911 call from shooting witness sees rampage after Ohio dad shoots sons
A man across the street from where an Ohio dad allegedly executed his three sons told dispatchers he could see children shot.
An Ohio girl, 17, accused of killing her 33-year-old boyfriend's mother with a rock in May, appeared in court for the first time Friday, according to local news.
Kaitlyn Coones allegedly killed Jonathan Jones' 53-year-old mother, Nicole Jones, inside the woman's Sylvania Township home — only after she gave him an ultimatum to do it himself, prosecutors revealed for the first time on Nov. 17.
"Kaitlyn had told Jonathan that they needed to do something about his mother because she was preventing them from being together," Sylvania Township Detective Albright said of his interview with Coones, according to Cleveland 19.
Investigators believe the 17-year-old foster child had been living in Jonathan's room in his mother's house before the murder, Cleveland 19 reported.

Prosecutors said Coones would climb in through Jonathan's bedroom window so that his mother would not know she was living in her house.
On the day of Nicole's murder, Coones allegedly gave her boyfriend five hours to kill his mother himself. After five hours had passed, she gave him another hour before allegedly taking the crime into her own hands, ABC 13 reported.

The suspects then allegedly purchased trash bags and a tarp, which they used to wrap Nicole's body, and cleaned up the crime scene before traveling to a nearby apartment building, where they discarded the victim's body in a dumpster. Investigators reportedly do not believe her body will ever be recovered, according to ABC 13.
