The Monsters Among Us: 16 Year Old’s Grisly Killing A Painful Reminder Of Heinous Black On Black Violence

At age sixteen life is suppose to be enjoyable, fun filled, and with many kids rapidly developing and growing closer to the threshold of adulthood they become more vulnerable on the streets of major urban settings like Baltimore Maryland. Unfortunately, during these modern times the landscape for young people in our society has transformed into an extremely hazardous pathway for this generation to travel, and there also appears to be monsters lurking at every turn with the potential of harm befalling upon our children without warning. The story of 16-year-old Arnesha Bowers who was brutally and savagely murdered in her Northeast Baltimore home she shared with her grandmother, is perhaps textbook on describing the very nature of evil that my perspective describes related to the safety of young people in this country.

The onset of gang related violence on the streets of many cities in this country appear to be a growing epidemic in which many innocent victims may fall prey. Known for their sickening and violent codes of honor, and initiation tactics, gangs regularly command recruits and members alike, to carry out senseless violent acts upon complete strangers in an effort to establish so called loyalty to sets of organized street gangs, who are often responsible for a volume of other criminal activities that permeate the streets of this country. In the Bowers youth homicide, Baltimore police say that the Tree Top Piru Bloods gang (a sub set of the brutal Bloods gang) were responsible for her killing as part of an initiation process for a 14-year-old, and to elevate the gang member ranking of another suspect.

According to police reports, three black males (including a 14-year-old) Adonay Dixon (23), John Childs (20), and a minor Raeshawn Rivers (14), were allegedly responsible for the young girl’s killing. Bowers had apparently been hanging out with the males at a party a couple of nights prior to the horrific incident, and authorities believe that the child may not have had any knowledge of the male’s affiliation with a violent subset of the murderous “Bloods” street gang. On June 6, 2015 the Baltimore Fire Department were dispatched to the girl’s residence, which was engulfed with flames upon their arrival, in the Westfield section of Northeast Baltimore. Fire fighters discovered the body of a young female, that was later identified as the young Bowers teen.

Police investigators said they received unprecedented cooperation from neighbors in the community almost instantly upon their arrival. Dixon and Childs were implicated in the girl’s killing, and investigative interviews with Childs allegedly revealed a confession of his involvement in the little girl’s killing. Police statements disclosed Childs had allegedly revealed to investigators that he and Dixon planned to rob Bowers’ home. They said Bowers had been spending time with Childs and Dixon at Childs’ apartment building. After Bowers’ grandmother picked her up one day, according to police, Dixon followed the car home on a bike. Once he knew where Bowers lived, he returned with Childs to carry out their robbery plan.

Police Criminal Investigation reports describe how the pair believed that valuables would be in the home, because Bowers’ grandmother was employed and owned two vehicles. While the grandmother was at work, the males planned to break into the property and steal valuables, because they knew the young Bowers teen would be home alone., and if Bowers were to awaken they allegedly planned for Dixon to put the girl in a choke hold. After entering the home through a basement window, Bowers awoke, and Dixon Allegedly dragged the child into the basement while Childs ransacked the house, stealing money from a purse and a safe.

 

Cowards

Left to right: John Childs (20) and Adonay Dixon (23) are both charged with the brutal slaying of a 16-year-old Baltimore girl.

 

Medical Examiner reports reveal that Arnesha Bowers had been sexually assaulted, strangled to death, had her genitalia mutilated in a failed attempt to conceal that she had been raped, and subsequently set on fire. The criminal acts were so heinous and of such a heartless nature that police described the suspects as “pure evil.” Even police Commissioner Batts called the suspects, “Killers! Sixteen-year-old, innocent teenager. … Nothing is more important than tracking down and jailing cowards who take the life of an innocent child. Nothing.” During Childs’ confession, he allegedly told police that Dixon and Bowers were in the basement for 30 minutes. Childs also told detectives that Dixon came up stairs and allegedly said “we have to leave, because the house is on fire.” Dixon allegedly told Childs that Bowers was dead, according to police reports.

This is an extremely brutal crime that lacks any comprehension whatsoever, and to think that these two adult males were hanging out with this child, and then turning into what can only be described as “Jeckle & Hyde” resulting in her murder, is difficult to fully grasp, chilling, and an irreprehensible act of cruelty exacted upon an innocent child by cowardly monsters. After Childs’ confession he was arrested and charged with first degree murder. Dixon was arrested hours later and also charged with murder. Phone records reveal that Bowers’ cell had called Dixons’ cellphone a short time before her murder. Sources in Baltimore tell TPC that the Childs male had initially told police that Dixon sexually assaulted the girl, but evidence disclosed both males had raped the girl. Either way, regardless who actually committed the raping or killing of this little girl, their very presence at the crime scene suggest that they both acted in harmony during the commission of felony crimes, including capitol murder, and based on Maryland law they would be individually charged with all crimes committed during this extremely heinous and brutal murder.

Police officials also arrested and charged a third suspect in the case a short time later. Raeshawn Rivers (14) a juvenile was closely affiliated with the Bowers teen. In fact, cops say that Bowers was very fond and thought highly of the Rivers youth. He was arrested, charged as an adult, and will face 22 additional charges in the case. Police have yet to describe the juvenile’s role in the robbery and killing of Bowers, but did reveal that he had been hanging out with Childs, Dixon, and Bowers, a few hours before her killing. Rivers confessed to police that he had used the murdered girl’s cellphone after she was killed, and even sent text messages to her friends to through off police. Authorities say all of the suspects allegedly admitted the Bowers’ killing was all apart of a gang initiation process.

The male suspects only scored $40 dollars in cash, an Ipad, and a laptop in the home invasion robbery. The items are mere crumbs in comparison to the life of such a beautiful and precious little girl, that these creeps snatched senselessly from this world. Arnesha Bowers was a sixteen year old 11th grader at Baltimore’s City College, one of the best academic schools in the city. Her death though tragic, speaks of cowardice, and it’s a shame that young girls are often lured to the likes of violent street thugs who only intentions are to cause disruption, and grief to communities all over the nation. The head of Baltimore’s homicide unit Major Stanley Bradford said “the motive was pure evil. Can you imagine leaving your child at home and two people come into her house hell-bent on death and destruction? I can only imagine what the last moments of Arnesha’s life was like. It must have been pure hell.” The crimes committed by these young black men are simply sickening, and the black community must collectively condemn these cowards for what they are. They deserve to pay the ultimate price for the life of this innocent child, and should be put to death.
