2 years is absolutely ridiculous.. he took away her whole LIFE and he'll get to live his in 2 years? rest in peace ciara, you deserve better. love you eleanor!
i agree! her siblings lost their sister, her parents lost their daughter, her friends lost their friend.. and he gets 2 years for taking her life forever
It's possible that he rolled on someone else to get a lighter sentence since he definitely knew a lot of criminals. That might have been why he was so flippant, because he knew he could get a deal
Karma is REAL . So we all may look at it and KNOW that he was dead ass wrong & should be in jail longer . Trust what goes around comes around what you put out there you will get it right back & that goes for everything & I still feel like even if he didn’t know there was a bullet in the head I still feel like he wanted to shoot her .
"If they verbally abuse you, they'll physically abuse you. And, if they physically abuse you they will kill you." This phrase has just latched into my brain forever, and hope that anyone that watched this video & is in this situation or knows someone in one can have that extra incentive. May Ciara rest in peace.
My haters throw rocks at me and IT hurts. I hope they don't throw The Rock at me because I like him as an actor. GAGAGAGAGA!!! I am funny!!! I am the funniest RUclipsr EVAH! Please agree, dear rohky
I got SO emotional when Eleanor started talking about the abuse Ciara was experiencing from her boyfriend because you could just tell how much she loved him
@Renee Davis Hi 👋❤️. I’m so sorry that you have also gone through this. Please know that this was NEVER LOVE. It’s heartbreaking for me to hear. I’m a survivor of domestic abuse also and one day he almost killed me. There are words sang by Michael Franti written by Bob Marley years ago that really apply” Don’t fear the night time...No..cause the Monsters know that you’re Divine!” Always know you’re own worth and don’t accept bruises for love. And don’t believe that you are anything but absolutely DIVINE. All love and positive vibes to you.🥰❤️🙏
She never walked away from him. The only thing she walked away from was getting shot, and only cuz she was in shock. I'm sure that if not for the shock she would've wanted to be with him until her dying breath, even if he had shot her on purpose (just cuz, if you're dying, you wanna be around people you love, cuz its what's most comforting) but instead of at least staying with her and making her comfortable, he dumped her in his neighbor's driveway, alone, and ran. So fucking sad for her.
@@nicoledoubleyou she got an order of protection against him a few days prior so I think she was trying to get away from him but it’s hard when you’re brainwashed and think you’re in love.
@@elypowell6797 I don’t think she was willing to die for him. She was attempting to get away and I’m sure was having a hard time or was tricked into going there which is possible based on the girl who stayed with her lying about the situation. If you’ve ever been in a toxic relationship with domestic violence involved it’s incredibly hard to leave the person. It defies all logic, you know you should leave and deserve better, but don’t. The most dangerous time for those in domestic violence situations is right after they do leave though, which fits this case.
Between 2-6 years?! He stole this beautiful girls life and he only has to be in jail for 2-6 years?! She deserved so much better and I hope her family gets more closure somehow. It is so upsetting that he hurt her so much and they didn’t see this as murder, and even if it was an accident, he didn’t care about hurting her or he would have stayed with her.
Yes agreed. It is a disgraceful sentence. He deserved so many more years in prison. He bought a gun and pointed it at the girl who had just left him and gotten a restraining order. How is that not a planned murder? He loaded that gun up. He knew there was a round in the chamber. He had to have known.
She was only 18!!! she could have lived a good 62 more years. He stole so much from her. Two years doesn’t do justice for what he took from her and her family.
I'm 43 and spent 20 years in a domestic violence relationship and you're never too young to learn about domestic violence and how to have a healthy relationship good on you for getting the word out there and letting people know it can happen to anyone
To ALL domestic abuse suffers.. If you're being told you're "not good enough" you're "ugly, fat, useless" then you are being abused. You do not have to be hit, kicked, punched to be abused. Verbal abuse can and does leave life long scars. If you are suffering from any form of abuse, please get help, get out, leave. You will be so much better off without that person. You can and will be happy without them. Take strength from someone that's been there and PLEASE look after yourself
I have been all kinds of abused my entire life but you don't know when you're a child and almost all of my mental problems come from two very toxic people I grew up with and the rest have come from so called "friends", an evil ex and my mom's piece of shit husband. Some days you really need this. I never liked her husband because he says everything is a joke when he's clearly being an asshole, and that's the least of it..
Absolutely I've been the victim of DV and sometimes the mental and verbal abuse is worse a black eye will go away, as horrible as that is, but that shit they drip into your head doesn't go away and I've been away from my abuser for 3 years and he actually died last year but I still jump when I see someone who looks like him and I'm 42 so I feel so so sad about this beautiful 18 year old girl with her whole.life ahead of her.
With his rap sheet, I’m genuinely surprised by his sentence. This is so disgusting. Her “friend” was NEVER really her friend and all of those assholes should have been charged.
My childhood friend was murdered by her husband and partner for nine years, she left behind a little girl. I’d like for you to cover up her story because she hasn’t had justice and her family are too scared to try to put him to jail because he has connections with someone inside the police office, etc. There’s so much about her story, it’s mind blowing and it makes me sad.
I don’t remember who said this and I don’t remember it exactly but it was “anyone wonder why most guys have a crazy ex girlfriend story but you hardly hear stories about a crazy ex boyfriend? Because most girls don’t make it out alive “ and oh my god it breaks my heart
This is my cousin she had a beautiful smile and a loving soul she is truly missed...she loved family for real I remember a family reunion in florida she was a amazing person...R.I.P. CECE 🙏🏾💔
I don’t know if it’s just me but when she says solved at the start it makes me feel less anxious because even though the victim can’t get back at least they got justice
It isn’t just you, growing up as a kid I used to watch episodes of unsolved mysteries in the evening with my mom who has long been a viewer of true crime shows. I always hated the ending of each episode because the it was like a tragic open ending with no resolve and that made me sad and frustrated as the host Robert Stack would ask the viewers to go their website to submit any information/tips which I’m sure must’ve been helpful in the long run, but back then all I heard was unsolved.
Although not true in this particular case, there are PLENTY of people who will not open their doors to police without a warrant. Not because they are guilty, but for their own safety.
Unfortunately I think after the sentence has already been decided it is too late? I think they can't change it now because that would probably be considered double jeopardy. I am not completely sure though about that. I know He definitely can't be tried twice for the same crime though. He definitely deserves a much longer sentence. In my opinion they really messed up just charging him with manslaughter to begin with.
We can’t because that’d be double jeopardy. I believe when it’s time for him to be released we make sure he can’t integrate in society cause he doesn’t deserve to.
@@bakedtiffany3152 Well the end goal of prison is reform. It may be short, but if he can be reformed properly, then not only will he recognize his fault, but become a better person. Or he’s gonna be a gang banger, which is most likely.
Especially since it was his GIRLFRIEND. He will probably have more partners in his life and they will all be in danger just because he was 17 when he did it the first time
He didn’t kill her by accident or as a joke. He’s an abuser and he meant what he did. He didn’t “seem” anything he’s an actor and a psychopath just as he acted like he cared for her parents and continuously love bombed her
Yes I agree with you. I do not feel this was done as an accident. He should have known he had a round chambered in that gun. It was his gun and he must have loaded it so he would have known he had actually chambered a round too. I believe he bought that gun after she left him with the intention of killing her. He should have gotten more than manslaughter. The others that left and covered for him should have gotten charged as accessories after the fact. They covered for him at the start of the investigation. They carried the victim out and left her on the neighbor's driveway. They didn't let the police in the house. The women who were Jermaine's sisters probably cleaned up blood in the house. If they did that that would be destroying evidence. The police should have checked if any blood at the scene had been cleaned up. They could have sprayed the luminol stuff around and looked for any evidence they had just been cleaning.
Maybe because the judge couldn't find what is called 'intention', because the guy said he didn't realise the gun was still loaded even according to him, he thought he had removed the bullets. Intention is required to satisfy 1st degree homicide, so that save his rarse
@@ilickgrandmas2854 ???? Why ???? Maybe your comment got deleted because you’re saying bigoted things and taking RUclips comments not directed at you extremely personally
Ciara had the most beautiful, infectious, smile. Seeing her pictures while watching this made me involuntarily start to smile too. I can only imagine what that was like in person and it is absolutely infuriating that she is gone now because of a senseless "joke". On top of the fact that while she was still alive, the person that she gave her entire heart to hurt her relentlessly and without remorse. My heart is broken for her, her family, and her friends, rest in peace. Thank you for covering this story.
she ended up dead because she had people in her life like you that are too busy calling anyone who should have told her "grow up and find another man" a victim blamer.
@@doberman2yk you've obviously never tried to talk to someone in a bad relationship 🙄 they only leave when they're ready and fed up not when someone says "you should leave" who is blaming the victim here?
@@alysiarenc91 you know what, i spoke to someone in the comments section today that has opened my mind up abit before i made this comment. While i still think SOME women do invite trouble with their choice of boyfreinds, i do fully accept that some men are also very calculated in how they come across at first. I hope this is something we can both agree on. Apologies for any offence caused.
@@doberman2yk this is an unbelievably disgusting thing to say. if you don't understand the very basic psychology behind abusive relationships, don't say anything at all. this extremely hurtful.
To anyone reading this, please know that however long you’ve been a relationship, if they start hitting or abusing you it MUST be a deal breaker, not a “one time thing” or something they “only do when they’re angry”. There’s no excuse for it no matter how much you love them 💕
and reminder that there are non-physical forms of abuse as well! if someone is telling you what you can and can’t do, who you can and can’t hang out with, etc. beyond reasonably not wanting you to do anything dangerous and not wanting you to hang out alone with your long term recent ex, that’s abuse. if someone is talking down to you and making you feel like they’re the only person who would ever “stoop low enough” to date you, and that you should be grateful you have them, that’s abuse. if you have to let them know of your whereabouts 24/7 and need permission to do basic things like go hang out with your family, that’s abuse. and much more. plus- abuse basically never gets better, it just escalates. please get out while you can. you deserve better.
I’m so glad I got out of my abusive relationship fine, but it was hard as I was pregnant with his child at the time aswell, glad she was okay through what he did to me, so so sad she didn’t survive 😢😢
Yes I lived on the street over the day it happened. I also went to young woman’s prep with her I woke up and heard the swat team demanding the people in the house to come out the house when they found her dead in the drive way 😢
@@hafsahdar9133 no I lived the next street over my moms window was open I was up getting ready for school you can hear the sway team demanding them to come out the house they were on a speaker so all the streets over heard I lived on Mohawk st which is the street over from where her body was found
Such a loss of this beautiful girl. She had her whole life in front of her and this loser erased it all. She deserved to find real love, she deserved to have a family, she deserved to chase her dreams and grow into who she was meant to be. For all you young women out there, you’re worth more than putting up with an abusive partner 💔
Frr i hate when police do this my aunt got into a car accident and passed away. The accident was at like 7 something and me and my family didn’t find out until 2 am .
What kind of “friend” goes with her knowing what kind of man she is without trying to talk her out of it, supporting this decision and then covering for the man that has beat her friend. This story hits home for me. It’s really hard to get out of an abusive relationship. One of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through with finally leaving him.
Girl you can’t make nobody leave who doesn’t want to leave. I’m pretty sure her friend said something. Nothing much you can do if ya friend won’t take ya advice.
It’s not really cruel they did it out of necessity to try to ensure that they get justice for their daughter, had they told the parents then they would in all likelihood tell someone else extended family, neighbours that see them distraught etc. Then they tell someone else until word gets back to the suspects and their plan fails and they potentially never get evidence and the killer goes unfound. I’m sure the parents would much rather be told a little later and find their child’s killer than be told straight away and never get the truth.
Her family were PISSED! Ciara mom was a single mom.. no dad.. prob why Jermain wasn't beat up or killed for all the abuse. Anyways They filed a lawsuit, wouldn't work with police since they felt like police weren't on their side. Etc. U guys should watch interview with her family. This was an episode on Fatal attraction TV one
@@the4tierbridge I mean they did lose their loved one so I don’t blame them for being emotional, but I do accept that the police were doing what they had to do.
Was the domestic abuse not considered as part of his sentence? It’s utterly insane that he was given 2 - 6 years, even 6 years is too little. As you say, we need to keep sharing Ciara’s story and talking about these issues.
I found it strange that when her momma took her to the hospital and was getting treated for getting beaten with whatever she got hit with they didn’t ask *how* she got hit. They definitely should’ve called the cops after that.
I’m wondering if his sentence would be a lot longer as in those other charges he had would be added on in the future so he actually won’t be getting out in 2-6 years.
She chose to go see him so that makes him look good since she didn't get contacted by him while she was avoiding him. THAT is why he didn't get more time. She made her choice unfortunately and paid the ultimate price! 💐
Domestic violence is insidious, and you never think it's going to happen to you until it does. My teenage brother started hurting everyone in my house, and I didn't realise how bad it was until I moved back to the city and in with my parents and he hurt me too; turns out my parents were covering for him because he was 14, but he broke my dad's wrist. It's not ok, it's never ok, and I'm happy he's now getting help dealing with his anger and not hurting us. Thank you for sharing this dear girl's story, she didn't deserve what happened to her. I hope Ciara is resting peacefully, she shouldn't have died so young.
He’s so young still, 14 is a child. Its never ok to behave that way, still he deserves the chance to turn his behavior around and I’m hoping he grows up a good man and has remorse for the way he acted. Good luck to y’all!
This exact thing happened to my cousin when she turned 18. Her boyfriend pointed the gun at her head. It was so hard for our family, her father ended up so sad he drank himself to death. It’s so sad. I’ve learned if someone is okay with hitting you they’re probably okay with killing you
What kind of person allows their "best friend" to visit a man they know has been horribly abusing them and then lies to defend him even after knowing he killed her??
Her best friend was his sister. In abusive relationships, his family will be all you have because he's separated you from your own friends and family. Unfortunately, this is another tragic example of why you can't just cut off communication with an abuser but all their family and friends too.
From the story she obviously was not going to be stopped from Seeing him. The victim has to take some responsibility. She pretty much dug her own grave. Everyone was trying to help but she didn’t want it
@@TheOtherSideOfAlice The responsibility should never be on the victim. The sole cause of her problems was the perpetrator. The abuser is the one who needs to be held accountable. Victim blaming is disgusting.
TheOtherSideOfAlice for your sake i hope you are never forced to learn how absolutely wrong you are to say this is in any way the victim’s fault. that’s a horribly ignorant and disgusting thing to say. i hope you never have to see how bad it can really get.
I was in a physically and emotionally abusiverelationship, and seeing what she went through makes me sick. I was so brainwashed, and once I finally left and got put of his mind games I was like "why the hell did I ever love him?" and I never missed him or wanted him back since. his family was just as bad. get out while you can, trust me, it might be hard, but it's so worth it.
Obviously I feel so bad for Ciara, but her poor mom knowing what she was going through but with no way to stop it 😭 Does anyone know if you can press charges even if the victim doesn't co-operate?
I'm glad you've covered this case, it breaks my heart hearing about people in domestically abusive relationships who believe their partner will 'change' or blame themselves. That poor girl 💔
The fact that there was a little baby in that house while all that occurred is disgusting. Some people just do not deserve beautiful sweet innocent kids!!
I don’t think there was really any children, I believe it was just a made up story on the spot to take away attention from the house. Unless there was a detail I missed then please inform me
@@taylorisaak9882 Sadly it wasn't entirely fabricated, his baby really was in the house and you can see one of the sisters carrying him/her at 26:58 😥 I guess Eleanor didn't really notice this either otherwise she definitely would've commented on how horrible that was
The sentencing absolutely pisses me off. TWO TO SIX YEARS for taking an innocent life, and I feel like there’s still something that group didn’t tell, and the fact that they pretty much all left her to bleed out makes them look a whole lot worse. I have a huge feeling that maybe the boyfriend did in fact know that the gun had a bullet in it. This is not justice, Ciara deserved so much better
I think he knew too. He loaded that gun up so he would have had to know he had chambered a round. I think he bought that gun after she left him and got the restraining order. The police would have taken it from him when they served him with the order if he had had it before. He got it after with the intention of killing her. He bought it from some random guy so he didn't need to get a background check. I think the fact that he had just barely gotten the gun after she left him kind of shows intent. So they should have gone for more than manslaughter. They should have at least gone for 2nd degree murder. In my opinion. Also the others should have gotten charged as accessories too. They carried her out and left her in the driveway, also they wouldn't cooperate with the police and probably cleaned up the crime scene.
Yes. Even if the main charge was manslaughter, they could have tacked on more charges like failing to administer aid or fleeing.. the laws vary state to state but most have something like that. And it also could be 2nd or 3rd degree murder instead of manslaughter for a longer charge, probably.
Thank you for bringing this case to life and thank you for covering a case that involves a black woman. In our community a lot of black women go unnoticed or don’t get acknowledged especially when it comes to abuse. We appreciate you for this one
This poor girl...she was so bright and so pretty and had such big plans. I cannot imagine the betrayal she and her family must have felt on this occasion. If any of her friends and family are reading this I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you.
Its terrifying how easily someone could be put in such a tragic situation by just associating with the wrong kind of people. How horrible. This truly is such a tragic and horrible situation. I wish her family healing and peace.
How they treated her after she was shot was so messed up, they didn’t treat her like their brothers love since childhood or a sister or a friend just trash, shame to their family!
Girl your concern for your viewers made me cry. Having experienced abuse myself (I’m out of that situation luckily), it just touched me so much to see you care and try to warn other potential victims against this type of people. Thank you for sharing stories like these, and for helping share the fact that it’s not the victim’s fault❤️
The first 6 months after leaving an abusive relationship are when you are at the highest risk of being murdered. Everyone take care and keep your guard up. Stay safe💜
How is it that none of them got a charge when they all lied and covered for him. They were given multiple chances to tell the truth and the only reason the “friend” did was because they knew/suspected he did it. That pisses me off
I'm from Rochester NY and we have a homicide almost daily. So I think it's sadly part of our culture because you're more likely to die by telling then the police arresting the person first. I mean CC died 6 days after her protection order. It's very sad. 😔😢
@@RubyOnixx Yh I totally get that and it’s sad for her to die by protecting herself (which is why my head in a situation like her would be once I start telling I’m never going back. You cannot trust them. Ps I don’t blame her). My thing though is they kept secret and if the parents never told them about the boyfriend they would never have said anything and he would have never been court. God forbid he would have done it to someone else. So they should have gone to jail. Especially the “friend” she’s fake for that. I honestly believe they all set her up that night. That’s why they never spoke or changed stories so much. Didn’t want to get caught in knowing before hand what he wanted to do.
Sadly this is easier said than done. We need to look out for each other more, if our friend, sister, brother, etc is in a toxic relationship, get them help because more often than not, they won't take action themselves.
@@nache61 yes her murder is 14 and she is 13, it’s very sad and recent, only happened last month, so i don’t think there’s enough information to cover it
I'm heart broken for the ma. Imagine knowing that your little girl that you raised getting beat by a pathetic worm and ended up dying in their hands :(
@Chocolate Stars tbh. It seems cruel but when I start seeing bruises and how confident the guy was that she wouldn't snitch on him im calling it off from there. Hell I would've made it a step extra and transferred her
2-6 YEARS?!?! She was soo young and it breaks my heart. My brother was murdered in 2018 and was only 16 by 5 people who known him well and were his "friends." The world is so cruel. Praying for her family, she deserved so much better!
I agree, it takes a long time to research these videos even if she has an editor to speed up the process its still a lot of work to do, so I hope she doesnt burn out and is just catching up woth videos she already had filmed
I grow up here and proverty is very high and her story is so sad. Can you do my cousin Stepany Givens. She was 13 years old and killed by a classmate in 90's.
I wish you wouldn’t have said that it makes you look guilty if you make the police get a search warrant in order to search your property... it doesn’t!! Even if you’re completely innocent, always make them get a search warrant!!
yes especially if your community, especially the black community, has been mistreated for decades by the police, ofc you’re going to ask for a search warrant!
I’ve watched a ton of these true crime channels and I swear; no one tells it as respectfully, professionally, and as articulate as Eleanor does. She’s just such a sweet, warming, and caring disposition.
Totally agree. There may be others, but Eleanor is my first in this minimalist format. And I love how for every video, she seems to be super invested, reflected in her inflection in the narration. And how the victims, and their backstories, are always the main focus as much as possible.
Eleanor: "and who's kid is awake at 1am asking for sweets" Me: remembering last night when my kid couldn't/wouldn't go to sleep and was asking for sweets lol.
You'd think one of the FIRST things the police would do is check the victim's record to see whether they had any protection orders out against anybody...
they wouldn’t have to if they thought the person was in a healthy relationship,, the police didn’t know about the abusive relationship until they talked to the mom
@@vnzalol2364 why would you not check, though? Why would you assume everyone has a healthy relationship when someone got shot? It's just bad detective work. You need to check everything you can.
@@TheReducedsodium I agree it’s bad detective work cuz it seems they didn’t check who owned the house or anything. They didn’t even know that the two sisters lived in the house until they put all of the pieces together. All the evidence and clues they got were given by other people, they didn’t find or do anything themselves.
The swat team came in following her death to arrest the perps. She was left in a driveway to die no one helped her therefor police werent notified sadly.
This case is one that hits close to home, I myself was in an extremely abusive relationship, the guy lived in a different state and wouldn’t let me leave his house to catch my plane back home. I am forever grateful for my mother for eventually helping me out of that situation, I probably wouldn’t be here anymore without her. Mothers deserve so much more recognition than they get
I know it’s been said before but I really appreciate you covering cases with black victims. 🙏🏾 On another note, it is insane the number of murder cases have to do with domestic abuse. So many people say women are emotional but it’s really crazy men like this, who decide to abuse and eventually kill someone when they don’t get their way! COWARDS 😤
This one got me. I left an abusive relationship a few months ago. I can't count the number of times my mom sat with me on the phone while I cried comforting me and telling me I deserved better. Your videos have really been helping me through this.. As weird as that sounds I don't feel so alone. Thank you.
Anyone here that sees this, please please please remember abuse isn’t just physical! It’s comes in different forms such as emotional/verbal, sexual, mental/psychological and financial. You’re not alone and there are people out there that will listen to you and help! Never be ashamed to talk about your situation because we’d rather hear your story than hear your eulogy 🖤🖤🖤
please also remember that as a grown woman, you can leave the abusive man and get yourself someone who isnt abusive. ....yes... i know im going to get a bunch of angry female teens calling me a "victim blamer" but the reality is my advise would have saved her life.... your advise would have kept her in the relationship feeling like a victim and it would have ended with the same result. Its really quiet simple....fight your urge of going for "the bad boy"... they are called that for a reason.
@@doberman2yk my advise wins😡😡😍🧚🏻🧚🏻yoU gUys lose👨🦳🦶🏻🦶🏻💋💋…like sis it ain’t that easy. Also way to dismiss yourself, you know yo ass victim blaming so u put a warning 😂 plus think of the many grown women in financial burdens. People really think we can just get up and walk away lol. Also to add on, what is, “feeling like a victim” CeCe was being abused…so she was a victim…victims feel like victims cuz they are…🤨ANYWAYS, hope u get out that mind set, cuz if u become a victim I have a feeling u gonna push all ur feelings down lol, but of course, that’s just me. Have a wonderful day/evening/night 😳👍
It’s not unusual for ugly men to get pretty women and then abuse them. It’s a game they play to see if they can get someone out of their class so they’re charming and sweet at the beginning. Unlike men, women aren’t generally that concerned about looks but rather how someone treats them. She was so in love with him and afraid of him afterwards she was trapped. He revealed the real demon he was - who the hell pulls out a gun and presses it against someone in jest? And he didn’t know there was a bullet in the chamber and he’s a gang member? He’s handled guns before, he knew what he was doing and he was angry at the thought of losing his grip on her.Come on!!!
An abusive man doesn’t change after less than a week, but I guess when your 18 you don’t realize that yet. Doesn’t make sense to protect the abusive ex that just shot your “best friend” though
I love the way you tell these story and remain so unbiased. The dignity and respect you have for the victuals their story is very refreshing. Respect ✊🏿
I admire Ciara's mother. You can tell she really loved her child, and I cant imagine how hard it was for her to not be able to protect her. What a wonderful woman to do everything in her power for her child. ❤️
Eleanor, I am a survivor of DV, I so appreciate you doing this video and urging people to reach out for help. You are a beautiful light in this world. 💕
this is why it is so, so important to be careful who you surround yourself with. People are so heartless these days, Rest in Peace, Ciara. And everyone, please stay safe out there!
Brilliant of you to make such a big deal out of why you’ve chosen this case, and to post all the helpline info. It’s so important that we women look after each other, and for someone with the influence, and audience demographic, that you have, it’s going to make a world of difference, for you to highlight issues like this. 👏🏻♥️
I don’t get what Ciara found in that guy .... I was imagining him being super handsome while you were talking about how obsessed this Ciara was with him but when you showed the photo I was like wtf? He was ugly inside and I’d say outside too
I was saying the same thing. I was like shes so pretty he has to be handsome for her to be all in love with him like this enough to keep staying with him while hes hurting her he has to bring something to the table and then that picture popped up on the screen smh wtf
Is it bad that the more I watch these and the more interested I get about true crime, I also have become 10 times more paranoid? It’s like I get get scared to be home alone or anywhere alone but I can’t stop watching these videos because they’re so interesting.
Me I’ve been watching a lot of true crime and now am paranoid of everyone and everywhere I go. I watch my surroundings constantly looking for suspicious people or anybody who could have a gun or knife. Stay safe out there
Reminder never to talk to, allow searches or answer questions for cops without a lawyer or a warrant. The idea that asking for those things implies guilt is an scare tactic from cops. They can, will and have twisted peoples’ words and anything they find when you don’t have a lawyer and a warrant.
Guilty or not New Yorkers or anyone from a city in the U.S. would never trust cops to come in without a warrant if they didn’t call them or know someone who called them.
This is the first case ive heard where ive actually been satisfied with the police work, Especially in the first day of the investigation. They actually did as much as they could in the moment.
When she said "who kids are up at 1am," I automatically went "it’s the hood babe, all the kids are up at 1am, I’d be concerned if they weren’t up at 1am." 😭😂
@@radi0activedonutsx3 That's right! I totes forgot that when someone makes a comment on a public forum, no one is allowed to comment on it FOR ANY REASON! XD Get off.
This breaks my heart. As someone who has been in an abusive relationship, I feel how hard it is to break it off, and to move on and not let them control you. She was so young, and she was so full of life. She deserved so much better.
I got out of an abusive relationship, it was very hard but I was hurting too much, I urge any one going through it to just get out, and to remind yourself you will be 100% better once u do get out. Once I did I finally was happy again and 3 years later I'm now engaged to a wonderful man!

The guy who handed over the CCTV tapes is the real hero here.
He still didn't call the police or an ambulance after having witnessed everything that was going outside his house. It is a little disappointing.
@@ishitasingh3288 he didn’t witness what happened it was just on his camera. And hearing gunshots in Rochester is not uncommon.
so true.. if he didn’t hand it over or give out information.. this case could possibly still be unsolved today or still going on
yes!!
@@ishitasingh3288 well he didn’t see anything he just heard and saw them dragging her out
2 years is absolutely ridiculous.. he took away her whole LIFE and he'll get to live his in 2 years? rest in peace ciara, you deserve better. love you eleanor!
i agree! her siblings lost their sister, her parents lost their daughter, her friends lost their friend.. and he gets 2 years for taking her life forever
It's possible that he rolled on someone else to get a lighter sentence since he definitely knew a lot of criminals. That might have been why he was so flippant, because he knew he could get a deal
He is ugly on the inside and outside. 🤯 she could have done 1000x's better in a boyfriend‼️😭😭😭💔💔💔😫😣😖
Yes. So young. Sadly these male killers are younger and younger.
Karma is REAL . So we all may look at it and KNOW that he was dead ass wrong & should be in jail longer . Trust what goes around comes around what you put out there you will get it right back & that goes for everything & I still feel like even if he didn’t know there was a bullet in the head I still feel like he wanted to shoot her .
That poor girl and her family. She was a victim of abuse and deserved so much better
couldn't be more true.

"If they verbally abuse you, they'll physically abuse you. And, if they physically abuse you they will kill you."

@Renee Davis i completely feel everything you just said :( sending love and healing your way
This isn't 'love' it's a trauma bond.
:(
Ciara *
@Renee Davis Hi 👋❤️. I’m so sorry that you have also gone through this. Please know that this was NEVER LOVE. It’s heartbreaking for me to hear. I’m a survivor of domestic abuse also and one day he almost killed me. There are words sang by Michael Franti written by Bob Marley years ago that really apply” Don’t fear the night time...No..cause the Monsters know that you’re Divine!” Always know you’re own worth and don’t accept bruises for love. And don’t believe that you are anything but absolutely DIVINE. All love and positive vibes to you.🥰❤️🙏
That poor girl was so trauma bonded to that boy she couldn’t walk away until it was too late. Nobody deserves that abuse, that is not love.
She never walked away from him. The only thing she walked away from was getting shot, and only cuz she was in shock. I'm sure that if not for the shock she would've wanted to be with him until her dying breath, even if he had shot her on purpose (just cuz, if you're dying, you wanna be around people you love, cuz its what's most comforting) but instead of at least staying with her and making her comfortable, he dumped her in his neighbor's driveway, alone, and ran. So fucking sad for her.
@@nicoledoubleyou she got an order of protection against him a few days prior so I think she was trying to get away from him but it’s hard when you’re brainwashed and think you’re in love.
@@elypowell6797 I don’t think she was willing to die for him. She was attempting to get away and I’m sure was having a hard time or was tricked into going there which is possible based on the girl who stayed with her lying about the situation. If you’ve ever been in a toxic relationship with domestic violence involved it’s incredibly hard to leave the person. It defies all logic, you know you should leave and deserve better, but don’t. The most dangerous time for those in domestic violence situations is right after they do leave though, which fits this case.
@@elypowell6797 not the victim shaming.
@@elypowell6797 she wasnt where did you get that from,SHE GOT A PROTECTION ORDER
Between 2-6 years?! He stole this beautiful girls life and he only has to be in jail for 2-6 years?! She deserved so much better and I hope her family gets more closure somehow. It is so upsetting that he hurt her so much and they didn’t see this as murder, and even if it was an accident, he didn’t care about hurting her or he would have stayed with her.
Yes agreed. It is a disgraceful sentence. He deserved so many more years in prison. He bought a gun and pointed it at the girl who had just left him and gotten a restraining order. How is that not a planned murder? He loaded that gun up. He knew there was a round in the chamber. He had to have known.
I'll just say this in one comment....reddit doxxers will not let him live comfortably. He may think he got away light, but netizens dont forget.
She was only 18!!! she could have lived a good 62 more years. He stole so much from her. Two years doesn’t do justice for what he took from her and her family.
I'm 43 and spent 20 years in a domestic violence relationship and you're never too young to learn about domestic violence and how to have a healthy relationship good on you for getting the word out there and letting people know it can happen to anyone
Sending happiness to you 💖
P😊
To ALL domestic abuse suffers.. If you're being told you're "not good enough" you're "ugly, fat, useless" then you are being abused. You do not have to be hit, kicked, punched to be abused. Verbal abuse can and does leave life long scars. If you are suffering from any form of abuse, please get help, get out, leave. You will be so much better off without that person. You can and will be happy without them. Take strength from someone that's been there and PLEASE look after yourself
Thank you so much.
100% agree
I have been all kinds of abused my entire life but you don't know when you're a child and almost all of my mental problems come from two very toxic people I grew up with and the rest have come from so called "friends", an evil ex and my mom's piece of shit husband. Some days you really need this. I never liked her husband because he says everything is a joke when he's clearly being an asshole, and that's the least of it..
Absolutely I've been the victim of DV and sometimes the mental and verbal abuse is worse a black eye will go away, as horrible as that is, but that shit they drip into your head doesn't go away and I've been away from my abuser for 3 years and he actually died last year but I still jump when I see someone who looks like him and I'm 42 so I feel so so sad about this beautiful 18 year old girl with her whole.life ahead of her.
I love how Eleanor how she doesn’t put scary music
Frr background music is distracting sometimes
true
Me too
No drama, just the straight story
Americans tend to over use backround music, its refreshing to not hear it constantly.
With his rap sheet, I’m genuinely surprised by his sentence. This is so disgusting. Her “friend” was NEVER really her friend and all of those assholes should have been charged.
EVERY. SINGLE. LAST. ONE! I really feel like she was set up..
I COMPLETELY agree! This is BS.... like her life taken didn't matter!
My childhood friend was murdered by her husband and partner for nine years, she left behind a little girl. I’d like for you to cover up her story because she hasn’t had justice and her family are too scared to try to put him to jail because he has connections with someone inside the police office, etc. There’s so much about her story, it’s mind blowing and it makes me sad.

It isn’t just you, growing up as a kid I used to watch episodes of unsolved mysteries in the evening with my mom who has long been a viewer of true crime shows. I always hated the ending of each episode because the it was like a tragic open ending with no resolve and that made me sad and frustrated as the host Robert Stack would ask the viewers to go their website to submit any information/tips which I’m sure must’ve been helpful in the long run, but back then all I heard was unsolved.
ruclips.net/video/PZGT8u0vGds/видео.html
Same! I want justice!
In this case, it wasn't much in the way of justice at all unfortunately. I suppose its better than nothing though.
nobody cares why are you commenting this lol
Although not true in this particular case, there are PLENTY of people who will not open their doors to police without a warrant. Not because they are guilty, but for their own safety.
Could we petition for jermaine to get a longer sentence? 2-6 years for taking someone’s life with no remorse sounds wild crazy
Unfortunately I think after the sentence has already been decided it is too late? I think they can't change it now because that would probably be considered double jeopardy. I am not completely sure though about that. I know He definitely can't be tried twice for the same crime though. He definitely deserves a much longer sentence. In my opinion they really messed up just charging him with manslaughter to begin with.
We can’t because that’d be double jeopardy. I believe when it’s time for him to be released we make sure he can’t integrate in society cause he doesn’t deserve to.
@@bakedtiffany3152 Well the end goal of prison is reform. It may be short, but if he can be reformed properly, then not only will he recognize his fault, but become a better person. Or he’s gonna be a gang banger, which is most likely.
Nope
Especially since it was his GIRLFRIEND. He will probably have more partners in his life and they will all be in danger just because he was 17 when he did it the first time
He didn’t kill her by accident or as a joke. He’s an abuser and he meant what he did. He didn’t “seem” anything he’s an actor and a psychopath just as he acted like he cared for her parents and continuously love bombed her
Wow instead of leaving her he killed her. He's so pathetic.
Yeah, no. Unless something more than an educated guess can be made, it's manslaughter. Feelings don't matter in a court of law.
Ugh, fucking love bombing. XC
Yes I agree with you. I do not feel this was done as an accident. He should have known he had a round chambered in that gun. It was his gun and he must have loaded it so he would have known he had actually chambered a round too. I believe he bought that gun after she left him with the intention of killing her. He should have gotten more than manslaughter. The others that left and covered for him should have gotten charged as accessories after the fact. They covered for him at the start of the investigation. They carried the victim out and left her on the neighbor's driveway. They didn't let the police in the house. The women who were Jermaine's sisters probably cleaned up blood in the house. If they did that that would be destroying evidence. The police should have checked if any blood at the scene had been cleaned up. They could have sprayed the luminol stuff around and looked for any evidence they had just been cleaning.
How would it work to kill someone as a "joke"? There's no funny in it.
2 YEARS IN PRISON FOR KILLING SOMEONE?!!!!! that is an absolute joke.
I know , some drug dealers have got longer sentences .it’s crazy
Maybe because the judge couldn't find what is called 'intention', because the guy said he didn't realise the gun was still loaded even according to him, he thought he had removed the bullets. Intention is required to satisfy 1st degree homicide, so that save his rarse
So true! It should be a lot more! How twisted can a person be to even imagine offing someone?!

@@doberman2yk this is an unbelievably disgusting thing to say. if you don't understand the very basic psychology behind abusive relationships, don't say anything at all. this extremely hurtful.
To anyone reading this, please know that however long you’ve been a relationship, if they start hitting or abusing you it MUST be a deal breaker, not a “one time thing” or something they “only do when they’re angry”. There’s no excuse for it no matter how much you love them 💕
and reminder that there are non-physical forms of abuse as well! if someone is telling you what you can and can’t do, who you can and can’t hang out with, etc. beyond reasonably not wanting you to do anything dangerous and not wanting you to hang out alone with your long term recent ex, that’s abuse. if someone is talking down to you and making you feel like they’re the only person who would ever “stoop low enough” to date you, and that you should be grateful you have them, that’s abuse. if you have to let them know of your whereabouts 24/7 and need permission to do basic things like go hang out with your family, that’s abuse. and much more. plus- abuse basically never gets better, it just escalates. please get out while you can. you deserve better.

it was so cruel to not tell the parents right away when their daughter passed away
It’s not really cruel they did it out of necessity to try to ensure that they get justice for their daughter, had they told the parents then they would in all likelihood tell someone else extended family, neighbours that see them distraught etc. Then they tell someone else until word gets back to the suspects and their plan fails and they potentially never get evidence and the killer goes unfound. I’m sure the parents would much rather be told a little later and find their child’s killer than be told straight away and never get the truth.
Her family were PISSED! Ciara mom was a single mom.. no dad.. prob why Jermain wasn't beat up or killed for all the abuse.

Was the domestic abuse not considered as part of his sentence? It’s utterly insane that he was given 2 - 6 years, even 6 years is too little. As you say, we need to keep sharing Ciara’s story and talking about these issues.
I found it strange that when her momma took her to the hospital and was getting treated for getting beaten with whatever she got hit with they didn’t ask *how* she got hit. They definitely should’ve called the cops after that.
@@vergodagoat Yes, but as she said, Ciara was so in love with her boyfriend she wouldn’t had press charges.
I’m wondering if his sentence would be a lot longer as in those other charges he had would be added on in the future so he actually won’t be getting out in 2-6 years.
And violating an op
She chose to go see him so that makes him look good since she didn't get contacted by him while she was avoiding him. THAT is why he didn't get more time. She made her choice unfortunately and paid the ultimate price! 💐
Domestic violence is insidious, and you never think it's going to happen to you until it does. My teenage brother started hurting everyone in my house, and I didn't realise how bad it was until I moved back to the city and in with my parents and he hurt me too; turns out my parents were covering for him because he was 14, but he broke my dad's wrist. It's not ok, it's never ok, and I'm happy he's now getting help dealing with his anger and not hurting us. Thank you for sharing this dear girl's story, she didn't deserve what happened to her. I hope Ciara is resting peacefully, she shouldn't have died so young.
Glad he’s getting help at a young age.
He’s so young still, 14 is a child. Its never ok to behave that way, still he deserves the chance to turn his behavior around and I’m hoping he grows up a good man and has remorse for the way he acted. Good luck to y’all!
That’s horrible I hope it gets better
This exact thing happened to my cousin when she turned 18. Her boyfriend pointed the gun at her head. It was so hard for our family, her father ended up so sad he drank himself to death. It’s so sad. I’ve learned if someone is okay with hitting you they’re probably okay with killing you

Domestic abuse is just horrifying to hear. Being a mom watching your daughter in this situation where there is no easy choice
What kind of person allows their "best friend" to visit a man they know has been horribly abusing them and then lies to defend him even after knowing he killed her??
Her best friend was his sister. In abusive relationships, his family will be all you have because he's separated you from your own friends and family. Unfortunately, this is another tragic example of why you can't just cut off communication with an abuser but all their family and friends too.
From the story she obviously was not going to be stopped from
Seeing him. The victim has to take some responsibility. She pretty much dug her own grave. Everyone was trying to help but she didn’t want it
@@TheOtherSideOfAlice The responsibility should never be on the victim. The sole cause of her problems was the perpetrator. The abuser is the one who needs to be held accountable. Victim blaming is disgusting.
@@yesimsureienteredmynamecorrect the girls that were his sisters were not the girl that was her “friend”. His sisters were found later
TheOtherSideOfAlice for your sake i hope you are never forced to learn how absolutely wrong you are to say this is in any way the victim’s fault. that’s a horribly ignorant and disgusting thing to say. i hope you never have to see how bad it can really get.
I was in a physically and emotionally abusiverelationship, and seeing what she went through makes me sick. I was so brainwashed, and once I finally left and got put of his mind games I was like "why the hell did I ever love him?" and I never missed him or wanted him back since. his family was just as bad. get out while you can, trust me, it might be hard, but it's so worth it.
I had a similar experience and echo your sentiments to others suffering
I’m glad you got out, I hope you’re doing okay mentally now ❤️
i am so happy you were able to get yourself out of that situation. you truly don’t realize how deep you are in it until you get out.
I'm so glad you got out you deserve the best someone who treats you right and loves you and respects you. xx

The fact that there was a little baby in that house while all that occurred is disgusting. Some people just do not deserve beautiful sweet innocent kids!!

@@taylorisaak9882 Sadly it wasn't entirely fabricated, his baby really was in the house and you can see one of the sisters carrying him/her at 26:58 😥 I guess Eleanor didn't really notice this either otherwise she definitely would've commented on how horrible that was
@@taylorisaak9882 one of the women is literally carrying a baby while being escorted by swat. She’s wearing pink idk how everyone is missing her
I love how you have put Helplines in the description.
The sentencing absolutely pisses me off. TWO TO SIX YEARS for taking an innocent life, and I feel like there’s still something that group didn’t tell, and the fact that they pretty much all left her to bleed out makes them look a whole lot worse. I have a huge feeling that maybe the boyfriend did in fact know that the gun had a bullet in it. This is not justice, Ciara deserved so much better
I think he knew too. He loaded that gun up so he would have had to know he had chambered a round. I think he bought that gun after she left him and got the restraining order. The police would have taken it from him when they served him with the order if he had had it before. He got it after with the intention of killing her. He bought it from some random guy so he didn't need to get a background check. I think the fact that he had just barely gotten the gun after she left him kind of shows intent. So they should have gone for more than manslaughter. They should have at least gone for 2nd degree murder. In my opinion. Also the others should have gotten charged as accessories too. They carried her out and left her in the driveway, also they wouldn't cooperate with the police and probably cleaned up the crime scene.
@@NikkiC777 I completely agree
Yes. Even if the main charge was manslaughter, they could have tacked on more charges like failing to administer aid or fleeing.. the laws vary state to state but most have something like that. And it also could be 2nd or 3rd degree murder instead of manslaughter for a longer charge, probably.
Just hearing Ciara's personality makes me wish I knew her

This poor girl...she was so bright and so pretty and had such big plans. I cannot imagine the betrayal she and her family must have felt on this occasion. If any of her friends and family are reading this I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you.
Its terrifying how easily someone could be put in such a tragic situation by just associating with the wrong kind of people. How horrible. This truly is such a tragic and horrible situation. I wish her family healing and peace.
How they treated her after she was shot was so messed up, they didn’t treat her like their brothers love since childhood or a sister or a friend just trash, shame to their family!
Its probably because they themselves are all trash pure human waste. They didn't deserve to bask in ciara's light.
Girl your concern for your viewers made me cry. Having experienced abuse myself (I’m out of that situation luckily), it just touched me so much to see you care and try to warn other potential victims against this type of people. Thank you for sharing stories like these, and for helping share the fact that it’s not the victim’s fault❤️
The first 6 months after leaving an abusive relationship are when you are at the highest risk of being murdered. Everyone take care and keep your guard up. Stay safe💜
How is it that none of them got a charge when they all lied and covered for him. They were given multiple chances to tell the truth and the only reason the “friend” did was because they knew/suspected he did it. That pisses me off
Seriously. Like why would you lie if you really didn’t have anything to cover up?
Immunity is why.
I'm from Rochester NY and we have a homicide almost daily. So I think it's sadly part of our culture because you're more likely to die by telling then the police arresting the person first. I mean CC died 6 days after her protection order. It's very sad. 😔😢
@@RubyOnixx Yh I totally get that and it’s sad for her to die by protecting herself (which is why my head in a situation like her would be once I start telling I’m never going back. You cannot trust them. Ps I don’t blame her).
My thing though is they kept secret and if the parents never told them about the boyfriend they would never have said anything and he would have never been court. God forbid he would have done it to someone else. So they should have gone to jail. Especially the “friend” she’s fake for that. I honestly believe they all set her up that night. That’s why they never spoke or changed stories so much. Didn’t want to get caught in knowing before hand what he wanted to do.
These are dumb kids. What would be the point
More girls need to take this as a sign {myself included} to leave a toxic relationship especially if the guy goes as far to hit you
Are you safe?
@@daniexmachina yes I’m not in a relationship at all. I’m single I just look back at everything and think what was wrong with me
It's not just hit emotional abuse is equally as bad
@@vengefulg0ddess of course
Sadly this is easier said than done. We need to look out for each other more, if our friend, sister, brother, etc is in a toxic relationship, get them help because more often than not, they won't take action themselves.
Could you cover the Tristyn Bailey case?? She was murdered by her classmate on mother’s day :(
MOTHERS FRICKEN DAY?
@@nache61 yes her murder is 14 and she is 13, it’s very sad and recent, only happened last month, so i don’t think there’s enough information to cover it
I'm heart broken for the ma. Imagine knowing that your little girl that you raised getting beat by a pathetic worm and ended up dying in their hands :(
This is really sad 💔 No mother deserves to go thru this
@Chocolate Stars tbh. It seems cruel but when I start seeing bruises and how confident the guy was that she wouldn't snitch on him im calling it off from there. Hell I would've made it a step extra and transferred her
*at their hand
@@damnthatscrazy4426 I agree. Transferred her where to though? I would think of transferred him.
2-6 YEARS?!?! She was soo young and it breaks my heart. My brother was murdered in 2018 and was only 16 by 5 people who known him well and were his "friends." The world is so cruel. Praying for her family, she deserved so much better!
I'm sorry for your family's loss. I pray there is justice. May your brother RIP.
🙏🙏my condolences
My sympathies, I can't imagine that pain
i am so sorry for you loss
Your brother deserved better too
we’re really getting treated with this upload schedule 😭😭😭 WE LOVE YOU please don’t burn yourself out !!!
ruclips.net/video/PZGT8u0vGds/видео.html
I agree, it takes a long time to research these videos even if she has an editor to speed up the process its still a lot of work to do, so I hope she doesnt burn out and is just catching up woth videos she already had filmed
I grow up here and proverty is very high and her story is so sad. Can you do my cousin Stepany Givens. She was 13 years old and killed by a classmate in 90's.
I wish you wouldn’t have said that it makes you look guilty if you make the police get a search warrant in order to search your property... it doesn’t!! Even if you’re completely innocent, always make them get a search warrant!!
especially in the US!
I thought the same! Especially as a black person!
Absolutely and also the RPD is notoriously corrupt that comment is very much steeped in racism
i paused the video the moment she said that to search for a commeent like this!! ur right
yes especially if your community, especially the black community, has been mistreated for decades by the police, ofc you’re going to ask for a search warrant!
I’ve watched a ton of these true crime channels and I swear; no one tells it as respectfully, professionally, and as articulate as Eleanor does. She’s just such a sweet, warming, and caring disposition.
She is so good but check out "that chapter"..also good with an accent..
Kendall Rae is my favorite she is a natural storyteller and also dosent show pictures and is very respectful
Totally agree. There may be others, but Eleanor is my first in this minimalist format. And I love how for every video, she seems to be super invested, reflected in her inflection in the narration.
And how the victims, and their backstories, are always the main focus as much as possible.
Except she says floor when she means ground...
@@mylifewithAnika my husband watches that chapter all the time!
"My main demographic is teenage girls and women in their 20's..."
Me, a 30 year old man: whoops
ruclips.net/video/PZGT8u0vGds/видео.html
Me a 38 year old woman 👵 rip angel xxx
43 YO here 😆🤣😂
Hey she said main not only haha ;)
Same XD
Eleanor: "and who's kid is awake at 1am asking for sweets"
Me: remembering last night when my kid couldn't/wouldn't go to sleep and was asking for sweets lol.
I bet you didn’t walk to the store
Yeah I mean the only weird part about this was that the man would give them candy late at night 🤣
@@wordplay1415 I mean I didn't/wouldn't but my partner would have.
You'd think one of the FIRST things the police would do is check the victim's record to see whether they had any protection orders out against anybody...
they wouldn’t have to if they thought the person was in a healthy relationship,, the police didn’t know about the abusive relationship until they talked to the mom
@@vnzalol2364 why would you not check, though? Why would you assume everyone has a healthy relationship when someone got shot? It's just bad detective work. You need to check everything you can.
@@TheReducedsodium I agree it’s bad detective work cuz it seems they didn’t check who owned the house or anything. They didn’t even know that the two sisters lived in the house until they put all of the pieces together. All the evidence and clues they got were given by other people, they didn’t find or do anything themselves.
Is it weird that Eleanor’s voice is so relaxing to listen to even when she talks about awful murder cases? Asking for a friend
i thought that
It is melodically soothing to my ears, I have to be careful becauseI drift away in my headphones late at night.
She talks too slow, gotta watch her on 3x speed ugh
@@AprilMayx0 is it me or do you just criticize everything eleanor does or says??
I listen to here before going to sleep. She's so relaxing even thought is a hard topic to talk about, she makes it relaxing anyways.
"There's nothing police could do..."
"But theres a whole lot that the SWAT team could do"
I don't know why I find this kinda funny
it is incredibly funny
not the situation tho
Yep not the situation but the sentence
Me too!!!
The swat team came in following her death to arrest the perps. She was left in a driveway to die no one helped her therefor police werent notified sadly.
This case is one that hits close to home, I myself was in an extremely abusive relationship, the guy lived in a different state and wouldn’t let me leave his house to catch my plane back home. I am forever grateful for my mother for eventually helping me out of that situation, I probably wouldn’t be here anymore without her. Mothers deserve so much more recognition than they get
RIP Ciara Grimes. My heart hurts for her family. ❤ I can't imagine the pain her Momma must feel. She had her whole life ahead of her.
I know it’s been said before but I really appreciate you covering cases with black victims. 🙏🏾
On another note, it is insane the number of murder cases have to do with domestic abuse. So many people say women are emotional but it’s really crazy men like this, who decide to abuse and eventually kill someone when they don’t get their way! COWARDS 😤
underrated comment
ruclips.net/video/PZGT8u0vGds/видео.html
agreed! people seem to forget that anger and lust are both emotions and men have us beat 🙄
I’m not sure if she’s done Anthony Sowell or the Grim Sleeper but those are very sad cases with black women as the victims. 💔 RIP
yes to this entire comment
"He was due for a court hearing."
Me: Ofc he won't show up he murdered someone
Him: *shows up*
Me: 👁👄👁

Right?
He sounds like a Narccissistic man . Their confidence is out of the world. But they usually dumb
Man thru the blinds 👁👅👁
This one got me. I left an abusive relationship a few months ago. I can't count the number of times my mom sat with me on the phone while I cried comforting me and telling me I deserved better. Your videos have really been helping me through this.. As weird as that sounds I don't feel so alone. Thank you.
Anyone here that sees this, please please please remember abuse isn’t just physical! It’s comes in different forms such as emotional/verbal, sexual, mental/psychological and financial. You’re not alone and there are people out there that will listen to you and help! Never be ashamed to talk about your situation because we’d rather hear your story than hear your eulogy 🖤🖤🖤
please also remember that as a grown woman, you can leave the abusive man and get yourself someone who isnt abusive. ....yes... i know im going to get a bunch of angry female teens calling me a "victim blamer" but the reality is my advise would have saved her life.... your advise would have kept her in the relationship feeling like a victim and it would have ended with the same result. Its really quiet simple....fight your urge of going for "the bad boy"... they are called that for a reason.
@@doberman2yk my advise wins😡😡😍🧚🏻🧚🏻yoU gUys lose👨🦳🦶🏻🦶🏻💋💋…like sis it ain’t that easy. Also way to dismiss yourself, you know yo ass victim blaming so u put a warning 😂 plus think of the many grown women in financial burdens. People really think we can just get up and walk away lol. Also to add on, what is, “feeling like a victim” CeCe was being abused…so she was a victim…victims feel like victims cuz they are…🤨ANYWAYS, hope u get out that mind set, cuz if u become a victim I have a feeling u gonna push all ur feelings down lol, but of course, that’s just me. Have a wonderful day/evening/night 😳👍
That is NOT what I expected him to look like she was far too beautiful for him and he knew that
I know right! I was shocked to see his face.. Ugly inside and out
😭
@@noda2ful exactly!!!!
Abusers usually look like that 🥴
It’s not unusual for ugly men to get pretty women and then abuse them. It’s a game they play to see if they can get someone out of their class so they’re charming and sweet at the beginning. Unlike men, women aren’t generally that concerned about looks but rather how someone treats them. She was so in love with him and afraid of him afterwards she was trapped. He revealed the real demon he was - who the hell pulls out a gun and presses it against someone in jest? And he didn’t know there was a bullet in the chamber and he’s a gang member? He’s handled guns before, he knew what he was doing and he was angry at the thought of losing his grip on her.Come on!!!
An abusive man doesn’t change after less than a week, but I guess when your 18 you don’t realize that yet.
Doesn’t make sense to protect the abusive ex that just shot your “best friend” though
Yeah that's what I don't understand. They probably were messing around her back.
Either he/ his friends threatened her too or they were seeing each other behind her back
You have no idea what it’s like growing up in a place like this. Being labeled as a snitch is one of the worst things that can happen to you.
I love the way you tell these story and remain so unbiased. The dignity and respect you have for the victuals their story is very refreshing. Respect ✊🏿
I admire Ciara's mother. You can tell she really loved her child, and I cant imagine how hard it was for her to not be able to protect her. What a wonderful woman to do everything in her power for her child. ❤️
Eleanor, I am a survivor of DV, I so appreciate you doing this video and urging people to reach out for help. You are a beautiful light in this world. 💕
this is why it is so, so important to be careful who you surround yourself with. People are so heartless these days, Rest in Peace, Ciara. And everyone, please stay safe out there!
Brilliant of you to make such a big deal out of why you’ve chosen this case, and to post all the helpline info. It’s so important that we women look after each other, and for someone with the influence, and audience demographic, that you have, it’s going to make a world of difference, for you to highlight issues like this. 👏🏻♥️
I don’t get what Ciara found in that guy .... I was imagining him being super handsome while you were talking about how obsessed this Ciara was with him but when you showed the photo I was like wtf? He was ugly inside and I’d say outside too
exactly
😂😂😂true
I was saying the same thing. I was like shes so pretty he has to be handsome for her to be all in love with him like this enough to keep staying with him while hes hurting her he has to bring something to the table and then that picture popped up on the screen smh wtf
That’s what I’m saying smh
Well
Sexy or Not
Still wrong
Is it bad that the more I watch these and the more interested I get about true crime, I also have become 10 times more paranoid? It’s like I get get scared to be home alone or anywhere alone but I can’t stop watching these videos because they’re so interesting.
Ikr?! Let your fear change to vigilance! We can't foresee everything, however, keep your social circle small and stay alert.
Me. I’m terrified at night lol
I am just scared to ever date again.
@@stacyramsey2732 me rnn😭
Me I’ve been watching a lot of true crime and now am paranoid of everyone and everywhere I go. I watch my surroundings constantly looking for suspicious people or anybody who could have a gun or knife. Stay safe out there
Reminder never to talk to, allow searches or answer questions for cops without a lawyer or a warrant. The idea that asking for those things implies guilt is an scare tactic from cops.
They can, will and have twisted peoples’ words and anything they find when you don’t have a lawyer and a warrant.
Absolutely 👍🏼
Came here to say this. Eleanor and some commenters have no idea why the kids and community should be terrified of police
Guilty or not New Yorkers or anyone from a city in the U.S. would never trust cops to come in without a warrant if they didn’t call them or know someone who called them.
This is the first case ive heard where ive actually been satisfied with the police work, Especially in the first day of the investigation. They actually did as much as they could in the moment.

When she said, "the world is a whole lot better place with you in it" 🥺🥺
This breaks my heart. As someone who has been in an abusive relationship, I feel how hard it is to break it off, and to move on and not let them control you. She was so young, and she was so full of life. She deserved so much better.
i’m so sorry. i hope you’re doing better now.
I love how eleanor speaks about the victims, she has such a good energy and you would think she personally knows them ❤
I got out of an abusive relationship, it was very hard but I was hurting too much, I urge any one going through it to just get out, and to remind yourself you will be 100% better once u do get out. Once I did I finally was happy again and 3 years later I'm now engaged to a wonderful man!
You give me hope that there is life after abuse
Good for you & you are so beautiful 🥰 I wish you well
i’m so happy for you and proud of you!
The way you tell these cases is so enticing to me like it twists and turns as if you’re writing a book and you bring up things I didn’t expect
