Man allegedly killed 4-year-old with 'boot camp'-style punishments

AURORA, Colo. — A Colorado mother is facing charges after authorities say she allowed a man she considered “like a brother” to discipline her 4-year-old son using harsh “boot camp”-style punishments that ultimately led to the child’s death.

Police responded to an apartment around 10 p.m. on May 23 after reports of a young child who was unconscious and not breathing. When first responders arrived, they found the boy suffering from severe injuries. He was rushed to the hospital, where he later died.

Authorities arrested 24-year-old Alexander Martinez-Armstrong at the scene. Investigators say he admitted to repeatedly striking the child.

The boy’s mother, 23-year-old Destini Rose Lipsky, was later arrested as well. According to court documents, Lipsky told investigators she placed her son in Martinez-Armstrong’s care for what she described as a “boot camp” because of behavior issues including lying, sneaking into her purse, not listening, and occasionally stealing candy.

Investigators say Martinez-Armstrong forced the child to practice writing numbers while punishing him with a belt and other physical discipline. A witness reportedly told police she could hear the boy screaming from another room during the night.

Authorities say the child was covered in bruises “from head to toe” in various stages of healing. Martinez-Armstrong allegedly admitted to beating the boy multiple times during his stay, including striking him with a belt at least 21 times on May 23 alone.

Martinez-Armstrong has been charged with first-degree murder. Lipsky is charged with child abuse resulting in death.

A Colorado man has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder after the death of a 4-year-old boy Saturday night in Aurora.

According to the Aurora Police Department, officers responded around 10 p.m. to an apartment on East Tennessee Avenue after receiving reports of a child who was unconscious and not breathing. When first responders arrived, paramedics were already attempting life-saving measures on the boy.

Police said the child had significant injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he later died.

Authorities identified the suspect as 24-year-old Alexander Martinez-Armstrong. Investigators say he is not the child’s father, though people close to the situation reportedly say he was dating the child’s mother.

During the investigation, detectives interviewed witnesses and gathered evidence at the scene. Police say Martinez-Armstrong admitted to repeatedly striking the child, leading to his arrest.

He was booked on a charge of first-degree murder and later transferred to the Arapahoe County Jail, where he is awaiting his first court appearance.

The official cause and manner of death will be determined by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.

Police say the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers. Anonymous tips may qualify for a reward.

A woman convicted in the deaths of five elderly nursing home patients nearly 40 years ago is now asking for clemency, with attorneys claiming the murders may have never happened.

Gwendolyn Graham, now 62, was convicted in the late 1980s for the deaths of five women at what was then Alpine Manor Nursing Home in Walker, Michigan. Prosecutors said Graham and fellow nurse’s aide Catherine Wood suffocated patients as part of a disturbing pact that led the pair to be labeled the “Angels of Death.”

Now, the Michigan Innocence Clinic has filed a massive petition arguing Graham’s conviction was based entirely on fabricated stories and not physical evidence. Attorneys say the original accusations came from Wood after the pair watched horror movies and joked around at work using dark humor that later spiraled into shocking claims.

The petition also argues the trial was heavily influenced by anti-LGBTQ bias during a time when homophobia was widespread. Graham, who now identifies as a transgender man while in prison, has continued to maintain innocence for decades.

Investigators at the time exhumed two of the victims’ bodies, but autopsies reportedly found no physical evidence of suffocation. Despite that, a jury convicted Graham of five counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, resulting in a life sentence without parole.

Catherine Wood later cooperated with investigators and testified against Graham. She was released on parole in 2020 after serving time for second-degree murder.

Retired detectives involved in the case still believe the convictions were justified, while supporters of Graham say the case was built on revenge, rumors, and unreliable testimony.

The clemency request is currently being reviewed by Michigan’s parole board.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Mother’s Day dispute turns violent; grandmother critically injured

A Florida woman is fighting for her life in the ICU after authorities say she was stabbed multiple times by her grandson during a Mother’s Day dinner dispute.

According to police reports, Keo Nottage is facing charges of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault after allegedly stabbing his grandmother 11 times on Sunday.

Investigators say the incident began when the victim and another family member went grocery shopping to prepare a Mother’s Day meal. When they returned home and asked Nottage to help, tensions escalated. Police say he became enraged and allegedly threatened, saying, “Someone is going to die today.”

Authorities report that moments later, he attacked his grandmother with a knife.

A cousin who entered the home during the incident told investigators that Nottage then chased him with the weapon as he fled to seek help.

The victim was rushed to the hospital and remains in intensive care. Officials say her condition is critical, and they are uncertain about her chances of survival.

Nottage was arrested and booked into the Palm Beach County Jail. He appeared in court Monday but was removed after causing multiple disruptions during the hearing. He is currently being held without bond, with another court appearance pending.

A North Carolina man is facing murder and r**e charges after investigators say his 19-year-old girlfriend endured months of alleged torture and abuse before her death.

According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, 24-year-old Thomaz Kenon Hamilton was arrested in connection to the death of Isabella Mary Alexandria Stroupe after officers responded to a home on May 1 and found Stroupe unresponsive inside a bedroom. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Hamilton initially called 911 claiming Stroupe stopped breathing during s*x and believed she suffered a heart attack. However, authorities later determined she had suffered multiple broken bones and stab wounds.

According to reports citing court documents, Stroupe was allegedly found bound to a bed with a tow strap and wearing minimal clothing. Investigators also reportedly discovered a knife wrapped in cellophane along with several objects believed to contain blood evidence.

The affidavit reportedly states investigators believe Stroupe had been tortured over a period of several months and was physically unable to consent to s*xual activity.

Family members described Isabella as a creative young woman who loved books, fan fiction, and “My Little Pony.” A GoFundMe has reportedly been created to help cover funeral expenses.

The investigation remains ongoing.

A Florida TikTok influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers has been arrested on multiple child s*xual abuse material charges after investigators say evidence was discovered on his phone.

According to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, 18-year-old Mason Hull, known online as “Hullo,” was taken into custody Wednesday following an investigation by the agency’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit.

Authorities say the investigation began on April 30 after deputies responded to a report involving possible illegal material. Investigators later conducted a forensic examination of Hull’s phone after evidence was allegedly discovered by his now ex-girlfriend, who reportedly had been looking through the device because she suspected he was cheating.

According to investigators, detectives uncovered conversations on the Telegram app involving the alleged purchase and distribution of child s*xual abuse material. Law enforcement also identified links to websites allegedly used to obtain the material, along with conversations discussing payments for files.

Officials say a forensic analysis of the phone uncovered images and videos depicting girls between the ages of 8 and 15. Hull now faces 15 counts of possession of child s*xual abuse material.

Investigators also stated that Hull allegedly admitted to using Telegram to purchase the material because he wanted to “try something new.” Authorities said he later failed to appear for a scheduled follow-up interview before a warrant was issued for his arrest on May 6.

Members of the sheriff’s Tactical Unit reportedly located Hull in the parking lot of his residence and arrested him without incident.

Hull’s TikTok account, which has since been made private, reportedly had more than 350,000 followers and focused on “looksmaxxing” content aimed at helping young men improve their appearance.

The investigation remains ongoing, and the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to contact investigators.

A Texas man is facing a murder charge after authorities say he shot and killed his wife inside their home while children were present.

According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a home on Texarkana Street in the Houston area around 1 p.m. on May 2 after a man called 911 claiming he had shot his wife.

Investigators say they found 39-year-old Yanira Marin de Romero in a bathroom suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities identified the suspect as Jose Romero, 43, who was taken into custody without incident. Detectives say Romero told investigators he killed his wife because he was upset that “she didn’t take his back pain seriously.”

Romero was booked into the Harris County Jail on a murder charge.
