Texas high school student has been charged with capital murder in the death of a 16-year-old runaway during a suspected drug deal gone wrong.
Victoria Duron, 17, claims her boyfriend, who is a minor and has not been named publicly, shot Tyrone Fiamahn dead, The Houston Chronicle reported.
Deputies from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office were called to the motel in West Houston after a report of a possible death in one of the rooms around 8pm on December 16.
When they arrived they found Duron with multiple gunshot wounds to his head, neck, back and arm.
Police believed he had been dead for several days, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Duron told investigators she knew Fiamahn as Knox and that he was her boyfriend’s drug supplier. She said her boyfriend sold narcotics he got from him
Duran said the pair had met with the victim several times before the fatal shooting, court records reveal.
The night of his death Victoria Duron claimed Fiamahn accused her and her boyfriend of stealing drugs, which the couple denied.
She said her boyfriend then shot Fiamahn multiple times, court records obtained by DailyMail.com show.
Before fleeing, the pair rummaged though Fiamahn’s belonging stealing $1,000 and taking THC vapes from his backpack and the victims phone and rifle.
Victoria Duron said the pair went to her boyfriend’s uncles house where they both confessed to the killing.
She said the uncle helped the pair burn the clothing they were both wearing during the day of the shooting.
On December 16, video surveillance taken from the motel shows a man and a woman – wearing hooded jackets – getting dropped off in a Ford F150 Lyft truck.
The pair are seen knocking on the door, someone on the other side opens the door – the couple enter in the same room Fiamahn was found in, court records reveal.
Around 10.50pm, a man and woman – with their heads down and faces covered – leave the room.
Court documents state ‘the man appeared to have something in his pants keeping him from moving in a normal manner,’ the news outlet reported.
The pair are then seen leaving in a Lyft vehicle – a Kia Optima. Both Lyft vehicles and the rides were traced back to Duron’s father’s phone number.
According to court documents, cellphone records show Duron was near the motel at the time of the murder.
Duron gave a voluntary statement to police – that was made available in court documents on Tuesday – but investigators said in those documents she gave partial truths and lied several times in her statement.
It was still unclear which of Duron’s statements were considered false by authorities, and how that was determined.
There was no further information provided on Duron’s alleged boyfriend, according to Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
A GoFundMe has been created by a family member of Fiamahn to help with funeral expenses.
‘Tyrone was a very energetic individual since he was a child. His smile would stretch from ear to ear leaving you no choice but to smile back and even laugh.
‘A smart, outgoing and courageous person; Tyrone never seemed to ever be bothered by his surroundings no matter the situation or condition, he always made the best of what he had,’ they wrote.
‘He cared for his family and friends dearly. Sadly his life was cut short in the most tragic way one could imagine.
‘He had a bright future ahead of him with his family right behind. Unfortunately, we will not get to see our brother, our cousin, or our friend graduate from high school or achieve any of his life goals,’ they said.
As of Wednesday, nearly $2,000 has been raised towards their goal of $20,000.
Eight teen girls have been charged in a swarming murder that took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. According to police reports the eight teen girls, three 13- year-olds, three 14-year-olds and two 16-year-olds, were apparently after a liquor bottle and when the victim stood up for his friend he would be brutally attacked ending in his death. Toronto police have charged the eight teen girls with second degree murder. Due to Canadian law regarding juveniles the longest sentence they can receive is a life sentence where parole eligibility is after seven years. Again due to Canadian laws the identity of the eight teen girls will not be made public
Toronto murders have been in the global news over the last few days with the last being a disgruntled condo owner who would shoot and kill five people before being shot dead by police. Of course to put this in perspective Toronto is the fourth largest city in North America behind Mexico City, New York City and Los Angeles. Toronto has had a total of 68 murders this year.
Swarming Murder In Toronto More News
An alleged “swarming” attack in Toronto started when the eight teen girls charged in the slaying tried to take a liquor bottle from the victim and his friend, the friend says.
That witness, who CBC Toronto has agreed not to name because they belong to a vulnerable community, said she was smoking a cigarette with the man outside a downtown shelter early Sunday when the group of teens approached them and attempted to take her alcohol.
The 59-year-old victim, who police have not publicly identified, told the girls to leave the two of them alone, the woman said.
“He protected me,” she added.
That’s when the group of girls started to punch him repeatedly, she recalled. Frightened by the violence, she walked away while one of the girls followed her. She said she could see lots of blood.
“Bleeding, bleeding, bleeding. I didn’t know if they had a knife or what. I was just scared,” she said. “I think they stabbed his belly.”
She said she went into the shelter and brought him water afterwards. “I didn’t know he would die,” she said.
In an interview Wednesday, Toronto police Det.-Sgt. Terry Browne said investigators believe there was an attempted theft — “likely of a liquor bottle” — during the initial phase of the deadly encounter.
“I don’t want to expand on that because we don’t have all the moving parts right now. But we do believe that does form part of the narrative involved in this,” he said.
The attack happened around 12:15 a.m. ET near the corner of York Street and University Avenue, just steps from Union Station. The victim was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Browne, who has been a homicide detective for 19 years, called it a “shocking” killing and said it is unlike anything he’s investigated before.
“I can’t recall a situation where eight females have been involved in something like this.
At a news conference Tuesday, Browne said the victim was beaten and stabbed by the group, which included three 13- year-olds, three 14-year-olds and two 16-year-olds. All eight have been charged with second-degree murder. Their identities are protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Browne said police chose to charge all eight with second-degree murder because each girl “played a role” in the slaying.
“All eight were together. All eight were involved,” he said Wednesday. ” I won’t say what each one individually did, but all eight were together and participating in this event, which is disturbing.”
Police are operating under the assumption that the girls met on social media, Browne said, but it’s not yet clear how or why they ended up downtown late Saturday and into Sunday morning. They all live in different parts of the city, he said.
Three had had “prior contact” with police, he added. Investigators have no evidence that the victim was known to them, Browne said
Police have spoken to the parents of each of the teens, he told CBC Toronto.
“As you can probably imagine, everyone was shocked. Probably like getting hit by a Mack truck.”
The fatal swarming was preceded by an earlier incident involving the girls that Browne only described as “criminal activity.” Police arrested all eight when they responded to a third incident shortly after the swarming and “pieced together the dots” that the group had been involved in all three.
All of the teens appeared in court on the weekend, with further court appearances scheduled for Dec. 29.
Browne said police wouldn’t describe the girls as a gang at this point, but investigators are calling the incident a “swarming,” which he said normally involves selecting a target to victimize. Swarming was more prevalent in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Browne said, and “primarily involved young adolescent males finding themselves in conflict.”
As of Wednesday morning, police were still trying to contact the victim’s elderly parents, he said. Once that has been done, his identity will be released publicly.
Browne said the man had only recently entered into the city’s shelter system and that he had supportive extended family in the area.
“I wouldn’t necessarily call him homeless, just recently on some hard luck,” Browne said.
His death was the 68th homicide in Toronto in 2022.
Toronto Mayor John Tory said in a statement that he is “deeply disturbed” by the details of the case.
“Everyone in our city deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. I am so saddened to know that a man has lost his life in this way,” he said.
“I am extremely troubled by the young age of those accused and by the number of people allegedly involved in this murder. My thoughts are with this man’s friends and all those who knew him as they mourn his loss,” he added.
Police are appealing for information from anyone who was in the area of the attack between about 10:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.
Pieper Lewis is back in the headlines months after she was sentenced to probation for killing a man she said sexually assaulted her. Now the eighteen year old is wanted by police for escaping custody at the probation facility where she was being held. The main problem for Pieper Lewis is this could lead to her probation being revoked meaning she could spend the next two decades in prison. According to police reports Pieper Lewis allegedly cut off her ankle bracelet and fled from the facility, Fresh Start Women’s Center in Des Moines Iowa. Pieper Lewis would plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to probation and a $150,000 fine which was paid from a GoFund Me campaign
Pieper Lewis More News
Iowa authorities say an 18-year-old sex trafficking victim who pleaded guilty to killing a man she said raped her escaped from a women’s centre where she was serving her probation sentence.
Pieper Lewis was seen walking out of the building at the Fresh Start Women’s Center in Des Moines shortly after 6:15 a.m. Friday, and at some point that day her GPS monitor was cut off, according to a probation violation report.
A warrant was issued for Lewis’ arrest and the probation report asked for her deferred judgment to be revoked and have her original sentence imposed, KCCI reported. She could face up to 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors had called the probation sentence she was given in September merciful for a teen who endured horrible abuse, although some questioned the $150,000 restitution she was ordered to pay. A GoFundMe campaign raised over $560,000 to cover the restitution and pay for her other needs.
Polk County Judge David Porter told Lewis that her probation sentence “was the second chance you asked for. You don’t get a third,” the Des Moines Register reported.
If Lewis had successfully completed five years of closely supervised probation her prison sentence would have been expunged
Lewis pleaded guilty last year to involuntary manslaughter and willful injury in the June 2020 killing of 37-year-old Zachary Brooks, a married father of two. Lewis was 15 when she stabbed Brooks more than 30 times in a Des Moines apartment.
Lewis has said that she was trafficked against her will to Brooks for sex multiple times and stabbed him in a fit of rage. Police and prosecutors did not dispute that Lewis was sexually assaulted and trafficked.
The Associated Press does not typically name victims of sexual assault, but Lewis agreed to have her name used previously in stories about her case.
An 18-year-old sex trafficking victim who killed her rapist was being held in an Iowa jail Wednesday and could face a prison term after she walked away from a Des Moines women’s shelter where she was serving probation for a manslaughter conviction.
Pieper Lewis was booked into the Polk County Jail on Tuesday, said Polk County Sheriff Lt. Ryan Evans.
Iowa Department of Corrections officers located her in Des Moines and took her into custody.
“We would like to thank law enforcement and members of Iowa’s 5th Judicial District for their efforts to safely bring Ms. Lewis back into custody,” corrections spokesman Nick Crawford said.
An arrest warrant had been issued after Lewis was seen walking out of the Fresh Start Women’s Center in Des Moines shortly after 6:15 a.m. Friday, according to a report filed with the court by a probation officer and the shelter’s residential supervisor. The report said Lewis cut off the GPS monitor she was ordered to wear as part of her sentence and then left the facility.
She will be taken before Judge David Porter for a probation revocation hearing. A date had not yet been set as of Wednesday. If her probation is revoked she could be sentenced to prison.
Porter sentenced Lewis in September to probation for five years to be served at the women’s shelter. He also gave her a deferred judgement, which meant her conviction would be expunged from her record if she completed the requirements of her probation. Porter warned Lewis at her sentencing hearing that by affording her an opportunity to avoid prison he was giving her a second chance. “You don’t get a third,” he said.
Lewis had faced a 20-year prison sentence after pleading guilty last year to involuntary manslaughter and willful injury in the June 2020 killing of 37-year-old Zachary Brooks, a married father of two. Lewis was 15 when she stabbed Brooks more than 30 times in a Des Moines apartment. She had originally been charged with first-degree murder but prosecutors agreed to a plea deal that dropped that charge in exchange for her plea.
Lewis has said that she was trafficked against her will to Brooks for sex multiple times and stabbed him in a fit of rage after he forced her to have sex with him again. Police and prosecutors did not dispute that Lewis was sexually assaulted and trafficked. The man she accused of forcing her to have sex with men, including Brooks, has never been charged.
Court documents indicate Lewis was allowed to leave the women’s shelter to work at a local pizza restaurant and show she had several incidents of violating the shelter rules in the past month.
The 48-bed shelter is in a neighbourhood northwest of downtown Des Moines. It is operated by the Department of Corrections for women on parole, work release or on pretrial release.

Sarah Cindy White More News
This story originally published on June 11, 2015.
Indiana’s longest-serving female prison inmate gets a mostly sympathetic look in a television profile that airs as her attorney works on a new push in a two-decade-long fight to win her freedom.
The segment of “Facing Evil with Candice DeLong” about Sarah “Cindy” White — convicted in 1976 on six counts of murder in connection with the fiery deaths of a Greenwood family that took her in as an orphaned teen — will air at 10:30 p.m. Friday on the Investigation Discovery channel.
White’s attorney, Charles Asher, who has worked unsuccessfully to win her release since the 1990s, said he thinks it is time to free the woman who has spent 39 years — her entire adult life — behind bars.
“You have to acknowledge the horror of six lives being lost, including those of four children,” Asher said. “But at the same time, I’ve never seen a person with such a sad life or sad treatment in the legal system.
“At some point, we have to ask: Are we really protecting society when we punish abused teenagers by putting them in prison and throwing away the key?”
White, 57, is serving six life sentences in the deaths of Charles and Carole Roberson and their four children. The family perished in a fire set by White, then 18, on New Year’s Eve 1975.
White — among Indiana’s most notorious and, based on convictions, prolific killers — is the only person interviewed on-screen in the 30-minute segment of “Facing Evil.” DeLong said the show is intended to “tell that person’s side of the story — to give them a voice.”
DeLong, who met with White in prison last July, agrees with Archer that it is time for White to be released from prison. The former FBI profiler and homicide expert called White the fifth innocent child victim in the horrific case.
“I think it was one of the greatest miscarriages of justice I’ve witnessed,” DeLong said in an interview with The Indianapolis Star. “She never denied she did it, but even her own attorney didn’t know the depths of this story.”
The segment contains no new revelations and leans heavily on allegations — first raised by White years after her 1976 convictions — that she had been abused as a child by her father and later by the Robersons.
White, who initially denied any role in the fatal blaze, admits in the interview that she set the fire and is responsible for the deaths of the Robersons and their children: Michael, 7; Dale, 6; Gary, 5; and Sissy, 4. But she insists she never intended for anyone to die; rather, she said she hoped the fire would provide her an opportunity to escape the couple she claims sexually abused her.
“I would give anything to bring them back,” said White, who first admitted to starting the fire at a 1987 clemency hearing. “No one was supposed to have died that night. No one. The fire got out of hand.”
When DeLong asks what she would say to the four children, White closes her eyes and grimaces.
“I am so sorry I did not protect you,” she said, “and I ask for your forgiveness.
At her trial in Johnson County, White was painted as a jilted lover out for revenge against Roberson, 45, and his 41-year-old wife.
Prosecutors used letters and nude photographs of White found in Roberson’s wallet to build their case against her. The allegations she had been sexually abused by her father and the Robersons did not come out at the trial. White said in the interview with DeLong that she was too embarrassed and ashamed to admit the abuse at that time.
White moved in with the Robersons to work as a live-in baby sitter after she was released from a 10-month stay at an Indianapolis mental hospital in the fall of 1975. She says in the interview that she was at first giddy when Charles Roberson showed an interest and began flirting with her.
But that interest, she claims, soon evolved into more disturbing behavior by her new father figure, including forcing her to watch pornographic movies and engage in sex acts in front of other men. White told DeLong that Carole Roberson was aware of the activity and an active participant in some of the sexual abuse.
When she tried to leave in the winter of 1975, White said, Charles Roberson locked her in a bedroom. She told DeLong that he soon returned with a kitten and ripped off its head, saying she would face the same fate if she did not obey him. Around that same time, White said, her grandmother’s house was damaged by a small fire. It gave her an idea.
“If I could start a fire … to make it unlivable,” she said, “I could go away and forget all about” the abuse.
White’s plan went awry almost immediately after she lit the fire near the family’s Christmas tree on New Year’s Eve.
“It went up so fast,” she said.
White claims she went to the Robersons’ bedroom to alert them to the fire, then tried to help Carole Roberson get the children out of a bedroom window before she lost consciousness. The next thing she remembered was waking up on the ground outside the burning home. White was hysterical, and neighbors had to restrain her from trying to get back into the inferno. She was treated at a hospital for severe burns to her arms.
Testimony at her trial, according to a Court of Appeals opinion upholding the convictions, revealed White “made a telephone call, on the night of the fire, to her sister-in-law. The defendant was inquiring about a fire, which had occurred two days earlier, at her grandmother’s home. … It was less than four hours after the defendant had inquired about the fire at her grandmother’s house that the Roberson home was in flames. The arson investigators stated unequivocally that the Roberson fire was not accidental.”
Nearly a dozen previous efforts to win White’s release have been unsuccessful, Asher said.
In a 1999 ruling, the Court of Appeals noted, “at the time of White’s conviction, inmates serving life sentences were not intended by the legislature to be included in those classes of inmates who could become eligible for parole.” That means a clemency proceeding is the only alternative.
Former Johnson County Prosecutor Dale “Charlie” Gantz did not respond to a request for comment about White’s television interview or the new effort to free her.
Isaac Randolph, a spokesman for the Indiana Department of Correction, said White has been in prison longer than any other current female inmate in Indiana.
“She has clerked in property room, commissary and med management,” he said. “She is a good seamstress and is classified to our Community Outreach Program.”
DeLong said White has had two strokes and now spends much of her time in a wheelchair.
Asher, who has come to know White well over the past 20 years, said she “is the most peaceful person” and has experienced amazing personal growth in prison.
At the time of the fire, Asher said, White had been a victim of sexual abuse for a decade and had recently been released from LaRue D. Carter Memorial Hospital after a 10-month stay for a condition then called “involuntary paralysis,” which stemmed from her emotional trauma. He said that experience stunted her emotionally and affected her judgment and decision making.
“She survived by denial, by keeping her mouth shut,” he said. “She had learned what virtually all victims of extreme child abuse learn: Don’t talk. Don’t trust. Don’t feel.”
Asher said he does not think White received appropriate treatment at Carter, where sexual abuse was never addressed, or had adequate legal representation at her murder trial.
“There are a lot of things that we know today that we didn’t know then,” he said. “The psychological care would have been different, and her defense would have been significantly different.”
Asher said he thinks Indiana officials need to re-evaluate how the state deals with troubled youths who commit murders — “especially if the child has been abused, which often is the case.” Simply locking them away for life, he said, might not be the only or the best solution.
“We have to constantly ask,” Asher said, ” ‘How much is enough?’ “
Juanita Bruce is a nineteen year old alleged teen killer from Tennessee who was involved in an argument with another woman that ended with her fatally shooting a toddler. According to police reports Juanita Bruce was involved in an argument with Kavious Askew when Bruce opened fire striking three people and killing one year old Karlie Wright, the daughter of Kavious Askew, who was sitting in the back seat of a vehicle. Juanita Bruce has been charged with first-degree murder, four counts of attempted first-degree murder and four counts of employment of a firearm with intent to commit a felony.
Juanita Bruce More News
A 19-year-old woman from Tennessee is facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder, after a toddler and her mother were shot, allegedly over a disagreement.
Police say 19-year-old Juanita Bruce is charged with first-degree murder, four counts of attempted first-degree murder and four counts of employment of a firearm with intent to commit a felony.
Police responded to a shooting before 5 p.m. Friday at New Chicago Park in Memphis. Witnesses say Bruce got into a fight with Kavious Askew, the mother of 1-year-old Karlie Wright. Bruce knew the mother and daughter, according to police.
During the fight, police say Bruce pulled a gun from her purse and started shooting. Three victims were hit, including Askew and her daughter, WMC reports.
Askew, who was shot in the leg, was found on the ground near a 2013 Nissan Altima. Her daughter, who was in the backseat of the car, was hit in the chest and died at the scene, police say.
Another woman was grazed with a bullet on the upper right shoulder.
Askew was hospitalized in critical condition.
“We have to be better about conflict resolution. There is no reason for a baby to be dead tonight because adults couldn’t do right by one another,” said Sgt. Louis Brownlee, Memphis Police public information officer.
Police say Bruce turned herself in hours after the shooting.
According to the affidavit, Bruce allegedly confessed to shooting Askew but said she did not intend to shoot Karlie.
There were two other children in the Altima during the shooting, the affidavit states. They were not harmed.
