00:00:00.000 Hi folks, I am the Shameless Berg.
00:00:01.980 Hope you're doing well today.
00:00:03.280 So for this Black Crimes Matter,
00:00:06.180 I wanna go and look at the case of four-year-old Cash Gurnon.
00:00:09.900 This happened back in May of 2021.
00:00:13.640 So I've got a couple of articles together
00:00:15.200 and I'm also going to include some footage from the incident.
00:00:18.020 You know, not actual violent footage,
00:00:19.640 but it's gonna be footage from the abduction.
00:00:22.420 So this headline reads,
00:00:23.740 Dallas four-year-old Cash Gurnon killing.
00:00:26.900 No murder charges filed.
00:00:28.320 A child kidnapping suspect held on $1.5 million bond.
00:00:32.000 Darian Ronald Brown, 18, held on abduction.
00:00:35.920 Burglary charges after a sleeping child lifted from his bed.
00:00:38.680 Law enforcement officials have yet to charge anyone with murder
00:00:41.340 in the death of four-year-old Cash Gurnon
00:00:43.480 four days after his bloodied body
00:00:45.200 was found in the early morning hours by a jogger.
00:00:48.080 Some of you all remember the jogger meme.
00:00:50.420 By a jogger passing through a Dallas, Texas neighborhood.
00:00:53.360 One suspect, 18-year-old Darian Ronald Brown,
00:00:56.940 remains jailed on a $1.5 million bond
00:00:59.740 since his arrest late Saturday on kidnapping and burglary charges.
00:01:03.940 Cash was asleep around 5 a.m. Saturday
00:01:06.280 when a person was seen in home surveillance camera footage
00:01:09.120 lifting the child out of his bed at a home
00:01:11.120 in the 7,500 block of Florina Parkway
00:01:14.180 before carrying him away, according to an arrest affidavit.
00:01:17.740 Cash and his twin brother were staying at the home
00:01:20.220 owned by their biological father's ex-girlfriend, Monica Sherrod.
00:01:23.700 She had not been able to get into contact with the boy's father since March
00:01:27.220 when he left his sons in her care.
00:01:29.400 Court documents said Sherrod was the one to identify Brown
00:01:32.340 in the surveillance footage watched together with investigators,
00:01:35.920 but the connection Brown has to the family remains unclear.
00:01:39.080 Brown and Sherrod's 18-year-old son, Cameron Morey,
00:01:42.260 reportedly attended Duncanville High School together
00:01:45.300 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area,
00:01:47.040 but it's unclear whether the two were friends.
00:01:49.260 Morey said he viewed Cash as another younger brother.
00:01:51.760 The sweetest little boy, Morey, who lives with his mother
00:01:54.460 in the same home where Cash was staying,
00:01:56.380 told Fox 4 Dallas about the boy and their care.
00:01:59.340 He loved everybody, the biggest smile ever.
00:02:01.500 He loved to play superheroes with us and all that.
00:02:03.800 Isn't it always like that?
00:02:05.040 I mean, these kids, you know, they light up a room,
00:02:07.340 but they're the ones that end up having this done to them.
00:02:09.640 It's ridiculous.
00:02:11.040 Morey's and Brown's family homes are located within a half mile
00:02:14.260 from where Cash's body was found,
00:02:16.480 the Dallas Morning News reported.
00:02:18.040 Morey said he had seen Brown in passing just five days earlier.
00:02:21.340 Just like, hey, you know, how y'all doing, you know?
00:02:23.800 And that was it, Morey told Fox 4,
00:02:25.920 describing the exchange with Brown.
00:02:27.460 There's no reason for this.
00:02:28.520 What did he, what he did was wrong,
00:02:30.080 and I don't know what made him think that this is all right
00:02:32.600 and this is okay.
00:02:33.460 This is a four-year-old kid, bruh.
00:02:35.040 Like, for what?
00:02:36.840 Like, why?
00:02:37.620 He was four, you know?
00:02:38.760 Who does this to a four-year-old kid?
00:02:43.280 I got quite a few, quite a few stories
00:02:45.460 about who does this to four-year-old kids.
00:02:47.200 Morey also told KXAS-TV in an on-camera interview
00:02:51.700 outside the playhouse, or outside the home.
00:02:54.040 For what?
00:02:54.580 For no reason.
00:02:55.240 Just because you want to be evil?
00:02:57.500 Cash is believed to have been killed with an edged weapon,
00:03:00.260 police said.
00:03:00.860 No motive has been identified,
00:03:02.280 and police said additional charges could come against Brown,
00:03:04.660 as forensic evidence is still being analyzed.
00:03:07.000 Sherrod reported Cash missing around 11 a.m. Saturday,
00:03:09.680 but Cash's then unidentified body
00:03:11.900 had already been discovered hours earlier,
00:03:13.900 around 7 a.m., just eight blocks away.
00:03:15.780 Antoinise Square said she...
00:03:17.820 Okay.
00:03:20.400 Antoinise Square.
00:03:22.620 Yeah, she really is a jogger, huh?
00:03:24.380 Said she was jogging through the Mountain Creek area neighborhood
00:03:26.860 and first thought she saw a dog in the street
00:03:29.220 in the 7,500 block Saddle Ridge Drive.
00:03:31.700 As she got closer, the woman realized
00:03:33.460 it was the boy's lifeless body she found lying in a pool of blood.
00:03:36.980 Police declined to provide any updates
00:03:38.620 about the potential for murder charges to Fox News Tuesday,
00:03:41.660 instead referring to a blog page
00:03:43.480 last updated Monday at 4 p.m.
00:03:45.360 Brown's court-appointed defense attorney,
00:03:47.360 Robbie McClung, told Fox News on Tuesday
00:03:50.020 that it was, quote-unquote,
00:03:51.380 too soon for her to comment at this time.
00:03:53.420 Maury's two biological underage teenage brothers,
00:03:56.400 as well as Cash's twin four-year-old brother,
00:03:59.140 have since been removed from the home
00:04:00.640 by Child Protective Services, KXAS-TV reported.
00:04:04.080 Cash's twin brother has been reunited
00:04:06.020 with their biological mother, Melinda Seagroves.
00:04:08.960 Police said Seagroves and her mother
00:04:10.420 and the boy's grandmother, Connie Ward,
00:04:12.080 had been conducting a search for the twins,
00:04:14.040 quote-unquote, for an extended amount of time.
00:04:16.120 Seagroves was unaware the boy's father
00:04:18.520 had placed them in Sherrod's care.
00:04:20.260 Brown's mother, Mimi Brown,
00:04:21.720 told the Dallas Morning News outside her home
00:04:23.620 that she believed her son had been framed,
00:04:26.040 as he has several young cousins
00:04:27.660 he helps take care of and wouldn't harm.
00:04:29.580 He ain't did nothing.
00:04:31.740 Darian is very kind, she said.
00:04:33.640 I feel like he's being framed.
00:04:36.220 She said her son is a patient at MetroCare Services,
00:04:38.720 which provides mental health care
00:04:39.980 to children and adults, according to the outlet.
00:04:42.760 I know my son is traumatized,
00:04:44.720 Mimi Brown added.
00:04:45.580 I know he's scared, because I'm scared.
00:04:47.540 Yeah.
00:04:49.740 So his death was ruled a homicide,
00:04:52.380 though no murder charges have been filed
00:04:53.920 against alleged kidnapper.
00:04:55.220 Um, so yeah, this headline reads,
00:04:57.480 Dallas four-year-old Cash Gernon's death
00:04:59.140 caused by multiple stab wounds.
00:05:00.740 So the four-year-old boy who was kidnapped from his bed
00:05:03.080 and whose lifeless body was found hours later
00:05:05.020 on a Dallas, Texas street,
00:05:06.760 died as a result of multiple stab wounds,
00:05:08.780 according to a local report.
00:05:10.180 The Dallas County Medical Examiner
00:05:11.780 determined Cash Gernon's death
00:05:13.100 was a homicide as a result of the wounds.
00:05:15.720 Local news station CBS DFW reported
00:05:18.520 a spokesperson from the medical examiner's office
00:05:21.240 could not be reached by Fox News on Friday.
00:05:23.080 Cash was being taken care of
00:05:24.480 by his father's girlfriend
00:05:25.340 at the time of the kidnapping,
00:05:26.460 police said the woman said Cash's father
00:05:28.240 had been absent since March.
00:05:29.880 Yeah, so surveillance footage from the home
00:05:31.520 where the boy was staying
00:05:32.660 shows the suspect,
00:05:33.980 who the woman identified as
00:05:35.260 18-year-old Darian Brown,
00:05:36.740 taking Cash from his crib
00:05:37.980 and carrying him away from the camera's view,
00:05:40.220 according to the detective's arrest
00:05:42.180 affidavit obtained by the Dallas Morning News.
00:05:45.380 The affidavit does not detail
00:05:46.900 Brown's relationship to Cash's family
00:05:48.720 or offer any explanation for Brown taking Cash.
00:05:51.280 Brown is being held on charges
00:05:52.660 of kidnapping burglary.
00:05:54.100 The girlfriend called police
00:05:54.980 shortly before 11 a.m. Saturday
00:05:56.980 to say Cash was missing.
00:05:58.400 Meanwhile, police had found the boy dead
00:06:00.060 around 6.50 a.m.,
00:06:01.440 about a half mile from her home.
00:06:02.980 Assistant Police Chief Albert Martinez
00:06:04.980 has said it appeared the child suffered
00:06:06.900 a violent death
00:06:07.640 and that an edged weapon was used.
00:06:09.520 Okay, here we have
00:06:10.320 Caretaker of Texas Voice Nash
00:06:12.140 while sleeping has left bedroom untouched.
00:06:14.960 I know I have to confront this.
00:06:16.640 I haven't been able to do this until now,
00:06:18.420 the woman who cared for the toddler said.
00:06:20.020 So yeah, so she's just talking about
00:06:22.420 how she hadn't touched the room
00:06:24.180 since this whole incident occurred.
00:06:25.920 I'm wondering why we didn't hear him break in,
00:06:27.740 she said.
00:06:28.160 The day that he was missing,
00:06:29.220 I got up late and thought it was weird.
00:06:30.520 It was like,
00:06:31.060 it's 10 o'clock already, you guys,
00:06:32.480 so I figured Cash was still in bed.
00:06:34.320 Cash's brother replied,
00:06:35.460 he went outside, she said.
00:06:36.720 She then screamed,
00:06:37.480 Cash, if you're hiding from mommy,
00:06:38.640 it's not funny anymore.
00:06:39.700 Come out, it's time for breakfast.
00:06:40.960 He wouldn't answer.
00:06:41.780 As reports of a body being discovered
00:06:43.200 a half mile away began to circulate,
00:06:44.860 Sherrod said she refused to believe
00:06:46.240 it was her toddler.
00:06:47.160 I was crying and confused
00:06:48.200 and in a million pieces
00:06:49.160 and praying they would still find Cash
00:06:51.000 and that that little boy wasn't Cash,
00:06:52.680 she said.
00:06:53.160 I kept telling my daughter,
00:06:54.920 that's not Cash.
00:06:55.800 The jogger who found Cash,
00:06:57.460 Antoinette Square,
00:06:58.320 told a Daily Mail
00:06:58.980 she initially thought
00:06:59.780 she stumbled upon a dog
00:07:00.980 before taking a closer look
00:07:02.180 and calling 911.
00:07:03.340 He was only wearing
00:07:04.100 a pair of bottomed shorts,
00:07:06.140 Square said.
00:07:06.780 I just keep remembering
00:07:07.860 those ants at the bottom
00:07:08.900 of that baby's feet.
00:07:09.960 Brown was an acquaintance
00:07:10.820 of one of her sons
00:07:11.620 and had visited the home
00:07:12.580 two days earlier
00:07:13.280 and interacted with Cash,
00:07:14.520 which angered her, she said.
00:07:15.740 She also disputed claims
00:07:16.980 that the boy's biological mother
00:07:18.380 had made efforts to search for them
00:07:20.000 after their father disappeared.
00:07:21.300 On Monday,
00:07:22.040 Sherrod and her parents
00:07:22.980 visited a makeshift shrine
00:07:24.560 for the boy
00:07:25.100 where they laid down
00:07:25.760 a toy dinosaur.
00:07:26.780 It was his favorite toy.
00:07:27.760 He loved that toy, she said.
00:07:29.020 He had a bunch of cars
00:07:29.820 and put them around the dinosaur
00:07:30.920 and said,
00:07:31.440 Look, Mom,
00:07:31.860 I made a monster truck.
00:07:33.060 Aww.
00:07:33.880 I hadn't actually read this before.
00:07:35.080 That was a little touching.
00:07:35.980 Brown is being held
00:07:36.660 on $1.5 million bail
00:07:38.300 and faces kidnapping
00:07:39.240 and theft charges.
00:07:40.180 Additional charges
00:07:40.900 are expected
00:07:41.420 pending for forensic test results.
00:07:43.120 So in another article,
00:07:44.180 and I'm not going to read it here
00:07:45.180 because, you know,
00:07:45.920 there's no point
00:07:46.420 in getting into it,
00:07:47.260 but he ended up being
00:07:48.580 declared incompetent
00:07:49.940 to stay in trial.
00:07:50.620 Of course.
00:07:51.640 You know,
00:07:52.200 real justice,
00:07:52.900 will it be served?
00:07:53.600 No.
00:07:53.840 Will he be remembered?
00:07:55.060 No.
00:07:55.580 No.
00:07:56.040 In order for him
00:07:57.940 to be remembered,
00:07:58.600 he would have to
00:07:59.300 be black,
00:08:00.260 be fully grown,
00:08:01.160 have a rap sheet,
00:08:02.080 hold a pregnant woman
00:08:02.960 up at gunpoint,
00:08:04.200 use counterfeit cash,
00:08:06.000 swallow his stashes
00:08:06.680 at police encounters,
00:08:07.900 and overdose himself
00:08:09.360 under a cop's knee.
00:08:10.660 Then,
00:08:11.600 then he'd be worth remembering.
00:08:13.260 But as it is,
00:08:13.920 he was just a boy
00:08:14.500 being snatched out of his crib
00:08:15.840 and just taken off
00:08:17.260 and just killed
00:08:17.940 for no reason at all.
00:08:19.080 And that's just not
00:08:19.960 worth remembering, right?
00:08:21.180 I hate to invoke the
00:08:22.280 imagine if the shoe
00:08:23.380 is on the other foot
00:08:24.300 or if the roles were reversed.
00:08:25.920 You'd never hear the end of it.
00:08:27.060 You will hear George Floyd
00:08:28.400 over and over and over again.
00:08:30.140 Ahmaud Arbery,
00:08:30.980 Trayvon Martin,
00:08:31.840 George Floyd,
00:08:32.680 say their names,
00:08:33.920 ACAB,
00:08:34.600 la la la la.
00:08:35.420 And it will just never end.
00:08:37.060 But little boys
00:08:37.960 like Cash Gurnan
00:08:38.760 who just get,
00:08:39.720 you know,
00:08:40.320 snatched out of their bed
00:08:41.260 while they're sleeping,
00:08:42.220 taken out
00:08:43.220 and just stabbed to death.
00:08:44.420 Yeah.
00:08:46.640 Not even worth talking about,
00:08:47.640 I guess.
00:08:48.280 You know?
00:08:49.240 Let's just make sure
00:08:50.020 that we keep paying attention
00:08:50.940 to all the black grievances.
00:08:52.500 Let's make sure
00:08:52.980 that we hyper-focus on,
00:08:54.880 you know,
00:08:55.980 a handful of particular cases
00:08:57.560 where,
00:08:58.280 generally speaking,
00:08:59.180 the person that they're grieving,
00:09:00.620 it's their fault.
00:09:02.140 You know,
00:09:02.520 if they hadn't resisted arrest,
00:09:03.800 if they hadn't acted a fool,
00:09:05.320 if they hadn't done
00:09:05.920 a bunch of dumb shit,
00:09:07.160 they'd probably still be alive.
00:09:09.180 But instead,
00:09:10.000 they do all that dumb shit.
00:09:11.480 They get killed.
00:09:12.120 Then they become a martyr.
00:09:13.600 They'll be remembered.
00:09:14.420 And people like Cash won't.
00:09:15.920 So we need to remember him.
00:09:17.280 Because that's fucked up.
00:09:18.540 I see no reason
00:09:19.440 to care about black grievances.
00:09:20.840 I mean,
00:09:21.100 you look at this stuff,
00:09:22.160 even one of these incidents,
00:09:23.880 and the fact that
00:09:24.500 it gets swept aside,
00:09:26.040 it gets memory-holed,
00:09:27.440 while we're constantly
00:09:28.440 reminded about
00:09:29.120 George Floyd,
00:09:29.880 George Floyd.
00:09:30.620 It's just,
00:09:31.460 I don't care.
00:09:32.820 I don't care about
00:09:33.340 black grievances
00:09:33.980 and neither should you.
00:09:35.080 Neither should you.
00:09:35.700 We have our own problems.
00:09:36.920 And we have lots of problems.
00:09:39.480 And they're the cause
00:09:40.540 of a lot of those problems.
00:09:42.520 So don't let them
00:09:43.480 grow beat you.
00:09:44.120 And shame you.
00:09:44.840 And act like everything
00:09:45.500 is your fault.
00:09:46.640 And oh look,
00:09:47.260 woe is me.
00:09:47.920 Look at George Floyd.
00:09:49.040 Woe is me.
00:09:49.720 Ahmaud Arbery.
00:09:50.540 Trayvon Martin.
00:09:51.440 Da da da da da da.
00:09:52.800 Woe is me.
00:09:53.620 Say their names.
00:09:54.460 BLN.
00:09:55.120 Blah blah blah.
00:09:56.120 Yeah.
00:09:57.020 I don't give a damn
00:09:57.960 about that shit.
00:09:59.980 Um.
00:10:00.340 And it's because of stuff
00:10:02.280 like this.
00:10:03.100 Because of stuff like this.
00:10:04.140 So just remember that
00:10:04.920 next time they cry
00:10:05.660 their crocodile tears
00:10:06.760 and you feel tempted
00:10:07.760 to give a damn,
00:10:08.660 just don't.
00:10:09.380 Don't.
00:10:09.820 Because they don't
00:10:10.400 give a damn.
00:10:10.980 Society collectively
00:10:11.840 doesn't give a damn
00:10:12.680 about what happens
00:10:14.100 to our people,
00:10:14.840 what happens to our children.
00:10:16.060 So if the world's
00:10:16.700 gonna forget them,
00:10:17.320 we're not.
00:10:17.820 Okay?
00:10:18.220 Let's remember him.
00:10:19.220 Take a moment.
00:10:19.980 Remember him.
00:10:20.980 Remember all the other
00:10:21.780 children that are being
00:10:22.540 taken from us
00:10:23.260 by them.
00:10:23.720 and
00:10:26.660 they're being
00:10:28.640 hushed hushed
00:10:29.460 and not talked about
00:10:31.600 and not constantly
00:10:33.320 thrown in your face.
00:10:35.800 Statues are not
00:10:36.600 erected in their honor.
00:10:37.660 There are not murals.
00:10:39.060 There are not rallies
00:10:40.260 and marches.
00:10:41.020 There are not burning cities.
00:10:42.520 There's not moral outrage.
00:10:44.220 You don't have
00:10:44.980 powers and dignitaries
00:10:46.840 all over the world
00:10:47.700 on TV
00:10:48.500 vomiting out their
00:10:50.300 sympathies.
00:10:51.520 No one cares.
00:10:52.420 Just no one cares.
00:10:53.100 So we have to care.
00:10:54.220 No one cares
00:10:54.820 about cash
00:10:55.980 just like
00:10:56.640 non-whites don't care
00:10:57.600 about whites
00:10:58.180 in general.
00:10:59.300 No one cares.
00:11:00.300 Nobody's gonna be there
00:11:01.140 for us.
00:11:01.940 Nobody's gonna be there
00:11:02.820 for people like cash
00:11:04.080 if it's not for us.
00:11:04.920 Nobody's gonna be there
00:11:05.680 for us if we don't
00:11:06.560 stand up for ourselves
00:11:07.400 and we're gonna have to.
00:11:08.840 We're gonna have to
00:11:09.700 because this is
00:11:10.620 happening to our children
00:11:11.580 and
00:11:12.420 you don't hear a peep.
00:11:14.540 We all forget.
00:11:15.660 Like it just
00:11:16.140 doesn't matter.
00:11:17.040 Well folks,
00:11:17.780 I appreciate your support.
00:11:19.280 I appreciate you
00:11:19.880 listening in.
00:11:20.660 You guys take care.
