In Ocala, Florida (USA), locally known tattoo artist David Nathaniel Barron was killed in a targetted shooting attack in the Paddock Mall just days before Christmas. An unidentified woman was also shot in the daytime act of violence. Law Enforcement is looking for 39 year old Albert Shell Jr. who they believe is responsible for the slaying. Shell (pictured below) has a tattoo of a cross between his eyes. IF you see him notify local enforcement, he is armed and very dangerous.
Suzanne Jovin was bright, popular and a caring person. The blue eyed, 21 year old Yale University student born in Germany, yet her life was violentally ended on an early morning on December 4th, 1998 near the Yale University campus in New Haven, Connecticut. Those that knew her are still haunted by her violent death and that no one has ever been arrested and prosecuted for it. In the beginning, Law Enforcement in New Haven, Connecticut focused on her thesis advisor a man named James Van De Velde, but he has never been charged. Some experts say the investigation was bungled from the start and that police should have no focused on Van de Velde.
The Connecticut Insider’s Randall Beach wrote an article recently about the case that talks about this and a potential potential person of interest that amateur sleuths think should be looked at. Twenty five years later, Suzanne’s family waits and hopes for answers.
There is also a video by a group of amaterur sleuths that look at the involvement of a possible mystery suspect alluded to in the article by Randall Beach. https://www.ctinsider.com/connecticutmagazine/news-people/article/suzanne-jovin-yale-murder-investigation-18533355.php
Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy are just some of the nicknames for Sean John Combs. An entrepreneur, he lived his early years on the hard streets of Harlem, New York City where he would eventually attend Howard University, drop out, work his way up in the music industry and eventually form his own record label, Bad boy Records.
Despite having an estimated financial worth of around a billion dollars according to Forbes Magazine, Combs has had his fair share of legal issues and controversy. These include getting into an argument with a patron at a bar and having a member of his entorouge be found guilty of a shooting at a bar. Several allegations of sexual assault by various women including one from long term girlfriend Cassie Ventura which was quickly settled out of court.
Combs also suffered from tragedy in his life, a long term girlfriend and mother of his children died in 2018 and his own father was murdered on the 1970’s mean streets of New York City.
Melvin Combs was a drug dealer in a heroin dealing operation and was an associate of famous Harlem Drug Lord Frank Lucas (who was portrayed in the movie “American Gangster” by actor Denzel Washington).
New York Law Enforcement believe that Combs was killed by members of a heroin drug dealing syndicate. Combs had been previously arrested in possession of heroin and around forty five thousand dollars of cash. A New York Times article stated a member of this drug dealing gang was raided after Combs arrest. Combs was shot to death as he sat in his car in the area of Central Park West in 1972. There has never been any proof that indicated why Combs was murdered and it is believed the case was never thoroughly investigated. Several associates of this drug dealing gang that Combs was involved with were eventually convicted and served time for their role in the illegal distribution of heroin. Frank Lucas was quoted in a New York Post article stating that he believed that Combs was not a police informant and most likely killed for other reasons.
To this date though, the murder of the 33 year old US Air Force Veteran remains unsolved and the killers at least unknown to the general public. However, even decades later…. the streets still talk.
