| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hi folks, I am the shameless berg hope you're doing well today.
So for this Black Crimes Matter, I want to go and look at the case of four year old Cash Gurna.
This happened back in May of 2021.
So I've got a couple of articles together and I'm also going to include some footage from the incident.
You know, not actual violent footage, but it's going to be footage from the abduction.
So this headline reads Dallas four year old Cash Gurna killing.
No murder charges filed.
Kidnapping suspect held on $1.5 million bond.
Darien Ronnell Brown, eighteen, held on abduction.
Burglary charges after a sleeping child lifted from his bed., law enforcement officials have yet to charge anyone with murder and the death of four year old Cash Gernon four days after his bloody body was found in the early morning hours by a jogger.
Some of you will remember the jogger meme by a jogger passing through a Dallas, Texas neighborhood.
One suspect, eighteen year old Darien Ronnell Brown, remains jailed on a $1.5 million bond since his arrest late Saturday on kidnapping and burglary charges.
Cash was asleep around 5 a.m.
Saturday when a person was seen in home surveillance camera footage lifting the child out of his bed at a home in the 7500 block of Florina Parkway before carrying him away, according to an arrest warest affidavit, Cash and his twin brother were staying at the home owned by their biological father's ex girlfriend Monica Sharrod.
She had not been able to get in contact with the boy's father since March, when he left his sons in her care.
Court documents said Sharrod was the one to identify Brown in the surveillance footage watched together with investigators, but the connection Brown has to the family remains unclear.
Brown and Sharrod's 18-year-old son Cameron Maury reportedly attended Duncanville High School together in the Dallas Fort Worth area, but it's unclear whether the two were friends.
Maury said he viewed Cash as another younger brother, the sweetest little boy, Maury, who lives with his mother in the same home where Cash was staying told Fox four Dallas about the boy in their care.
He loved everybody, the biggest smile ever.
He loved to play superheroes with us and all that.
Isn't it always like that?
I mean, these kids, you know, they light up a room, but they're the ones that end up having this done to them.
It's ridiculous.
Maury's and Brown's family homes are located within a half mile from where Cash's body was found, the Dallas Morning News reported.
Maury said he had seen Brown in passing just five days earlier.
Just like, hey, you know, how you all doing, you know?
And that was it, Maury told Fox four, describing the exchange with Brown.
There's no reason for this.
What did he, what he did was wrong, and I don't know what made him think that this is all right.
and this is okay.
This is a four year old kid, bro.
Like for what?
Like why?
He was four, you know.
Who does this to a four year old kid?
I got quite a few stories about who does this to four year old kids.
Maury also told KXASTV in an on-camera interview outside the play or outside the home.
For what?
For no reason.
Just because you want to be evil.
Cash is believed to have been killed with an edged weapon, police said.
No motive has been identified and police said additional charges could come against Brown as forensic evidence is still being analyzed.
Shirak reported Cash missing around 11 a.m.
Saturday, but Cash is then a night.
Ashes then, an unidentified body had already been discovered hours earlier, around 7 a.m., just 8 blocks away.
Antoine Square said she okay.
Antoine Square.
Yeah, she really is a jogger, huh?
said she was jogging through the Mountain Creek area neighborhood and first thought she saw a dog in the street in the 7500 Block Saddle Ridge Drive.
As she got closer, the woman realized it was the boy's lifeless body she found lying in a pool of blood.
Police declined to provide any updates about the potential for murder charges to Fox News Tuesday, instead referring to a blog page last updated Monday at 4 p.m.
Brown's court appointed defense attorney Robbie McClung.
Klung told Fox News on Tuesday that it was quote unquote too soon for her to comment at this time.
Maury's two biological underage teenage brothers as well as Cash's twin four year old brother have since been removed from the home by Child Protective Services KXASTV reported.
Cash's twin brother has been reunited with their biological mother, Melinda Seagroves.
Police said Seagroves and her mother and the boy's grandmother, Connie Ward, had been conducting a search for the twins, quote unquote, for an extended amount of time.
Seagroves was unaware that the boy's father had placed them in Sherrod's care.
Brown's mother, Mimi Brown, told the Dallas Morning News outside her home that she believed her son had been framed as he has separ several young cousins he helps take care of and wouldn't harm.
He ain't done anything.
Darien is very kind, she said.
I feel like he's being framed.
She said her son is a patient at MetroCare Services, which provides mental health care to children and adults, according to the outlet.
I know my son is traumatized, Mimi Brown added.
I know he's scared because I'm scared.
Yeah.
So his death was ruled a homicide, though no murder charges have been filed against the alleged kidnapper.
So yeah, this headline reads Dallas four year old Cash Grennan's death caused by multiple stab wounds.
So the four year old boy who was kidnapped from his bed and whose lifeless body was found hours later on a Dallas, Texas street, died as a result of multiple stab wounds, according to the out a local report, the Dallas County Medical Examiner determined Cash Grenin's death was a homicide as a result of the wounds.
Local news station CBS DFW reported a spokesperson from the medical examiner's office could not be reached by Fox News on Friday.
Cash was being taken care of by his father's girlfriend at the time of the kidnapping.
Police said the woman said Cash's father had been absent since March.
Yes, so surveillance images from the home where the boy was staying show the suspect who the woman identified as eighteen year old Darien Brown taking Cash from his grip and carrying him away from the camera's view.
According to the detective's arrest affidavit obtained by the Dallas Morning News.
It does not detail Brown's relationship to Cash's family or offer any explanation for Brown taking Cash.
Brown is being held on charges of kidnapping burglary.
The girlfriend called police shortly before 11 a.m.
Saturday to say Cash was missing.
Meanwhile, police had found the boy dead around 6:50 a.m. about half mile from her home.
Assistant police chief Albert Martinez has said it appeared the child suffered a violent death and that an edged weapon was used.
Okay, here we have.
Caretaker of Texas Boy Snash while sleeping has left the bedroom untouched.
I know I have to confront this.
I haven't been able to do this until now, the woman who cared for the toddler said.
So yeah, so she's just talking about how she hadn't touched the room since this whole.
incident occurred, I'm wondering why we didn't hear him break in.
She said the day that he was missing I got up late and thought it was weird.
It was like it's ten o'clock already, guys, so I figured Cash was still in bed.
Cash's brother replied, He went outside, she said.
She then screamed, Cash, if you're hiding for mommy, it's not funny anymore.
Come out, it's time for breakfast.
He wouldn't answer.
As reports of a body being discovered half a mile away began circulating, Sherrod said she refused to believe it was her toddler.
I was crying and confused and in a million pieces and praying they would still find Cash and that little boy wasn't Cash, she said.
I kept telling my daughter that's not Cash.
The jogger who found Cash, Antroonie's Square, told the Daily Mail she initially thought she stumbled upon a dog before taking a closer look and calling 911.
He was only wearing a pair of bottom shorts, Square said.
I just keep remembering those ants at the bottom of that baby's feet.
Brown was a acquaintance of one of her sons and had visited the home two days earlier and interacted with Cash, which angered her, she said.
She also disputed claims that the boy's biological mother had made efforts to search for them after their father disappeared.
On Monday, Sherrod and her parents visited a improvised shrine for the boy where they laid down a toy dinosaur.
It was his favorite toy.
He loved that toy, she said.
He had a bunch of cars and put them around the dinosaur and said, Look, mom, I made a monster truck.
Aww.
I hadn't actually read this before.
That was a little touching.
Brown is being held on $1.5 million bail and faces kidnapping and theft charges.
are expected pending for forensic test results.
So in another article, and I'm not going to read it here because, you know, there's no point getting into it, but he ended up being declared incompetent to stand trial, of course.
You know, real justice, will it serve?
No.
Will he be remembered?
No.
No, in order for him to be remembered, he would have to be, um, black, be fully grown, have a wrap sheet, hold a pregnant woman up under gun threat, uh, use counterfeit cash, swallow his stashes at police encounters, and, uh, overdose himself under a cop's knee.
Then, then he would be worth remembering.
But as it is, he was just a boy being snatched out of his crib, and just taken off, and just killed without any reason at all.
And that's just not worth remembering, right?
I hate to invoke the imagine if the shoe was on the other foot or if the roles were reversed.
You'd never hear the end of it.
You will hear George Floyd over and over again.
Ahmaud Arbery, Trayvon Martin, George Floyd.
Say their names.
Ahab, la la la la.
And it will just never end.
But little boys like Cash Guernan who just get, you know, snatched out of their bed while they're sleeping, taken out and just stabbed to death.
Yeah.
Not even worth talking about, I guess.
You know?
Let's just make sure that we keep paying attention to all the black grievances.
Let's make sure that we hyper focus on, you know, a handful of particular cases where, generally speaking, the person they're grieving, it's their fault.
You know, if they hadn't resisted arrest, if they hadn't acted like a fool, if they hadn't done a bunch of dumb shit, they'd probably still be alive.
But instead they do all that dumb shit, they get killed, then they become a martyr.
They'll be remembered, and people like Cash won't.
So we need to remember him, because that's fucked up.
I see no reason to care about black grievances.
I mean, you look at this stuff, even one of these incidents, and the fact that it gets swept aside, it gets memory hold while we're constantly reminded of George Floyd, George Floyd.
It's just, I don't care.
I don't care about black grievances, and neither should you.
Neither should you.
We have our own problems and we have LOTH problems.
And they're the cause of a lot of those problems.
So don't let them growl beat you and shame you and act like everything is your fault.
And oh, look, whoa is me.
Look at George Floyd.
Whoa is me.
Ahmaud Arbery.
Trayvon Martin.
Whoa is me.
Say their names.
BLN.
Blah, blah, blah.
Yeah.
I don't give a damn about that shit.
And it's because of stuff like this.
Because of stuff like this.
So just remember that.
Next time they cry their crocodile tears and you feel tempted to give a damn, just don't.
Don't.
Because they don't give a damn.
Society collectively doesn't give a damn about what happens to our people, what happens to our children.
So if the world's going to forget him, we're not, okay?
Let's remember him.
Take a moment.
Remember him.
Remember all the other children that are being taken from us by them.
And they're being hushed hushed.
And not talked about.
And not constantly thrown in your face.
Statues are not erected in their honor.
There are not murals.
There are not rallies and marches.
There are not burning cities.
There's not moral outrage.
You don't have powers and dignitaries all over the world on TV.
TV, vomiting out their sympathies.
Nobody cares.
Just nobody cares.
So we have to care.
Nobody cares about cash just like non whites don't care about whites in general.
Nobody cares.
Nobody's going to be there for us.
Nobody's going to be there for people like cash if it's not for us.
Nobody's going to be there for us if we don't stand up for ourselves.
And we're going to have to.
We're going to have to.
Because this is happening to our children.
And you don't hear our peep.
We all forget.
Like it just doesn't matter.
Well, folks, I appreciate your support.
