Man Who Killed Usher’s Stepson is Found Guilty

The man responsible for the death of Usher’s stepson Kile Glover was found guilty in a Georgia courtroom today.

According to reports, Jeffrey Hubbard was convicted on five counts of homicide by vessel, reckless operation and unlawful operation of a personal watercraft.

You may recall the tragic accident. Hubbard was riding a jet ski when he hit the 11-year-old, who was being towed on an inner tube, at Lake Lanier in 2012. He also left another teen severely injured. His attorneys argued that crash was an accident and not linked to recklessness.

Glover, the biological son of Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Raymond, was vacationing with his father Ryan Glover at the time of the accident. He suffered from serious head injuries and a little more than two weeks after the crash he was removed from life support. He was laid to rest on July 27, 2012 amongst family, friends and many members of Atlanta’s music community.

Tameka recently started a foundation to honor her son’s memory.

California Man Confesses to Killing One Man, then Confessed to 30 more Murders

Police Quote: “Killing people doesn’t seem to affect him.”

Investigators thought Jose Martinez may have had something to do with the shooting of an Alabama man, found dead by hunters on a forest’s edge.

Little did they know.

The 52-year-old Californian confessed to pulling the trigger in that March killing, the Lawrence County, Alabama, Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday. He didn’t stop there: Martinez also admitted killing more than 30 men in all, much like he did Jose Ruiz.

“Killing people doesn’t seem to affect him,” sheriff’s Capt. Tim McWhorder said.

As of Thursday, authorities had identified 13 violent deaths linked to Martinez since his admission. At least 10 of those occurred in California, according to McWhorder.

He’s also been tied — by a DNA match to a cigarette butt found inside a victims’ truck — to a 2006 double homicide in Ocala, Florida, the Marion County, Florida, Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday.

Martinez explained that his record of violence has to do with his job as an enforcer for Mexican drug cartels. A U.S. citizen, he’d be called when someone hadn’t lived up to their obligations.

As he told investigators, “I’m the guy that pays you a visit if you don’t pay.”
