This is just too sad……

Florida International University(FIU) running back Kendall Berry was stabbed to death in an incident on the school’s main Miami campus late Thursday night, immediately sending shock and grief across the university community and putting police on a search for multiple suspects.

Here’s the story…

The 22-year-old college football player was stabbed around 9 p.m., said Miami-Dade police Det. Javier Baez. Police were interviewing “several people that observed the incident,” Baez said, though he could not confirm if any suspect was in custody.

Baez said the stabbing took place just outside the front doors of the campus recreation center, where he said the football team and other FIU athletes train.

According to officials, Berry was involved in an argument with one or more people.

“One produced some type of a weapon and stabbed him,” Baez said.

News cameras captured several students, including some identified as FIU athletes, hugging and crying later Thursday night near the spot where the stabbing took place. One student dropped to her knees in grief just inside the doorway, screaming.

Berry, from Haines City, Fla., appeared in all 12 FIU games as a freshman in 2007. He sat out the 2008 season with a knee injury and then had some breakout moments in 2009, rushing for three touchdowns in a span of 13 minutes against Middle Tennessee on Nov. 7 and following that up with two more scores the following week in a win over North Texas.

Berry finished last season with a team-best seven touchdowns, despite not playing in the season’s first seven games because of continued recovery from the knee injury.

“When you put the football in his hands, that kid can do some unbelievable things,” football coach Mario Cristobal said late last season of Berry.

Shortly after the university confirmed Berry’s death, FIU indefinitely postponed football coaching clinics scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

Things are really getting out of hand!

Our prayers and condolences to his family and friends!

On Wednesday a killer whale killed its trainer after performing for hundreds of audience members at SeaWorld in Orlando.

Well, according to a SeaWorld spokesman, the show must go on……performances will resume on tomorrow at all company parks!

DETAILS BELOW

Reports say Tillikum, the 12,000-pound killer whale, pulled veteran trainer Dawn Brancheau, 40, by her ponytail into his tank and killed her.

If that’s not bad enough, this dayum whale has been linked to at least two other deaths…..

And they were still allowing for him to perform? You’ve got to be kidding me!!

Ummm, message to the white folks…….apparently he doesn’t like jumping on que and wants to be left the hell alone! {blank stare!}

Officials say Tilly will remain at the park…..but no word on rather or not he will perform again! SMH

Forget ‘Free Willy’ they need to “Free Tilly”!

I received a text this morning that sent chills through my spine!

The son of my very first boyfriend(Charles Bennett) had been shot and killed!

Rajaan Bennett, 18, an outstanding football recruit for Vanderbilt University was shot and killed by his mother’s(Narjaketha Bennett) ex-boyfriend!   SMH

STORY HERE!

According to reports:

Officers heard four or five gunshots around 2:30 a.m. as they arrived at the home where Rajaan Bennett, 18, lived with his mother, said Powder Springs Maj. Charles Spann. Inside they found Bennett, a running back at McEachern High School who was rated among Georgia’s top college football prospects, dead of a gunshot wound.

Boyd said Clifton Steger, 39, of Milledgeville shot Bennett and then killed himself. Bennett’s uncle, Taiwan Hunter, 32, was wounded and underwent surgery. He was in critical condition Thursday afternoon. His mother, Narjaketha Bennett, and two other children were unharmed.

It was not clear what prompted the shooting, but Spann said there was no sign of a struggle. He also said there had been no previous reports of domestic violence at the west Georgia home.

This story brings tears to my eyes and hits home on so many levels….

Narjaketha was good friends with my cousin and we all graduated high school together!

Just a few weeks ago, “Ketha” proudly announced Rajaan’s signing to Vanderbilt on Face Book…….and all of our classmates congratulated her!

Her husband Charles passed away, in a car accident, few years ago and she has raised her three kids as a single mom since!

Rajaan’s college scholarship and future football career was such a great accomplishment!

Ketha, the kids and their family is in my prayers! {tearfully upset}
