Man Convicted for Phoenix Park Teenager Murder

Man Convicted For Murder of Teenager in Marivue Park

 

Parks are great places for families and children, most of the time anyways. Now days, you’re really not safe anywhere. You could be attacked in your own safe home. People are getting desperate and mean. A man has been convicted of killing a teenager in the West Phoenix Park, Marivue Park. The boy defended his younger sister from an armed robbery and he is now scheduled to be sentenced Friday for the murder conviction.

 

The man Vincent Quimayousie. He is to face life in prison for the first-degree murder conviction for the September 2012 death of  Andrew Murphy. Andrew was sixteen at the time. Andrew was defending his fourteen year old sister at the Marivue Park.

 

Vincent Quimayousie Convicted for Park Murder

 

Vincent will also be convicted of attempted armed robbery and misconduct involving a weapon. Police authorities say that young Andrew Murphy was killed after he had stepped in front of Vincent to confront him after he had tried to demand money from Andrew’s younger sister. Vincent was twenty years old.

 

Vincent Quimayousie did admit to being near the park on the day of the killing in an interview with the police investigators. However, he denied any involvement in the killing.

 

Hopefully the authorities will be able to find justice for Andrew. Andrew was very brave for protecting his little sister. I’m sure his sister has to live in fear of the once friendly park in her mind to that dark day of losing her heroic brother. I’m sure she will always mourn and remember her brother for his bravery and giving his life to keep her safe. Maybe one day she can get peace, knowing her brothers killer is behind bars.

Fast Food Robbery Ends Deadly for Cops TV Show Crew Member

Shooting Suspects in Phoenix

“Cops” TV Show Crew Member Shot and Killed During Filming

 

Most of us have seen the television show, “Cops”. It’s known for it’s crime fighting and killer (no pun intended) theme song. The “Cops” TV show was filming when the police were called to respond to a robbery. The police got to the scene and then had to open fire while they disrupted a robbery at a fast food restaurant in Omaha. Sadly, one of the “Cops” TV show crew members was shot and killed as well as the robbery suspect. The suspect had been carrying a pellet gun that police believed was a real gun.

 

Police Believe Robbery Suspect Has Real Gun

 

According to Police Chief, Todd Schmaderer…witnesses and officers believed the robbery suspect’s “Airsoft handgun” was real and that it only fired plastic pellets. The robbery suspect fired at the officers before they returned fire. The suspect was hit by an actual bullet but somehow still fled the restaurant before he collapsed.

 

The Officers then continued to fire on the suspect as he fled the restaurant. As he was leaving and the firing continued, that is when the “Cops” crew member was also hit. Chief Schmaderer said that he believes that there were three officers that were involved in the incident and he thinks that they acted properly during the attempted robbery at the Wendy’s in Omaha.

 

According to Chief Schmaderer, the “Cops” crew member that died is thirty-eight year old Bryce Dion. Bryce worked for Langley Productions. The Robbery suspect that died is thirty-two year old Cortez Washington.

 

Chief Schmaderer also said that there was a video that got captured by another crewman of the “Cops” television show that showed the whole chaotic situation in the restaurant. The police will not release the video but it will be a part of the Grand Jury Investigation into the shooting. All three of the officers are on leave right now.

 

Langley Productions spokeswoman, Pam Golum’s statement:

We are deeply saddened and shocked by this tragedy and our main concern is helping his family in any way we can. Bryce Dion was a long term member of the `COPS’ team and very talented and dedicated person.
