'Sad and difficult case': First of 3 suspects in Hopewell child's shooting death sentenced
Calling it a 'sad and difficult case,' a Hopewell judge has sentenced the first of three suspects in the shooting death of a child five days after Christmas in 2022. Brandon James Warner, 19, was given a life sentence with all but 22 years suspended for first-degree murder, and three years for a firearms charge, in a hearing Aug. 8 in Hopewell Circuit Court. As part of a plea agreement, charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and shooting from an occupied vehicle were not prosecuted. Warner was also put on indefinite supervised probation upon his release and ordered to pay $8,000 in restitution to a Virginia victim's assistance fund that paid for the victim's funeral. Eight-year-old P'Aris Mi-Unique Moore was killed Dec. 30, 2022, on Freeman Street in east Hopewell. Police say she was playing outside with friends when a shot from a passing vehicle hit her. The car then sped off. She later died at HCA TriCities Hospital in Hopewell. Two other suspects, Jamari Antonio Taylor, 20, of Hopewell, and Rayquan Latrel Harvell, 18, of Chesterfield County, are awaiting trials on charges of first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Taylor also was indicted on conspiracy to commit murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Taylor is set to go to trial Oct. 30, while a date for Harvell has not yet been scheduled. Warner was the last of the suspects caught, according to police records. He was arrested in September 2023 in New York state. 'The families deserve better' Brionna Taylor, P'Aris' mother, wiped her eyes as she sat surrounded by family and friends in the courtroom for the hearing. She declined the opportunity to address the court prior to the sentencing, but a victim-impact statement was entered into the record on her behalf. Warner, called the shooter by the victim's family, remained emotionless throughout the session and declined to address the court. Last February, according to defense attorney Mary K. Marin, he began medical treatment for anxiety and depression.

'This is a particularly sad and difficult case,' Circuit Court Judge W. Edward Tomko said before pronouncing the sentence. 'The victim was just a baby. She will not be able to grow up and be with her family.' Tomko also noted that Warner was just 16 years old when P'Aris was killed. Looking over his record, the judge said Warner was 'already troubled' when the shooting occurred. He said he wished that something more could be done to help Warner, 'but I don't know how to change that. 'Hopewell deserves better,' he added. 'The families deserve better.' Security seemed to be heightened both in and out of the courtroom, given the highly emotional tone of the case. Deputies escorted both families out separately, and Warner's family left without comment. 'In our hearts forever' In the parking lot behind the Hopewell courthouse, the victim's family spoke with reporters about the decision. 'We feel like justice has not been served yet,' aunt Chantel Moore said. 'Being the gunman, he should have gotten more time. He'll get out and can live his big life, but P'Aris's life would have been bigger.' Wearing shirts, jackets and shoes memorializing the child, family members recalled a loving child who was the queen of TikTok and not afraid 'to read you' if necessary. 'One Christmas, all the kids got iPhones,' aunt Lesha Moore Barnes remembered. 'She kept FaceTiming me, but would not say anything and just hang up.' They also were angry that Warner did not offer any public words of remorse. They described him as a family friend who was a frequent visitor in their homes. 'This is the little girl who used to chase after [him] up the stairs all the time,' another aunt, Tasha Moore, said. P'Aris' cousin, Rashiah Moore-Cooper, said the child was a 'sweet, bright soul' who 'wasn't just my cousin, she was my baby sister in every way.' She spoke of how difficult it remains that P'Aris is no longer with them physically almost three years later. 'It breaks me to know this is our new reality,' Moore-Cooper said. 'P'Aris was taken from us so senselessly, and it's hard to imagine life without her here. 'We'll carry P'Aris in our hearts forever. She deserves every piece of justice.'

The search for Kim Mitchell's beloved guitar, stolen after a gig in Hamilton 50 years ago
Call it the cold case of the missing guitar. More than 50 years ago, on Jan. 11, 1975, the rock band Max Webster wrapped up a weeklong gig at Duffy's Rockpile Tavern on King Street East in Hamilton. They packed their gear into a van and stopped at a nearby restaurant for a bite before heading out of town. But they made a classic error in judgment: they left the van unattended. Kim Mitchell, in a circa 1968 photo, plays the orange Gretsch guitar that was stolen seven years later. When they returned, two electric guitars, a bass and other belongings — including clothes and Christmas presents — were gone. Insurance helped cover the loss. But one guitar — an orange 1963 Gretsch Nashville 6120 — had deep sentimental value and could never be replaced. It belonged to singer and guitarist Kim Mitchell, a cherished gift from his father. '(My dad's) house was 11 grand at the time. The guitar was 700 (dollars). Do the math today and know that he really spent huge bucks for me,' Mitchell, now 73, is quoted as saying in the coffee-table book 'Max Webster: High Class,' by Bob Wegner. The cover of Bob Wegner's coffee-table book 'Max Webster High Class.' Wegner — currently updating the book for a second printing — is hoping to solve the mystery of the missing guitar. Inspired by recent high-profile recoveries of long-lost instruments, he has launched a web-based campaign called 'Kim's Lost Guitar Project' to try to track it down. The effort is especially reminiscent of Randy Bachman's lost and recovered instrument — an orange Gretsch 6120 from 1957, six years older than Mitchell's. It was stolen from a Toronto hotel room in 1976, a year after Mitchell's instrument disappeared. Like Mitchell, Bachman received his Gretsch as a teenager, and it became part of his early sound and identity. Kim Mitchell as a teenager playing his beloved Gretsch 6120 guitar that was stolen in 1975 after a show at Duffy's Tavern in Hamilton. Vintage Gretsch 6120 guitars are highly prized by collectors, fetching from $5,000 to more than $20,000 depending on year and condition. The Gretsch 6120 is one of the most iconic hollow-body electric guitars in history, closely associated with legendary guitarist Chet Atkins, who helped design the model in the mid-1950s. Atkins played one himself, as did rockabilly pioneers Eddie Cochran and Duane Eddy. Decades later, it became the signature guitar of Brian Setzer, frontman of the Stray Cats. George Harrison, during early Beatles years, played a Gretsch Country Gentleman — a cousin of the 6120 also part of the Chet Atkins line. Bachman, famous for playing in The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, got his guitar back in July 2022 — thanks to a fan named William Long from British Columbia who recognized it online. Incredibly, Long used facial recognition technology on photos and videos to locate Bachman's guitar. In the same way a face is recognized by subtle features, he focused on nuances of wood grain and blemishes to make a positive ID. The guitar had made its way to Japan, where it was played by a musician named Takeshi. Once verified by serial number as Bachman's guitar, a trade was arranged. He gave Takeshi an almost identical vintage Gretsch in exchange. Canadian rock legend Randy Bachman, right, receives his stolen Gretsch guitar in 2022 at Canadian Embassy in Tokyo. More recently, Paul McCartney's original violin-shaped Höfner bass was found after being missing for more than 50 years. An international search campaign called 'The Lost Bass Project' led to its return in 2024. Jimmy Page and Peter Frampton have also been reunited with stolen instruments in recent years. Another guitar at the centre of a global search is the cherry-red Gibson ES-345 played by Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) in 'Back to the Future.' It vanished after filming in 1985, but this year, Gibson launched a 'Lost to the Future' campaign to locate it. No luck so far, but a documentary film is underway about the search. One challenge in finding Mitchell's guitar is the serial number is not known. 'Kim doesn't remember it,' says Wegner, a musician and writer who grew up in Hamilton but now lives in Montreal. 'But there's a scratch on the back of the body and a cigarette burn on the headstock near the low E tuning key that would make the instrument stand out.' Rocker Kim Mitchell, left, who was the guitarist and singer for the band Max Webster, poses with author Bob Wegner. The Mitchell Gretsch is also identifiable by double cutaways on the body — rather than the usual single cutaway on the 6120 — red felt around the mute switch, painted F-holes, and a horseshoe inlay on the headstock. Wegner has photos from the 1970s that could help confirm a match. Maybe facial recognition-style software — like what was used in identifying Bachman's guitar — could verify a found instrument's identity. Software online can do this for free or at low cost. Wegner says he's exploring the possibilities. Mitchell could not be reached for comment, but Wegner says he supports the lost guitar campaign. Larry Feudo, president of the Hamilton Musicians' Guild Local 293 A F of M, says gear theft is a major problem for musicians. So much so, instruments with sentimental or high monetary value are often not taken on the road out of fear of losing them. 'Thefts happen all the time,' Feudo says. 'Guitars are regularly stolen out of vans. Thieves scope it out. Never leave your gear unattended.' The Max Webster theft was written about at the time by Windsor Star rock writer John Laycock, who followed the band closely. 'Some of the stuff was covered by insurance, but that's not the point,' he wrote. 'A musician develops a special relationship with a guitar that's something like sex and something like family and something like best friends — and still a little different than all three. That's why a man's 'axe' is irreplaceable; each has its own personality which can't be duplicated.' Max Webster circa 1978 featuring, from left, Dave Myles, Terry Watkinson, Pye Dubois, Kim Mitchell, Nick Krewen, Gary McCracken, in a dressing room at Uncle Sam's in Niagara Falls. Max Webster, which broke up in 1981 with the launch of Mitchell's solo career, was known for their energetic performances of hard rock and whimsical lyrics. They played during an era that was notable for bands being booked for an entire week at a club, rather than a single night as is typical today. That was the way it worked at Duffy's, a storied, dingy basement bar at 59 King St. E. that featured Max Webster and even Rush in their early days. Duffy's went out of business in 1979, and the space reopened under new owners, first as a country music bar before returning to rock when it was known as Oliver's. That club lasted until 1997. Duffy's Tavern on King Street East in Hamilton was a popular nightspot to hear live music in the 1970s. Feudo says members of the famed Hamilton band Crowbar frequented the nightspot, including harmonica legend Richard Newell, who performed as 'King Biscuit Boy.' Newell, who died in 2003, wrote or cowrote a song inspired by the venue called 'Blues for Duffy's Tavern,' found on his album 'Badly Bent: The Best of King Biscuit Boy.' Maybe someday, someone will write a new song — about the return of a big orange guitar that used to ring out in a long-lost barroom on King Street.

UC Berkeley professor murdered in Greece: Ex-wife's attorney says she is innocent
The ex-wife of Przemyslaw Jeziorski, a marketing professor from the University of California, Berkeley, says she was not involved in his murder, her attorney told ABC News. Jeziorski, a 43-year-old associate marketing professor at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, was allegedly shot and killed in Athens on July 4 near the home where his two children -- Zoe and Angelo -- live, his younger brother said in a statement. The children, who are 10-year-old twins, had been living with Jeziorski's ex-wife in Athens since 2020, according to court documents. In a press release shared on July 17, police said an attacker "approached the victim and shot him in the chest and back, resulting in his fatal injury, and then fled." Five people have been arrested in connection with the killing, including the professor's ex-wife, her boyfriend and three other men who were allegedly accomplices in the murder, according to Greek police sources. All five suspects appeared in court in Athens on Monday, with the judge ordering they remain in custody until the investigation, the ex-wife's attorney, Alexandros Pasiatas, told ABC News. But, Pasiatas said he is fighting for the ex-wife's release from prison as he says she is innocent. Four out of the five suspects -- everyone except the ex-wife of the professor -- pleaded guilty to the murder, Pasiatas said. The professor's ex-wife, Konstantina Michelidaki -- who goes by Nadia Michelidaki -- says she was not involved in the murder of Jeziorski, according to Pasiatas, despite friends of the professor previously telling ABC News their relationship "was not cordial" and court records indicating Jeziorski tried to file a restraining order against his ex-wife months before his death because he was "fearful" for his life. Pasiatas denied any allegations of emotional, physical or financial abuse from Michelidaki or her partner. "Nadia is a very nice lady. She's a very good mom. But the most important thing you can say about Nadia is that she doesn't want violence at all," Pasiatas told ABC News. "You have to be only a dreamer in order to say that Nadia has organized that." Pasiatas confirmed that Michelidaki's boyfriend, who is only referred to as "Christos" in court documents, was the person who shot Jeziorski, he said. Pasiatas believes Christos killed the professor because the children were "anxious about going with their father" and he decided to "take the law into his hands" -- even though Jeziorski and Michelidaki were privately involved in an ongoing custody and division of property battle. The attorney claims that the custody battle and division of property were complete. But Jeziorski's brother told ABC News a court settlement was reached that would allow the professor to take the children "for the entire month of July and for Christmas," but his ex-wife "refused to hand them over and hadn't prepared their passports." Christos allegedly was "very traumatized from his own family" and the "only thing he wanted was a nice and peaceful family," Pasiatas said. But Christos saw the "children felt unhappy," Pasiatas said. Pasiatas said Christos was "very good with the children" but did have "psychological issues." He added that Michelidaki, Christos and the children were "uncomfortable" with Jeziorski's girlfriend, who Pasiatas said was an escort who "used to take drugs" and would send messages to the mother saying "your children are idiots." Pasiatas said he believes Jeziorski was still dating this woman up until his death. The attorney also accused the professor of "alcohol problems" and that the children -- who speak to Michelidaki over the phone while she is in prison -- "don't ask about their father, they ask about Christos." He added that the children are aware that their father has died, but not the "way" of his death. As to the accusations against Jeziorski's behavior, his brother, Lukasz Jeziorkis, told ABC News in a statement that Michelidaki is a "liar and manipulator" and that UC Berkeley -- where his brother worked -- would not "tolerate a person with such accusations for even a single day." Lukasz Jeziorski also criticized Michelidaki for staying with Christos and having him spend time with the children. "Why did she stay with and allow such a 'man' as this murderer to be around the children? What kind of mother behaves like that?" Lukasz Jeziorski said in a statement. Lukasz Jeziorski said his brother's children -- who are both U.S. and Polish citizens -- are "under care in accordance with Greek child custody procedures," he said in a statement last week.
