Mother of 11-year-old girl shot and killed in Miami remembers daughter having a
MIAMI — When Chantrell Manning talks about her 11-year-old daughter Taliyan Clarke, she remembers her as a loving, innocent child.
“She was a butterfly, beautiful. Very inspiring,” she said. “She just had like, a pure soul. Such a sweetheart. Sweet, sweet baby,” said Chantrell Manning of her daughter, Taliyan Clarke.
“She lights up the room. She just was like the all-around girl. It’s just so sad, you know, that she’s no longer here with us,” Manning continued.
Around noon on Tuesday, police received a call about a shooting at an apartment complex on Northwest 2nd Avenue and Northwest 17th Street in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami.
According to police, Taliyan was staying with her dad Titato Clarke, his mother Charlene Ann Webster and his girlfriend Nancy Severe, when she was shot while in a bedroom with her 9-year-old brother.
Clarke rushed his daughter to Jackson Memorial Hospital, but it was too late.
“There were two children allegedly alone in a bedroom, one child, firing a gun shooting the other, then died because of that wound. All three of those adults count as caretakers under the statute,” said an attorney in bond court.
According to the statute, Clarke, Webster, and Severe are all considered caregivers under Florida law, and we’re all arrested and charged with manslaughter.
Severe, Clark’s girlfriend, claimed in court she did not know that weapons were in the house. When police searched the home, they found a gun on top of a dog cage wrapped in a blanket.
Now as Taliyan’s father, grandmother and his girlfriend sit behind bars, her mother is planning a funeral and pleading for answers as to why this happened to her innocent daughter.
“I don’t feel like everyone is responsible, I just feel like they should’ve been more attentive. Be more attentive to the children,” Manning said.
According to police, Clarke has 12 previous felony convictions. All three suspects are being held without bond.
MIAMI – A heat advisory has been issued for Miami-Dade and Broward through 6 p.m. due to “feels like” temperatures forecast to reach 105 to 110 degrees.
A heat advisory is issued by the National Weather Service when a heat index of 105 degrees or higher is expected for at least two hours in Miami-Dade. An advisory is issued for Broward when a heat index of 107 degrees is expected for at least two hours.
Some wet weather moved across South Florida on Wednesday morning. The rain brought some relief to several neighborhoods in the morning, however, the storms will push inland and to the West Coast in the afternoon. We will see plenty of sunshine that will heat us to the low 90s.
Drier air will move in Thursday to lower the chance of rain with only spotty storms expected. We stay hot with high soaring to the low 90s and it will continue to feel like the triple-digits under mostly sunny skies.
Late week and into the weekend moisture will move in and increase the chance for more storms. Scattered storms will develop Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but the weekend is not expected to be a complete washout.
The tropics remain quiet and tropical development is not expected over the next seven days due to Saharan dust moving across the Atlantic helping to inhibit or disrupt tropical development.
MIAMI BEACH – It was a horrifying Tuesday morning for one woman rollerblading in Miami Beach.She told police she was attacked from behind by a man who is still at large.
“We’re taking this extremely seriously,” said Christopher Bess, public Information officer with the Miami Beach Police Department.
According to police, the woman was rollerblading near the 2300 block along the beachwalk in South Beach around 1 a.m., “at which point the subject attacked her from behind,” said Bess.
According to police, sexual battery is a component of the investigation.
Katie Pfinz lives in the area and often uses the beachwalk to exercise.
After hearing about the assault, she said she’s “terrified. Because, I mean, I try to do what I can to be safe. But you can only do so much,” said Pfinz.
“That’s actually insane that no one would stop for her or care to even notice,” said visitor Reign Kirby.
“People out here, they do whatever they would like to. They have no respect. You never know who people are out here,” said Brian Murzinski.
Police advise those going out at night to use a buddy system, and to always be aware of theirsurroundings.
“I keep looking back behind me. And if I do have pepper spray, or anything that can defend me, I try to keep it in my right pocket because I’m right-handed,” said Pfinz. “I’ll even walk with my hand in my pocket so it’s ready to go.”
Police say the suspect is aged 20-30, stands about 5-foot-8-inches to 5-foot-9-inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds.
He was in a white outfit when the attack happened with distinctive arm tattoos, officials said.
Miami Beach Police say there will be an enhanced police presence in the area as they continue to conduct their investigation.
They’re asking anyone who recognizes the suspect to call police.
Inter Miami will be without Lionel Messi for at least their next two matches after the soccer superstar suffered an ankle injury in the Copa America final on Sunday while playing with the Argentina national team.
The MLS club announced Tuesday that Messi had suffered a ligament injury in his right ankle and his “availability will be determined by periodic assessments and the progress of his recovery.”
Head coach Tata Martino told reporters earlier in the day that Messi, 37, would miss Inter Miami’s match against Toronto FC on Wednesday and their showdown with the Chicago Fire on Sunday.
Martino indicated that Messi had “twisted” the ankle and that an injury “is present,” the Associated Press reported.
The Inter Miami coach did not want to speculate about the severity of the injury.
“There will be tests done to determine the severity of the situation,” Martino said. “We are always informed through our kinesiologist Walter Insaurralde, who is also the kinesiologist of the national team.
He said he is very cautious at giving a final diagnosis before results are in.
Messi, widely referred to as “The GOAT” of the sport, suffered the ankle injury in the 64th minute of Argentina’s 1-0 win over Colombia when he appeared to plant his foot awkwardly and tumbled to the ground.
He remained down on the pitch for several minutes before limping to the bench, angrily throwing one of his shoes and then burying his face in his hands as he cried.
Messi looked as though he had escaped injury earlier in the game when he went down chasing a ball and ended up holding his right ankle after a strong challenge from Colombia’s Santiago Arias.
The 37-year-old, who made the move to MLS last summer, issued his first statement on the matter in a post on Instagram on Monday.
In the post, he thanked fans who reached out to wish him well, before offering an optimistic update on his injury.
“I’m fine, thank God, and I hope I can soon be on the field again enjoying what I like to do most,” Messi wrote.
Messi did not make the trip to Buenos Aires with the rest of the Argentine team to celebrate the Copa America title.
Inter Miami’s next two games are MLS regular season contests before MLS pauses the season for the All-Star Game next Wednesday and then the Leagues Cup, which includes all LIGA MX and MLS clubs.
Inter Miami is the defending Leagues Cup champion, and the tournament is viewed as an important event for MLS and its broadcast partner Apple.
Messi helped drive viewership numbers during last year’s tournament, World Soccer Talk reported.
The regular season will resume for Miami on Aug. 24.
Martino refused to comment on how Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni used Messi during Copa America, according to the Miami Herald.
“We were not there in the day-to-day, and it would be out of place for me to talk about that,” Martino said.
