May this guy Merrick McKoy and his baby daughter Mia McKoy-Phanthavongsa rest in peace and his baby mother Kimphone “Kim” Phanthavongsa find peace.
This is a very sad story… A word of advice to all who read this… Take seriously when you see your friends crying out for help on Facebook. They might not post in those exact words “I need help” but the signs are usually obvious especially relating to relationship issues. You might save a life.
You probably have heard in the news about this incident happened in Denver Colorado earlier this week where Merrick McKoy shot and killed his 19-month-old daughter Mia McKoy-Phanthavongsa just moments after posting a selfie and a rant on Facebook.
You can see his Facebook page Type R Merrick here.
We’ve just learned that Merrick McKoy is from Spanish Town, Jamaica and his family is in mourning right now.
A close source to his family told Urban Islandz that members of the community are in shocked right now.
“Everyone is in shock and disbelief its just really such a sad situation,” the source told us requesting anonymity. “His family and everyone who know him almost everyone is crying and asking why.”
According to reports, McKoy shot his baby girl in the head killing her on the spot and then turn the gun on himself.
McKoy, 22, and his 21-year-old baby mother Kimphone “Kim” Phanthavongsa were having a domestic dispute where he pulled the gun on her first. She escaped and ran to a neighbour and called 911.
“I told u I can’t live without u lol u thought I was joking now me n Mia out this bi–h,” McKoy wrote on Facebook before shooting his daughter.
Kim Phanthavongsa reportedly had a restraining order against him from a prior domestic dispute.
The 19-month-old baby girl had just learned to walk.
I saw this story when I lived in Colorado, it disturbed me to my core. I still haven’t forgotten it, and I hope nothing like this happens ever again. This being the world we live in though; it probably will.
So if the mother already had a restraining order why the hell did she get near him again? STUPID woman – totally – she knew he was violent but not only went around him but put her own child in front of him. Sentence her too sorry but she is responsible or this too. Neither one of them are mature enough to ever have children again. If he lives sterilize them BOTH but then again the only sex he will be getting is from Big Bubba for the rest of his life. Scum bag
Just because he was in the apartment doesn’t mean she was still living with him. He could have stalked her and broke in. You don’t know the whole story so don’t go playing judge and jury, don’t comment on whether or not she should be allowed to have kids and don’t you dare say she deserves to be punished fur something she didn’t even do. God forbid it happens to you and someone passes the same judgement
And don’t YOU dare judge me for asking a simple question either – and PS I have been through it. But I was smart enough to get away and STAY away. She kept getting back together with him and the article clearly stated “they were having a domestic dispute” and NOT that he had stalked her or broken in to her home. THEY were both participants in the dispute meaning she ALLOWED him to get close enough to her to get her and the child.
Seems to me she should’ve dated an Asian.
Why the f@ck would u RIP this selfish devil?
Another article said he lived and was in the hospital in serious condition
He is not resting in peace and he is not in Heaven with his daughter. He is burning in hell for commuting murder and the sin of suicide.
dat pu—hole fi dead all 50 times.. wicked ma’fu–a… rip lil girl…
WHAT AN IDIOT!!!! TOO BAD HE DIDNT PULL THE GUN ON HIMSELF FIRST BEFORE HE SHOT HIS INNOCENT DAUGHTER!!!!
HE KILLED HIMSELF AND HER LITTLE SELF FOR WHAT!? BECAUSE HE WAS SCHIZOPHRENIC AND NEEDED A WAY OUT?
WHO CARES IF HE IS JAMAICAN, AMERICAN, CANADIAN, GERMAN, ETC…HIS DAUGHTER WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE LIFE BECAUSE HE IS A SELFISH HUMAN BEING.
The same way his nationality shouldn’t be brought into this is the same way the word “schizophrenic” shouldn’t be brought into this either. If you don’t know the true meaning of schizophrenia, please don’t use it.
relationship are serious
I am friends with one of his cousins and she is crying right now. This is so sad. R.I.P. Type R Merrick and Nia.
I thought he lived? Hopefully he did die too – nothing less is acceptable for a scum bag like him
