The brother of Simone Biles, the Olympic gold medalist, was charged in a Cleveland triple-homicide, it was reported.
Tevin Biles-Thomas is being charged with murder, voluntary manslaughter, felonious assault, and perjury, reported the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Aug. 29.
He was arrested and is now being held at the Cuyahoga County Jail. He will be arraigned on Sept. 13, the report said.
“The relentless persistence of Cleveland police homicide detectives helped secure an indictment in this case,” Cuyahoga County Prosecutor O’Malley said in a statement obtained by the paper. “It is through their hard work that we can begin to seek justice for these victims.”
Biles-Thomas, who served in the U.S. Army, went to high school in Cleveland.
He is the only person charged in the New Year’s Eve triple-homicide.
The suspect is accused of shooting and killing Devaughn Gibson, 23, DelVaunte Johnson, 19, and Toshon Banks, 21. Johnson was a student, Gibson was a barber, and Banks was a laborer.
They were found with multiple gunshot wounds. A 21-year-old man was also shot in the head and a 23-year-old was shot in the arm. They survived, reported News5Cleveland.
They appeared to have held a party at an Airbnb, and a group of men showed up at the party uninvited, police said. When they were asked to leave, one of the members opened fire.
“We’ve had very few problems. This is somebody that rented it, had a party that got out of control and horrific things happened,” Councilman Anthony Brancatelli said. “As the system works—and what we have asked for from folks doing this limited lodging—I received an email from Airbnb today that they took these folks down as a host and they can longer rent their place as an Airbnb.”
Officials said that the Airbnb was over a pizzeria, the Plain Dealer reported.
“The investigators within the Cleveland Police Homicide Unit remained committed to securing an arrest in this tragic case,” Cleveland Division of Police Chief Calvin Williams said, according to the report. “We appreciate our partnership with the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office and are confident that their efforts will bring justice for the families affected by this terrible incident.”
I have never heard of names such as these.
In the past, popular names were from TV Soaps and the Bible.
Are today's Soaps that much different?
lol
Tragic. And infuriating. Simone Biles is the greatest gymnast ever, I hate to see her have to go through this even though it’s no reflection on her.
Damn.
The age from conception to live birth is pretty damn dangerous too.

Some of those sound like car models.
Tevin may cause death, blindness, loss of bladder control, if you experience any of these, consult your doctor. .
Damn. That’s hilarious.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
