Four Strippers Kill Good Samaritan Who Helped Them Change Flat Tire
New York Daily News ^ | Saturday, August 5, 2017, | Megan Cerullo

Four adult entertainers stripped a man of his life after he helped them change a flat tire, police said.

Brittany Curry, 28, Ponesha Taylor, 23, Johniesha Simmons, 19, and Lauteshia Dotson, 23, from Memphis and Nashville, have all been charged with first degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon in connection with Ralph Cross’s Aug. 1 death at his home in Missouri, Fox 13 reports.

Cross, 55, reportedly bought a new tire for the women, and allowed them to stay in his home while he worked on their vehicle.

The women reportedly stayed at his house until Cross’ body was discovered there Tuesday morning.

The women may have used a 9mm handgun to kill Cross, investigators say.

Acting Mississippi County Sheriff Branden Caid said Curry pulled the trigger on Cross, CBS-affiliate KFVS 12 reported.

He died of a gunshot wound to the back.

Cross was last seen in his house around 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 1 — the day he died.

A witness said he saw Cross arguing with three of the women, while the fourth woman remained in a white car parked outside his house.

The witness said that as he walked toward his home, he heard a noise and saw the three women leave Cross’ home and enter the white car.

The witness said he heard one of the women who was in that car say that Cross was “tripping and do not go back down there,” KFVS 12 reported.

Caid said the women killed Cross after robbing him.

Investigators said couch cushions were ruffled and that pockets of pants belonging to Cross had been turned out. Other evidence pointed to a robbery, too.

The women turned themselves in to the Mississippi County Sheriff’s Office on Aug. 3, after friends and family who had seen their pictures from surveillance footage on the news persuaded them to tell their side of the story.

None of the women has admitted to the murder, or identified what role they played in it.

Curry, Taylor, Simmons and Dotson are all being held in separate facilities without bond.

Go back and look at their pictures. No, I’ve never been rich, so I go to the same kinds of clubs that you go to.

“Maybe they were paint strippers.”

When the walk into a room, the paint comes off the walls.

Strippers? Do they strip worn hardwood floors before refinishing them?

FUGLY!

Black girls almost always have a name that ends with an "a".

I taught school in an "alternative" setting in an inner city high school in Illinois. During my 20-25 years in this Shangri-la I think that I only saw the above rule violated maybe 5 or 6 times.

When the "a" rule was not followed, 3 or 4 of the non-conforming young ladies were named Brittany.

I think that sort of name is frowned upon in their social stratum, but you can still roll in the hood with that name.

Drugs.

The article does not indicate what drug Ralph Cross was on, but that drug needs to be banned.

No good deed will go unpunished. Honestly though, what was this man thinking. I know two people who married strips. Both of the men killed themselves within 15 years.

Moral of the story. $2 bills

Might as well have brought home 4 wild-caught wolves and tried to tame them with love.

Yes. And they whistle while they twerk.

If (ahem) I went to a strip club, the time the ‘urban’ girl came on would be the time I use the mens room.

Twenty to twenty-five years at an inner city high school in Illinois? You have my respect. Hope you survived without any major injuries and are now enjoying your pension (though the state’s ability to pay long term is in doubt).

I taught middle school for three years in rural districts in Mississippi after retiring from the military. All were “minority majority” schools; but the same pathologies apply.

I come from a family of teachers. Two sisters and a brother-in-law spent their careers in the classroom. My oldest sister and her husband retired almost 10 years ago. In Missouri (where they taught) retired teachers have the option of collecting their pension and signing one-year contracts to remain in the classroom. When my sister and brother-in-law were offered that option, they laughed and said “no thanks.”

I graduated from the same system where my family members taught. During my military career, I went back to the my old high school, 20 years after graduation. There were metal detectors at the front door—in a school with no more than 600 students, in a town of 6,000 people. That alone tells us you far our schools have fallen over the last 30 years.
