    Texas Carjacker Fatally Shoots Man, Leaves Victim’s 2-Year-Old Son to Die

    Texas man named Bolanle Fadairo (38) has been arrested for allegedly igniting a carjacking incident that left the driver of a Chevrolet vehicle dead, along with his infant son. The tragic slaying took place on Tuesday, shortly after Bolanle Fadairo (38) met up with Michael Essien to engage in a discussion. Things escalated quickly when Fadairo withdrew his firearm and shot his former acquaintance numerous times. After the shooting, the assailant left Essien in the parking lot for dead, stole the victim’s Black SUV, and drove off with his two-year-old son riding in the car seat.

    Essien’s body was found in the parking lot around 1:45 pm, and his son was discovered in his dad’s abandoned SUV nearly six hours later. According to reports, the infant died of exhaustion. The Houston Police Department caught up with Fadairo the following day and apprehended him for two counts of murder. He was also charged with one count of tampering with evidence in connection with the aforementioned killings. Fadairo is slated to appear in court this Friday.

    Uvalde. Texas Shooter Reportedly Detailed Plans on Facebook Minutes Before Massacre

    According to reports, Uvalde, TX gunman Salvador Ramos shared his plans via Facebook Messenger minutes before carrying out the deadly attack.

    Roughly a half-hour before the shooting, Ramos allegedly wrote “I’m going to shoot my grandmother,” followed by a message confirming he carried out the harrowing deed. Minutes before going to the elementary school, Ramos allegedly wrote “I’m going to shoot an elementary school.”

    Facebook policy communications director Andy Stone explained that the messages were not public but “private one-to-one text messages that were discovered after the terrible tragedy occurred.”

    While many are calling for gun control and are dismissing discussions of mental health as a band-aid to the problem, Texas Governor Greg Abbott still pushed the mental health line during a presser on Wednesday.

    “Before coming out here, we had a long discussion with law enforcement at all levels … and I asked the sheriff and others an open-ended question and got the same answer from the sheriff as well as from the mayor of Uvalde,” Abbott said during a Wednesday press conference. “The question was, what is the problem here? And they were straightforward and emphatic. They said … ‘we have a problem with mental health illness in this community.’ And then they elaborated on the magnitude of the mental health challenges that they are facing in the community and the need for more mental health support in this region.”
