Four corpses: scandal due to quarantine financial aid turned into a tragedy for a family from Indiana
Due to a coronavirus aid check in Indianapolis, Indiana, a man killed 4 people, injured 1 more and stole a child. Writes about it Pix11.
According to the affected family, Janetrius Moore worked hard to support herself and her two young daughters. And the last payment of $ 1 turned out to be a salvation for them.
But the father of her youngest daughter, Malik Khafakr, believed that half of this money was due to him.
“He wanted some of the money,” said Wendy Johnson, a cousin who heard Janetrius tell him what led Malik to kill.
Johnson explained that on the eve of that fateful day, Hafakr had told Moore that he wanted half the money.
“She told him, ‘No, you don’t deserve anything. I am working. I take care of our child. And you don’t do anything,” Johnson recalls.
The sister said that he insisted and Moore gave in - she offered $450, but that was not enough for him. Johnson said Halfacre threatened to "get that money."
Witnesses said Moore was standing by the side of the road watching her car when Hafakr approached her.
“She said that her husband looked at her angrily and left,” the cousin said. “But he returned soon.”

The police said that when Khafakr returned a second time, he killed four people, wounded the mother of his child, stole his daughter and fled.
The family identified the victims as 7-year-old Eva Moore, 23-year-old Dakuan Moore, Janetrius's mother, 44-year-old Tomiku Brown, and her cousin, 35-year-old Anthony Johnson.
“Malik came back into the house and asked where the money was and started rummaging through Moore’s wallet,” Johnson said, repeating what Janetrius said. — Daquan tried to stand up for his sister. He stood up and snapped: “You won’t get a penny.” Malik pulled out a gun and just started killing everyone.”
“He shot Daquan first. Then he shot Anthony, turned and shot Tomika. Malik then returned and fired again at Daquan and towards little Eva, who began screaming,” Johnson continued.
She, referring to the words of Moore, said that Khafakr took his wife and their little daughter to the car, tied the child to a child seat and returned to the house to pick up a bottle of milk.
“When he entered the house, it was a signal to Janetrius that it was time to save her life. That’s what she did - she ran away and started knocking on all the doors,” Johnson said.
Moore hid on a neighbor's porch until the police arrived, while Khafakr left with their child.
“He accused his sister that she made him kill everyone,” the victim’s relative continued.
Moore directed officers to the house, where the victims were found. Lorenzo Moore entered through the back door and found his brother Dacuan and the rest of the family killed.
“I saw all my family members lying on the floor dead,” Lorenzo confirmed. He could not believe my eyes.

Khafakr was already charged with five shots at a man in early 2017, but was released from custody in 2018.
“We always knew he had a gun,” Lorenzo said. “He didn’t have a job—he just didn’t do anything.”
Lorenzo admitted that his sister was always afraid of Hafakr.
A few hours later, the child who had been taken away was found safe and sound on the northeastern side of the city. Almost 24 hours after the murder and four hours of confrontation with the special forces, Khafakr was arrested.
Sean Brown has lost his sister, two nephews and a niece.
“We were always together,” Brown said. “This is the most tragic story that has ever happened to my family.”
Brown knows what he's talking about. He has already lost one brother to drowning and two of his wife's cousins to a murder a year ago.
"I feel like this gun violence has affected a lot of people and it's time to get rid of it," Brown said.
The family is now struggling to raise funds to bury four loved ones.
Brown said Eve called him "Uncle Sean." Anthony Johnson is survived by his wife Rene and 3-year-old son Anthony III. Dakuan was a fun-loving family and always made everyone smile, and Tomika was a great mother.
