Man Kills Girlfriend, Throws Newborn Into River in Memphis

A Memphis man has confessed to a shocking crime that has left the community in grief and disbelief.

Police say Brandon lured his girlfriend to a secluded spot, asking her to bring their 2-day-old baby, Kennedy. When she arrived, he fatally shot her before carrying out an unthinkable act — throwing the newborn into the Mississippi River.

Despite an intensive search, the infant’s body was never recovered. Authorities believe the alligator-infested waters made the chances of recovery slim.

During interrogation, Brandon chillingly admitted his motive: he “didn’t want a baby.” His confession has since sparked outrage and deep sorrow, with many calling the case one of the most disturbing crimes Memphis has seen in recent years.

Community leaders and residents have expressed heartbreak, mourning the loss of both mother and child. Advocates are also using the tragedy to shed light on domestic violence and the importance of protecting vulnerable women and children in toxic relationships.

As the investigation continues, the memory of baby Kennedy and her mother serves as a painful reminder of the devastating consequences of unchecked violence.
