| Lashonda Moye |
I’ve been spending the last couple hours cruising the
infamous “interwebbins”, playing An Innocent Man in the background so there’s
some noise in this place, trying to decide what story to write up. I’m one
person here, if I had the attention span to bust out 5 shit awful, half-assed
stories, I would, but I only have enough drive in me right now to barely churn
out one shit awful, half-assed story. This one comes to us from Houston,
Texas and why wouldn’t a terrible story come from the state where the biggest
assholes I’ve ever crossed paths with are from? I came across this tale while
looking something else up and it occurred to me to type three words into the
search bar. Missing, child and found. I had been hoping maybe there would be some
good news in this search, but unfortunately there wasn’t much. I chose this
case because while it isn’t great news, there’s some crazy shit going on and in
the end a child was found, alive, safe and sound.
At around 3:15 am on Monday, police received a frantic call
saying someone was trying to break into the caller’s home. The call ended abruptly
and dispatchers called back, but no one answered. So officers head out to the
address the call was placed from to investigate and what they found was the
body of 37-year-old Lashonda Moye in a bathtub. Also in the tub, was Moye’s boyfriend,
Nathan Mitchell, and both only partially dressed and sitting in water. Mitchell
was rushed to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Officers said
there were no signs of forced entry and neither Moye nor Mitchell had any
obvious wounds. Once Mitchell is able,
police plan on questioning him. Police believe he is the one who placed the 911
call and since he’s the only who made it out of that tub alive, he’s pretty
much the only one they can get any information from.

| Mekhi Coleman |
So where does the kid come into play? Moye’s 7-year-old son,
Mekhi Coleman, was missing from the scene. Thankfully, police were able to
track him down to his grandmother’s house, where he had gone to spend the weekend.
He wasn’t in the home when whatever the hell went down happened, so he was at
least spared that, but now he’s without his mother. Neighbors said the family
never caused any trouble and were quiet. The disturbing news of what had
happened surprised them and left some neighbors stunned. One neighbor, Beth
Pagio, said, "I’m totally shocked right now, it’s just right next door to
me and I didn’t even know it was going on.”
I’d still like to know what the fuck went on. The whole
situation is extremely strange. Were people really trying to break in or was
this some kind of made up bullshit by the boyfriend to off Lashonda Moye?
Crazier things have happened and I’ve come across even more farfetched sounding
stories than that, which later turned out to be the actual story. So who knows,
other than Nathan Mitchell, and police haven’t been able to ask him yet.
Investigators are also waiting on autopsy results to find out how exactly Moye
died. I’m glad the kid was found okay and hope he’s alright with
whoever he’s been placed with. It’s sad that this boy has lost his mom, who a
co-worker described as a “real good lady” who was “always good to her kids.” I
didn’t find anything on any other children in the home, so maybe dude
interviewed just misspoke? I don’t know, but I’d really like to find out what
the hell happened and why this little boy is now without his mom.
