Episode 99

Current cases in the news.

War baby here with another episode of murderous minors.

The official start of summer is just about here, so it's a great time to cover the remainder of recent cases from the first half of 2021.

Just as the first month of the new year began to blend away, 17-year-old Raymond Childs III was planning to spend the night at his girlfriend's house,

that is, until his father called him in the early morning hours of January 24th, 2021, and told him he needed to get home.

The teen's girlfriend went on the Uber app on her phone and requested a ride for him to his home on Adam Street in Indianapolis, Indiana.

According to reports, Childs 15-year-old brother recalled that, once his brother had returned home, their father had told him that he was going to be in trouble later.

Childs III had left home without permission.

The 15-year-old was downstairs in the basement master bedroom of their parents, Raymond Childs, Jr. and Kessie Childs, both 42, when his father asked him to fill up his water bottle.

While he was doing so, the teen heard a gunshot then his 13-year-old sister yelled down from upstairs that Raymond had shot Elijah, their 18-year-old brother.

The 15-year-old brother had hit the laundry room floor immediately after hearing several more gunshots, and as his father went to the stairs and said,

What is that? Childs III reached the basement, and he heard his father's last words, quote, I'm sorry Raymond, I love you.

The younger brother ran for his life into the night, however, Childs III was right behind him.

He tried to give his big brother the $40 he had in his pocket, but in return he was shot in the arm, then the leg.

The bullets fired at the 15-year-old's head somehow magically missed and then his brother was gone.

Childs III had taken two bags full of clothes and shoes, plus his father's Draco firearm, a long-barrelled semi-automatic pistol styled to resemble an AK-47 and use its magazines, which he had used to shoot his brother outside.

Cacings from that gun were later recovered as were the 9-millimeter casings from inside the home and the 9-millimeter handgun belonging to Childs Jr, abandoned in the basement with he and his wife's bodies.

The lone survivor of the massacre was able to make his way to the nearest home, shouting that he'd been shot and begging for help, prompting the homeowner to call 911.

Arriving officers found the wounded 15-year-old on the front porch of that home just before 4am, applying a tourniquet near the gunshot wound to his arm, likely saving his life.
