#9 - Cayla Campos New Mexico woman Cayla Campos and her boyfriend,
Sydney, were playing Pokemon Go at an Albuquerque park late one night in October of 2019, when
they witnessed a robbery in progress. The couple attempted to simply leave the park,
and got into 21-year-old Campos’ car to drive away. However, one of the thieves, later
identified as 19-year-old Isaiah Garcia, approached the vehicle and fired several rounds at the
fleeing couple. Campos crashed the car into an empty house after one of the bullets struck
her on the neck. While her boyfriend was left unharmed by the altercation, Campos ultimately
succumbed to her injuries at the hospital later that night. Garcia fled before the arrival
of police, and New Mexico authorities didn’t identify him as Campos’ killer until an
entire year later. In September of 2020, Garcia was charged with first-degree murder while
already awaiting trial for murdering high school student Sean Market at a homecoming
party just a month before the Pokemon-go attack. #8 - Gene Siller
On July the 3rd of 2021, Gene Siller, a professional golfer and director of the Pinetree Country
Club in Kennesaw, Georgia, was gunned down by an armed assailant. Earlier on the day
of the incident, the gunman, identified as 23-year-old Bryan Rhoden, had crashed a white
pickup truck into the club’s 10th green before attempting to flee. 41-year-old Siller
approached the area of the accident to check on the condition of the passengers, whereupon
he discovered the bound bodies of 76-year-old Paul Pierson and 46-year-old Henry Valdez
inside the vehicle. Sometime shortly thereafter, Rhoden fired the fatal rounds into Siller.
Investigators later expressed their belief that the victim had been murdered because
“he witnessed an active crime taking place". Later that day, Rhoden was arrested for an
unrelated traffic violation, and although he appeared nervous while being processed,
officers at the station weren’t initially aware of his involvement in the triple murder.
Rhoden was ultimately released three days later, but the money he’d been carrying
at the time of his arrest was confiscated. When a warrant was subsequently issued for
his arrest in connection to the murders, police used the money as bait, leading Rhoden to
believe he could return to the station to retrieve his belongings. He was then taken
into custody again, but denied any involvement in the killings, proclaiming his innocence
in an Instagram post on the day of his arrest. #7 - Robert Ray and Mario Owens
21-year-olds Robert Ray and Mario Owens were involved in a violent altercation while attending
a music festival in Aurora, Colorado on July the 4th of 2004. After the young men were
confronted by the event’s organizers, named as Javad Marshall-Fields and Gregory Vann,
for their alleged inappropriate behavior, a contentious argument erupted between the
2 parties. The altercation eventually turned physical when Ray attacked Marshal-Fields,
while Owens fatally shot Vann. Following the violence, the 2 assailants fled the scene.
Concerned that Marshall-Fields might testify against them in court, Owens and Ray subsequently
devised a plot to silence him. In June of 2005, roughly a year after the initial incident,
the pair murdered Marshall-Fields, along with his fiance, Vivian Wolfe. For the cold-blooded
double homicide, both Owens and Ray were ultimately sentenced to death following their criminal
trials. Numerous appeals were filed by the defense, but the verdict was upheld by the
Colorado supreme court on each occasion. Then, in March of 2020 Colorado Governor Jared Polis
issued a commutation for the 2 men. Their sentences were changed to life without parole,
in a ruling that shocked Marshall-Fields’ mother, state senator Rhonda Fields, who stated:
“He’s made his decision, so I guess I have to live through that, just like I had
to live with the death of my son.” #6 - Barry Fields
On September the 18th of 2021, 51-year-old Barry Fields was caught in the middle of what
investigators have called a “wild west shootout” while sitting on his front porch in Norristown,
Pennsylvania. On the night of the incident, Edwin Islas-Cruz, aged 23, pulled in front
of Fields’ house in a Toyota Camry and proceeded to open fire on a group of men standing on
the sidewalk, which reportedly included 25-year-old Brandon Darden and Joshua Agudio Jr., aged
20.The latter 2 returned fire, with at least 20 shots fired being reported by a witness
during a subsequent call to 911. Although he’d only been an innocent bystander, Fields
was caught in the crossfire and fatally shot in the head, the only lethal victim. Darden
and Agudio Jr were apprehended by the police and charged with first-degree murder, while
Isla-Cruz was arrested in Nebraska the following month, at which time he was extradited back
to Pennsylvania. Police haven’t released the reason behind the public shootout, explaining
only that it had been the result of an ongoing dispute between the parties involved. Although
first-degree murder charges are usually reserved for homicides committed with deliberation,
the prosecutor resorted to a legal concept known as transferred intent, in which premeditation
is shifted from the real target to the actual victim. Bail cannot be granted to suspects
charged with this crime in the state of Pennsylvania, so the defendants weren’t eligible for release
prior to their criminal trials. #5 - Shatavia Walls
33-year-old Shatavia Walls was shot dead in her East New York housing complex by members
of the Ninedee Gang on July the 7th of 2020. Prior to the shooting, Walls had complained
about fireworks being used during the 4th of July celebrations by her neighbor, Maliek
Miller. This wasn’t the first time she’d gotten into a confrontation with Miller and
his associates. The 27-year-old man had previously called her a snitch, and flyers were posted
around the building, labeling Walls a rat after she testified against another member
of Miller’s gang in a 2019 federal case. Then, on the night of her death, Walls attempted
to escape her attackers, who had been waiting for her to leave her apartment, by running
in the opposite direction and jumping over a ledge. However, the gangsters, later identified
as Miller, Quintin Green, Chayanne Fernandez, and Kevin Wint, all in their 20s, gunned the
woman down “execution-style”. Walls survived the attack but would die at the hospital 10
days later due to the severity of her wounds. All four suspects were charged with first-degree
murder, as well as racketeering, trafficking illegal substances, and robbery.
#4 - Byron Nicholas On August the 5th of 2019, Louisiana resident
Hassan Norris refused to pull over his car for an unnamed police officer who’d caught
him speeding. The 23-year-old motorist drove all the way to his apartment building and
proceeded to fire several gunshots at the officer chasing behind him. The policemen
was ultimately left unharmed, but Norris was eventually apprehended and charged with attempted
first-degree murder of a police officer and aggravated flight from an officer. The defendant
was released on bail, then failed to show up for a scheduled court appearance on October
the 18th of 2021, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. While on the lam, Norris sent
several threats to his 24-year-old neighbor, Byron Nicholas, who’d reportedly witnessed
the attack that precipitated his initial arrest. On February the 21st of 2022, Norris reemerged
and shot Nicholas to death, a crime that could have been avoided, according to the victim’s
mother, if the suspect had remained in custody during the duration of his trial. Norris was
arrested once again and, as of the latest updates on the case, was awaiting trial at
the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center. #3 - Gerard Getherd
In November of 2020, Gerard Getherd murdered petty criminal Jerry White, aged 34, after
waiting for him outside a tattoo shop in Norristown, Philadelphia. The deadly attack was reportedly
meant as retaliation for White agreeing to serve as a witness against Getherd in his
upcoming court proceedings. During a previous incident, 31-year-old Gethered had shot White
in the arm, resulting in him incurring attempted murder charges. According to subsequent reports
that contextualized the 2 men’s feud, Getherd had learned of White's deal with the prosecution
during preliminary hearings and would later overhear his defense attorney claiming the
case depended on the account of a single witness. Without White, the lawyer told the judge,
the matter would never get to trial. After the star witness’ body was discovered, Getherd
immediately became the prime suspect, given his unique connection to the victim, and was
apprehended soon after the attack. In February of 2022, the jury declared Getherd guilty
after deliberating for just 30 minutes, and presiding judge Gary Slow sentenced him to
life in prison without the possibility of parole, stating that he’d "crushed the lives
of so many people who care for him". Today's topic was requested by C M Geiselman.

On Christmas Eve, 2006, Colorado woman Natisha Gallegos was stabbed over 60 times by her
ex-husband, Albert, in her Denver home. The 30-year-old woman’s corpse was discovered
the following morning by her family, but fortunately, none of her 3 children were present during
the attack. Natisha had reportedly obtained a restraining order against Albert after their
separation, but he’d violated it a month prior to the deadly incident after she’d
refused to take him back. In retaliation, Albert had assaulted his former partner, threatening
her with a knife as he taunted her, asking her if he should kill her. That particular
altercation had culminated with the man eventually letting Natisha go before stealing her car.
Prior to her untimely death, the woman had reportedly been planning to testify against
her ex in court. However, Albert ultimately eliminated the key witness against him and
enacted a vengeful attack on his ex-wife in one fell swoop. The man later admitted to
standing outside of Natisha's condo for over 45 minutes before he finally broke in and
attacked her. Following the murder, Albert attempted to flee but was arrested two days
later in Los Angeles, California, after which he was extradited back to Colorado. The man
ultimately pleaded guilty on August the 22nd of 2008 and was consequently sentenced to
life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
#1 - Heather Gumina Waters On July the 15th of 2019, Arkansas man Anthony
Gumina attacked his wife, Heather Gumina-Waters, at their shared residence, inflicting severe
injuries that ultimately landed her in the hospital. The 33-year-old victim, a mother
of 3 who’d reportedly been suffering repeated domestic violence for several months, didn’t
contact the authorities after the alleged assault, and instead called her mother, Johanna
Russel, telling her that her husband had tried to kill her. Russel accompanied her daughter
back home the following day, but she ended up leaving for the night after witnessing
an argument between the contentious couple about how Gumina-Waters’ injuries would
affect Anthony’s ongoing domestic assault charges. Once the mother had left, Anthony
proceeded to fatally strangle his wife with his bare hands and dragged her around the
house with a rope strapped to her neck after she was already dead. He then faked her disappearance
by reporting her missing, even joining her mother in the ensuing search efforts. Anthony’s
lies were eventually uncovered when Gumina-Waters’ body was found buried on a property near the
family’s home. She’d been wrapped in a carpet and was still wearing her hospital
ID bracelet and sling. On June the 23rd of 2021, Anthony pleaded guilty to first-degree
murder, but claimed that his wife was to blame for “hurting his pride and honor”. Presiding
Judge Mark Ralphs sentenced the man to life in prison with the possibility of parole after
25 years served, and responded to his claims about Gumina-Waters, stating: “You’re
going to have plenty of time to contemplate how your conduct has impacted your honor and
your name.” Thanks for watching! Be sure to click on one
