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.
Aint nobody congradulating or praising his actions! I m just saying that ya shouldn't judge a person by one event. It doesn't mean that they are what u see or hear about!!
HA HA HA HA, you got jokes, but they are not funny!!
After graduating SU, he was planning to attend medical school.
I see that u is quick to judge another, but where u at and what u got to show for it?!
Only a rudimentary command of the English language.
sorry buddy. i agree with you to a point, but when that one event is MURDER, you lose my support.
I thought Bush was a cheerleader? Right?
