Ohio teen fatally shot taking out trash just after kissing mom on cheek
A 14-year-old Ohio boy was fatally shot just moments after kissing his mother on the cheek and taking out the trash, authorities and family members said.
Dayvion Jones was walking in his Columbus neighborhood when he was confronted by a group of men in a stolen SUV shortly after 4 p.m. Sunday, the Columbus Police Department said in a statement.
One of the men then whipped out a gun and fired at Dayvion before driving away, cops said.
The SUV later crashed at a nearby intersection, prompting the suspects to flee, police added.
Meanwhile, cops arrived at the scene and found Dayvion lying on the ground with a gunshot wound.
The teen was rushed to a local hospital where he died. No arrests have been made.
Kim Jones said she heard gunshots shortly after her son kissed her on the cheek and left the house to take out the trash.
“We hear gunshots and we’re like ‘Oh, my God, is somebody shooting at our house?’ This is how close it was,” she told WBNS.
The frantic mother then rushed out of the house to look for Dayvion, but it was too late.
“I got in the car and it’s like my car wouldn’t drive fast enough and when I got there the police, they all was pulling up but my son was in the middle of the street face down, dead,” Jones recalled.
Jones said her son — who was on house arrest because of a fight last year — wasn’t perfect but had a beautiful smile and a sense of humor.
“Dayvion, I miss him so much,” the distraught mother told the outlet. “Dayvion was everything to everybody that he touched.”

Teacher busted for allegedly trying to hire hitman to kill his mom
A Kentucky middle school teacher tried to hire a hitman to kill his mom, authorities said.
Billy Reynolds, a teacher and school bus driver for West Carter Middle School, was arrested Thursday for allegedly offering someone $10,000 in the murder-for-hire plot, news station WSAZ reported.
State police said they received a tip on Jan. 15 from someone who claimed they had been contacted by 41-year-old Reynolds and given a retainer fee to kill his mother.
It’s unclear why Reynolds had wanted to kill his mom, who lives next door to him in Olive Hill.
Relatives also said they were stunned Thursday by the alleged scheme, WSAZ reported.
The teacher had never previously been in trouble with the law, his uncle told the outlet.
Carter County Schools Superintendent Dr. Ronnie Dotson said Reynolds has been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.

Kanye West facing lawsuits from allegedly stiffed Sunday Service cast and crew
Kanye West is currently facing two class-action lawsuits alleging mistreatment of performers and staff of his extravagant Sunday Service shows pay, according to reports.
Filed last summer in Los Angeles, the lawsuits are reportedly divided between performers and crew; Frank Kim is repping more 500 performers, while attorneys Harris & Ruble are concentrating on the approximately 300 crew members.
Some of the stories from the lawsuit, reported by the UK Sun, are shocking if by now sadly predictable tales from the gig economy: A hairstylist named Raina Leon claimed she had to wait 120 days for a $550 paycheck from work done in November 2019, which was then less a $20 wire fee deducted by West’s company.
Michael Pearson, a performer, alleged he was paid a flat day rate of $250, and regardless of his hours, was not permitted a meal or restroom breaks, and also alleges that performers stood all day or sat on the floor — because not enough chairs had been sourced — and walked home when a shuttle wasn’t provided for them.
The suits also pertain to West’s “opera,” the “Nebuchadnezzar,” performed at the Hollywood Bowl in November 2019, which allegedly violated California labor laws by not paying employees on time — or ever — and denying overtime, meal and bathroom breaks.
Sources told the Sun that lawyers are tracking down further members of the Sunday Service series and believe the final number of plaintiffs could reach closer to 1,000 people.
“No one knows how involved Kanye himself was, if he knew what was going on, as it was all so last minute, it was terribly ran. Whether it was mismanagement, accidental, or on purpose, this is a very strong case,” the source told the outlet.
The Los Angeles County Superior Court has joined the lawsuits together and the Sun’s sources estimate Kanye’s payout could be as high as $30 million should he choose to fight, after settling with the plaintiffs and paying his legal bills.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports that West, 43, is still dealing with another Sunday Service-related lawsuit, this one from MyChannel Inc., which alleges that its employees were stiffed for six months of work on Sunday Service-related technology. The suit, filed in August 2020, claims that West’s lack of payment is tantamount to theft of the tech.
We suppose this means that West’s September claim of spending $50 million on Sunday Services in 2019 will have to undergo an audit.
And of course, all of this comes as West is preparing for his divorce from Kim Kardashian, as Page Six exclusively reported. Earlier this week, he returned to LA from Wyoming.
“He understands Kim’s side has to spin that she is sick of him. In reality, he’s been sick of being involved with [the] Kardashians for a long while,” an insider shared. “Especially her mother [Kris Jenner], who looms large in all big decisions she makes.”
West and Kardashian are the parents of four children: 7-year-old daughter North, 5-year-old son Saint, 3-year-old daughter Chicago and 1-year-old son Psalm.
Page Six has reached out to West for comment.

Texas dad fatally shot when confronting daughter’s cyberbully, family says
A Texas dad was fatally shot when he went to confront the parents of a teen who had been cyberbullying his daughter, his family said.
Brandon Curtis, 35, of Houston had hoped to put an end to the harassing messages that a boy had been sending his 15-year-old daughter for nine months, news station KTRK reported.
“When he left from here, my husband went to go resolve the issue. He wanted to go speak to the parent,” Curtis’ wife, Shantal Harris, told the news station.
Curtis had spoken to the boy’s father before, but he went over with his daughter and son to address the issue again Friday evening at the home in the Humble area.
While outside the residence, the confrontation escalated to violence, KTRK reported.
A 20-year-old man told police that Curtis hit his younger brother, the outlet reported.
He claimed he then pulled out a gun to defend the teen boy and shot Curtis, who was pronounced dead at the scene, the outlet reported.
But Curtis’ family strongly denies that he would have become physical with the boy.
“My brother would never put a hand on a child,” Curtis’ sister, Jeran Perkins, told the news station. “We want justice.”
Curtis’ wife also denied that he would have become violent.
“I know my husband. My husband is not like that,” she said, adding, “For them to claim self-defense, it’s sickening.”
No charges have been filed against the shooter.
The case will be referred to a grand jury when the investigation is complete, the Laredo Morning Times reported.

Wife reportedly stabs husband after she sees a photo of him having sex with a woman – she was that woman
A Mexican woman flew into a rage and stabbed her husband when she found what she thought were snaps of him on his phone having sex with another woman — who happened to be her when they were dating years ago.
Police responded last week to reports of a domestic dispute at the couple’s home in Cajeme, Sonora, where they discovered the man with multiple stab wounds on his arms and legs, the Daily Mail reported.
His wife, identified as Leonora A, reportedly went ballistic when she found the explicit photos on his phone showing him having sex with who she thought was another woman.
Without asking him about the photos, Leonora allegedly began attacking her shocked hubby, identified as Juan N., who finally managed to wrestle the knife from her hands and asked her what set her off, the outlet reported.
Juan then told Leonora that the woman she thought he had been cheating with was actually her — when they were just dating.
His wife apparently did not recognize herself because she was younger, thinner and had makeup on, according to the report.
Juan, who is expected to recover from the injures, told investigators that he told his jealous wife that he had recently found the photos in an old email and transferred them to his phone.
Leonora was arrested and remains behind bars pending charges, the Daily Mail reported.

Doctors warn against using erection cream to plump lips
Thought “toilet paper lips” were harebrained? An amateur TikTok cosmetician has taken to using erection cream to plump his soup coolers in a viral stunt that doctors are deeming dumb and dangerous.
“So recently I saw a movie and this girl put erection cream on her lips and it made them really big so I wanted to try it,” TikTok user Jerry Mal said of the inspiration behind his unconventional pout-puffing hack.
The resulting clip, with over 3.5 million views, depicts him applying the unspecified brand until it looks like he smooched a tub of cream cheese. While initially pledging to wait five minutes for it to set, Mal towels off at the three-minute mark, saying his kisser was “burning really bad.”
After the unorthodox procedure, his lips do look so luscious they evoke miniature life rafts.

“Oh, my gosh. I kinda like it — I’m not gonna lie,” gushed the internet beautician while examining his handiwork.

Despite seeming like magic, it’s unsurprising that an erection elixir fluffed up his lips to full mast. The same mechanism that facilitates blood flow to the penis follows suit for the smackers, causing them to swell, Daily Mail reported.
However, actual dermatologists cautioned against the lip-augmenting practice.
Dr. Ross Perry, medical director of the UK’s Cosmedics, told Metro that the hack is “utterly ridiculous and can be extremely dangerous,” adding that the “temporary” procedure could lead to adverse reactions including soreness, swelling and blisters, as well as blood pressure fluctuations and “possible heart problems.”
London plastic surgeon Tunc Tiryaki offered that accidental ingestion of creams “can create not only local problems but generalized side effects,” saying, “This is why people should not be using these creams on their lips.”

Man turns himself into ‘black alien’ by removing nose, top lip
Anthony Loffredo, a 32-year-old Frenchman who wants to be a “black alien,” has gotten his nose removed in Spain, where it is legal to do so, the Mirror reports.
He also had his upper lip cut off and covered his entire body — including his eyeballs — in tattoos as part of his @the_black_alien_project on Instagram.
And in a reptilian twist, Loffredo also had his tongue split.
Speaking about his latest transformation, he did not reveal when he had the creative work done, or by whom, but said he now struggles to speak after the lip-removal operation.
The oddball plastic surgery aficionado said he now dreams of removing his skin and replacing it with metal, as well as modifying his arms, legs, fingers and the back of his head.
Despite his startling appearance, he says he has no problem attracting members of the opposite sex.
“Thank you to you @oscarmarquezbodymod you will have marked my life … now I can walk with my head high thanks to you I am proud of what we did together,” Loffredo wrote on Instagram about his drastic nose job.
In 2017, he told the French paper Midi Libre: “From a very young age, I have been passionate about mutations and transformations of the human body.
“I had a click when I was a security guard. I realized that I was not living my life the way I wanted. I stopped everything at 24 and left for Australia,” he told the outlet.
“I love getting into the shoes of a scary character. I often settle down somewhere and play a role, especially at night in the dark streets … I explore the contrast between the role I play and myself,” Loffredo added.

Bodycam video shows Arizona police officer fatally shoot armed man holding his baby
A Phoenix police officer fatally shot a gun-wielding father who was holding his child in a dramatic encounter that was caught on body camera footage.
The officer can be heard pleading with 37-year-old Paul Bolden to put the child down before shooting him outside a hotel on Jan. 9 in video released Monday by the Phoenix Police Department.
Police responded to the scene after Bolden’s girlfriend called 911 reporting he was firing a gun while holding the child.
“[He] just took my baby, he has a gun, he’s loaded, he took the baby. He’s trying to kill him, he’s shooting, he fired,” the frantic mother told 911 dispatchers, according to audio of the call released Monday.
“He got my son, he stole my son.”
Before police arrived, Bolden held a driver at gunpoint, according to another 911 caller.
When cops arrived at the scene, Bolden refused their orders to drop the gun, police said.
“He has a kid hostage right now,” one officer radios in, according to the footage. “He has a gun, he has made one gunshot already,” the officer continues.
“We need more units, block off all traffic.”
Bolden then points the gun at his child and others, police said, leading the officer with a rifle to open fire.
The shot was fired from behind the door of a police SUV, which obstructed the officer’s body camera.
After firing, an officer decides to run and grab the crying baby from the ground.
“Hold on, hold on, hold on,” one officer can be heard saying.
“No, f–k it, get the kid! Get the kid!”another responds.
Bolden was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
