Imagine it, people being gunned down doing everyday regular degular shit—pumping gas, walking into stores, cutting grass. No warning. No motive. Just mayhem. And behind this reign of terror? A pair nobody would ever think or believe could be behind this heinous rash of domestic terrorism.

This week on Melanin Mayhem, we’re digging into one of the most notorious killing sprees in American history: the sniper attacks carried out by John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo. Maybe you think you know the deal but honey there is waaayyyyy more to the story than the headlines. And your favorite country girl got all the tea.

When religion turns to manipulation and devotion becomes deadly, what’s left is a twisted legacy soaked in blood. In this episode of Love Kills X Melanin Mayhem, I'm diving into the disturbing case of Marcus Wesson—a man who called himself a prophet, ruled his household like a cult leader, and shattered the lives of everyone under his control.

Wesson’s version of “family” was built on lies, incest, isolation, and a warped form of love that ended in one of the most horrifying mass murders California has ever seen. This is the story of blind obedience, stolen innocence, and a God complex gone completely unchecked.

Tune in as we unravel the layers of manipulation, spiritual distortion, and generational trauma behind the man who blurred the lines between husband, father, uncle and grandfather...

This week on Melanin Mayhem, I'm shining a blacklight on a Navy man who was hiding straight-up diabolical tendencies behind his unform. Our mayhem maker had folks fooled—rockin’ uniforms by day and terrorizing women by night. A so-called family man, out here committing vicious rapes and murders in the streets of Oakland like it was a second job.

He caught some time in the ‘80s for a string of rapes and assaults —but it wasn’t until decades later that DNA finally brought what was done in the dark, to the light.

Another tale of a twisted sadist walking around undetected.

Strap in—this episode’s a wild one.

This week on Melanin Mayhem, we’re rolling deep into the shadows of the DMV, where a smooth-talking hobosexual used one of the most ordinary items imaginable to cover up some of the most horrific crimes. Disappearances turned into headlines, headlines into horror stories—and all roads led toa low-budget, no-conscience, discount store demon that turned a damn shopping cart into a body disposal system. With dating apps as his lure and motels as his stage, this killer managed to stay under the radar until bodies began to stack up. Get ready because it's a crazy tale of terror.

This week we are headed to New Orleans for the tale of a policewoman that said fuck the police and crashed out real bad all for a man. You won't believe this story of lust and homicide. This melanated officer of the gatdamn law killed three people for a couple dollars. Throwing away her career and her life literally. Love Kills brings you the story of Antoinette Frank and her boo Rogers LaCaze.

Alright y’all, this week we're taking it to the other side of the pond—South London, 1986. Seems like America ain't the only place were sickos have a preference for shenanigans of the sexual nature against senior citizens . Our Melanin Mayhem maker had the people shook because somebody’s dusty ass grandson was out here creeping through windows and snatching souls and booty holes like a bedtime Grim Reaper.

No alarms. No witnesses. Just silence, slippers, stiff bodies and semen stains in the morning. This audacious ass mf was in it for the thrill of the kill and to rob the victims of their dignity and a few coins. This diabolical raping, killing, sadistic criminal was pure darkness—but it wouldn't be long before all his crimes came to light.

Noir Nation, this week I bring you the story of Kenneth Erskine AKA the Stockwell Strangler.

This week we dive into the mysterious and legendary story of one of the most powerful drug kingpins of the 20th century that you’ve probably never heard of. Rising from humble beginnings, our mayhem maker built a multi-million dollar empire that stretched across the country, outsmarted law enforcement, and cut the mob out of his business. Then, in 1973, he vanished without a trace — never to be seen again. Was it a carefully planned escape, or something more sinister? Join me as we unravel the life, legacy, and lasting mystery of the man that was richer than the mob. This week I bring you the story of Frank Matthews AKA Black Caesar.

Y'all ever hear a name and immediately know that person ain't gon' be shit? That's how we kickin’ off the Love Kills series. Today we’re diving into the tragic and infuriating story of Ruby Gosha — a young woman who fell for a smooth-talking, two-bit thug with a rap sheet longer than I-75. What started as infatuation turned into a horror story full of red flags, violence, and one man's crash-out obsession that ended in senseless tragedy.
