• (12:02) - Mashenka Reid/ Gavin Smit

Mashenka Reid’s mother left their family in late 2023.  After that, Mashenka, at age 17, was asked by her father to stay home from school most days in order to care for her younger, disabled siblings.  In February 2024, Mashenka asked her father to goto the store to get pizza ingredients.  While he was gone, Mashenka got online and figured out how to use her father’s gun.  When he returned home from the store, Mashenka allegedly shot both him and her little brother dead. 

In the height of the Covid Lockdown in 2020, Gavin Smith’s family forbade him to see his girlfriend, Rebecca.  Gavin was 16 at the time.  Investigators would later find over 15,000 Facebook messages between the two.  In December 2020, Gavin called Rebecca on FaceTime – he was holding a gun and a knife.  Rebecca encouraged Gavin to kill his family so that the two could be together.  Gavin murdered his mother, step-father and two younger brothers while on the call.  After the murders, Gavin texted Rebecca and said “Ok baby, I’m a murderer.
