Indiana teen murdered college administrator mom after she served him eviction notice: court docs
An administrator at Loyal University in Chicago was strangled by her 19-year-old son after serving him an eviction notice, court documents show.
Conner Kobold is approaching trial this summer for killing his Indiana mother, Shanelle Burns, after she filed an eviction notice against her then-19-year-old son on Feb. 5 of this year, according to online court records.
To avoid eviction, Kobold had to clean his room, help his mother clean the common areas of their home and find a job within 30 days, the Post-Tribune reported.

That same day, police in Valparaiso, Indiana, responded to the home the mother and son shared after Kobold called 911 five times, according to court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital.
When police arrived at the home on Diamond Boulevard, Kobold asked the responding officer to put him in handcuffs and put him in the back of their squad car, documents show.
The officer noticed that there were superficial scratches on Kobold’s face.
Kobold allegedly told the officer that “there is a dead person inside of the house on the corner,” and that he “killed somebody in that house,” WGN 9 reported.

Inside the house, Valparaiso police found Burns suffering “serious injuries,” unconscious, not breathing and without a pulse. Two days later, she died of her injuries in a hospital, police said.
Before she died, doctors told police they believe Burns suffered “substantial” brain damage,” WGN9 reported.
Burns’ death was ruled a homicide by asphyxiation secondary to manual strangulation, court documents show. Kobold, now 20, has pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated battery and murder in connection to his mother’s death, according to online court records.
Kobold, currently being held at Porter County Jail without bond, is scheduled to appear in court in August. He had filed a waiver to represent himself in February, the Post-Tribute reported, but online court dockets indicate that he was appointed a public defender in April.

According to his LinkedIn Page, Kobold began studying at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in 2022.
Burns was an assistant vice president in advancement at Loyola University in Chicago, according to the school’s website.
“Shanelle was very witty, kind, and poised,” colleague Karen Paciero said in a statement. “She had an exceptional ability to both strategically design and execute; she was a trusted advisor to many within Advancement and so many across the University. We all miss her and profoundly mourn the loss to our division and the University.”
The 43-year-old taught herself to play classical piano and would “journal voraciously, writing poetry and stories that showed her creative and organizational prowess,” her obituary reads.

The Paramore frontwoman appears to be mapping out tour dates behind her 2025 solo album, ‘Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.’
Hayley Williams will soon have a date with Detroit.
The Paramore frontwoman’s website was updated Saturday with a list of cities underneath the header, “cu_soon.jpg.”
Detroit was one of 28 cities listed on the itinerary, along with Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Raleigh and Los Angeles, and a handful of South American cities.
Over the course of the last week, Williams, 37, has been slowly rolling out dates on her latest solo tour, which comes on the heels of her 2025 solo album “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.” An earlier round of touring behind the project did not include a Detroit date.

Sheriff: Driver of stolen vehicle flees traffic stop in St. Paul, hits State Patrol car in Minneapolis
The driver of a stolen car fled a traffic stop Friday night in St. Paul before crashing into a Minnesota State Patrol car in Minneapolis, according to the Ramsey County sheriff’s office.
A Ramsey County sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop the stolen Hyundai sedan at about 10:30 p.m. in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul. The driver fled and crossed the Ford Parkway Bridge into Minneapolis before the deputy lost sight of the vehicle and ended the pursuit, according to the sheriff’s office.
The suspect was then observed driving recklessly and ran a stop sign at West 46th Street and Aldrich Avenue South at 80 mph. The vehicle collided with a State Patrol squad car, causing significant injuries to the trooper and passengers in the stolen vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
The 19-year-old suspect was quickly arrested after attempting to flee on foot. The driver has two prior arrests for fleeing police and is being held at the Ramsey County jail, according to the sheriff’s office.
Police say the same vehicle was involved in a pursuit Thursday night in the west metro, during which it reportedly swerved at emergency vehicles but did not hit them.
