A Syracuse University cheerleader was arrested Thursday and charged with murdering the mother of his child.
Chiarra Seals’ body was in the backyard of a home on Avondale Place, in near the university section of the city, early Thursday morning.
Seals (pictured left) was reported missing Wednesday evening, after her two young children were found home alone in their apartment.
In a statement to police, Brian Shaw (pictured right) said he got into an argument with Seals on Wednesday. Shaw admitted to police he hit and strangled Seals, 23, in her apartment at 160 Jasper Street and carried her body in a suitcase and left it in the backyard of a home on Avondale, near his house on Columbus Avenue.
Seals was Shaw’s former girlfriend and the mother of his four-year-old daughter, Essence. Police say Essence and Seals’ 17-month-old son were home at the time and Essence told police she saw her mother being dragged out of the apartment.
Shaw is a member of the cheerleading squad at Syracuse University and a fraternity brother at Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Seals was the great grand-niece of Syracuse Common Councilor Thomas Seals. Shaw has been charged with second-degree murder. Seals’ children were not physically injured and are staying with relatives.
Used to live there years ago...spent a long time on the north side (Salina) and east side (off James). The PC fems cut the b*lls right off the sports programs. The Orange? Gads...no wonder the football and basketball teams went into the tank.
I don't know much about the Greek system, but I don't think she's a member. There's some sort of role that she plays, but I can't read the lettering.
Ah, I managed to read it. She's labeled "sweetheart".
I must have missed the words "Michael" "Terri" "Schiavo" and "Greer" in that sentence. Could you please highlight them in the original post or just kindly admit that you made the connection yourself.
The Executive and Legislative branches are trying to bring the Judicial Branch under control. Unfortunately they are failing. I'm not one for "slippery slope" arguments but it seems like this may be a huge step in the wrong direction for the U.S. Government.
Unelected robe-clad government employees who have power over who eats, drinks, and breathes is what Sharia law is all about. I believe that a certain founding document refers to "LIFE, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." I have yet to see any Constitutional document enumerating a "Right-to-Die."
I'm very willing to see the other side in this case, BTW, just as long as her execution/death/euphemism-of-choice is not "cruel and inhuman" and has been shown to be in the best interests of society.
yo, u cant read!!!!!! He has one child, not two. Anyways, what does him having a child have to do with him being in a fraternity?? So, he has a child. How is that relavant or any subject matter to a fraternity??!!! Despite him having a child, he attended college. Not just any old college, a university, one of the top college and univerisities in the nation. Where do you go to school? Do have kids? Does that matter in your academic affairs and student activities?
A sad and tragic story. Tell the 1%'ers in Cell Block B at Attica that this "turned out punk" iced a sistah in her prime.
She was just mad cuz his cheers were better! Cheers like; Get a touchdown now you scumbag, and Die, you gravy sucking pigs!......With apologies to Steve Martin.
If he'd had a real major or even a wussy one like engineering, he wouldn't have time for a child or a fraternity, if both he needs to make a choice.
It is only recently that FR is not.... Recovering from that descent into Madness will take years.
If your "understanding" of that case is no better than your understanding of that post it is easy to see how such cluelessness arises.
"If he'd had a real major or even a wussy one like engineering, he wouldn't have time for a child or a fraternity, if both he needs to make a choice."
What are you talking about??!!!! You are real dumb! A MAJOR, he had TWO-Education and Psychology.
And as for a choice, his daughter was born before he joined the fraternity. And I can see, that you don't have kids or have nieces or nephews, because a parent can never choose between thier child and an activity. Although he had a child st a young age, he decided to pick himslef up and continue on with what he had planned for himself, while still being involved with her.
As far as time...he was involved in the fraternity, school, child and held several jobs!!
token.
Usually frats have a "sweetheart" who they choose from a sorority. It means she drinks for free and brings other girls over for the guys to hit on.
Yes, he was a busy young man. I don't know how he found the time to murder. And now his daughter is basically an orphan. He should be admired, huh? Welcome to freerepublic. Now go away.
I said a real major.
And as for a choice, his daughter was born before he joined the fraternity.
Yep. And to choose to join the fraternity was irresponsible.
a parent can never choose between thier child and an activity.
May I quote from a famous film:
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
he decided to pick himslef up and continue on with what he had planned for himself,
Which allegedly included homicide.
I doubt it, actually.
Ping! Ping! Ping!
The epidemic of pregnant women murdered by the fathers of their unborn children is all about money. Eighteen years of child support adds up to a tidy sum, and Seals is no different from Scott Peterson or the rest of the crowd. The sexual revolution rammed down our throats by feminists has this unintended consequence: We rut like rabbits, have access to abortion on demand, and then, unfortunately, some women decide to have their children and become er...liabilities. Who knew.
Well, the victim wasn't pregnant at the time of her death, but the child support argument still stands, even worse...since Seals had two mouths to feed for 18 years. At some point 'society' will decide it needs to take over child support in order to prevent more murders. This is probably already on NOW's 'to do' list.
Both my sons were cheerleaders. Neither is gay.
The oldest is 6'2" and is a cop, now. He was the big guy, that got to hold those girls crotches. The other son is now a band teacher, with a beautiful wife, and two daughters. He was the smaller guy, that jumped and did all the back flips, etc.
They got more dates than the team...
