Today, we’re shedding light on a deeply tragic and shocking shooting that took place on the night of January 9, 2026, in Cedarbluff, Mississippi, where six lives were lost at the hands of a 24-year-old man named Daricka M. Moore.
Now, Cedarbluff is a small, close-knit rural community, making these events even more heartbreaking. It was an evening when what should have been a peaceful night turned into a sequence of violence and horror. Moore's rampage began within his own family, targeting those he knew best. Tragically, he shot and killed his father, 67-year-old Glenn Moore, his brother, 33-year-old Quinton Moore, and his uncle, 55-year-old Willie Ed Guines, all in their mobile home.

On January 7, 2026, a shocking event unfolded in Minneapolis, a city that has seen its fair share of tragedies involving law enforcement. In the heart of the Central neighborhood, 37-year-old Renée Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE agent during a federal immigration enforcement operation. This was not only another heartbreaking loss—it sparked a wave of protests and intense scrutiny over the practices of immigration enforcement in America.

Eyewitnesses reported a disturbing series of events—conflicting orders from agents, chaos, and then a desperate attempt by Good to drive away from the situation that escalated to a deadly conclusion. Tragically, three shots were fired into her vehicle, taking her life in an instant.

Picture this: a peaceful evening at Horizon Park in Glendale, Arizona. It’s January 8, 2025, around 7 p.m. The scene is disrupted by police responding to a domestic violence call, as officers rush to catch a suspect described only as a young Hispanic man. But what unfolds next is a chilling reminder of how quickly things can go terribly wrong.
As officers search the area, they spot a white pickup truck parked nearby, blending in with the surroundings. The tinted windows obscure their view, making it impossible to see who—or what—might be inside. But in a shocking turn of events, they identify 46-year-old Dillon Siebeck, who was nothing more than an innocent bystander sitting on a park bench.

he use of deadly force by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, has come under intense scrutiny, especially when it involves fleeing vehicles. There are strict guidelines about when it’s acceptable to use such extreme measures, and many believe these policies are not just rules — they’re a matter of life and death.
Current policies from ICE, as well as broader federal regulations, align with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice. They make it crystal clear: deadly force is only justified when an officer genuinely believes there’s an imminent threat of severe injury or death to themselves or others. But there’s a significant catch. ICE agents are strictly prohibited from firing their weapons simply to stop a moving vehicle
