ANTM Contestant Tiffany Richardson's Son Loses His Life in Botched Robbery


Tiffany Richardson, who was famously scolded by Tyra Banks on 'America's Next Top Model' cycle 4 in the, "We were all rooting for you! rant,' has lost her son in a botched Pokemon card heist...

From The Sun
America's Next Top Model star Tiffany Richardson, who fought with host Tyra Banks in an infamous scene, suffered an unspeakable tragedy when her son was shot and killed at a GameStop in Florida.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively report that the 42-year-old former reality star's son Chadrick Coats died during an alleged failed robbery in Pembroke Pines on October 17, 2023. He was just 21 years old.
According to the police report obtained by The U.S. Sun, GameStop manager and former Marine Derrick Guerrero spotted Coats grabbing $600 in Pokemon trading cards and booster packs from behind the counter then running out of the store.
Guerrero told cops he fired a "warning shot," but mistakenly hit Coats in the back and chest.
Coats allegedly screamed and ran to his truck, where his girlfriend was waiting for him. She called 911.
He was rushed to the hospital, and pronounced dead three hours later.
The Miami college student was unarmed during the incident, police confirmed.
Guerrero was charged with first-degree manslaughter, and booked into jail. He posted bond and was released three days later.
"I’m really sorry for the family. I didn’t mean for any of this to happen to the family. It wasn’t my intention," Guerrero told reporters as he left jail, according to NBC Miami.
"I'm extremely sorry for the family."
According to county court records obtained by The U.S. Sun, he pleaded not guilty, and the case is ongoing.
He recently filed documents to be granted more freedom while on house arrest, including allowance to attend school and family events for his two young children. The request was denied.
Guerrero will return to court in July to give a deposition.

I never complain how snitch does the write up but I did not expect this from how the title read I thought someone was trying to rob her son and they shot him whole time he was stealing and got shot while doing so come on snitch

@ Jcee...Snitch is not to be held responsible for our train of thoughts. The title held true to the article. The date of the crime is more problematic for me. This happened a year and a half ago, lol.

You can't make a youthful mistake like that as a Black man.

Do not break the law black people because it is truly a miracle if you do not get killed.
