Ohio 'incel' sentenced for plotting to kill sorority girls in manifesto
An Ohio man and self-described “incel,” short for “involuntary celibate,” has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to a hate crime charge, according to federal prosecutors.
Tres Genco, 24, of Hillsboro admitted to planning a hate crime to shoot 3,000 people, including sorority girls, at an Ohio university in 2021.
Genco wrote in a 2019 manifesto that he wanted the “death” of women he had been “deprived” of yet cherished and fantasized about “having.”
“Genco intended to carry out a devastating mass murder of innocent women in this state for no other reason than the fact that he hated them. Everybody deserves to live without threats of violence or fearing acts of terror,” U.S. Attorney Kenneth L. Parker said in a Feb. 29 statement. “Genco’s sentence reflects the need to protect the community from him for a significant period of time. I thank each of our law enforcement partners for working together to keep our community safe.”

In a manifesto titled, “A Hideous Symphony, a manifesto written by Tres Genco, the socially exiled incel,” dated Aug. 3, 2019, the then-19-year-old wrote that he was “set to go into the U.S. Army” to train for “the attainment of one reality,” according to an indictment.
The incel movement is an online community mostly composed of men who harbor anger toward women and blame them for their own sexual inactivity, prosecutors noted.

Genco described that “reality” as “the death of what” he had been “deprived most, but also cherish and fantasize at the opportunity of having but has been neglected of; Women.”
“I will slaughter out of hatred, jealousy, and revenge,” he wrote. “I will take away the power of life that they withhold from me, by showing there is more than just happiness and fulfillment, there is encompassing death, the great equalizer that will bear all of us into its seductively calm velvet of silence and serenity.”

In another note obtained by law enforcement, Genco said he wanted to “aim big” for a 3,000-person kill count, the indictment states.
The day he wrote his manifesto, Genco searched online for sororities and information about the Ohio university where he planned to conduct the attack.
Genco even went so far as to purchase tactical gloves, a bulletproof vest, a hoodie bearing the word “Revenge,” cargo pants, a bowie knife, a skull face mask, two Glock 17 magazines, a 9 mm Glock 17 clip, and a holster clip concealed carry for a Glock, according to prosecutors.
He also attended Army basic training in Georgia between August 2019 and December 2019 but was discharged for entry-level performance and conduct.

“Genco plotted to violently attack women and was motivated by his personal hatred,” FBI Cincinnati Acting Special Agent in Charge Cheryl Mimura said in a statement. “Law enforcement, working together, stopped his deadly attack from happening. The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force will continue to work closely with our law enforcement and community partners to disrupt threats and prevent violence in our community.”
Genco maintained a number of profiles on a popular incel website between at least July 2019 through mid-March 2020, publishing hundreds of posts throughout that period. In one post, he detailed spraying women and couples with orange juice from a water gun. Known incel Elliot Rodger, who killed six people and injured 14 others in a 2014 shooting outside the University of California Santa Barbara, also sprayed students with orange juice from a water gun.
In January 2020, Genco wrote a note on his phone titled “isolated” from the future perspective of someone who had just committed a “horrible” crime, the indictment states.

“If you’re reading this, I’ve done something horrible. Somehow you’ve come across the writings of the deluded and homicidal, not an easy task, and for that I congratulate you for your curiosity and willingness to delve into such a dark topic,” signed, “Your hopeful friend and murderer,” he wrote.
Federal agents arrested the 22-year-old in July 2021 after responding to a domestic incident at his mobile home in Hillsboro, and he has remained in custody in Butler County since then.
Once detectives arrived and questioned Genco, they found a firearm with a bump stock attached, several loaded magazines, body armor and boxes of ammunition inside his vehicle.
Police also found a modified Glock-style 9 mm semiautomatic pistol, with no manufacturer information or a serial number, hidden inside a heating vent in Genco’s bedroom, at which point police realized they were not responding to just a domestic incident, according to court documents and prosecutors.
In October 2022, Genco pleaded guilty to attempting to commit a hate crime.

Fan behind Anthony Edwards’ orange bracelet has beaten cancer
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – The story behind Anthony Edwards wearing a bright orange bracelet since last season has received a positive development, after Timberwolves fans learned Luca Wright has beaten leukemia.
Anthony Edwards, Luca Wright connection
What we know:
Last January, the 6-year-old Minnesotan met “Ant” for the first time following a game against the Detroit Pistons, proclaiming him to be his favorite player, and asking him to wear a bracelet that symbolizes leukemia awareness, resilience and support for those affected. During the interaction, the fan had created a sign with a to-do list: “1. Beat Cancer. 2. Be The Next MJ.”
Leukemia is a type of cancer that spreads throughout the bloodstream, infecting bone marrow and a person’s lymphatic system by rapid production of abnormal white blood cells that can’t fight infection.
Since then, the Wolves’ MVP has worn a bracelet that proclaims, “Love Like Luca” on it for every game he has played, vowing to wear it “until he hangs up his sneakers.”
Ant has gone on to explain how the gesture connected with him given that he lost both his mother, Yvette, and grandmother, Shirley, to cancer when he was 14 years old. The No. 5 jersey he wears currently is a tribute to them both.
Luca bracelet latest
Dig deeper:
More than a year later, Wolves fans have received the update they hoped for – now 7-year-old Luca has beaten his cancer.
What’s next:
Ant has since responded to the news with his own social media video, calling it “God’s gift” and saying, “Let’s do this Luca.”
No word yet on whether he intends to keep wearing the bracelet, though he’s previously said he has a stash of replacements near the team bench should one ever be broken.

New bridge over 96th Street adds to Nickel Plate Trail connections
FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — The Nickel Plate Trail pedestrian bridge over 96th Street is officially open.
It was being touted Friday as a major milestone for central Indiana’s growing trail system. The street is the Fishers-Indianapolis border.
Leaders called the project a critical connection point for the Nickel Plate Trail. The new bridge helps move the nearly 17-mile trail closer to its goal of connecting multiple counties through one continuous path.
The bridge also came with a 1.3-mile trail extension. A $4.5 million grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources made the bridge possible.
Dale Brier, deputy director of Indiana Department of Natural Resources, talked about the state’s Next Level Trails grant program. “Currently, we have 89 trail projects that that were funded with that money. Fifty-nine of those are complete. We’ve got 12 under construction. As of this opening, we have 167 miles of trail that have now been opened with that grant money.”
People who frequently take the trail for their daily exercises say they’re excited the bridge is finally open.
Alan Errichiello of the Fishers Running Club said, “Extending this down south into Indianapolis is a big game changer for us. It’ll add a lot of miles that we can easily get into.”
Resident Tracy Mundell said, “Trying to get to the other side was nearly impossible, so I think most people didn’t even attempt it. It’s going to be great, we can get over to the other side, and I’m anxious to see what’s over there.”
The final portion of the project, called the Clear Path project, remains under construction.
Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, a Republican, said, “We need to double-down on that investment, and we know time and time again here in the city of Fishers that trail systems, the ability to get up and get out and get active, is such an important part in our culture of health, that an investment like this is critical.”
Once complete, local leaders say the goal is to provide a more safe and connected routes between Noblesville, Fishers, Indianapolis and other surrounding cities.
Resident Steve Mundell said, “It’s lovely. It’ll be real convenient to get across too.”

The two-story house that exploded collapsed after noon, Cleveland Fire confirmed.
The explosion and blaze caught the neighboring houses on both sides on fire, Cleveland Fire said.
