A seven-year-old Ohio girl pleaded with her father not to kill her as he threatened to kill her and himself during a standoff with police before he was shot by law enforcement, with the young girl saying, “I don’t want to go to heaven today.”

Charles Ryan Alexander, 43, kidnapped his daughter, Oaklynn, from her grandmother’s house in Jefferson County on Nov. 11. Alexander did not have legal custody of his child.

The girl was the subject of an Amber Alert that prompted a police pursuit after the Brunswick Division of Police located the child in the city of Brunswick, according to the Medina County Sheriff’s Office. The driver refused to pull over for an attempted traffic stop, and multiple jurisdictions joined the pursuit.

Police eventually used stop sticks to deflate Alexander’s tires and force his vehicle to come to a stop, which led to a standoff with law enforcement in a parking lot.

Audio of Alexander’s communications with law enforcement revealed the armed father threatening to kill his daughter and himself, according to WKYC.

“I will shoot us both, stand back!” he shouted.

Oaklynn was heard in the background, repeatedly begging her father not to carry out his threat. “Please don’t,” she said.

Alexander also threatened his child’s mother, telling the girl, “I wanna talk to her mother. If you’re listening, Ashley, you should’ve called.”

The girl then asks her father if they are “both going to heaven.”

“How do you know we’re going to heaven?” she asks.

Her father replies, “We’ll both go.”

Oaklynn continues to ask her father questions.

“I am going to heaven?” she asked. But when she realizes what it would mean for her to go to heaven, she shouts, “No!”

“I don’t want to go to heaven today,” Oaklynn was heard telling her father, who responds, “I didn’t want it to happen either, I just wanted to talk to your mother.”

A 911 dispatcher then tells Alexander, “I know you didn’t want to hurt [your daughter] and you didn’t want it to be like this.”

“Let’s not do anything we can’t undo,” the dispatcher added.

Oaklynn can be heard repeatedly asking if she is “going to heaven today” and at one point yelled, “I don’t want to!”

Another dispatcher tells Alexander, “Just keep talking to her if you don’t want her to be scared.”

“Let’s not do anything that is going to make it even more unfair to her, ’cause you love her, I know you do,” the dispatcher said.

Police eventually fired multiple shots at Alexander, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Oaklynn was safely returned to her family after the shooting.

Nolan Bianchi, John Niyo, Richard Silva and Bob Wojnowski of The Detroit News offer predictions for Thursday’s Lions-Packers game at Ford Field in Detroit (8:15 p.m., Fox, Amazon Prime/97.1).

▶ Nolan Bianchi: It’s not often you see an 11-1 team in a must-win game, but if the Lions are to uphold their aspirations of capturing the No. 1 seed in the NFC, this game is as close to a must-win as it gets. Green Bay is feeling awfully good about itself after winning three straight — the last two by double digits — and the Packers believe they were the better team in a 24-14 Lions victory at Lambeau Field in Week 9. Under those circumstances, I can’t help but go with a Dan Campbell-led team. He’s had the number of Packers coach Matt LaFleur since the 2022 season, and I don’t see this being a situation where Green Bay pounces on Detroit like they did in the Thanksgiving matchup at Ford Field between these teams a season ago. Detroit will be more than ready for the challenge after a close call with the Bears last week. Pick: Lions, 30-27

▶ John Niyo: The Lions have won five of the last six against the division-rival Packers. But that loss last year came at Ford Field, when Green Bay spoiled Detroit’s Thanksgiving with a wire-to-wire victory.  This time, it’s a prime-time matchup with lots at stake and plenty of injury concerns for Dan Campbell’s team. That last part explains why Vegas has it essentially a toss-up aside from the home-field advantage. This looks like a different Green Bay squad than the one the Lions faced a month ago, as the Packers’ pass rush has emerged on one side of the ball, while Jordan Love has taken care of the football on the other. Unless Aaron Glenn’s crew finds a way to reverse that trend, their streak may be in jeopardy. Pick: Packers, 31-27

▶ Richard Silva: The Lions, despite their best start in franchise history, are far from a guarantee to win the NFC North, with the Packers and Vikings breathing down their necks. This matchup with Green Bay has obvious divisional implications, but it also matters in the race for the conference’s No. 1 overall seed; with a win, Detroit’s chances of earning the top spot will rise to 84%, per the New York Times’ playoff predictor. The question is whether this team can continue to overcome injury after injury. It’ll probably be close, but given the track record — Detroit is undefeated since losing Aidan Hutchinson, a feat that can’t be overstated — I’m not picking against head coach Dan Campbell’s squad. Pick: Lions 31, Packers 30

▶ Bob Wojnowski: It’s a blockbuster Thursday night game between two of the hottest teams in the league. The Lions have won 10 straight and the Packers have won seven of eight, with their only loss to the Lions. Difference is, Packers are among the healthiest and Lions are among the ouchiest (made-up word, I know). In the first meeting — the Lions’ 24-14 victory at Lambeau — Jordan Love was playing through a groin injury. In three straight wins since, he has a 69.1 completion percentage, five TD passes and one interception. Detroit’s injury-riddled defense will need all available resources, including the Ford Field noise. It starts with stopping Josh Jacobs, who’s rushed for 987 yards with a 4.5 per-carry average. The Lions certainly can match that with Jahmyr Gibbs (973 yards, 6.0) and David Montgomery (720 yards, 4.3). Jared Goff directs the NFL’s top-scoring offense, and improved red-zone efficiency will be paramount. Montgomery punches in two touchdowns and the Lions win a wild one. Pick: Lions, 32-29

The Milwaukee Brewers have a big question to sort out in the infield.

Willy Adames has been the team’s starting shortstop since being acquired in 2021. He has developed into one of the top offensive shortstops in baseball but is a free agent and doesn’t seem likely to return.

The Brewers have internal candidates to replace him, like Joey Ortiz, but no matter what happens the infield will look different. It could make sense for the Brewers to bring another piece to town and MLB Trade Rumors’ Steve Adams suggested Milwaukee as one of his “clear fits” for Philadelphia Phillies All-Star Alec Bohm.

“Brewers: The Brewers aren’t going to re-sign Adames at market value,” Adams said. “They’re fortunate to have two shortstop-caliber infielders elsewhere on the diamond in third baseman Joey Ortiz and Platinum Glove winner Brice Turang. Moving Turang to another position after that Platinum Glove might be a reach, but Ortiz could slide from third base to shortstop and give the Brewers the freedom to look for more offense at third base.

“Bohm’s salary is modest enough for the Brewers to stomach. There will be natural Bohm/Devin Williams speculation with both being trade candidates, but the Brewers have some younger arms they could dangle if they prefer not to deal from the big league roster.”

Bohm earned his first All-Star nod in 2024 and is just 28 years old. He had 15 home runs and 97 RBIs across 143 games played. If he’s available, as rumors have said he is, maybe the Brewers should get involved.
