17-year-old girl accused of stabbing boyfriend to death in Pennsylvania
A 17-year-old girl is accused of stabbing her boyfriend to death in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, earlier this week.
The Harrisburg Bureau of Police said in a news release on Wednesday that 17-year-old Dalaysia Terrell-Brown was charged with murder in connection with the fatal stabbing on Monday night. She was also charged with possession of an instrument of a crime and use/possession of drug paraphernalia, court records show.
The bureau said officers were called to the 1400 block of Market Street around 11 p.m. on Monday for a reported stabbing. The victim was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries. The victim was 18-year-old Ta’Mar Shaw, who was Terrell-Brown’s boyfriend, CBS affiliate WHP reported. He was reportedly stabbed in the chest, and his death was ruled a homicide.
The news outlet reported, citing police, that three Instagram videos from Terrell-Brown showed her threatening her boyfriend with a knife before he was fatally stabbed. Police said that three knives were found in her room on Monday night, WHP reported.
Court records show Terrell-Brown was denied bail and remains in the Dauphin County Prison. The 17-year-old is due back in court for her preliminary arraignment later this month.
A motive for the stabbing was not immediately released by law enforcement. Police said the investigation into the stabbing continues. Anyone with information can call Harrisburg police at 717-558-6900 or submit a tip online.
Viral video shows Morgan Wallen throwing fan’s phone
Country singer Morgan Wallen grabbed and threw a fan’s phone across the stage during his concert in Pittsburgh.
Hours before the second show of his two-night stint in Pittsburgh on June 6, Morgan Wallen canceled his show due to bad weather, a decision he said he and his team made after consulting Pittsburgh officials.
The storm that caused the cancellation ended up hitting Western Pennsylvania but left the city unscathed. Since the decision, Wallen has received backlash from fans and Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor, who claims Wallen’s team did not contact city officials before the decision to cancel the show.
“After talking with local officials and my team, there is no choice but to cancel tonight’s show due to severe adverse weather conditions expected throughout the rest of the day and night,” Wallen said in his post. “Safety for my fans and crew is the highest priority.”
The “I’m The Problem” singer added that tickets would be refunded.
Why exactly did Morgan Wallen cancel his Pittsburgh show?
Wallen canceled his show due to weather, but the storm he and his team believed would impact his concert ended up moving away from the city.
While the storm didn’t hit Pittsburgh, thousands of people across Western Pennsylvania lost power over the weekend due to high winds, severe storms, tornadoes and flash flooding on June 6, according to Action 4 News.
Fans also speculated that weather had nothing to do with the decision but instead had to do with Wallen throwing a security guard’s phone into the crowd the night before on June 5.
How did Morgan Wallen respond to the backlash?
Responding to the rumors and disgruntled fans, Wallen posted an Instagram story on June 6.
“I’ve been seeing a lot of nonsense about me that is simply not true, and I just wanted to clear the air,” Wallen started in his story post, reported by USA TODAY. “I think my true fans know that that’s not how I operate in general, but I had to say it.”
“This morning, my team walked on my bus, told me that they had been consulting with local officials, and that I should cancel my show in Pittsburgh (Saturday night),” he continued. “And I said, ‘Why?’ They said that there was gonna be strong winds in the area, and I said, ‘OK.’ So that’s what I did.”
“(T)he truth of the matter is, I have a large stage and in those conditions, it could become fatal to a lot of folks around it,” Wallen said. “So I did the best I could with the information I had in that moment.”
What did Pittsburgh’s mayor say about Morgan Wallen’s cancellation?
Following the cancellation, O’Connor sat down with local radio station KDKA on June 8 and disclosed that nobody from Wallen’s team reached out to city officials for consultation on their decision.
“There was no contact to Public Safety or my administration so however the artist and his team picked to not have the show, that was on them, there was no consulting for Public Safety or the City of Pittsburgh,” said O’Connor.
“If you’re going to say that you consulted . . . that’s one story, we, again, had no record of that from public safety director, all the way down,” he added.
Wallen nor any members of his team have responded to Mayor O’Connor’s claims.
Wallen is not scheduled to come to Nashville on the remainder of his current “I’m The Problem Tour.”
