Landin Robinson, 16 was a high school football player who was shot and killed with his 18-year-old cousin, Klayton Manning last week. Robinson and Manning who worked as a volunteer firefighter dead next to a Polaris ATV.

The two men were trying to flee from the scene according to court documents. Bryan Haynes, 34 of Austin is being charged with capital murder after the killings.

The 34 year old Austin man is trying to claim he was chased by aliens before he shot the two young men. The affidavit says the 34 year old killer told his brothers he was being chased by aliens in an ATV and indicated he shot the two aliens with his gun.

The sad part is he emptied two 17 round magazines and two 10 round magazines on the two men.

Robinson joined the team last year as a sophomore when his family moved to the district. He was able to play a little on the offensive line, and played on special teams. The coach Matt Chiurco said this year they were expecting to have a bigger role for the 16 year old big man.

“This year we were counting on him to probably be one of our tackles,” the coach said.

I please ask that you pray for the family of Landin Robinson. A GoFundMe account was set up for the family. If you can anything will help. Please keep the families in your prayers.

MALVERN — A funeral will be held in Texas next week for a Malvern football player who was killed there while visiting his family.

Landin Robinson, 16, and his 18-year-old cousin, Klayton Manning, were shot Tuesday evening on a country road, according to the Caldwell County Sheriff.

Authorities found Robinson and Manning, a volunteer firefighter, dead near a Polaris side-by-side utility vehicle.

Evidence from the scene indicated the teens were shot while on the fire department vehicle and while trying to flee, according to a court complaint filed by a detective.

On Thursday, investigators arrested Bryan Haynes, 34, of Austin, and charged him with capital murder.

The sheriff’s office said Haynes, the only suspect in the case, was being held in lieu of $500,000 bond.

According to the complaint, Haynes told his brothers Tuesday night that he had shot two “aliens” who were chasing him in an ATV with firefighter decals.

Haynes said he shot the “aliens” multiple times and his account was consistent with the victims’ wounds and evidence at the scene, according to the complaint.

According to a GoFundMe account set up to raise money to pay for expenses caused by Robinson’s death, Landin’s mother, Amber Hise was at home in Ohio when she learned her son had been killed.

“Landin was the sweetest young man, he would give you the shirt off of his back,” writes Tiffani Cowan Hendrix, who organized the fundraiser. “He loved his sisters, loved his friends, and loved sports. He was a great kid!

“He aspired to be a welder and had plans to go to welding school after graduating from high school.”

“Words sometimes can’t describe how everything happened and how everything unfolded,” Malvern football coach Matt Chiurco said. “It’s just an absolute disaster.”

Robinson joined the team last year as a sophomore when his family moved to the district, but an injury limited him to playing special teams and a little bit on the line, Chiurco said.

“This year we were counting on him to probably be one of our tackles,” the coach said.

Robinson was a quiet, humble and coachable kid who was a good student and wanted to become a welder, his coach said.

Chiurco said he, a guidance counselor and a pastor spoke to the football players this week about Robinson’s death.

Brown Local Schools Superintendent Mark Scott said in-person, video and telephone counseling would be available for students, staff and families.

“The Brown Local School District family is deeply saddened by the loss of Landin and he will be greatly missed,” Scott wrote on Facebook.

On Monday, Chiurco, High School Principal Tim Babiczuck and guidance counselor Jeremy Taylor, who also coaches, will make the 21-hour drive to Luling.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —

Two LMPD officers are facing charges, accused of not properly helping a domestic violence victim who they say was later killed.

Amanda Berry, 33, was found dead in the basement of a home in the 3200 block of Virginia Avenue at the end of January. When police found her, they said it appeared her body had been there for a “long period of time.”

Watch the story from when she was found in the player above.

William Sloss was later charged with murder, domestic violence and abuse of a corpse in relation to her death. Neighbors identified Sloss as her boyfriend and said they had tried to help her escape the abusive relationship.

An arrest report revealed a lengthy history of alleged violence between the two.

According to a statement from LMPD, officers Kierstin Holman and Cody Luckett made contact with Berry on December 26, 2019, which couldn’t have been long before she died.

LMPD says a supervisor was doing a review of the Berry case for the Fatality Review Panel, held for all domestic violence homicides, and found the officers failed to provide Berry the proper assistance during the December encounter.

Misdemeanor summons were issued Thursday for violation of KRS 209A.120, or Duties of law enforcement to provide assistance.

Both officers have been on administrative reassignment since the case began in early March, LMPD said in a statement.

The case will now move to the Professional Standards Unit for a review of potential internal policy violations.

Virginia (NBC) (05/06/20)— Minor league baseball player Blake Bivens said he found out through Facebook that his wife, their 14-month-old son, and his mother-in-law had been killed.

Bivens, who pitched last season for the Montgomery, Alabama, Biscuits, a Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, opened up about the deaths in August while speaking with a pastor from The River Church in Danville, Virginia.

Matthew Bernard, his brother-in-law, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder. Bernard is accused of killing his mother, Joan Bernard, age 62; his sister Emily Bernard Bivens, age 25; and her child, Cullen Bivens, 14 months.

Bivens said he was with his teammates in Chattanooga, Tennessee, finishing up a series of games when he woke up and checked his phone but didn’t have any messages from his family. He logged on to Facebook and immediately saw a headline about a search for Bernard.

“I knew then there’s something going on so immediately called my parents,” Bivens said during a conversation that aired Sunday on Facebook Live. “They were trying to figure out everything that was going on also. I knew I needed to get my stuff together. I needed to probably get an airplane trip home, not knowing the extent of anything going on.”

The Rays arranged a flight for Bivens to head home to Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He said that while he waited at the airport, he checked Facebook again and the first thing that popped up was a headline that said two women and a small child had been killed.

“I immediately knew that was them. I found out my family was gone over a Facebook headline. And I just immediately began to scream in the middle of the airport,” he said.

Bivens said that during the plane ride home, he would just start shaking, and then he would break down and cry.

The Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office was called to a home in southern Virginia after a neighbor reported that someone might have been shot. Bernard was arrested while running around naked after an hours-long manhunt.

A competency review and determination hearing is scheduled for next week to determine whether Bernard is able to stand trial, according to ESPN.  

Bivens said the hardest moment came when he walked into his son’s room for the first time after his death.

“That was the worst moment in my life. Nothing ever will come close to feeling the way I felt at that moment. But then again, I know I will see him again one day, and it won’t be long,” he said.

Bivens said that his faith has been getting him through the more than eight months since the killings and that he has sought comfort in knowing that they are “in the arms of Jesus and they’re waiting for me to be there with them.”

“It’s been amazing how the Lord has helped and gave us peace through everything,” Bivens said.
