Ivana Trump's former Manhattan home surrounded by mysterious graffiti
Puzzling and vaguely threatening graffiti appeared overnight around a Manhattan luxury townhouse once occupied by President Trump's former wife Ivana Trump, including the ominous message, 'We killing u for Ivana Trump.'
The graffiti, which also referenced the first daughter, with 'My queen Ivanka Trump,' was scrawled in yellow spray paint across five buildings on the Upper East Side next to and near the E. 64th St. townhouse where Ivana lived until her death in 2022, police said.
'We coming 4 you!' 'To die fo,' 'Murder Inc.,' 'Illuminati' and '777' were also spray-painted across the buildings — including three buildings just to the west of Ivana's former residence at 10 E. 64th St., plus two right across the street from it.
The Czech-American businesswoman and former model bought the tony structure in 1992 after her divorce from Donald Trump, property records show. It has remained vacant since 2022, and is currently on the market for $19.5 million, according to Street Easy.
Cops said the graffiti appeared around 1:07 a.m. on Friday.
Police are investigating the incident. They are not considering it a hate crime, police said.

Arizona medical examiner reveals how killer dad Shawn Ryan Grell died in notoriously violent prison
A murderous dad serving a life sentence for burning his 2-year-old daughter alive 26 years ago died of lung cancer in his cell at a notoriously violent Arizona prison, an autopsy revealed this week. The body of convicted murderer Shawn Ryan Grell, 50, was discovered by authorities in the Arizona State Prison Complex in Tucson on April 19. Officials did not disclose any details about his death at the time. A report from the medical examiner obtained by The Post on Wednesday revealed Grell died of natural causes. Advertisement 5 Shawn Ryan Grell's body was discovered by authorities in the Arizona State Prison Complex on April 19. Arizona Department of Corrections 'The cause of death is ascribed to metastatic non-small cell lung cancer,' wrote Dr. Ryan Bruhns, a medical examiner with the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office. 'The manner of death is natural.' There were no injuries on his body, according to the report. Advertisement Grell's death generated online speculation over whether it was a result of a revenge killing by another inmate, given the horrifying nature of his crime. That speculation came as legislators were calling for sweeping reforms at the Arizona Department of Corrections after three inmates were savagely murdered 15 days before in the same prison complex where Grell died. The three prisoners were killed on April 4 by Ricky Wassenaar, a notorious convict who is serving 16 life sentences for murder and his role in one of the longest prison hostage situations in American history, according to prison officials. 5 Grell was serving a life sentence for killing his 2-year-old daughter over two decades ago. Advertisement 5 The body of Grell's daughter was found just outside Phoenix in 1999. Two of Wassenaar's victims were serving life sentences for sex crimes against a minor, the other was in for raping and murdering a 15-year-old girl. 'Child molesters: I wanted to kill them all. That's all I can say,' he told the Arizona Mirror in a recent phone call. The medical examiner put an end to the online theories. Advertisement 5 A report from the medical examiner obtained by The Post showed Grell died of lung cancer. 'This 50-year-old male inmate at the Arizona State Prison Complex – Tucson…was discovered unresponsive in his bed in the Rincon Unit,' the report read. 'He was pronounced deceased at the scene by an attending physician.' Grell's thin body was delivered to the medical examiner in a white body bag. He weighed just 134 pounds and had bad teeth, according to the report. Grell was serving a life sentence for murdering his daughter over 25 years ago. He picked up Kristen Salem from a Mesa day care on Dec. 2, 1999, and took her to McDonald's for lunch, according to court records. 5 The medical examiner's report put to rest online speculation that another inmate killed Grell. He told the tot they were going to see Christmas lights, reported, but instead he drove to Target to buy a plastic gas can and gasoline, according to court documents. He then drove to the desert outside Mesa, laid his sleeping daughter on the ground, doused her in gasoline and lit her on fire, the records said. Little Kristen woke up and staggered 10 feet while engulfed in flames, before collapsing on the ground. Advertisement He later confessed to the killing at a press conference early the next morning. 'I took the gasoline and I poured it on her,' he told investigators during a videotaped interview. 'I took the match and threw it on her,' he added with no trace of emotion in his voice.

Oakland Post editor's confessed killer paroled after years in prison
The man convicted of killing an Oakland newspaper editor who was investigating the finances of a Black empowerment group in 2007 was released from prison last week, officials told the Chronicle. Devaughndre Broussard was released into parole supervision on June 5, according to a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokesperson. No other details regarding his release were immediately provided. Chauncey Bailey, the editor of African-American weekly the Oakland Post, had been investigating the bankruptcy proceedings of Your Black Muslim Bakery before he was killed. Broussard, a member of the bakery group, testified in 2011 that its leader, Yusuf Bey IV, had ordered him to learn where Bailey lived and 'find out his routine,' according to a Chronicle report. 'He wanted us to take him out before he wrote that article.' Broussard confessed to killing Bailey with three shotgun blasts on Aug. 2, 2007 as Bailey was walking to work at 14th and Alice Streets in downtown Oakland, according to a previous Chronicle report. A federal judge ordered the bakery to liquidate its assets amid debt and management problems the week following Bailey's killing. Broussard was sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter for the slayings of Bailey and Odell Roberson, 31. Roberson was the uncle of the man who shot and killed Bey IV's brother near the former San Pablo Avenue bakery. Broussard promised to testify against Bey IV and Antoine Mackey, a former bakery associate, who was also a suspect in Bailey's killing. Bey IV was sentenced in 2011 to spend the rest of his life in prison for ordering the killings of Bailey, 57, Roberson, 31, and Michael Willis, 36. Jurors decided that Bey IV was guilty of murdering Bailey because he had ordered Broussard to pull the trigger. Mackey was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for Bailey and Willis's killings, the Chronicle previously reported. In 2015, a state appeals court denied Bey IV and Mackey's motion to overturn their convictions, dismissing claims that their trial should have been moved from Alameda County due to negative publicity.
