. “All they had to do was just emancipate me,” he says at another point. “This would have never happened to them.”

Why he killed his 6-year-old brother is less clear. Norwood said at one point it was to save him from “rape and abuse in an orphanage.” But while he admits that it was “kind of sad” to kill his brother, he at other points appeared to relish the act. Wyatt “will never get to enjoy his Valentine’s Day or birthday or any of the other things in life, because I killed him.” (According to prosecutors, Norwood told a psychiatrist during a later evaluation that he killed Wyatt to “punish” his parents.)

Throughout the monologue, Norwood jokes and chuckles about the more gruesome details of the murders.

He muses at various times about what version of “insane” he might be diagnosed with, whether he will be sent to a juvenile or adult prison and what last meal he should choose if he is sentenced to death. At other times, he appears to address imaginary friends with names like “Smiley,” “Viper” and “Zero.” Looking around the room, he says, “I like this. It’s fun. It’s fitting for me.” He says that the murders “actually helped” his anxiety.

“Why is it so enjoyable killing people?” he muses. “It just feels right.”

He often repeats his frustration about his own mental state. “I wish I could feel f—— emotion,” Norwood says at one point. “I want to be normal.” But like in many parts of the monologue, he quickly changes the subject. “At least I don’t have to worry about my math grade anymore.”

Norwood’s attorney, public defender Ryan Ruzic, did not dispute any of the facts surrounding the murders themselves. But Ruzic pointed out that Norwood alleged to a doctor after the murders that his father had physically and mentally abused him from a young age, asking the judge to consider those allegations when imposing a sentence.

Joshua Norwood allegedly forced a “very young” Levi to kill small animals, insulting him when he was reluctant to participate. Joshua Norwood allegedly threatened to kill his son if he ever dated a Black girl — or was gay — sometimes pointing a gun at his son to make the point. The father allegedly beat Levi in a hardware store with a crowbar in a fit of rage. Joshua Norwood allegedly “actively resisted” attempts by other family members to get Levi mental health treatment.

Ruzic said that Joshua Norwood’s alleged treatment of his son made it “almost inescapable” that, especially with severe mental health issues left untreated, Levi would engage eventually in some kind of violence. “This is not a crime that came out of nowhere,” Ruzic argued, adding that Levi grew up in an “extremely racist … abusive and demeaning” home environment because of his father.

“Society, had we known what was happening, maybe could have stopped it,” Ruzic said. “In many ways, [Levi] is indeed a victim.”

The prosecutor, Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Hook, successfully rebutted Ruzic’s arguments for leniency, however. Even if his “dad was the worst person, Levi has taken his place,” Hook argued. “I would argue that Levi is worse than any way they portray his father.”

And, Hook said, Norwood only alleged the years of parental abuse after he was arrested. The murders were not about any alleged abuse, Hook said, pointing out that the monologue from the North Carolina interrogation room made no mention of any alleged abuse. Instead, Hook argued, “This is about a girl.”

Norwood’s family was “just a normal family with their flaws,” Hook argued, “but Levi is a dangerous person.”

In an especially poignant moment, Hook read a note Joshua Norwood wrote in Levi’s birthday card a month before the murders. “I love you buddy,” the card read, “and I’m proud to call you my son.”
