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.
An investigation is underway in Miami Gardens after police say a toddler was bitten in the face by two pit bulls on Tuesday.
Miami Garden police told CBS News Miami that officers responded to reports of a dog bite involving a child in the 3600 block of Northwest 191st Street just before 7 p.m.
When officers arrived, they said they were told that a 2-year-old was in the backyard of a home when he was bitten in the face by two pit bulls.
The child was rushed to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
No other information was released, and police said the incident remains under investigation.
What I would have done is taken my lumps and rolled with Ewers during the 2026 season. From my understanding, the reality of Willis’ deal is two years x 22.5M. After that, the Dolphins can part with him, no harm, no foul. Hiwever, don’t you think that the Dolphins could have used that money, considering their salary cap situation, in other areas? Yeah, to me, this is a textbook Steve Ross engineered deal where the Dolphins are bidding against themselves and hoping against hope that they’re not as bad as they’re predicted to be.
As for Willis, he reminds me of another ex-Green Bay QB named Matt Flynn. Like Willis, Flynn was the 2nd string QB at GB and shined in a couple of relief appearances for Aaron Rodgers during the 2011 season. He is best remembered in Green Bay for his record-setting 480-yard, 6-touchdown game in 2011 versus the Lions. That set him up for a big contract with Seattle, but he never really did anything there due to the emergence of Russell Wilson.
Former CBS News Miami anchor and longtime South Florida resident Eliott Rodriguez announced his candidacy for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 27th Congressional District on Tuesday morning.
He will now embark on a campaign that’s centered on lowering the high cost of living, restoring accountability in Washington, D.C., and bringing people together to deliver results for families in Miami-Dade, his campaign said in the announcement.
“I didn’t plan to run for Congress,” Rodriguez said in his announcement. “But I cannot stay silent. For 48 years, you trusted me to tell the truth and listen to your stories. Today, like so many families, I am concerned that Washington is not delivering for South Florida. My parents taught me that citizenship is not just a right – it is a responsibility. And now, I am answering that call.”
Why is Eliott Rodriguez running for Congress?
In his announcement, Rodriguez explained why he decided to run for Congress. He said the decision was deeply personal.
In recent months, he said he’s spoken with families, seniors, small business owners and young people who are struggling to afford to stay in a community they love.
“South Florida has now become one of the least affordable housing markets in the United States, with families here spending more of their income on rent and mortgages than almost anywhere in the country,” Rodriguez said in his announcement.
According to the campaign, Florida’s 27th Congressional District is widely viewed as one of the most competitive battlegrounds in the country.
In the race for Congress, Rodriguez will challenge incumbent María Elvira Salazar.
