    Tophia is very lucky she’s alive. It seems like the suspect didn’t care about killing. To shoot someone in the head and then an old lady

    1. Ayemustbethemonay Share • 196

      Shes also lucky that mamachu is still alive. Honestly thank God cuz if not she would’ve have nobody…my god…

        😂😂😂😂😂hope she cry’s

    2. paxam74 Share • 97

      brotherchu was shot in the head? i’m too upset to watch the video

      1. No_Effective_8522 Share • 134

        yes the police confirmed he was shot first and in the head :(

        1. paxam74 Share • 76

          I would be traumatized for life. Does Tophia have anybody she can contact?

          1. No_Effective_8522 Share • 79

            the state has services that she'll have access to at the hospital but i don't think she has any close family or friends. it's so sad

            1. iluvmykittykats Share • 22

              I really hope she knows that she can go to a local shelter. I’m not from Louisiana but I’m sure they have beds available. No matter what she’s done, nobody deserves to go thru this. Let alone witness it:(

              1. peachtits4me Share • 16

                She's not in Louisiana either she is in new Mexico.

              2. Sammy_Saw_Shank Share • 9

                She’s gonna have to because the car is totaled and probably taken for evidence. I know she’s talked down on them before, but hopefully she’ll let them help her this time.

          2. Sammy_Saw_Shank Share • 9

            Apparently, she has family in the area, but they’re not close at all.

    3. bunnyqueens Share • 45

      i was thinking about this too. like the fact this person shot an elderly woman shows they truly don’t give a fuck abt taking someone’s life. i’m glad tophia got away

      1. castfire Share • 36

        And coming up on three SLEEPING people in a car to violently carjack them… like… can you not just steal like literally any other car?! at 3:30 am any other car on the street or in a lot is going to be empty… like just why

        granted, it sounds like there probably wasn’t any other car in the lot (I mean, church parking lot at 3am), and it’s suspected that the carjacker was already fleeing from something else at that time, maybe it was just the first/closest place they saw while they were fleeing. and they wouldn’t know ppl were inside until they’d approach the car. AND clearly they were already not in their right fucking mind. It’s just literally so fucked up and tragic that of all the places they could have gone to and all the empty cars they could have stolen it had to be the one with actual people inside to kill… like fuck at that point just break into an empty car parked on a street nearby, walking for like probably less than a minute is frankly so much less effort and trouble to go through than whatever the fuck this is. again obviously it’s not like they were or could even be thinking clearly but just Jesus Christ

  2. drunkbabygoat Share • 246

    seeing their car in those conditions is so surreal. i just keep thinking about that drone video of brotherchu in that same car. who would’ve thought he would live his last moments of life in there. absolutely insane.

  3. Natural-Seaweed-5070 Share • 181

    So brotherchu is gone. Only one that was making money.

    1. agentsblue Share • 86

      I felt so bad hearing that news. He had his flaws, but he tried. Of all the people in that car, it shouldn't have been him.

      1. SoStarstruckk Share • 58

        He didn’t deserve to die and he was more hardworking than the rest of his family. But he was a pedophile let’s not make him seem like a good person.

        1. agentsblue Share • 19

          There's a difference between a calculated predator and somebody who doesn't have the mental facilities to fend for themselves in this world. Was he wrong, though? Yes. But he wasn't malicious. I hope he's in a better place, his life on this Earth was hell.

    Damn so they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is insane. It seems to be a big deal too, with 3 closed off crime scenes.

    1. TEXlS Share • 57

      Well yes, it went down in three locations. The original car-jacking location, where it crashed, and where the shootout occurred.

    2. cbanson Share • 13

      i figured it was random and not targeted. it’s quite unfortunate it happened to them.

  5. ihate8 Share • 170

    the fact that they were in a church parking lot :(

    1. bunnyqueens Share • 38

      this makes me feel so sick for them and all the other homeless people in that city. church parking lots are supposed to be safe for people to park at night :(

    2. Hells-Creampuff Share • 11

      Oh god:(

    Omg I’m horrified this happened and I don’t want to victim blame, but when Tophia had that homeless man jump into her brothers car that one day she said how dangerous it was out there and basically foreshadowed this. Nobody deserves this, but I really wish Tophia had the brains enough to go to a shelter. I literally have zero idea how mamachu and Tophia are going to survive without Tophia getting a job now. Like a week ago people were saying Donald sr died on station head, now I don’t think that was true but it’s very eerie now that Donald jr died. I will pray for mamachu to make a healthy recovery and that this incident will teach Tophia to cherish her mother and the people she has in her life. So sad…

    1. SoMuchGah Share • 37

      Donald SR is alive and was arrested today I believe.

      1. BigBirdBeyotch Share • 39

        Thanks super eerie that her station head commenters kept posting “Donald is dead” which is a horrible thing to post but such a scary, dark foreshadowing.

        1. GrapefruitExpress136 Share • 11

          I even had to search up if he actually was because it was almost everywhere

      2. Any-Alfalfa6168 Share • 5

        What was he arrested for?

        1. castfire Share • 8

          Breaking and entering somewhere else like a couple hours away by foot. There’s some posts on here I think. By all accounts seems completely unrelated. Just fucking crazy

        2. perfect_fifths Share • 4

          Breaking and entering

    2. peachtits4me Share • 8

      I mean tophupa literally kept challenging people to "pull up, I'm not scared of you pull up fuck around And find out", well there are truly crazy people out there who actually will pull up and FAAFO. not to mention that their car has LITERALLY painted a target on their back.

      1. Alberta_FishBeDaName Share • 6

        What happened had nothing to do with her telling internet trolls or commenters to “pull up”. What happened was not their fault AT ALL. I’m not saying you ARE saying it is their fault but FAAFO had nothing to do with them sleeping in their car and having some psycho car jack them. They did nothing to warrant what happened to them.

      Donald Sr is alive. He was arrested today on breaking and entering charges.

  7. alonemisfit Share • 124

    wow so the suspect also shot marie during the first shooting omg 💔

    1. valleyghoul Share • 3

      He’s a coward for shooting a sleeping person and then shooting an elderly woman.
      Senseless violence and lives lost over a car.

  8. talkedandchewed Share • 87

    It sounds like the security guard prevented someone else from getting hurt or killed. I hope that security guard and other individual are ok. What a terrible terrible series of events.

  9. the_fa1c0n Share • 81

    So the robber shot the brother who was in the drivers seat and kept the body? Wtf bro this is insane.

    1. _DancesWithKnives Share • 65

      I don't think he even moved Donald
      I think he drove while sitting on him 😞

      1. Hells-Creampuff Share • 40

        Oh jesus fuck that is so disturbing

      2. castfire Share • 26

        right they keep saying the victim was in the drivers seat but then who was driving the car 🤮 like what the FUCK

      Must be that blue meth Albuquerque is so famous for.

  10. TEXlS Share • 69

    The reporter asking if this was related to “homeless tiktoker” said whose name? It did NOT sound like Tophia at all.

    1. _DancesWithKnives Share • 42

      A lot of amateur reporters do not get the facts right, and also at times have no idea what the fuck they are talking about.

      1. TEXlS Share • 13

        Sounds about right.

    2. Unlikely_Extreme_567 Share • 39

      It kinda sounded like she said "Tophangus" or something??? Im wondering if she read one of the nicknames used to mock her, and assumed it was her real name instead of looking farther into it. Talk about adding insult to injury jfc.

    3. DigitalKrayon Share • 37

      She asked, related to the homeless tik toker named “Tophangus” who ever called that in is wrong af!

      1. TEXlS Share • 36

        If that’s actually what she said, that’s insane 😭 whoever briefed that reporter did worse than the bare minimum

    4. CheeksMahoney1981 Share • 32

      I couldn’t make it out either. It didn’t sound like Tophia’s name at all.

    5. ___Beaugardes___ Share • 4

      It sounded like something Davis

  11. _DancesWithKnives Share • 37

    I've yet to hear the police say that the shooter was someone that police were already in pursuit of before the attacking of the family.

    1. castfire Share • 9

      It does seem like the suspect drove into the parking lot in a different car, before carjacking the Slydells (still yet to be confirmed if this is what happened or if it was the suspects car) though; it makes the most sense that they were fleeing from SOMETHING and that there was a reason they needed to ditch their car. You’re right though that there’s no word so far that the suspect already had been in active police pursuit; you’d think with the car and the body/identity of the suspect they’d be able to figure that out pretty quickly (in the grand scheme of things— probably not quickly enough that it’s something they could confirm to the public at this point. The identity of the suspect hasn’t been confirmed publicly either and I’m pretty sure that’s something that would/will end up being made public.)

  12. _DancesWithKnives Share • 17

    The journalists doing the interviewing, really annoyed me.

  13. Alberta_FishBeDaName Share • 2

    This is horrible and even though Tophia is snarkable, some of you alls re just asses for the comments you are making. This is going to change her life forever. She will never forget the side of her brother. She will never forget leaving her mom in that car. She’s going to feel guilt forever. And even though she is not a good person no one deserves what happened to her. The only person who supported that family was snuffed out right in front of her eyes. I don’t wish this type of stuff on my enemy.

    ABQ raw. Btw

  15. Connorray1234 Share • 1

    This is just another day in Albuquerque. I very much doubt they're beds available from what I've seen my self they're people sleeping outside in the freezing cold on sidewalks and bus stops. But several buildings play loud classical music to keep homeless away .I think from what I've seen a couple comments mentioning beds but they don't know how bad it actually is.but also Albuquerque a city of 564,559 people has a higher crime rate than Phoenix Arizona. Well I think they can find a shelter thy be it it may be in Rio rancho but not in Albuquerque metro. But these streets are very unforgiving than the streets of Compton.
