Alexis Hernandez, 25, had been renting a room from Hector Rios for six months when he says things started to unravel. He told deputies he could hear voices coming through the vents. He believed Rios was stalking him, planting cameras inside the light fixtures.

Then came the cockroach. Hernandez told deputies he received an encrypted message inside it. The message told him to k*ll Rios. And he said the fact that Rios didn't like cockroaches confirmed it.

Deputies arrived after 10 p.m. to reports of gunfire. Hernandez was standing outside with a G***k on his waistband and a Marine Corps Sabre on his hip. Inside, two men were d*ad. Children were in the home. One child was heard yelling for help in Spanish.

Hernandez told deputies he sh*t Rios in the head, then walked back to his Honda Pilot to reload, then returned to sh**t both men again.

He denied ever being diagnosed with schizophrenia or any mental health disorder. He is charged with two open counts of m*rder and will remain in jail until trial.

Do you think he actually believes that?

South Carolina Jury Acquits Store Owner Chikei “Rick” Chow in Shooting of 14-Year-Old Cyrus Carmack-Belton as Defense Attorney Shaun C. Kent Faces Intense Backlash

A South Carolina jury has found convenience store owner Chikei “Rick” Chow, 61, not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting death of 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton. The verdict has sparked widespread outrage and an immediate wave of online cancellation against defense attorney Shaun C. Kent.

Chow chased the Black teenager over 130 yards from his store under the false suspicion of shoplifting bottled water—an accusation investigators proved was entirely baseless. Prosecutors stated Carmack-Belton was shot in the back while running away, and independent witnesses testified he never threatened anyone. However, defense attorney Shaun Kent successfully argued Chow acted in self-defense after the teen allegedly pointed a pistol at Chow's son.

The verdict left the Carmack-Belton family in tears, prompting state representative and family attorney Todd Rutherford to announce an immediate civil lawsuit. As protests renew outside the storefront, the family vows to keep fighting for justice.
