Found Deceased NV - Amari Nicholson, 2, Las Vegas east of strip, 5 May 2021

My question then is why? Was her distrust of LE more important than the safety of her child? She's covered in bruises. She knows what this monster is capable of.....
I won't say anymore. She hasn't been accused of a crime. I just wish her choices had been different. I imagine she does too, now.

He couldn't have stopped me. I would have called LE if he tried to stand in my way.

I would have called the police too if a bf wouldnt let me take my child. Any normal person would. <modsnip> When you live like that you avoid the police 24/7. You dont call them. For anything! You just deal with it yourself. I think she probably just thought her baby would be fine and she would be back and they could go back to their lifestyle. Obviously that was a huge mistake.

I'm concerned. I'll just leave it at that.

 

[Edinlass]

Very concerned.

Has anyone pulled up TW's (confessed murderer's) past LE records?

I would be interested to know what priors he has...

JMO...

2-year-old killed by his mothers boyfriend and tonight Amari’s grandmother speaks out. She believes her daughter knew about the whole thing. Amari was her only grandchild. “Being a mom is super awesome to me, but being a grandma was even better. He melted my heart.” #8NN

I am happy to see an arrest, we all knew from the get go that the boyfriend's story was just that. I pray this lil darlin's passing was quick and he suffered little. I hope the jerk gives up what he did with Amari's body. I will keep my thoughts on Amari's mother and her affect throughout this case to myself.

I’m so angry rn there are no words. Or at least none I can post here. I’m treading carefully but this whole thing is heinous in ways I try not to dwell on. Every time I think of that sweet baby and then that raw interview plays in my head and I want to cause severe pain and suffering to the SOB that ended his life. I hope he gets prison justice from a nice new cell mate. MOO

This is a tragedy unfolding and it's painful to see.

It’s odd that he confessed but won’t tell where the body’s at..

 

[fiveducks]

Carrie Howard (Amari's grandma) stated to the press- Nicholson is Howard’s eldest daughter, and Amari was her only grandchild.

So, since this is the only grandchild and Amari's mom had a child at 12, does this make her only 15/16 years old now? If so, her "boyfriend" should be charged as a sex offender too.

And this tried to fight officers during his arrest and tried to take the officers' weapon. And, of course, the mother doesn't know anything.

Here's part of the arrest from the official LVMPD YT Site.
Officials stated that during the arrest, the suspect TR, fought with officers and during that confrontation, the suspect was able to gain access to one of the officer's guns, before the situation was deescalated.

He's lucky to be breathing.

I don't think he gave her that option. He knew she wouldn't return to him if she had her baby , out of state, at her Mom's. So he held the little guy hostage.

And when they argued on the phone, and she said someone was going to 'pull up' to get her baby and stuff'---King Pimp killed him, in defiance and a show of evil force.

I think you summed it up pretty much exactly how it happened.

 

[lonetraveler]

Watching her standing in the doorway for this video, Gramma’s child and grandchild obviously needed her help a lot more than she needed her daughter’s help after surgery.
Starting with her daughters first pregnancy at 12.

Could very well be why she bought the two tickets. Maybe she was going to try and get them to stay with her and to get her away from her pimp.

Does anyone know what happened to her first child?
