This Is Some Crazy Ish!!!An African-American football player at Wingate University in North Carolina and his wife were charged in the vicious stabbing death of his ex, a Black high school cheerleader in South Carolina.
Pernell Clayton Thompson, 20, and Yolanda Dee Thompson, 19, were being held Monday at the Union County jail, accused of killing 16-year-old Marisha Jeter, authorities said. Jeter was the junior class president, a cheerleader and honor roll student at Union County High School. Police said Thompson's wife did not like him maintaining contact with Jeter. The Thompsons were married in the summer and have a child together.
Jeter was reported missing Thursday night and her body was discovered under a bridge two days later. Her car was found torched in another county. Jeter's body was discovered by an art student who was taking photographs at the bridge in Lockhart, which is about 10 miles northeast of rural Union.
Cell phone text messages showed Jeter agreed on Thursday night to meet Thompson. "The boy and his wife killed her in the back parking lot of a YMCA," Union Public Safety Department Chief Sam White said. "He stabbed her in the neck and they loaded her in the car and took her to Lockhart."
Jeter's bright pink 1994 Toyota Celica was driven into a neighboring county and set on fire, authorities said.
A junior at Wingate, Thompson was placed on interim suspension Monday.Thompson had 22catches for 286 yards and three touchdowns last season. "Everyone's in shock at this point," Wingate football coach Joe Reich said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victim. It's just a senseless tragedy." [Source]
