Black great-grandson accused of killing White 71-year-old Cedar Mill woman
   PORTLAND, OR - The great-grandson of a woman found dead in her Cedar Mill home Saturday is in police custody accused of killing the 71-year-old woman. Deputies received a call to check on the welfare of Jacqueline Bell Saturday morning. Deputies said she was found dead in her home on Northwest Lee Street from "homicidal violence." Investigators believe the crime occurred earlier that morning. At 8:05 that same morning, an OSP trooper was notified about a reckless driver on Interstate 84 heading east near Milepost 251. A commercial truck driver reported a green car driving between the travel lanes and nearly rear-ending his trailer. Troopers spotted a 2006 Lexus ES350 a few miles down the road and attempted a traffic stop. Police said the Lexus then hit speeds of 135 mph. The car took Exit 273 and slowed down as it attempted to re-enter I-84. The trooper took advantage of the reduced speed and spun out the Lexus, pinning the driver's door closed. The right front passenger, later identified as Micus Ward, 19, of Kansas City, tried to run, but was caught by another trooper a short time later. The driver was unable to get out of the car and was taken into custody. He was identified as Jodah Cain, 17, the great-grandson of Bell. Investigators said he had been living with her in Cedar Mill. Cain and Ward are accused of killing Bell and stealing her Lexus. Deputies believe the pair planned to drive to Kansas City, where they both recently lived. The medical examiner's office confirmed Bell died from "blunt force trauma." - (Black-on-white) |

- Friends say Cedar Mill suspect had threatened to silence victim
The Friday evening before Bell's body was found, the friend said several people were at her house smoking marijuana and drinking, and that had Cain introduced Ward as a cousin. Cain was reportedly asked whether Bell would be upset by the noise they were making and he responded, "Don't worry, I'll hit her. I'll knock her out." The friend added that Bell was planning an extended trip out of town and that there would be a big party at the house Saturday night.

7 blacks arrested for two-week Detroit killing spree - White Vietnam War vet murdered - shot in back
  DETROIT - Seven men are arrested in connection with what police say is a two-week killing spree in Detroit. Police believe the spree started with the murder of two teenage boys from Westland. The bodies of 18-year-old Jake Kudla and 17-year-old Jourdan Bobbish were found in a field on Detroit's east side late July of 2012. They had been missing for about a week. The boys' families eventually learned they visited an uncle's house, then went to a gas station looking to buy drugs. Investigators say they met with a group of guys who drove them to a house, robbed them, drove them to a field on Lyford Street and shot them to death.
"Yes, these are some god-awful people that need to be off the street," Melissa Villneff said. Police believe the suspects also killed her father, 62-year-old John Villneff. Police say on that day the group broke in and robbed a house, pistol whipped a 16-year-old boy and shot and killed John Villneff, a veteran and two-time Purple Heart recipient. But the alleged killing spree continues. Just hours later, in the early-morning hours of August 9, police believe some of the men are involved in a carjacking and used a woman to lure a 25-year-old man into an apartment building, robbing and killing him. The first suspect was arrested in connection with John Villneff's murder and the rest slowly started to trickle in after that as, police say, the men began to turn on each other. The suspects have been locked up for months, and some are already convicted for Villneff's murder. The men arrested in connection with the killing spree are Felando Hunter, Fredrick Young, brothers Reco and Aquire Simmons, Michael Evans, Michael Montgomery and Brandon Crawford. - (Black-on-white) |

- War Vet Shot, Killed While Protecting Grandkids From XBox Thieves
A grandfather was shot and killed late Wednesday night on Detroit’s west side while protecting his grandchildren from a group of intruders who broke into their home. WWJ’s Vickie Thomas was at the crime scene on the 6800 block of Rutland Street, off Warren, where a home was riddled with bullets from an SK assault rifle — similar to an AK-47. Vanessa Villneff, the victim’s daughter, said a gang of petty thieves broke into her home around 11 p.m. She said her father, a Vietnam War veteran and Purple Heart recipient, lives next door and rushed over when he heard the commotion. According to his daughter, 62-year-old John Villneff was shot in the back while protecting his granddaughter from the attackers. “They came in here first, beat my nephew in my closet. They have to wire his jaw shut, he has a big gash across his back, I mean his head. They was trying to kill my niece because she took pictures of them, and my dad stepped in the way of the gun and that’s why he died, to save his 12-year-old granddaughter,” Villneff said breaking into tears.

   Police today said the stabbing death of a white Army soldier allegedly at the hands of a group of African American comrades was not a hate crime - despite witnesses claiming they called him a 'cracker' during the confrontation. Tevin Geike, 20, was left for dead in a parking lot near his base in Lakewood, Washington, in the early hours of Saturday morning and three soldiers have been arrested over the killing. In the hours after the stabbing, police said they believed the attack was racially motivated because it was claimed some of the assailants - a group of five black men - called Tevin a ‘cracker’, a racist term for a white person. But Lakewood police officers today said they no longer believed the killing to be a hate crime following the arrests and speaking to everyone they believed were involved.
All the suspects are from Joint Base Lewis-McChord and served in the same combat infantry unit as Tevin.
The accused are Jeremiah Hill, 23 - the alleged murderer - Cedarium Johnson, 21 (2nd from left). ; and Ajoni Runnion-Bareford, 21 (pictured at left). Two others are still being sought. |

3 soldiers arrested in JBLM soldier’s stabbing death
 LAKEWOOD, Wash. — Three men who were booked into the Pierce County Jail early Monday were arrested in the case of a Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier who was stabbed to death. The suspects are also JBLM soldiers. The men were booked on investigation of murder charges shortly after 4 a.m. in the death of 20-year old Tevin Geike.
Lakewood police said on Sunday at 3:40p.m., detectives were contacted by a military sergeant who told them he had information on the Geike’s stabbing death. The sergeant said that another soldier had come forward with good information on who may have been responsible for the stabbing, police said. The soldier had told his sergeant that another soldier in his unit, Jeremiah Hill, had asked for first aid for a knife wound on his right hand on Saturday afternoon. The soldier stated that Hill told him he cut his hand when he stabbed a guy to death over the weekend.
The soldier didn’t believe him initially, but told his sergeant about what happened. The sergeant confronted Hill about this information, but Hill said he cut it while chopping vegetables. The soldier ended up taking Hill to Madigan Hospital for treatment, where Hill told hospital staff he cut his hand cutting parachute cord.
Police said they obtained information on another person involved in the crime who was brought in for an interview. According to police, the 21-year-old soldier was cooperative and admitted he was at the stabbing scene. Detectives said he told them he was in a vehicle with four of his friends driving on Pacific Highway when words are exchanged between Geike and his two friends, who were walking on the street, and his friends in the car. He said they stopped to talk to the victims, but nothing happened once they discovered they were all active duty soldiers.
As the five men were walking back to their car, Hill appeared to bear hug the victim and pushed him to the ground, authorities said. Lakewood police said the soldier told them that Hill was covered in blood when he got into the car and they discovered he had stabbed the victim and cut himself. They fled the scene and disposed of the knife.
Another cooperative suspect, a 19-year-old man, was brought in as well and he corroborated the accounts given up to that point, police said. Detectives said they then tried to interview Hill, but he did not make a statement and asked for a lawyer. The other three suspects were brought in for interviews and gave statements. Police said they located and seized the vehicle the men were in during the attack, and barracks rooms were searched and multiple items of evidence were found.
The three men who were arrested and booked for investigation of murder were 23-year-old Jeremiah Hill, 21-year-old Cedarium Johnson and 21-year-old Ajoni Runnion-Bareford.
According to Lakewood police, it appeared from interviewing everyone involved that race was not a motivating factor in the homicide.

He went back to sleep, and was awakened again about a half hour later, again by the noise of the blinds shaking, and he got up at that time intending to close the window. He then saw a subject, later identified as the defendant, standing facing the window, moving the blinds. When Nikolaus confronted the defendant, the defendant became combative, and “a struggle ensued between Nikolaus and the defendant.” The complaint indicates during the struggle, Henley “shouted words to the effect of ‘Take this,’ or ‘How’s this?’ and Capt. Nikolaus felt two sharp stabs to his upper back. Nikolaus then noticed that a broken knife was on the floor next to them.” - (Black-on-white) |
