Number 8 Keenan Harpole
19-year-old music student Amara Marluke was shot near the campus of Portland State University,
in April of 2022. The woman was found at roughly the halfway point between her workplace and
student accommodations, in the early hours of April the 4th. She later succumbed to her
injuries in a local hospital. At some point during her freshman year, Marluke had met Keenan Harpole,
a running back on PSU’s football team, who lived on the same floor at the University Pointe
student apartments. Harpole, who was reported as Marluke’s first boyfriend by her mother,
was described as abusive and manipulative in the relationship. He’d allegedly struck Marluke during
an argument earlier in 2022 but she didn’t report him to the police and ultimately decided to grant
him a second chance. She’d done so against the wishes of her friends and family who’d reportedly
seen “warning signs” and wanted her to end the relationship. 20-year-old Harpole was arrested
on property owned by his family outside of Bend and charged with second degree murder as well
as unlawful use of a weapon. Marluke’s killing was described as a domestic violence incident
but a clear motive wasn’t released in the immediate aftermath. As per the latest
updates on the case, Harpole had pleaded not guilty to the charges levied against him.
Number 7 Marvin Ward and Alexis Morris
During his first year at the School of Oriental and African Studies University,
18-year-old Hussain Chaudhry started a part-time business selling designer coats and jackets,
which he advertised on social media. On March the 17th of 2021, a meeting was arranged in east
London with two teenagers who’d expressed interest in his products. Marvin Ward and Alexis Morris,
both aged 18, walked with Chaudhry back to his home, in Walthamstow, after claiming that they
wanted to try on different sizes. Once they were at the address, the duo brandished bladed weapons,
included a machete, threatening Chaudhry as they began ransacking the home looking for coats to
steal. The student’s mother and older brothers, who were home at the time, reacted to the
commotion. Morris was overpowered in an upstairs bedroom but eventually managed to escape out of a
window. Before doing so, however, he dropped his phone inside the house. It would later be found
to contain video footage of him and Ward playing with the machete leading up to the robbery. Ward
also fled the house, after stealing a Tommy Hilfiger jacket, and got into the back of an Uber
he and his accomplice had previously ordered, but the driver refused to drive off. One of Chaudhry’s
brothers followed him, smashed the vehicle’s window and managed to retrieve the jacket. In the
meantime, the teenage student’s mother also came out of the house. Ward emerged from the vehicle
and began swinging his knife. Chaudhry’s mother sustained a slash to her hand, which resulted in
severed tendons in her fingers, while the brother was also cut in the hand after attempting to grab
the blade. Before fleeing the scene, Ward plunged the knife deep into Chaudhry’s neck.
Paramedics arrived at the address and performed emergency surgery on him in the street. The blade
had entered over 4 inches into the teen’s chest cavity, collapsing his lung. He died in front
of his mother, on the pavement outside his house. Ward and Morris were later arrested and ultimately
jailed for 20 years each after they were convicted of manslaughter, robbery and assault.
Number 6 Corey Anderson 18-year-old Floridian Corey Anderson was
arrested in late May of 2022, after Tampa police received reports that he’d threatened a school
shooting on social media. As reported by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office,
Anderson had made a post that showed him with a rifle, handgun and a tactical-style vest. He’d
captioned it “Hey Siri, directions to the nearest school". He was subsequently arrested and charged
with making a written or electronic threat to conduct a mass shooting. In a statement
released to the media, Sheriff Chad Chronister highlighted the seriousness of the man’s actions,
describing the post as a “sick joke” which had instilled fear into his community. The arrest
came just days after a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, carried out by 18-year-old Salvador Ramos,
which had resulted in the death of 22 people, including the perpetrator.
Number 5 Patrick Sharp On May the 27th of 2022, English teenager
Kajetan Migdal was returning home after attending his high school Year 13 prom. 18-year-old Migdal
was walking to his car through Cuttys Lane, in the town of Stevenage, when he encountered Patrick
Sharp, also aged 18. They got into a physical altercation, reportedly sparked by Sharp’s attempt
to rob Migdal of his car keys. The latter was knifed and later found in Cuttys Lane in critical
condition. He was taken to Lister Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries in the early
hours of the following day. Aside from doing well academically, Migdal was part of the dance troupe
Prospects Fraternity who’d made an impression on the BBC’s The Greatest Dancer in 2019. Sharp
was arrested a short time after the killing and charged with murder, possession of an offensive
weapon and possession of Class A drugs. In early June, he appeared at Luton Crown Court via video
link and wasn’t asked to make a plea while a provisional trial date was set for late November.
Number 4 Eric Rohan Justin For several months in 2020, Maryland
teenager Eric Rohan Justin repeatedly messaged TikTok star Ava Majury, vying for her attention,
on multiple social media platforms. 18-year-old Justin had allegedly bought Majury’s phone number
and pictures of her that weren’t online from the underage teenager’s former classmates.
Majury, based out of Naples, Florida, talked to her parents and, with their permission, decided to
contact Justin directly. She sold him two selfies, of only her face, for which Justin sent her $300
through Venmo. He then asked for more explicit photos, at which point Majury’s father, Rob,
intervened. The man reminded Justin that she was underage and told him to stop contacting her. Even
though he was blocked, Justin continued sending Majury money, totaling roughly $600, pleading with
her to unblock him. When she continued ignoring his requests, he started plotting to murder her.
Justin allegedly got her information from one of her classmates and travelled to Naples. On July
the 10th of 2020, he barged onto the Majury family’s property and pumped a shotgun shell
through the front door of their home. Looking back on the gunshot, Majury would later recount
“I felt it in my chest, and I looked up, and there was a hole in my door from the fragments”. Rob,
a retired police lieutenant, sprung out of bed and noticed the teenager on their front law.
He chased him but tripped and fell, which gave Justin enough time to flee. After Majury’s mother
had called 911, Rob grabbed his handgun and stood watch while waiting for the officers’ arrival.
In the meantime, however, Justin returned. Rob pointed his weapon at the 18-year-old and ordered
him to drop the shotgun, which he reportedly refused to do, instead aiming it at him.
Rob then opened fire, killing Justin, who was later found to be in possession of two cellphones,
both of which contained thousands of pictures of Majury. Rob wasn’t charged in connection to the
shooting as it was deemed his actions had been in line with Florida’s Stand Your Ground law.
Number 3 Joshua Vining Florida police officers were
called to a home in Belleview, about 70 miles northeast of Orlando, in April of 2022. Law
enforcement found that Christopher Leroy Broad Jr, who was in his late teens, had sustained
a critical gunshot wound. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he later passed away, and
investigators learned that the incident had been the result of a dangerous game involving a handgun
and a bulletproof vest. Teenagers Colton Whitler and Joshua Vining were arrested in connection to
the shooting. As reported by 18-year-old Evan Vowell, who took a video of the stunt that was
seized by law enforcement, Vining had brought out the vest and firearm, allegedly proposing
they open fire on each other. Broad shot Vining first and, after the vest caught the bullet,
they switched places. As reported by the police, the video showed Broad give Vining a nod, after
being hit with a bullet. The latter proceeded to shoot him four more times, with some of the
bullets piercing the vest. The clip contradicted Whitler’s initial statements as he’d allegedly
told officers “my house just got shot up, my friend got shot in the chest.” He was charged with
providing false information to law enforcement while Vining was charged with manslaughter.
They were subsequently released on a $1,000 and $30,000 bond, respectively. Within weeks, however,
both were arrested again in connection to a drive by shooting that had targeted a house in
Ocala. They were stopped in a Mercedes, driven by 19-year-old Jarrett Vining Jr., along with
another unnamed teenager as a passenger. All four of them were “extremely nervous and sweaty”
based on the reports of arresting officers. A rifle was found between the driver’s legs while
an additional three pistols were recovered from the vehicle, one of which had been hidden inside
a pizza box. The rounds shot at the house had been of such high-velocity that they cut through
it and stopped in a backyard metal structure. Fortunately, the home had been empty at the time.
Number 2 Maeling Smith Shortly before noon,
on May the 24th of 2021, Officer Nathan Jones, from Indiana’s Evansville Police Department,
was flagged down by a man in the Diamond Avenue area. He told the officer that he’d just been
involved in a domestic dispute and that he wanted to leave the neighborhood before Maeling Smith,
the woman with whom he’d been arguing, returned. While Jones and the unnamed man were speaking,
18-year-old Smith drove up in a Honda Accord and started yelling at the latter. She ignored Jones’
request to remain in her vehicle and continued behaving belligerently. When the police officer
attempted to place her in handcuffs, she got back in the Honda. Smith then put the vehicle
in reverse and began driving away while Jones was still holding onto her. The officer was dragged
for about a block before he managed to stumble free, at which point Smith ran over his arm with
her car. Backup officers made their way to the scene and Jones was taken to a local hospital
but the extent of the damage to his arm remained unclear. Smith was booked into Vanderburgh County
Jail on charges of resisting law enforcement and battery against a public safety official.
Number 1 Steven Jones
On October the 8th of 2015, multiple Northern Arizona University students were shot, one of them
fatally, by freshman Steven Jones. In a parking lot near Mountain View Hall, on the Flagstaff
Mountain campus, Jones and two fellow pledges of the Sigma Chi fraternity were allegedly set upon
by Colin Brough, Nick Piring, Nick Prato and Kyle Zientek. The four, all aged 20 and intoxicated at
the time, were reported as members of the Delta Chi fraternity. The events that followed were
described through conflicting accounts, from over 40 witnesses, which made it difficult to determine
whether or not Jones had acted in self-defense. He and his legal team claimed that, after being
sucker punched, he was chased to his car, where he kept a Glock 22 handgun. Fearing for his life,
he then fired the weapon at Brough and Piring, as they were about to tackle him, and then shot the
others after being taken to the ground. The bullet trajectory indicated that Brough was within 2 feet
of the Glock’s muzzle and leaning forward, as if lunging, when he was shot. The prosecution would
argue that Jones wasn’t in further danger, after the initial sucker punch, and that he’d retrieved
the weapon before returning to the fracas with premeditation. Brough died from his injuries.
Piring was shot in the right arm and hip while a bullet struck Prato through the neck, leaving him
needing surgery for nerve damage. Zientek was shot twice in the back, and lost a kidney as a result
in addition to suffering a punctured lung and a severely damaged liver. The jury was unable
to reach a verdict during Jones’ first trial and a mistrial was declared on May the 2nd of 2017.
One month before the scheduled retrial, on January the 9th of 2020, Jones pleaded guilty to one count
of manslaughter and three counts of aggravated assault. He was sentenced to six years in prison.
