Memphis man who killed 3 in live streamed shooting rampage pleads guilty
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Tennessee man avoided a trial and possible death sentence by pleading guilty Wednesday to fatally shooting three people and wounding three others in a daylong series of shootings that was live streamed on social media in 2022. Ezekiel Kelly, 22, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and two dozen other charges in a Memphis courtroom. Shelby County Judge James Jones Jr. sentenced Kelly to three life sentences without parole, plus 221 years, in a deal with prosecutors. Kelly had pleaded not guilty in the September 2022 shooting rampage in Memphis that led to a citywide shelter-in-place order during a frantic manhunt. He took the stand during Wednesday's hearing, telling the judge he agreed to plead guilty and that he accepted the prison sentences. Kelly cried and wiped his eyes with a tissue as the relative of a victim gave a statement in court. Kelly then said there was nothing he could say to give shooting victims and their families closure. He added that he was in the 'darkest place of my life' at the time of the shootings and he wanted to help others avoid the same bad decisions he made. 'God gave me a second chance,' Kelly said. Kelly's trial had been set to begin Feb. 9. His lawyers had said that evidence in the case included 400 witnesses and more than 300 videos. Prosecutors had said they planned to seek the death penalty if he were convicted of first-degree murder. Along with the killings of Dewayne Tunstall, Richard Clark and Allison Parker, Kelly also had been charged with offenses including attempted murder, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, theft and commission of an act of terrorism. At least three witnesses saw Kelly shoot Tunstall during a gathering at a Memphis home at about 1 a.m. on Sept. 7, 2022, according to a police affidavit. Clark and Parker were shot later that day, authorities said. Police said three other people were wounded in the shootings, which took place in different parts of Memphis, including at a gas station, along an interstate and at an auto parts store. Kelly live streamed himself on social media platforms firing a gun and wounding a man at the auto parts store and talking about shooting people. The ordeal shut down Memphis' public bus system, locked down two college campuses and stopped a minor league baseball game. Kelly carjacked at least two vehicles before he was arrested when he crashed a stolen car while fleeing police, authorities said. Parker was a mother of three who worked as a medical assistant at a clinic in nearby West Memphis, Arkansas. Clark worked as a campus safety officer at Christian Brothers University after retiring from a career as a corrections officer. Adrian Sainz, The Associated Press

Widows of Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau appear on ‘Good Morning America'
Nearly one year after Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were killed by a suspected drunk driver, their widows are speaking out. Hannah Lepine reports. Nearly one year after Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were killed by a suspected drunk driver, the brothers' widows are speaking out. An extended interview with Meredith and Madeline Gaudreau aired on ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday, on what would have been Johnny Gaudreau's 32nd birthday. 'Half of me, the best part of me, died that day too,' said Meredith Gaudreau to ABC's Will Reeve. 'I'm just trying to be double now for my kids, even though I'm half of who I was.' The Gaudreau brothers died last August while bicycling in New Jersey after being struck by an alleged drunk driver. It happened just hours before they were to serve as groomsmen in their sister's wedding. Sean Higgins, 44, has pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault, vehicular homicide, evidence tampering and leaving the scene of an accident. Johnny Gaudreau, better known as 'Johnny Hockey,' played 10 full seasons in the NHL and was set to start his third with the Columbus Blue Jackets. He played his first eight seasons with the Calgary Flames. On Wednesday morning, the Columbus Blue Jackets shared a post on X marking the late player's birthday. Meredith and Madeline Gaudreau used the interview with Good Morning America to publicly launch the John and Matthew Gaudreau Foundation. The foundation not only helps honour the memory of Johnny and Matthew, but gives back to the hockey community.

Sha'Carri Richardson apologizes to boyfriend Christian Coleman after domestic violence arrest
American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson addressed her recent domestic violence arrest in a video on social media and issued an apology to her boyfriend Christian Coleman. Richardson posted a video on her Instagram account Monday night in which she said she put herself in a "compromised situation." She issued a written apology to Coleman on Tuesday morning. "I love him & to him I can't apologize enough," the reigning 100-metre world champion wrote in all capital letters on Instagram, adding that her apology "should be just as loud" as her "actions." "To Christian I love you & I am so sorry," she wrote. Richardson was arrested July 27 on a fourth-degree domestic violence offence for allegedly assaulting Coleman at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. She was booked into South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, for more than 18 hours. Her arrest was days before she ran the 100 at the U.S. championships in Eugene, Ore. In the video, Richardson said she's practising "self-reflection" and refuses "to run away but face everything that comes to me head on." According to the police report, an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, Coleman, the 2019 world 100 champion. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. Later in the report, it said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, with the TSA indicating it may have been headphones. The officer said in the report: "I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim." A message was left with Coleman from The Associated Press. Richardson wrote Coleman "came into my life & gave me more than a relationship but a greater understanding of unconditional love from what I've experienced in my past." She won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She also helped the 4x100 relay to an Olympic gold. She didn't compete during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 following a positive marijuana test at the U.S. Olympic trials.
