3 Month Old Baby Died After Being Left in Vehicle

Man Arrested for Abusing His 44 Day Old Daughter

Baby Dies After Being Left in a Vehicle by Family Friend

 

How sad is it that people are constantly leaving their children in vehicles? It’s even worse, when you trust a friend with your child and that friend leaves them in a vehicle. According to the authorities,over the weekend a three month old baby boy was left in a car and sadly died.

According to the Phoenix Police, they arrived to the scene around 2 p.m. and that is where they found the baby boy in the car. The car was at the Abundant Life Church which is near 20th Street and Roeser Road. According to the authorities, the poor child was left alone in the car for around three hours.

Baby Left in Car Outside of Church, Dies

 

Early Saturday morning the baby’s mother had went to the church for an early choir practice, so she left the baby with a family friend. The family friend is a twenty-seven year old woman who is now a suspect n the baby’s death. The main suspect, arrived at the church around eleven o’clock that morning. She was reportedly running late that morning, however her and two other children exited the car and then went inside of the church.

 

After the choir practice the mother and a friend of hers realized that the baby was no where to be found. They then searched the church as well as the parking lot. Police say that the suspect is the one who checked the car and found the baby in “medical distress”.

 

That poor baby, it was around 95 to 97 degrees outside that Saturday. The baby died that next day, on Sunday afternoon. There’s no word on the exact charges yet. I can’t imagine the pain his family are feeling at this time.

Teenager Shot in West Phoenix

Teenager Shot in West Phoenix

West Phoenix Shooting Ends Deadly for Teenager

 

The Phoenix Police Officials are now investigating a scene after a teenager was sadly shot and killed in the West Phoenix area on Sunday night.

 

Sgt. Steve Martos from the Phoenix Police said that seventeen year old Christopher Garcia as well as four other people were walking northbound around ten o’clock Sunday night. They were walking on 67th Avenue near the Van Buren Street when a truck pulled up beside of them. Sgt. Martos said that there were two armed suspects that got out of the truck. Three people from the walking group quickly ran away from the area, however Garcia and another person stayed with the truck.

 

17 Year Old Teenager Shot

 

Sgt. Martos stated that the seventeen year old was sadly shot and then the suspects drove away. The teenager victim was transported to the local hospital where he was sadly pronounced dead. The investigating officials found a burning vehicle later. The vehicle was located near the 32nd Avenue and Coronado Road. The vehicle matched the description of the suspects’ vehicle. The Phoenix Police are working to hopefully see if the vehicle is indeed related to the tragic teenager being shot.

 

At this time there is no definite description of the shooter’s looks. Because of this tragic event that lead to a teenager to being shot, traffic was expected to be delayed that morning so that the Phoenix police could investigate the scene. I can’t imagine what this teenager’s parents and family are going through at this time. Hopefully the investigators are able to make some headway and find some evidence pointing them into the right direction of the person who shot the seventeen year old young man. If anyone knows anything about this shooting, please contact the local Phoenix authorities with the information.

UPS Worker Trades $160,000 Diamond for $20 Worth of Marijuana

UPS Worker Trades $160,000 Diamond for $20 Worth of Marijuana

Man Trades $160,000 Diamond for a Little Marijuana

 

A former UPS worker has been accused of stealing a packaged that contained a $160,000 diamond. The man then traded the valuable jewel for a measly twenty dollars worth of marijuana. Seriously? How crazy can people get now days?! A gorgeous, valuable diamond for freaking twenty dollars worth of drugs? Apparently he wasn’t a smart UPS worker.

 

According to the court documents, twenty year old Walter Earl Morrison was working for the UPS while he was unloading a plane in the cargo section of the Sky Harbor Airport. Walter bravely but stupidly stuffed the package under his shirt. Morrison for whatever reason, thought the packaged had contained cash, however when he opened that package he was surprised to find the diamond. Why would he automatically assume cash was in a package? People these days blow my mind.

 

House of Diamonds Owner, Brent Taubman’s Statement about the Price Diamond

Any single stone over $100,000 is an expensive stone.

 

According to the documents, Morrison allegedly traded the expensive diamond for the marijuana before he was caught. Are you kidding me? According to a UPS spokesperson, luckily the stolen diamond was recovered and then delivered to the person it was intended to go to in the first place. It’s no surprise that UPS then fired Walter Morrison for his crazy actions. The authorities charged Walter Morrison for felony theft last week. At the Morrison home the man who was there would not open the door or make any comments on the matter.

 

How ridiculously crazy is this case? Who would be crazy enough to trade a diamond for a little bit of marijuana. Hopefully the silly Walter has learned his lesson and when he comes out of jail he’ll be a new man on the straight and narrow. No more marijuana.
