On this day in 2018, in Riverview, Florida, 29-year-old Ronnie Oneal III fatally shot his girlfriend, 33-year-old Kenyatta Barron, and hacked their 9-year-old daughter, Ron'Niveya Oneal, to death with an axe. He stabbed their 8-year-old son Ronnie Oneal IV, who survived and told detectives "My father shot my mother" before being escorted to a local hospital.
During the trial in which he defended himself, Oneal stated: “Do I look like I’m insane to you? And if I don’t look insane, and if I’m able to represent myself in trial, you have to ask yourself why would a man kill his own children who he loved?”
Voices shouted out from the courtroom, “Because you’re evil.”
Oneal was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated child abuse, one count of arson, and one count of resisting a law enforcement officer. On July 23, 2021, he was given three consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, plus 90 years.
