And Gloria, she has already retired, she did her 3130 years
on basis admin. If you don't know what admin is
as administration, it's hard to explain shit 'cause some ***

(07:37):
That's a combination of 50 yearsin the military.
They got checks coming in, gang,right?
So in 2014, your boy Tapley, he has been running around with the
wrong crowd and he has been cut off from the family.
(07:58):
No, no, no, no, no. Now Gloria ain't cut her brother
off, but she has definitely cut this little boy off because
hell, he he doing too much shit and I want my kid around that
and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
I'm I'm for that. Keep your bad ass kids from over

But he's a good kid and good kids deserve nice shit.
That's just how I am, bro. If you doing right bro, you can
know what the fuck you wanna. That's just me.
You know what the fuck you want.You can have whatever the fuck
(10:09):

They fucking fail mention out that out of that whole fucking
spelling bee it was like I'm gonna say 5 black kids and 2nd
(10:58):
3rd approach were both black. So I feel like they should have
been more acknowledged on at theend of the year.
Not to mention my son's in all advanced classes.
So no, we should not be congratulating bullshit.
We need to let these people knowthat these people are doing good
and these people need to step the truck up.

They tap onto the ground, they wrap his ass up like a mummy in

And they go in, right? And once they go in, they go
right over there. They grab his mother, they grab
his mother and Caleb's niece, Right.
Oh, yeah. You would think it was when they
(20:54):
doing something this bold, that it would just be a handful of
people at the house. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Let me rewind it a little bit. Earlier that day, Robert Short
had just went to work because heworks overnight.
Caleb, I'm not Caleb. Tapley knows that Caleb.
(21:18):
I mean, Tapley knows that Robertis gone.
Cool. But what he didn't anticipate is
that Gianna, which is which is Roberts granddaughter and
Caleb's niece and Gloria's grandbaby, was there because her
(21:42):
mother had just dropped her off,did her hair because she was
going out to hang with the crew.So he didn't expect this at all.
He thought he was just going to wrap him up, go in kidnap, do
some tie up to mother and no, but no, not is not only one
person here is 2. So they duct tape the Mama now
(22:05):
and they have duct tape Gianna right, right.
They have duct taped them both right.
And this is kinda when the storegets cloudy, right?
Because they start ransacking the house, right?
(22:33):
They have, they have stolen all of Caleb Jordan's, his PS4, his
clothes. They have stolen $600 out of his
mother's room, and all of a sudden Gibson is outside.
(22:56):
You know, he's kind of like outside and as a lookout because
he chose not to go in the house.So he's he, he's like, he's
still kind of lost. So he goes around because he
hears the garage lit up and he hears motherfucking tap and say,
hey, Gibson, Gibson. So he called around, like, what
(23:17):
up? What's up?
And he sees these muscles walking out with shoe boxes and
they put them in the Beetle, Volkswagen, go back in Beetle,
put them in there, right? And they're just loading up all
their shit, right? And a Tapley says, Hey, y'all
(23:37):
took a head out. I, I, I got to get up some more
shit, right? He's like, oh, OK, So they get
in the car, they drive off, but back at the house, Cathy goes in
there, grabs a 20 LB weight, beats Gianna across the head and
(23:58):
stabs her, goes to Gloria, beatsher upside the head, stabs her,
goes to motherfucking Caleb, drags him to his parents closet,
beats him with a 20 LB weight and stabs him two.
He was a total of 23 stab woundsin 2 minutes to count blood
(24:24):
force trauma to the head, knocking out teeth from all of
them. Not to mention Gianna is only
10. Yeah, yeah.
And then he jumps in the car. Oh, no, no, no, not the
(24:49):
Volkswagen. He jumps in the other car.
They're stealing two cars now. GMC Envoy, right?
And he tells them, hey, meet me at the park, I'll be there.
Right. So when he gets there, I mean,
it was good. It was good.
Hey, man, take all that shit out.
(25:11):
That was fucking trunk. And you put that bullshit over
here, right? And it's like, hey, why is it
hey? And give you back their
motherfucking keys. You *** walk to my grandma
house. I'll meet you all there.
And they're like, *** what the fuck?
We came wrong with you. You need to meet us there.
You're like, I gotta drop this shit off right now.
He hits up your boy. Dumb mirror, dumb mirror.
(25:34):
Then woke up. He had to get up by the pussy
real quick. What's the game?
He's like, hey, I'm going to drop some shit off at your
house. Grab it in the morning when you
get up. He's like, cool, bet I hit you
back. I'm busy.
Click OK, Homeboy drops it off, right?
And then he goes drop the truck off and he go drop.
(25:54):
And then he gets rid of the truck.
He drops it back off too, right?And then he walks to his
grandmother's house. So now all of them is at tap his
grandmother's house, which the woman he just killed, Gloria,
her brother is Robert Everett, who is dating.
This is Tapley's grandmother, right?
(26:16):
So he just went there and killedthis man's family.

Kush they got them some what what else y'all call that shit
some herbal essence. They got them a little bit of
whatever you call it and they are putting it in the air
talking about how they just can how they just pulled off a
successful heist. Now Gibson on other hand, he
(27:00):
doesn't know what the fuck happened inside that house.
He said hey man fuck happened inthere tablets say hey man if you

You know how I get down you knowhow I rock but you telling me

(27:46):
smoking. Burks goes his way on feet,
Gibson goes his way on feet. This shit is bothering Gibson.
He goes home, can't eat, can't sleep.
He's going through it. What's this going to say?

I'm gonna carry on like I carry on.
Your boy versus went back to thecrib with his girl and his baby.

He is crying. He is hysterical.
(29:42):
He don't know what the fuck is going on.
When the police get there, they start taking evidence.
They realize that there's one room that that Caleb's back
window was open. They saying we think that's how
they got in, you know, and they go from there and they take
Robert down to what? When I say they take Robert

(30:05):
Gloria's husband and you got Robert Everett.
That's Gloria's brother. So I'm going to call him Short.
I'm going to call him Robert Short and some call Brother

sister. He was like, Mama, that shit
that happened over there in Columbus.
I was there. I don't know what happened.
(33:22):
I didn't go inside, but I was there.
I I don't know. I don't know.
I was and she called the police,right?
And so he goes downtown, right? And talk to him, right?
(33:51):
And they get his store and he tell them, yeah, man, we went
over here, we took some shit. I never went inside but they
never told me what the plan was.And he said when I kept asking
them if I kept asking like what happened, what happened, what
happened, what happened, what happened, they wouldn't tell me.
And he said that I felt like them not telling me men that
(34:20):
they were going to try to kill me since I didn't go in and help
since because if I would have been in there, I'd have been
implicated just as much as them.And the detective was like, hey,
hold up cuz you implicated now. Fuck.
You went in and I, you were there.
So he had to let him know that you were implicated.
(34:43):
Sir, there ain't no, I didn't goin.
So I imported this shit. Yeah, you in this bro.
And he gives him the whole rundown and they arrest him.
But they kind of keep it quiet, right?
Because eventually they had already called Robert Shorty in
(35:03):
for a second interview to run down his day again.
And they also called in tapling in and they asked him what was
going on. But this time they had a warrant
and they took then they took hishair and they took his DNA,
right? They let him go again, right.
But after Gibson with the talking, they went and arrest
(35:28):
homeboy at his house. Yep, Yep.
He was ready for school and everything.
And they had arrested him, told him show told him what the fuck
they had told him what the fuck they had going on and they took
(35:49):
their ass into custody. And when they were sitting into
into the interrogation room, he didn't say a word.
Not a thing. But a lawyer.
Yeah. Yes, a homeboy.
So now you got Gibson arrested and you got Tapley arrested.
It took well, not I'm taking back after he was arrested.
(36:15):
The Short family, they're all inshock.
They are like, wait, what? They are like, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait. What?
Yes. They were like, Shamika was
like, what? She like this motherfucker been
(36:38):
at my house. This motherfucker used to be at
the pool. This motherfucker spent holidays
with us. This motherfucker went to
Disneyland with us. Yes.
Ain't no random shit. This is fucking family.
Family, ain't she, gang? She said.
This is fucking family. This shit ain't right, she said.
(37:01):
Who said there ain't no such thing as monsters?
This nigger's a monster right right now.
It took almost a month to catch up to Rufus Burks.
So, you know, of course Rufus Burks is watching the news,
right? And you gotta mention, I mean,
(37:23):
that I mentioned he's already kind of a career criminal at the
age of 15. He's had multiple runners with
the law. So, you know, he he he know how
to duck a dodge around his mother, right?
I was like, go pick a *** up at school.
But a *** this kid admitted murders and shit, you know?
Yeah. School.
(37:44):
What fuck is that? So anyway, the family is
outraged. All three of them have been hit
with right now, triple murder, Grand Theft Auto, robbery,
malice murder, everything under the fucking sun, right?
(38:08):
And that when they finally pick up Rufus, they find the fucking
helmet that goes with this fucking moped because he got rid
of the fucking moped. Fucking dumb ass.
And look, they never even went back to get the bike.
What? *** your fucking fingerprints
and everything along that shit. Not to mention they were seen.
Oh yeah, it was a white guy. He's at the ATM.
(38:33):
He pulled out him a little bit of bread at 2:00 AM.
Bro, What? What are you gonna buy?
Well, you need cash at 2:00 AM. So anyway, he's pulled his cash
out and it should scare him out.This should scare the shit out
of him for doing things at 2:00 AM in the morning that he needs
cash for. Because he said it was a black
(38:55):
guy walking into my car and I panicked and I feel he took off,
right? But after the murders, he called
the police, said, hey, I was in the area and I saw some guys
that night, right? He goes down and say, yeah, man,
I saw some guys. The guy was coming straight to
my car. He scared shit out me and I
drove the fuck off. And I called 911.
Yes, he was white, so I'd be handy, Mandy.
(39:16):
Anyway, he comes in and gives his interview and he says, yeah,
man, I saw some guys out there, they were black and I think it
might have been light skinned, right?
So they give him my lineup and you know who he points out?
No, no, no, no, no, no, it was not Catholic gang.
It was goddamn Rufus Burks. Yeah, the 14 year old What?
(39:41):
What the fuck? No, where are these people
parents now? I try not to blame parents about
a lot of shit these kids do these days because do we really
know what the fuck is going on? We gotta work, we gotta do this,
we gotta do that. But you can say that shit for
whoever because I'll be on my kids ass from the far.
(40:05):
I was in VR1 time and I called my twins to tell them this, that
and the fucking other. Don't play with me, don't play
with me. I can parent you from across the
fucking country *** I can, I canparent from across the world, I
can parent an outer space gang. So don't tell me me not being
(40:25):
able to leave fucking Georgia. I don't know what the fuck my
child is at. Whatever.
That's just me though. You do what you want to do you
bad ass kids. But anyway.
And a 14 year old has been pointed out being outside 2:00
AM. What?
But anyway, anyway, these *** this shit has happened, right?
(40:47):
But let me peep this, peep this when they get Dirks into the
interview, get interrogation. He said the same thing.
Tap this lawyer, lawyer, lawyer.Now.
Tapley was distraught when he got picked up.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Not because he's going to jail,
(41:09):
but because he is in mourning. No, no, no, no, no.
He's not mourning for Gianna. He's not mourning for Gloria.
He's not mourning for Caleb. Oh, let's rewind it.
Two days after the murder, Gloria's brother, Robert
Everett, dies of a heart attack.And I think it was all, I think
(41:41):
it was, I know it was all because of his sister, the
deaths of his family. It triggered it.
Yeah. Now, if you ask Gibson, who gave
him the story that A, he said, yeah, last month I talked to
Tapley. He was really upset because his
(42:02):
grandpa had just died and he asked Tapley how did his grandpa
die? Tapley said he was smoking that
shit. I don't believe that.
It was all heartbreak. Damn bro, I know it was.
But anyway, we Fast forward backto where we was at Robert say
(42:23):
fuck this. They take him.
They take him to court. I get to talking to him,
whatever. And you know, your boy get to
say, hey man, I plead guilty to this shit.
Fuck them *** I only pleaded because I thought the *** I'm
pleading the man, *** about to kill me, gang, I'm *** about to
kill me. Fuck that.
Now, while your boy Tapley is inthere, they're called this ***
(42:47):
Mr. Utopia, because this is whata murder happened in Utopia.
I guess that's the part of Columbus, but whatever.
They're calling them Miselotopiabecause of course inmates will
do never watch the fucking TV. And they love watching the
fucking news, right? They love watching the news.
All two things them inmates lovedoing is fucking guys watching
(43:08):
the news and telling on other inmates.
That's what they do. I know a lot of people that do
that are Deals, and this is the stuff they tell me, you know,
whatever. So anyway, oh Deals is an
officer. They tell me a lot of shit
because I asked some shit because I want to know what's
ends and not some shit, right? Cool.
So they tell me this stuff. So basically he calls homeboy
(43:29):
Miss Utopia. He tells homeboy, hey *** don't
fucking call me that pussy before I kill you like I did
those three. Motherfucker.
I will kill you, *** And of course, like most inmates do,
they run over there and fucking tell because they are scared for
their life now. And now they can't be in there
with this motherfucker. What?
(43:52):
After he goes over until he getsmoved he writes a letter to the
fucking BA and tells him everything he has learned about
motherfucking tablets since he'sbeen in there.
So they call your boy. I mean they call this snitch ass
inmate down because his pussy ass looking for any excuse to
one get out the sale to look fora get home quicker card.
(44:17):
Anyway, he goes and say, yeah, man, I spent a little time with
this guy, but he was pissed. When I called him Mr. Utopia, he
told me he would kill my ass like he did those three.
And he said he wouldn't mind doing it again.
And he said he should have fucked them.
What? You heard me right.
(44:41):
He said he should have fucked them.
What? Now let me tell you something,
This is why I do my own researchbecause you're not going to hear
that nowhere unless you go through the shit.
I went through the finest stuff.He said he should have fucked
(45:03):
them. Mention it was a lady, that he
was like a mother to him, it washis boy, he was like a cousin to
him and then it was a 10 year old girl.
Bro this is weird. You should have fucked who?
What? So anyway, this is brought up in
(45:23):
court, right? So they're waiting.
It took almost two years for them to offensively go to trial
because you know, the judge saidwe're going to try these 3
mother fuckers at the same time.Not the same time.
He's going to sentence them at the same time.
So it don't matter who went first, who went last, they get
(45:43):
sentenced the same fucking day, right?
So anyway, they call them all three into court, given said,
hey man, I plead guilty. He says I plead guilty, but
bullshit. I want to go ahead and get this
shit on the road. I'm done.
(46:06):
I'm throwing my mercy to you. Judge Tablet said fuck that.
I ain't pleading. No motherfucking guilty.
I'll kiss my ass. No, no, no.
At first he said not guilty, then he pleaded guilty.
Now he's saying not again. And they take his ass to the
back and tell him, look here ***we're gonna bring your bitch ass
back tomorrow and you better have a clear fucking mind on
what you wanna do because we can't make the choice for you
(46:29):
now, Rufus, I mean bro, Rufus Burks, he said no, fuck them ***
I'm taking this shit to trial. Mention trial is a week away.
He didn't Fuck it. I'm still going.
I'm still going to trial, Right?So cool.
The very next day. Hey, bring your boy.
(46:51):
Tap it back in, He says you honor.
You know what? I don't want to put the family
through this shit no more. I plead guilty and they were
like cool, take your black ass back to yourself.
We will deal with you after trial game at trial, couple
(47:12):
weeks later they get in there and they tell hey man, you
really have nothing to stand on.They bring the number one state
witness Gibson. He said yeah, man, we rolled
over there. We stole this shit.
We, we didn't, we didn't know what, we didn't know what the
(47:34):
fuck was going on. I didn't know what was going on.
But I know they went there. They took some shit.
I rolled back with him. I kept asking questions.
Nobody would tell me nothing. So at that point I told my mom
and dad. I was just scared, fear for my
fucking life. And I was like, I just had to do
something because I hadn't ate, I hadn't slept, I hadn't do
nothing. I couldn't fucking fucking
fucking breathe. He was like, yeah, we went over
(47:54):
there. I never knew what the plan was.
All I knew was like, we were trying to grab some shit, but
all that murder shit, I didn't see it.
But after reading the news, I noticed what happened because
why the fuck wouldn't they tell me what happened in the house?
And not only that, I kept askingthem.
And they was like, *** if you want to know, you should have
came in. And at that point I say fuck
(48:15):
this. I'm telling on these *** because
they is not going to kill me, right?
Cool. After that, they brought up the
white guy. The white guy said, yeah, I saw
that *** right there. He was out there.
It was about 2:00 AM. That *** right there, he scared
the fuck out of me. That's why I called the police.
(48:36):
I thought he's about to car Jackme and peep this.
He probably fucking was, becauseyou gotta remember, fucking
Tapley had just put them next onthe corner and told him to walk
to Mom's grandma's house. It was a 20 minute walk, *** no,
we're going to slide them fucking shoes over and get in
this fucking car, right? And then last but not least,
(48:58):
Demur. Now remember, Demur told his
mother they ain't coming. I got a bitch over here.
I bought a condom if I do some nasty with her, right?
He was like, yeah, man. I woke up the next morning and
it was a bag of shit at my door,so I opened it.
(49:21):
Jordan's PS-5, some clothes and ask him what you do with it
here. I call my boy up.
He came up. We took pictures in it.
What? Yeah, we took pictures.
Post them on Facebook. Yeah, they went through some of
the shoes up on auction for *** to buy them.
(49:45):
What? At this point, at this point, at
this point, Burks is losing his shit and he's probably like why
(50:06):
me Lord? Why me, Lord?
So at the end of this trial, youknow, No, not the end.
During the trial, it is a lady by the name of Jennifer Curry.
(50:30):
Who is Jennifer Curry? Jennifer Curry is that is
Rufus's Rufus Burke's lawyer, right?
And she is frustrated. She's she's she's presenting a
(50:52):
case for triple murder, triple homicide.
And Brooke's mother don't want to pay.
No, she ain't cutting no check. No, she dropped a little bit of
money here. No, she dropped a little bit of
money there. And when it came time for them
(51:13):
to get up on there and say what was the verdict?
They say guilty. Burke's Mama hadn't paid this
woman two years and now her son just got sentenced. 2 life, 2
(51:39):
time, 2 life, he got 2. He's got two life terms plus 15
years with the possibility of possibility of parole.
And he is housed in the state prison of Aberfield, Georgia.
They go, what, your Mama ain't paid a lawyer late?
(51:59):
Hey, I'm going to get to that. Y'all got to hear this amount
gang. Raheem Gibson at his sentencing,
his people can say he's a father.
He didn't have a he didn't have a way out.
He dropped out of school, he wasdepressed, but he was fucking
(52:22):
get the fuck out of here. Hey dad, that *** 30 years right
now, Tapley. At his sentencing, Shamika got
up and spoke and said how could you?
(52:44):
She picked up a picture and she said look at this, look at this
you mother fucker. It was a picture of Tapley,
Caleb and Giovanna. I mean Giovanni.
I mean Janaya. The fuck.
(53:04):
Yeah, Janaya, all in the pool, she said.
How could you do this? We loved you, we cared for you.
We took you on vacation. You ate my fucking food and you
(53:29):
beat my fucking family. What, the fucking 20 LB weight
and stabbed him? You beat the fucking teeth out.
Do you understand what kind of anger that is?
Why are you so fucking mad? We treat you like family you
bitch ass *** Tapley finally showed emotion, tears coming
(53:57):
down his eyes, but he said nothing and he was sentenced to
three life terms without the possibility of parole.
The story ain't no be a gang. I got a lot of stuff to tell
(54:19):
y'all and it's like I got another story to tell y'all too.
So don't turn off, don't, don't turn it off yet.
I know how you *** get but whatever.
Two years later Jennifer Curry takes Rufus Burke's mother to
court and sued her ass. How much money do you think she
(54:42):
sued this guy for? For how much is he sued his mom
for? Any any takers?
6 grand and she won plus court calls. *** You thought a $6000
lawyer was about to beat a triple murder?
And kidnapping and theft of a vehicle and home invasion.
(55:07):
How bro dog A6 grand can't get you out of fucking hit and run 6
grand can't get you out of a shit bro.
I don't know what's look since grand ain't getting you out of
much. I guarantee you bro, look, 6000
won't get you out of a fucking restraining order.
(55:30):
That *** going to want 5 grand. He's going to want 5 grand.
Yeah, so after that cool, she won and she chunks the dudes
like fuck y'all. Rufus files for appeal.
It is denied immediately. He sent it on my man.
That evidence should have been suppressed.
(55:51):
This that and the other this that *** did.
Nigga's always want evidence to some shit.
They did suppressed *** No, no. So it was denied.
But in February of 2025, almost 10 years after the murder,
(56:14):
Tablet is back in the headlines again.
Oh yeah, While he was sitting upin jail, probably wishing he'd
get some ass. But he settled sleeping with
guys now because he is a resident of the state and he
loves men. Based on his new pictures, he's
(56:37):
sucking Dick for sure. Yeah, it was a deal walking
through there, and this deal hasa little bit of rank on him, but
that rank ain't got nothing to do with motherfucking Tapley
Shank. And he go right across this
nigga's head. Literally, he stabbed the deal
in the head, in the face, in theneck, in the head, in the face,
(56:58):
in the neck. And they wraps him up here,
fucking deal. Almost dies, right?
And he is charged with aggravated assault and attempted
murder on an officer. And now he has been shipped to
another facility and he is in solitary confinement where he
would be for the remainder of his days.
(57:19):
And I may tell you something, being in solitary, your day
isn't going to be long because that shit is going to drive you
crazy. It's like being on fucking death
row, you know, death row. You're in a single man cell.
You can't rape. No guys, you can't.
It's nothing. You, you just there, bro, is the
(57:40):
worst place to go. It's kind of like they're
forcing your hand. Like you going to die or you
going to do it? Are you going to die natural or
you going to do it yourself? But you ain't coming out it
outside of a box. Oh yeah, mm hmm there's now I'm
(58:02):
brothers keep we got wet feelingpretty good game S R&B shoot at
the live show was drunk drunk off her ass.
Shout out to garden shout out toqueen.
But anyway, what's good word is King Arthur, and this is not my
(58:23):
Brothers Keepers podcast, a truecrime podcast about Black Goose
who killed it is Monday, June 23rd, 2025.
Yeah, man, your boy, your boy Amir Atkins.
(58:43):
He outside with the people. He outside with the gang doing
his thing, right? Crazy part about Amir.
Amir is 11. What?

So anyway, homeboy is out with his people, right?
(59:32):
And they got the straps on them and just riding around because
they, you know, he's running around doing what they gotta do,
right? And they roll up over to this
rec center's parking lot, right?And as they roll up, your boy
(59:53):
Amir, he, he leans out the passenger window and he points
his gun at the 16 year old whosename had been redacted because
simply he's underage gang. 16 year olds was like, you got the
right motherfucking 1. 16 year old jumps in the whip, pulls out
(01:00:20):
the hammer. But ba ba ba ba ba letting that
bitch sang ba. Shoots a mirror's ass right in
their head, a mirror fall back in the past.
The seat *** sleep. They drive for a little minutes,
they park, they pull his ass up out there.
Drive. They pull his ass out that seat
(01:00:41):
in front of his house. The resident of the house sees
this shit runs down like what the fuck happened?
Oh man, my boy got shot out of nowhere.
He's like what? Homeboy picks him up, throws him
in his car, racing to the hospital, flags down a cop,
police stop. Police pull a mere ass out the
(01:01:02):
car for the second time and theytry to save him, but boom,
Homeboy is dead on arrival. Homeboy is asleep.
Never see another day again. But the 16 year old he is in the
wind. Yeah, so they start talking
about this, a bunch of gang violence.
(01:01:22):
It's a bunch of gun violence, the teenagers, the youth or
getting a hold of guns and this,that and the other.
We don't need this no more. You just taking innocent lives
and all this bullshit. Because eventually video comes
out and it shows Amir's bad ass hanging out the fucking window
(01:01:43):
with a gun and his delusional ass parents saying we gotta stop
the violence. Are you fucking serious?
They don't bare the mirror's ass.
They don't start doing walks forhis ass.
They talking about justice for amirror's ass *** He got justice
(01:02:03):
St. justice. You don't pull no guns on no ***
*** But anyway, anyway, it took about a month for the 16 year
old to get his ass arrested in Apple Valley right?
It's in Minneapolis. So y'all see nobody said I need
a couple shows in Minneapolis. But anyway he's picked up and he
(01:02:25):
gets he gets arrested but no no no no no no no no.
He is arrested for possession ofa gun as a minor and was hit
with self-defense on the killingof a mirror.
Jeez look here I'll take my couple years and juvie because
(01:02:49):
you're getting out. They clerk said this was
self-defense. He should have shot every *** in
that car. Now how safe is he going to be
when you get out? I'd probably move but it is what
it is, a mirror. AI don't know to tell you but
your parents up there hooping and Holland talking about this
shit ain't fair bitch. Whatever, but until next time,

to work at a local hospital, right?
And Gloria, she has already retired, she did her 3130 years
on basis admin. If you don't know what admin is
as administration, it's hard to explain shit 'cause some ***
ain't got jobs. So when you say in Ackerman,

They don't know what the FTO is,the PTO and nothing like that.
(06:52):

But anyway, she's retired now. She's just been home and she
likes to travel now. He just does all the working.
But you know, they got good though.
They did. That's 50.
(07:37):
That's a combination of 50 yearsin the military.
They got checks coming in, gang,right?
So in 2014, your boy Tapley, he has been running around with the
wrong crowd and he has been cut off from the family.
(07:58):
No, no, no, no, no. Now Gloria ain't cut her brother
off, but she has definitely cut this little boy off because
hell, he he doing too much shit and I want my kid around that
and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
I'm I'm for that. Keep your bad ass kids from over
here. Keep, keep is that got to stay
(08:19):
over there. He ain't coming over here right
now. He been running around with a
couple guys. You know, he been running around
with a guy named Raheem Gibson, Rufus Burks.
He got a little homie named Demur.
You know, they just kind of kickit.

(08:39):
But Rufus, well, he's already 19, right?
And he has he has a baby. This *** didn't dropped out of
school. He claimed to be a little bit he
claimed to be depressed. He claimed to know where he
going on life, but he always seem to find a pussy.
(09:00):
Yeah they got a baby and no job.Why bro, you got to get a job.
You don't have baby. You get a the burn.
Look here at some point you justgot to get a job *** Why don't

ones, the twos, the threes, the fives, the elevens, the bread,
the 12, the retros. Hell, Travis Scott, he got

He got the PS4, got the new gameNBA Live.
You know he playing college. You know he got everything you
(09:48):

But he's a good kid and good kids deserve nice shit.
That's just how I am, bro. If you doing right bro, you can
know what the fuck you wanna. That's just me.
You know what the fuck you want.You can have whatever the fuck
(10:09):
you want because these schools right now is it mediocrity Run
nation. Look here bro, my son doesn't

Third place, I said, bro, that shit is, I told him that shit is
terrific, 'cause I'm like, shit spelling *** everybody can't

(10:34):
But at the end of the year, maybe the like, congratulations,

went up 30%. Oh, this kid went up 15 points.
Oh this kids, I'm like negative,they passed it.
They fucking fail mention out that out of that whole fucking
spelling bee it was like I'm gonna say 5 black kids and 2nd
(10:58):
3rd approach were both black. So I feel like they should have
been more acknowledged on at theend of the year.
Not to mention my son's in all advanced classes.
So no, we should not be congratulating bullshit.
We need to let these people knowthat these people are doing good
and these people need to step the truck up.
That is me gang. But anyway, he's doing good in
school. He gets everything he wants.
(11:19):
He's doing what he got to do to make his parents proud.
Not to mention when he goes to college, if it end the

You know cool, now he over thereright, But you know eventually,
eventually the holiday is over and you got to take your ass

pissed. He ain't got none of the shit
(12:26):
that your boy Caleb got. He got the great vibes on,
right? Got the great vibes on black and
green low elevens with the snakeskin brand new iPhone.
It'll make a *** jealous, right?So tapping like, you know what I

When they say they finna bust a move, mention he's with his
family. Well, his family, he just
started. He got his girlfriend and his
baby and he ain't got no GB or no job, right?
(14:09):
So he should be looking for a job, right?
But anyway, he didn't told him that yeah, I'd be over there.
And of course his girl. Look at him sideways.
Like *** I came over to you withyou and I brought her a child.
You telling me you leaving? I'm pretty sure Britain and
Daisy would have slapped this guy silly.
(14:34):
I got a feeling they would have cursed this *** and told him if
he leaves, don't come back. Yeah, but anyway.
But anyway, he leaves, right? And then you got your boy Burks.
I was like, cool *** Just hit meup while I'm with it.

which is the fucking DVS. They can actually.

And then Gibson, he comes back and he picks up your boy Tapley
(17:58):

head back over to the Caleb's crib, well, close to Caleb's
crib. And they hide the moped because

Still bad, still bad, right? So when they get there, they go
through the back, open the back door, right, open the back gate,
(18:21):
go through. He calls Caleb.
Caleb opened the fucking window and said hey man, what the what
the fuck you want? You like like hey bro, come to

(18:45):
He's like, *** just come to the front, let me in, let me in.
He's like, OK, cool, whatever. Now Gibson, he's hide in the
bushes, right, because he didn'twant to be seen by Caleb.
Cool and you got motherfucking Burks.
He's standing off to the side too, so motherfucking tap.
(19:08):
But he's kind of standing like out to where?
Like not to where he has to grabTapley to bring, I mean grab
Caleb to bring him out, but far enough he has to walk completely
out the door. So he walks out the door and
closes it. And at that point they bum rush
him, Tapley and motherfucking Burks.
(19:29):
They tap onto the ground, they wrap his ass up like a mummy in
duct tape. And the whole time, motherfucker
say hey, *** I know you fucking playing bitch, I know you

(19:50):

Zip, zip, zip kept wrapping his ass up, right, Nick drug his ass

This whole time, This whole timeGibson is like, what the fuck?
What the fuck is going on, right?
(20:11):
He's like, what the fuck is going on?
Right. So they take Tapley's ass.
Tapley, ma'am. They take Caleb to the back,
throws his ass in through the window where he opened the talk
to them. They threw his ass back in the
window. Yeah, like a fish out of water.
You know how fish is. Would they be flat?
(20:32):
No, they threw his ass through the window, right.
And they go in, right? And once they go in, they go
right over there. They grab his mother, they grab
his mother and Caleb's niece, Right.
Oh, yeah. You would think it was when they
(20:54):
doing something this bold, that it would just be a handful of
people at the house. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Let me rewind it a little bit. Earlier that day, Robert Short
had just went to work because heworks overnight.
Caleb, I'm not Caleb. Tapley knows that Caleb.
(21:18):
I mean, Tapley knows that Robertis gone.
Cool. But what he didn't anticipate is
that Gianna, which is which is Roberts granddaughter and
Caleb's niece and Gloria's grandbaby, was there because her
(21:42):
mother had just dropped her off,did her hair because she was
going out to hang with the crew.So he didn't expect this at all.
He thought he was just going to wrap him up, go in kidnap, do
some tie up to mother and no, but no, not is not only one
person here is 2. So they duct tape the Mama now
(22:05):
and they have duct tape Gianna right, right.
They have duct taped them both right.
And this is kinda when the storegets cloudy, right?
Because they start ransacking the house, right?
(22:33):
They have, they have stolen all of Caleb Jordan's, his PS4, his
clothes. They have stolen $600 out of his
mother's room, and all of a sudden Gibson is outside.
(22:56):
You know, he's kind of like outside and as a lookout because
he chose not to go in the house.So he's he, he's like, he's
still kind of lost. So he goes around because he
hears the garage lit up and he hears motherfucking tap and say,
hey, Gibson, Gibson. So he called around, like, what
(23:17):
up? What's up?
And he sees these muscles walking out with shoe boxes and
they put them in the Beetle, Volkswagen, go back in Beetle,
put them in there, right? And they're just loading up all
their shit, right? And a Tapley says, Hey, y'all
(23:37):
took a head out. I, I, I got to get up some more
shit, right? He's like, oh, OK, So they get
in the car, they drive off, but back at the house, Cathy goes in
there, grabs a 20 LB weight, beats Gianna across the head and
(23:58):
stabs her, goes to Gloria, beatsher upside the head, stabs her,
goes to motherfucking Caleb, drags him to his parents closet,
beats him with a 20 LB weight and stabs him two.
He was a total of 23 stab woundsin 2 minutes to count blood
(24:24):
force trauma to the head, knocking out teeth from all of
them. Not to mention Gianna is only
10. Yeah, yeah.
And then he jumps in the car. Oh, no, no, no, not the
(24:49):
Volkswagen. He jumps in the other car.
They're stealing two cars now. GMC Envoy, right?
And he tells them, hey, meet me at the park, I'll be there.
Right. So when he gets there, I mean,
it was good. It was good.
Hey, man, take all that shit out.
(25:11):
That was fucking trunk. And you put that bullshit over
here, right? And it's like, hey, why is it
hey? And give you back their
motherfucking keys. You *** walk to my grandma
house. I'll meet you all there.
And they're like, *** what the fuck?
We came wrong with you. You need to meet us there.
You're like, I gotta drop this shit off right now.
He hits up your boy. Dumb mirror, dumb mirror.
(25:34):
Then woke up. He had to get up by the pussy
real quick. What's the game?
He's like, hey, I'm going to drop some shit off at your
house. Grab it in the morning when you
get up. He's like, cool, bet I hit you
back. I'm busy.
Click OK, Homeboy drops it off, right?
And then he goes drop the truck off and he go drop.
(25:54):
And then he gets rid of the truck.
He drops it back off too, right?And then he walks to his
grandmother's house. So now all of them is at tap his
grandmother's house, which the woman he just killed, Gloria,
her brother is Robert Everett, who is dating.
This is Tapley's grandmother, right?
(26:16):
So he just went there and killedthis man's family.
And now he's back at this man's house and him is Tapley Gibson
and got damn burst. Now they putting it up in the
air. Yeah, they got this some Zaza,
they got them some. So this is some some some some
(26:38):
Kush they got them some what what else y'all call that shit
some herbal essence. They got them a little bit of
whatever you call it and they are putting it in the air
talking about how they just can how they just pulled off a
successful heist. Now Gibson on other hand, he
(27:00):
doesn't know what the fuck happened inside that house.
He said hey man fuck happened inthere tablets say hey man if you
want to know what happened you should have came in mind your
business. Let me tell you something once
he said that if I was Gibson I would get the fuck out of there
(27:23):

You know how I get down you knowhow I rock but you telling me
don't worry about it. Hey, man, at that point, *** my
head is on a swivel. My head is on a swivel, *** I
guarantee it. So eventually they got done
(27:46):
smoking. Burks goes his way on feet,
Gibson goes his way on feet. This shit is bothering Gibson.
He goes home, can't eat, can't sleep.
He's going through it. What's this going to say?
I can't eat, can't sleep. You know, there's this unnatural
(28:09):
Rd. This Nick is going through it.
He don't know what to do no moreright now.
Tapley. Is this business usual?
I'm gonna carry on like I carry on.
Your boy versus went back to thecrib with his girl and his baby.
OK, man. Happy home, bruh.
(28:30):
Happy mother fucking home right?So anyway, the next morning your
boy Robert had just got off work.
He pulls up to his driveway. He see his garage up and his God
damn garage door open right? He goes in the house. 3 dead
bodies. 33 dead bodies. Duct tape.
(29:00):
He finds Diana living room, blood everywhere, teeth on the
ground. He finds Caleb in his closet,
blood everywhere, teeth on the ground, grass on his clothes
like he had been outside. Find Gloria Duct tape in the
(29:21):
kitchen. He didn't see it when he walked
in at first. They are all dead and at 8 O2,
he's calling 911 saying hey, somebody's came in and killed my
family. I need the motherfucking
authorities over here right motherfucking now.
He is crying. He is hysterical.
(29:42):
He don't know what the fuck is going on.
When the police get there, they start taking evidence.
They realize that there's one room that that Caleb's back
window was open. They saying we think that's how
they got in, you know, and they go from there and they take
Robert down to what? When I say they take Robert
Short. So, you know, Robert Short is
(30:05):
Gloria's husband and you got Robert Everett.
That's Gloria's brother. So I'm going to call him Short.
I'm going to call him Robert Short and some call Brother
Everett. Now Robert Short, he goes down.
He said, hey, man, it was a normal day.
I went home. I mean, I went to work.
I didn't I didn't hear nothing from my wife, but I use it on
clockwork overnight. She go to sleep early like that.
Like we don't have no enemies. I have no idea.
(30:26):
I mean, this might be inside job.
He said, well, was taking. I mean, looks like a lot of my
son's shit is took. So I'm thinking whoever the fuck
did this knows my job right now.You got Shamika Everett, that is
Gianna's mother. Yeah, that is glorious daughter
(30:49):
and Robert Schwartz, stepdaughter, right?
And she is toe up. She has lost her only child.
She has lost her only child, bro.
And she's like, I want these mother fuckers caught.
(31:10):
I want these mother fuckers caught.
And he tells me both my cars aregone.
Volkswagen AGMC envoy, they bothgone, but luckily the fucking
beetle has GPS and they find in a couple days at a fucking at
the fart. Right, cool, right.
So as they're doing this, they finally they get it's like they
(31:32):
call Robert in. He's talking and shit right now.
Robert Everett, I mean Everett with his glorious brother.
He's having a hard time with this.
He just lost three people in hisfamily in a blink of an eye,
(31:53):
lost his sister, lost a nephew, lost a great niece.
He is fucked up. He is fucked up at you, right?
So, you know, they get to Kayla's phone through through
the they go through Kayla's phone records and stuff like
(32:15):
this and they see that Caleb hasbeen talking to Tapley.
So they call Tapley in Tapley, say, hey, man, that's my cousin.
We really when they close the kind of game together, I don't
be over there that often that much.
Like I don't know if he had any enemies when I come around.
We just do, you know, homeboy shit talk about girls, play
video games, play basketball, jump in the pool, you know, shit
(32:37):
like that. I don't know if he got any
enemies. That was my boy.
And I'm sad for this, but I had nothing to do with this.
And they let him go. But they say, hey, we need your
cell phone. You like cool, you can have my
cell phone. And it was like, OK, cool.
(33:00):
And he leaves, right? He leaves, right.
The very next day, Gibson has been talking to his mother and
sister. He was like, Mama, that shit
that happened over there in Columbus.
I was there. I don't know what happened.
(33:22):
I didn't go inside, but I was there.
I I don't know. I don't know.
I was and she called the police,right?
And so he goes downtown, right? And talk to him, right?
(33:51):
And they get his store and he tell them, yeah, man, we went
over here, we took some shit. I never went inside but they
never told me what the plan was.And he said when I kept asking
them if I kept asking like what happened, what happened, what
happened, what happened, what happened, they wouldn't tell me.
And he said that I felt like them not telling me men that
(34:20):
they were going to try to kill me since I didn't go in and help
since because if I would have been in there, I'd have been
implicated just as much as them.And the detective was like, hey,
hold up cuz you implicated now. Fuck.
You went in and I, you were there.
So he had to let him know that you were implicated.
(34:43):
Sir, there ain't no, I didn't goin.
So I imported this shit. Yeah, you in this bro.
And he gives him the whole rundown and they arrest him.
But they kind of keep it quiet, right?
Because eventually they had already called Robert Shorty in
(35:03):
for a second interview to run down his day again.
And they also called in tapling in and they asked him what was
going on. But this time they had a warrant
and they took then they took hishair and they took his DNA,
right? They let him go again, right.
But after Gibson with the talking, they went and arrest
(35:28):
homeboy at his house. Yep, Yep.
He was ready for school and everything.
And they had arrested him, told him show told him what the fuck
they had told him what the fuck they had going on and they took
(35:49):
their ass into custody. And when they were sitting into
into the interrogation room, he didn't say a word.
Not a thing. But a lawyer.
Yeah. Yes, a homeboy.
So now you got Gibson arrested and you got Tapley arrested.
It took well, not I'm taking back after he was arrested.
(36:15):
The Short family, they're all inshock.
They are like, wait, what? They are like, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait. What?

Disneyland with us. Yes.
Ain't no random shit. This is fucking family.
Family, ain't she, gang? She said.
This is fucking family. This shit ain't right, she said.
(37:01):
Who said there ain't no such thing as monsters?
This nigger's a monster right right now.
It took almost a month to catch up to Rufus Burks.
So, you know, of course Rufus Burks is watching the news,
right? And you gotta mention, I mean,
(37:23):
that I mentioned he's already kind of a career criminal at the
age of 15. He's had multiple runners with
the law. So, you know, he he he know how
to duck a dodge around his mother, right?
I was like, go pick a *** up at school.
But a *** this kid admitted murders and shit, you know?
Yeah. School.
(37:44):
What fuck is that? So anyway, the family is
outraged. All three of them have been hit
with right now, triple murder, Grand Theft Auto, robbery,
malice murder, everything under the fucking sun, right?
(38:08):
And that when they finally pick up Rufus, they find the fucking
helmet that goes with this fucking moped because he got rid
of the fucking moped. Fucking dumb ass.
And look, they never even went back to get the bike.
What? *** your fucking fingerprints
and everything along that shit. Not to mention they were seen.
Oh yeah, it was a white guy. He's at the ATM.
(38:33):
He pulled out him a little bit of bread at 2:00 AM.
Bro, What? What are you gonna buy?
Well, you need cash at 2:00 AM. So anyway, he's pulled his cash
out and it should scare him out.This should scare the shit out
of him for doing things at 2:00 AM in the morning that he needs
cash for. Because he said it was a black
(38:55):
guy walking into my car and I panicked and I feel he took off,
right? But after the murders, he called
the police, said, hey, I was in the area and I saw some guys
that night, right? He goes down and say, yeah, man,
I saw some guys. The guy was coming straight to
my car. He scared shit out me and I
drove the fuck off. And I called 911.
Yes, he was white, so I'd be handy, Mandy.
(39:16):
Anyway, he comes in and gives his interview and he says, yeah,
man, I saw some guys out there, they were black and I think it
might have been light skinned, right?
So they give him my lineup and you know who he points out?
No, no, no, no, no, no, it was not Catholic gang.
It was goddamn Rufus Burks. Yeah, the 14 year old What?
(39:41):
What the fuck? No, where are these people
parents now? I try not to blame parents about
a lot of shit these kids do these days because do we really
know what the fuck is going on? We gotta work, we gotta do this,
we gotta do that. But you can say that shit for
whoever because I'll be on my kids ass from the far.
(40:05):
I was in VR1 time and I called my twins to tell them this, that
and the fucking other. Don't play with me, don't play
with me. I can parent you from across the
fucking country *** I can, I canparent from across the world, I
can parent an outer space gang. So don't tell me me not being
(40:25):
able to leave fucking Georgia. I don't know what the fuck my
child is at. Whatever.
That's just me though. You do what you want to do you
bad ass kids. But anyway.
And a 14 year old has been pointed out being outside 2:00
AM. What?
But anyway, anyway, these *** this shit has happened, right?
(40:47):
But let me peep this, peep this when they get Dirks into the
interview, get interrogation. He said the same thing.
Tap this lawyer, lawyer, lawyer.Now.
Tapley was distraught when he got picked up.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Not because he's going to jail,
(41:09):
but because he is in mourning. No, no, no, no, no.
He's not mourning for Gianna. He's not mourning for Gloria.
He's not mourning for Caleb. Oh, let's rewind it.
Two days after the murder, Gloria's brother, Robert
Everett, dies of a heart attack.And I think it was all, I think
(41:41):
it was, I know it was all because of his sister, the
deaths of his family. It triggered it.
Yeah. Now, if you ask Gibson, who gave
him the story that A, he said, yeah, last month I talked to
Tapley. He was really upset because his
(42:02):
grandpa had just died and he asked Tapley how did his grandpa
die? Tapley said he was smoking that
shit. I don't believe that.
It was all heartbreak. Damn bro, I know it was.
But anyway, we Fast forward backto where we was at Robert say
(42:23):
fuck this. They take him.
They take him to court. I get to talking to him,
whatever. And you know, your boy get to
say, hey man, I plead guilty to this shit.
Fuck them *** I only pleaded because I thought the *** I'm
pleading the man, *** about to kill me, gang, I'm *** about to
kill me. Fuck that.
Now, while your boy Tapley is inthere, they're called this ***
(42:47):
Mr. Utopia, because this is whata murder happened in Utopia.
I guess that's the part of Columbus, but whatever.
They're calling them Miselotopiabecause of course inmates will
do never watch the fucking TV. And they love watching the
fucking news, right? They love watching the news.
All two things them inmates lovedoing is fucking guys watching
(43:08):
the news and telling on other inmates.
That's what they do. I know a lot of people that do
that are Deals, and this is the stuff they tell me, you know,
whatever. So anyway, oh Deals is an
officer. They tell me a lot of shit
because I asked some shit because I want to know what's
ends and not some shit, right? Cool.
So they tell me this stuff. So basically he calls homeboy
(43:29):
Miss Utopia. He tells homeboy, hey *** don't
fucking call me that pussy before I kill you like I did
those three. Motherfucker.
I will kill you, *** And of course, like most inmates do,
they run over there and fucking tell because they are scared for
their life now. And now they can't be in there
with this motherfucker. What?
(43:52):
After he goes over until he getsmoved he writes a letter to the
fucking BA and tells him everything he has learned about
motherfucking tablets since he'sbeen in there.
So they call your boy. I mean they call this snitch ass
inmate down because his pussy ass looking for any excuse to
one get out the sale to look fora get home quicker card.
(44:17):
Anyway, he goes and say, yeah, man, I spent a little time with
this guy, but he was pissed. When I called him Mr. Utopia, he
told me he would kill my ass like he did those three.
And he said he wouldn't mind doing it again.
And he said he should have fucked them.
What? You heard me right.
(44:41):
He said he should have fucked them.
What? Now let me tell you something,
This is why I do my own researchbecause you're not going to hear
that nowhere unless you go through the shit.
I went through the finest stuff.He said he should have fucked
(45:03):
them. Mention it was a lady, that he
was like a mother to him, it washis boy, he was like a cousin to
him and then it was a 10 year old girl.
Bro this is weird. You should have fucked who?
What? So anyway, this is brought up in
(45:23):
court, right? So they're waiting.
It took almost two years for them to offensively go to trial
because you know, the judge saidwe're going to try these 3
mother fuckers at the same time.Not the same time.
He's going to sentence them at the same time.
So it don't matter who went first, who went last, they get
(45:43):
sentenced the same fucking day, right?
So anyway, they call them all three into court, given said,
hey man, I plead guilty. He says I plead guilty, but
bullshit. I want to go ahead and get this
shit on the road. I'm done.
(46:06):
I'm throwing my mercy to you. Judge Tablet said fuck that.
I ain't pleading. No motherfucking guilty.
I'll kiss my ass. No, no, no.
At first he said not guilty, then he pleaded guilty.
Now he's saying not again. And they take his ass to the
back and tell him, look here ***we're gonna bring your bitch ass
back tomorrow and you better have a clear fucking mind on
what you wanna do because we can't make the choice for you
(46:29):
now, Rufus, I mean bro, Rufus Burks, he said no, fuck them ***
I'm taking this shit to trial. Mention trial is a week away.
He didn't Fuck it. I'm still going.
I'm still going to trial, Right?So cool.
The very next day. Hey, bring your boy.
(46:51):
Tap it back in, He says you honor.
You know what? I don't want to put the family
through this shit no more. I plead guilty and they were
like cool, take your black ass back to yourself.
We will deal with you after trial game at trial, couple
(47:12):
weeks later they get in there and they tell hey man, you
really have nothing to stand on.They bring the number one state
witness Gibson. He said yeah, man, we rolled
over there. We stole this shit.
We, we didn't, we didn't know what, we didn't know what the
(47:34):
fuck was going on. I didn't know what was going on.
But I know they went there. They took some shit.
I rolled back with him. I kept asking questions.
Nobody would tell me nothing. So at that point I told my mom
and dad. I was just scared, fear for my
fucking life. And I was like, I just had to do
something because I hadn't ate, I hadn't slept, I hadn't do
nothing. I couldn't fucking fucking
fucking breathe. He was like, yeah, we went over
(47:54):
there. I never knew what the plan was.
All I knew was like, we were trying to grab some shit, but
all that murder shit, I didn't see it.
But after reading the news, I noticed what happened because
why the fuck wouldn't they tell me what happened in the house?
And not only that, I kept askingthem.
And they was like, *** if you want to know, you should have
came in. And at that point I say fuck
(48:15):
this. I'm telling on these *** because
they is not going to kill me, right?
Cool. After that, they brought up the
white guy. The white guy said, yeah, I saw
that *** right there. He was out there.
It was about 2:00 AM. That *** right there, he scared
the fuck out of me. That's why I called the police.
(48:36):
I thought he's about to car Jackme and peep this.
He probably fucking was, becauseyou gotta remember, fucking
Tapley had just put them next onthe corner and told him to walk
to Mom's grandma's house. It was a 20 minute walk, *** no,
we're going to slide them fucking shoes over and get in
this fucking car, right? And then last but not least,
(48:58):
Demur. Now remember, Demur told his
mother they ain't coming. I got a bitch over here.
I bought a condom if I do some nasty with her, right?
He was like, yeah, man. I woke up the next morning and
it was a bag of shit at my door,so I opened it.
(49:21):
Jordan's PS-5, some clothes and ask him what you do with it
here. I call my boy up.
He came up. We took pictures in it.
What? Yeah, we took pictures.
Post them on Facebook. Yeah, they went through some of
the shoes up on auction for *** to buy them.
(49:45):
What? At this point, at this point, at
this point, Burks is losing his shit and he's probably like why
(50:06):
me Lord? Why me, Lord?
So at the end of this trial, youknow, No, not the end.
During the trial, it is a lady by the name of Jennifer Curry.
(50:30):
Who is Jennifer Curry? Jennifer Curry is that is
Rufus's Rufus Burke's lawyer, right?
And she is frustrated. She's she's she's presenting a
(50:52):
case for triple murder, triple homicide.
And Brooke's mother don't want to pay.
No, she ain't cutting no check. No, she dropped a little bit of
money here. No, she dropped a little bit of
money there. And when it came time for them
(51:13):
to get up on there and say what was the verdict?
They say guilty. Burke's Mama hadn't paid this
woman two years and now her son just got sentenced. 2 life, 2
(51:39):
time, 2 life, he got 2. He's got two life terms plus 15
years with the possibility of possibility of parole.
And he is housed in the state prison of Aberfield, Georgia.
They go, what, your Mama ain't paid a lawyer late?
(51:59):
Hey, I'm going to get to that. Y'all got to hear this amount
gang. Raheem Gibson at his sentencing,
his people can say he's a father.
He didn't have a he didn't have a way out.
He dropped out of school, he wasdepressed, but he was fucking
(52:22):
get the fuck out of here. Hey dad, that *** 30 years right
now, Tapley. At his sentencing, Shamika got
up and spoke and said how could you?
(52:44):
She picked up a picture and she said look at this, look at this
you mother fucker. It was a picture of Tapley,
Caleb and Giovanna. I mean Giovanni.
I mean Janaya. The fuck.
(53:04):
Yeah, Janaya, all in the pool, she said.
How could you do this? We loved you, we cared for you.
We took you on vacation. You ate my fucking food and you
(53:29):
beat my fucking family. What, the fucking 20 LB weight
and stabbed him? You beat the fucking teeth out.
Do you understand what kind of anger that is?
Why are you so fucking mad? We treat you like family you
bitch ass *** Tapley finally showed emotion, tears coming
(53:57):
down his eyes, but he said nothing and he was sentenced to
three life terms without the possibility of parole.
The story ain't no be a gang. I got a lot of stuff to tell
(54:19):
y'all and it's like I got another story to tell y'all too.
So don't turn off, don't, don't turn it off yet.
I know how you *** get but whatever.
Two years later Jennifer Curry takes Rufus Burke's mother to
court and sued her ass. How much money do you think she
(54:42):
sued this guy for? For how much is he sued his mom
for? Any any takers?
6 grand and she won plus court calls. *** You thought a $6000
lawyer was about to beat a triple murder?
And kidnapping and theft of a vehicle and home invasion.
(55:07):
How bro dog A6 grand can't get you out of fucking hit and run 6
grand can't get you out of a shit bro.
I don't know what's look since grand ain't getting you out of
much. I guarantee you bro, look, 6000
won't get you out of a fucking restraining order.
(55:30):
That *** going to want 5 grand. He's going to want 5 grand.
Yeah, so after that cool, she won and she chunks the dudes
like fuck y'all. Rufus files for appeal.
It is denied immediately. He sent it on my man.
That evidence should have been suppressed.
(55:51):
This that and the other this that *** did.
Nigga's always want evidence to some shit.
They did suppressed *** No, no. So it was denied.
But in February of 2025, almost 10 years after the murder,
(56:14):
Tablet is back in the headlines again.
Oh yeah, While he was sitting upin jail, probably wishing he'd
get some ass. But he settled sleeping with
guys now because he is a resident of the state and he
loves men. Based on his new pictures, he's
(56:37):
sucking Dick for sure. Yeah, it was a deal walking
through there, and this deal hasa little bit of rank on him, but
that rank ain't got nothing to do with motherfucking Tapley
Shank. And he go right across this
nigga's head. Literally, he stabbed the deal
in the head, in the face, in theneck, in the head, in the face,
(56:58):
in the neck. And they wraps him up here,
fucking deal. Almost dies, right?
And he is charged with aggravated assault and attempted
murder on an officer. And now he has been shipped to
another facility and he is in solitary confinement where he
would be for the remainder of his days.
(57:19):
And I may tell you something, being in solitary, your day
isn't going to be long because that shit is going to drive you
crazy. It's like being on fucking death
row, you know, death row. You're in a single man cell.
You can't rape. No guys, you can't.
It's nothing. You, you just there, bro, is the
(57:40):
worst place to go. It's kind of like they're
forcing your hand. Like you going to die or you
going to do it? Are you going to die natural or
you going to do it yourself? But you ain't coming out it
outside of a box. Oh yeah, mm hmm there's now I'm
(58:02):
brothers keep we got wet feelingpretty good game S R&B shoot at
the live show was drunk drunk off her ass.
Shout out to garden shout out toqueen.
But anyway, what's good word is King Arthur, and this is not my
(58:23):
Brothers Keepers podcast, a truecrime podcast about Black Goose
who killed it is Monday, June 23rd, 2025.
Yeah, man, your boy, your boy Amir Atkins.
(58:43):
He outside with the people. He outside with the gang doing
his thing, right? Crazy part about Amir.
Amir is 11. What?
Amir is 11 yeah him and a gang. They got some things on him and
they don't got two stolen cars again.

Ain't none of this shit from thefly.
So anyway, homeboy is out with his people, right?
(59:32):
And they got the straps on them and just riding around because
they, you know, he's running around doing what they gotta do,
right? And they roll up over to this
rec center's parking lot, right?And as they roll up, your boy
(59:53):
Amir, he, he leans out the passenger window and he points
his gun at the 16 year old whosename had been redacted because
simply he's underage gang. 16 year olds was like, you got the
right motherfucking 1. 16 year old jumps in the whip, pulls out
(01:00:20):
the hammer. But ba ba ba ba ba letting that
bitch sang ba. Shoots a mirror's ass right in
their head, a mirror fall back in the past.
The seat *** sleep. They drive for a little minutes,
they park, they pull his ass up out there.
Drive. They pull his ass out that seat
(01:00:41):
in front of his house. The resident of the house sees
this shit runs down like what the fuck happened?
Oh man, my boy got shot out of nowhere.
He's like what? Homeboy picks him up, throws him
in his car, racing to the hospital, flags down a cop,
police stop. Police pull a mere ass out the
(01:01:02):
car for the second time and theytry to save him, but boom,
Homeboy is dead on arrival. Homeboy is asleep.
Never see another day again. But the 16 year old he is in the
wind. Yeah, so they start talking
about this, a bunch of gang violence.
(01:01:22):
It's a bunch of gun violence, the teenagers, the youth or
getting a hold of guns and this,that and the other.
We don't need this no more. You just taking innocent lives
and all this bullshit. Because eventually video comes
out and it shows Amir's bad ass hanging out the fucking window
(01:01:43):
with a gun and his delusional ass parents saying we gotta stop
the violence. Are you fucking serious?
They don't bare the mirror's ass.
They don't start doing walks forhis ass.
They talking about justice for amirror's ass *** He got justice
(01:02:03):
St. justice. You don't pull no guns on no ***
*** But anyway, anyway, it took about a month for the 16 year
old to get his ass arrested in Apple Valley right?
It's in Minneapolis. So y'all see nobody said I need
a couple shows in Minneapolis. But anyway he's picked up and he
(01:02:25):
gets he gets arrested but no no no no no no no no.
He is arrested for possession ofa gun as a minor and was hit
with self-defense on the killingof a mirror.
Jeez look here I'll take my couple years and juvie because
(01:02:49):
you're getting out. They clerk said this was
self-defense. He should have shot every *** in
that car. Now how safe is he going to be
when you get out? I'd probably move but it is what
it is, a mirror. AI don't know to tell you but
your parents up there hooping and Holland talking about this
shit ain't fair bitch. Whatever, but until next time,
(01:03:14):
peace.
