pickens

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Police in Ohio say a woman shot her cousin to death during an argument that started because one woman didn’t think the other was dressed properly for Easter dinner.

Columbus police Officer Jean Holmes said in court Tuesday that the leg-baring shorts worn by 19-year-old Danielle Pickens sparked a verbal and physical confrontation with 42-year-old Evelyn Burgess on Sunday at Burgess’ home.

Police say Pickens walked outside to leave and Burgess shot her in the head with a handgun. Pickens died at a hospital early Monday.

Burgess is charged with one count of murder. During her initial court appearance Tuesday, Franklin County Municipal Court Judge William Pollitt set bond at $500,000.

There was no immediate comment from Burgess’ public defender.

    OMG! Very sad and very alarming. First of all look @ that address. And what is going on with people today that they can’t seem to control their anger. We all at one time or another thought or even said “I could just kill you!” What happened to that line between thought and action? What is happening to people? Could it be in the food, or maybe the air, or is it the economy? Whatever it is it needs to be looked into. Needless to say there is no excuse for such violence.

    @ racport… It truly is crazy. You’re right, people don’t seem to have the moment of rational, logical thinking between the time a thought crosses their mind and when they act on it. Self-control is so sadly missing in many people these days, especially us as Black people. Think about all the crimes that you hear about and you’ll notice a distinct difference between the murders that Blacks commit as opposed to Whites. Black people seem to commit spur of the moment crimes of passion, sparked by anger, jealousy or some other out of control emotion. Most White people kill in a cold, calculated, planned fashion. And usually money is at the root of it, whether it be for insurance, divorce, getting rid of a business partner, etc… I don’t see how this situation got that far out of control where they came to blows, much less a firearm came out. That’s insane.

    So sad that she had to lose her life over something so trivial. But racport39 there are things in the food and drink that is produced that will make you have crazy thoughts and actions. Not only should we watch what we eat but also fast for at least 3 days a month to clear the system. But this is just the beginning of sorrows, there will be plenty more people killing their family members and commiting savage acts like those guys molesting and raping the 7 yr old girl.You are also gonna see people killing politicians and preachers. The Scriptures have to be fulfilled. Peace

    You ppl sound like unbelievers to me…why would you even as why? Don’t you go to church? Better yet, don’t you READ the bible? And now and days, even the history channel is talking about it. Yall shouldn’t even be asking why. You should be adcknowledging the signs of the times. A demon possessed that woman. She was weak spirited and was used as a vessel to kill. When you’re a puppet on a string, what do you think you’re suppose to do? What the puppetmaster pulls your strings to do. Yall must think this is some folk lore or fairy tale stuff that’s going on or something. Watch closely, pay attention and for heaven’s sake….READ THE BIBLE! Don’t ask questions of why. Ask, what is that I can do to prepare myself for what’s to come?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blknall/ blknall

    back to the topic at hand. I’m not believin this is how it went down. It don’t make a bit of sense. I can see maybe she asked her to not be disrespectful and nowadays teens to get an attitude with elders. So somethin more went down and the story is lacking.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SOFT_AND_SENSUOUS/ SOFT_AND_SENSUOUS

    See this is why people should just leave others alone about the way they are dressed. That young girl couldn’t have been hurting anyone.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BrotherJohnOfDallas/ BrotherJohnOfDallas

    Sounds like there’s more to this story – otherwise the killer lady would be a stone-cold psychopath. Obviously, nothing justifies murdering someone, including sexy, revealing clothing. Past experience tells me that perhaps the older lady was very jealous of the younger lady, and I’m wondering if the older lady has a man, and assumed her younger cousin might be trying to get his attention? Extreme jealousy/envy can sometimes be the motive behind such tragic murders. I pray for the victim and her family, and the older lady should be punished fully for this nonsense.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2good2bsingle/ 2good2bsingle

    @ Article/Topic -> WTF??!!

    I believe (like Blknall) that there’s more to this story than is reported here. I believe that possibly there’s been previous discrepancies between these two ‘Women’. I’ll have to research it further.. :-/

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/get_wit_eman/ get_wit_eman

    even if there IS MORE to the story..the Po Po said the young lady was Trying to LEAVE..obviously witness’s must have told THAT much…so at that Point..WHY?…WHY shoot her in the head?…

    No EXCUSE..regardless to it being MORE to the story…nor have they said a Physical confrontation took place..bcos YOU KNOW they wouldve threw that out there immediately…to give a sense of the “so called” tension that escalated.

    That lady needs to suffer whatever consequences she gets…..it was premeditated….what…did she have the GUN in her back pocket the whole time?..on EASTER?..shes complaining about what someone is wearing on Easter, but shes packing a GUN?..get the fukk outta here…she killed that young girl, and probably couldnt wait to find a reason…whatever kind!! SMFH!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/catgirlTX1/ catgirlTX1

    OF COURSE THERES MORE TO THE STORY. THINK ABOUT IT. IF THE LADY DIDNT LIKE WHAT SHE HAD ON AND TOLD HER TO LEAVE AND SHE WAS IN THE MOTION TO LEAVE WHY WOULD SHE JUST SHOOT HER… SHES LEAVEING .. right? Im willing to bet they had words( threatened each other perhaps). Im also willing to bet that young lady was very disrespectful( if she disrespects her body in that way im sure she has no problem disrespecting others). She may have even had something herself like a knife. This does not justify shooting anyone, but this happens in the heat of arguments sometimes folks cant control anger. I will also say this. If someone came to my house in front of my family with their ass and coochie hanging out Ima pull them aside and tell them to go put on something more respectful. I have told my own 15 yr old niece in front of her mom and dad to go put on ashirt that didnt have her tits hanging out. I tiold her she was disrespecting her dad, herself and me as a woman.

    This just completely sad. It’s just dinner, the girl is only 19 so she is going to dress in a way she wants that she feels is comfortable. The older cousin was out of line for coming at her for the way she was dressed. It was a nice day and she felt it was nice to wear shorts. Obviously she must have not liked how she dressed at all to do something like this.

    Can you say senseless no matter what was said this young lady life didn’t have to be cut down like that.The arguement was petty to begin with. To me it sounds as if there were some type of jealousy involved.This is what happens when you let the devil guide you. His job is to call confussion and tear families apart and this is what happened in this situation. On a day that was special in recognizing Our Heavenly Father a day when He rosed with all power in His hands. This is what you get when you give satan a ride,he just takes over and drive.Let’s beat the devil at his own game, let’s join together and give this world a healing through prayer…….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lovelyjojo/ lovelyjojo

    This is extremely sad and was quite unnecessary. A young woman dead for no reason at all and another woman going to prison for a long time; two lives wasted. There is so much hatred in this world; I’ve been sick of it for years. I KNOW for sure that we all need God in our lives and we must honor and appreciate human life. Far too many people don’t and this is why society, and the entire world, is in the condition that it’s in. So many of you had great responses to this story. I’m glad to know that there are some people out here with sense. And it does not just happen in the “hood”, these stupid and senseless things happens everywhere. This is some crazy s____!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mita1364/ mita1364

    It is sad. Has anyone thought that this Woman who DID the shooting might be mentally unstable?? Has there been a history with her capacity at any time? or was she just TIRED of this 19 years old walking round embarrassing the family in the neighborhood and being known as the one with no respect? (Hoochie!!) Granted that in and of itself is no justification for this horrible act but a note to you youngsters that want to show off your goods, Madea’s out there..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Tuphunkefuya/ Tuphunkefuya

    Ms. Lady was not having that at all! WOW! Here is a tip for young people ………. Learn that you CAN do or say whatever you want …… but listen to this. There will be CONSEQUENCES and REPERCUSSIONS for your actions. Either way. Shoot somebody in the head. Go straight to jail. A young female popping off at the mouth in someone’s home being disrespectful …. you will get dealt with. That’s the rule.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mita1364/ mita1364

We as adult woman are put on this earth to help and try to mold young woman and make there better. May God bless there who family because now they have lost two members of there family over something so silly.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/wetanslippery/ wetanslippery

    For the ones saying she was a hoochie and disrespectful, how do you all know that? Whether a young person mouths off to an older person that is not a valid reason to shoot anyone, just ask her to leave and never come back. A person has every right to wear whatever they want wherever they want, it might not be how you or I might conduct ourselves but it is still their choice. If you don’t like it don’t look. Now taxpayers money is going to be wasted on this woman when she should just go straight to jail.

    Very sad and tragic. Two lives gone with the pulling of a trigger. But I’m with the consensus. There’s more here than meets the eye. I’m not condoning this womans action I just feel like everybody else something is missing to this story. I believe either words got exchanged either on the young ladys part or on her older cousin or possible jealousy as BrotherJohn of Dallas. Because manner of dress is no reason to shoot anybody.

    Most of you are correct. I believe more transpired. I do not believe it was without a transfer of words between this 42 year old female and the 19 year old female. How long it happened or what was said. BUT whatever was said the 42 year old did not take it lightly. As much as people think you should be able to do what you want or say what you want and the world should be ok with it because you say or think so is SADLY MISTAKEN. It don’t work that way. This is sad and tragic but there is a life lesson to be learned here.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kosmopolitisch/ Kosmopolitisch

    That moment was the perfect intersection of severe brainwashing: Christian morals (celebration of the messiah’s resurrection) combined with secular problem-solving (Tyler Perry style, Madea). My argument will not make sense to most folks but a few will understand and further question the ideas that vigorously indoctrinated into the thought culture of our community. And at the end of the day, a familly member took the life of another family member for showing a beyond christian amount of skin with use a secular equilizing device…

    If person “A” would have said ” I don’t like that.” and person “B” would have said “I’m sorry I will leave.” I do not believe anything would have jumped off. There was a basic breakdown of common courtesy and respect. There lies the spark. People don’t kill over a penny or a beer. They react because of disrespect from one another.

    I hate to say it, and I could be wrong, because a young woman is no longer with us, but I hope young Danielle wasn’t having intimate relations with her cousins husband, or her husband occasionally flirted with her and Danielle never stop him, and the wife was heated for awhile and it just cared over into her emotions going out of control. This could be like the movie”Soul Food”, only Vanessa Williams ask her cousin to leave a family event. Because emotions from sex and being in love with someone are the only reasons I can see for shooting someone in the head over shorts being worn at Easter. The wife could have told her to come dressed decent or don’t come at all. Young Danielle was flirting with her man.

I fully understand the current anger that permeates the Black community, which clearly proves that the distinguishing quality between mature adults and children is “SELF-CONTROL.” People continue to “GROW”, but they are not “MATURING!” Although I am a born-again Christian, I’m hard-pressed to admit that I haven’t reached the level of “spirituality” where I will literally turn the other cheek. My Father use to always say: “IT IS BETTER THAT 12 JUDGE YOU, THAN FOR 6 TO CARRY YOU!” Let the record show this isn’t the first nor will it be the last incident of unnecesary violence. So sincere, Michael Sydney Perkins (aka sweetp06519@yahoo.com)

    Clearly the aunt was crazy. The sad part is the girl actually did what people should do when people have a problem with you – leave! Sadly, some people still have a thirst for blood. The aunt was worrying about her clothes for Jesus, but then commits sin! Hypocrite.

    The husband Kevin has no comment, but the wife got that gun from somewhere. He knows why it escalated to this nonsense. Besides, its not his second cousin, its Evelyn. He would have commented if it was his. Kevin was flirting with Danielle or Danielle was flirting with Kevin. Think about it. Kevin says no comment. You are about to lose your wife to prison and NO COMMENT!!! Come on man!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/n0gar/ n0gar

    Oh yeah… From coast to coast, not matter the issue, black people are doing the same thing – killing each other off. The murder rate is so high that we might as well commit suicide. At this rate, years from now history might talk about the black people who used to be here.

    These actions are part of the reason some seek change in a white woman in order to get away from this madness…

    The black race is simply doomed to extinction. People like this make me want to say “good riddance”. Our race rewards failure, criminality. Don’t be offended by MY words, be offended by that.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Abundance8/ Abundance8

    This has nothing to do with skin color!!!…before a action is done, it started in a seed of thought….some speak about things they know nothing about….this here is much, much deeper than what appears;….( actions always is birth out from a belief system/thoughts/concepts in the mind; you want to know where the devil “is”, the devil is a way of thinking; thoughts are presented, and if received, and believed to be truth , than a stronghold is formed, and eventually that thought/stronghold becomes behavior patterns, liken as what is written about in this article ) therefore since you do not know where it orginated, humble yourself to ask some one or be quiet…..No race is doomed to extinction….”human thinking is doomed to extinction”….human thinking is that thought pattern that is separate and apart from the divine mind…..I will continue to share truth, until some, that is still asleep in human thinking/actions/nightmare, one or few will catch it, and begin the waking up process, awakening into the light of truth…..love u all

    Peace,a message to all my real black people out there.
    This is a disgrace,this is a wake up call.
    Black america,black men and women are overall,brainwashed and under the
    control of a massive spell of self hate and self destruction.
    Myself,real tired of all this division and self hate being practiced by
    both men and women rich and poor. On the day of easter I thought it was
    about god and christ and myself I don’t even believe it or even practice
    this easter bunny,religous madness in general. It’s so sad and a shame
    for that young sister to die like that over some slave labor cheap clothes.
    It’s even more sad that another one of my Queen Sister’s has to spend
    the rest of life locked up in an updated slave prison,plantation
    working for free and cut off from the rest of her family.
    Overall to me,this amerikkkanized,contemporary culture is really no good
    for black male’s or females.
    The 60′s are over and intergration was a mainly a trick to divide
    and conquer us.
    Anybody want more answers from me,send me a note.
    I live in dayton,ohio and in general,there are plenty more of brainswashed,miseducated,self hating black people living in this area of
    the midwest. I see it as a genocide,self induced self hate and genocide
    in full effect for the 21st century.
    Go read all the book’s by Amos Wilson and Ra Nefer Amen.
    It might help free your mind’s from mental amerikkkanized mental
    slavery.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BaldGentleman729/ BaldGentleman729

    Without knowing all the facts, y’all shouldn’t be assuming what happen or didn’t happen. Bottom line, if anything did happen there is no justification for this girl to be shot. Y’all talking about there has to be more, and if there isn’t then what? You guys need to stop looking deep and just look at the fact that this woman gunned this girl down for something so small as a pair of shorts. “IF” and I mean “IF” this girl slept with her cousin man, does she have proof? If so why let this girl come over and start an argument just to shoot her when she could have done it without it being in the news for this.

    Nelsonpt22 are you really black to berate yourself like that.

I am Black and i am proud! I am not a savage and i am sad that you feel like this. WE ARE IN A SPIRITUAL WARFARE NOT A RACIAL one! these people had their dysfunctions because of teir spiritual welfare not becasue they were black white or brown or any other race. What ever the reason they hurt each other, they’re souls at take not their credibility as a black person. God Bless you. Maybe you should try to go to church and learn about what we truly are up against. Read Ephesians 4… read your bible period. One Love

As far as the girl being shot in the head that’s just insane!!! I mean really Did u have to shoot her??? I don’t care if she was sleeping, flirting or wearing short shorts at Easter dinner. She is dead now, and the Aunt is in jail. If it had something to do with the husband, his a$$ is out and with the free. The girl is dead and the Aunt is in jail.

    How sad and tragic! A young woman with great potential killed over something so silly and trivial. I will say that I wouldn’t wear shorts on Easter if I’m going to a function, but this is not right at all! According to another story, it said the woman didn’t mean to shoot her. How can you NOT mean to shoot someone in the head? Just pulling out the gun is going overboard to begin with!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kenmc_2/ kenmc_2

    Ok, which is worst wearing shorts or pulling out a gun on Easter. If the aunt or cousin thought something like that was so bad, how in the hell do you think pulling out a gun is ok? She was way too young to die. She had her whole life infront of her.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nanapeppa/ nanapeppa

    Everything about this article including the adjoining link lacks credibility. Nevermind the house number along with the young lady shown in the photo (appears to be a young Malinda Williams). They’re both clearly photoshopped and that address is sensationalized hype. However, if this did occur, it’s the LAST time the younger relative arrives improperly and disrespectfully dressed to an elder relative’s home for a religious gathering. I don’t condone such violence, but it’s apparent that something other than what’s being reported is behind the true nature of events.

    And another thing, Yoeshua (Jesus) was a professed Yahudi (Jew). He celebrated Passover (The Last Supper was Passover meal), not Easter (Eostre) which is actually a fertility celebration and pagan in origin – research Constantine and the Treaty of Nicea. Also, per Hebraic Gospels, the sign or number of “The Beast” is much greater in numerical length/value than the infamous 666 made popular by “The Omen” franchise.

    Although a very sad story, I think the way the media reported the story is flawed. Yes, the argument may have started because of the attire or the young lady, but my belief is that this was NOT the reason for the mishap. What happened after that, that made the 42 year old want to shoot the young cousin, leave it to the media, we’ll never know. Of course, this could have happened anyday of the year, so I agree with sweet N sassy, what does that have to do with celebrating Easter Doug. LMAO

    ***REAL NEWS ALERT***

    Looting Main Street

    How the nation’s biggest banks are ripping off American cities with the same predatory deals that brought down Greece

    MATT TAIBBI

    If you want to know what life in the Third World is like, just ask Lisa Pack, an administrative assistant who works in the roads and transportation department in Jefferson County, Alabama. Pack got rudely introduced to life in post-crisis America last August, when word came down that she and 1,000 of her fellow public employees would have to take a little unpaid vacation for a while. The county, it turned out, was more than $5 billion in debt — meaning that courthouses, jails and sheriff’s precincts had to be closed so that Wall Street banks could be paid.

    As public services in and around Birmingham were stripped to the bone, Pack struggled to support her family on a weekly unemployment check of $260. Nearly a fourth of that went to pay for her health insurance, which the county no longer covered. She also fielded calls from laid-off co-workers who had it even tougher. “I’d be on the phone sometimes until two in the morning,” she says. “I had to talk more than one person out of suicide. For some of the men supporting families, it was so hard — foreclosure, bankruptcy. I’d go to bed at night, and I’d be in tears.”

    Easter is a pagen holiday. Do the research. Be that as it may, why didn’t the woman shot the husband? I read that the woman was upset that her husband was looking at the young lady. If she was that upset why didn’t she shoot the husband.

    Well people, I’m originally from Columbus and most of my family still lives there. I “JUST” talked to my mom yesterday and she was telling about this. What’s being left out here is the lady who shot the younger girl, had a husband/boyfriend who was checking out the younger girl and what she had on. He made a comment first towards or about the girl, and the older woman got upset and then thats where the confrontation started between the two females. The lady should’ve had a problem with her man in my opinion for looking, not with the girl. I hope she gets whats coming to her for this senseless nonsense… Pray for the girl’s family.

    The Truth%

    According to family members who were present, Burgess got mad when her husband took notice of the T-shirt and jean shorts that Danielle Pickens was wearing.

    Burgess and Danielle Pickens fought before Pickens walked outside and got into a car in front of the Linden-area house.

    Burgess followed, pointed a handgun at her 19-year-old second cousin and shot her in the head, according to police.

    Burgess, 42, told police that Pickens showed up at her house in an outfit that “was inappropriate and disrespectful to wear at Easter dinner,” said Columbus homicide detective Steven Eppert.

    He said Burgess told investigators “she didn’t mean to shoot” Pickens, who was wounded at 8:43 p.m. in front of 1666 Manchester Ave.

    Pickens, who lived nearby on Pontiac Street, died at Riverside Methodist Hospital at 2 a.m. yesterday of a gunshot wound in the head, said Franklin County Coroner Jan Gorniak.

    Burgess is charged with one count of murder. During her initial court appearance today, Franklin County Municipal Court Judge William Pollitt set bond at $500,000.

    Eppert said a large number of family members and friends were at Burgess’ house during the confrontation and “quite a few were witnesses” to the shooting.

    Yesterday, several family members gathered at Pickens’ house. Her cousin, Tico Pickens, 33, described Danielle as a “sweet, young, caring person.”

    “And what happened to her should have never happened,” he said.

    This is so sad and senseless. R.I.P.

    This is so unbelievable and sad. Some Black people in the USA are just too string up on violence by any means with no respect for themselves because if they had respect themselves we would not be reading stories like the one above. The older cousin was mad because her younger cousin got short on which her husband stared at. What get me is she said she didn’t mean to shoot her cousin. Really? Then why hold a gun to the back of her head while she was leaving the house? I feel so sorry for the family of the young lady may she rest in peace.

    This woman should have handled the situation in a better way all she had to do was ask her cousin to leave her home. This woman took her young cousin life for what a pair of shorts this is the way young women dress now “I THINK SHE WAS MAD BECAUSE HER HUSBAND WAS LOOKING AT THAT PRETTY YOUNG LADY MAY GOD REST HER SOUL!!!!!

    This is the result of black folk celebrating in holidays The Most High didn’t sanction for us to celebrate. All of these holidays are pagan with pagan orgins. Black folk think that these holidays their celebrating was holidays they were celebrating before our ancestors were brought over to this land but they weren’t celebrating these paganistic holidays. All of them. The Most High intended for us to celebrate His holy days which include Passover, The Feast of Unleaven bread, Pentecost, Day of Atonement. These are all Holy days sanctioned by the most high. People are celebrating holidays and not even knowing the orgins behind these holidays. Why? Cause black folk don’t read and the best way to keep knowledge from a nigga is to hide it in a book. To get some truth and understanding, view The Curses on youtube. Also, view Hebrew Israelite The So Called Negro on http://www.cofah.com S**t like this will continue to happen as long as black folk stay in ingnorance.

    “Cause black folk don’t read and the best way to keep knowledge from a nigga is to hide it in a book.”

    Careful…in your dialogue you stated, “as long as black folk stay in ignorance.”

    And if you reference yourself as a “Spirit-man,” they do not resort in calling people “ni**as” as well as rebuking his own people for being UNevolved as opposed to ignoRANT. Which is essentially what you are doing–ranting. Just give this some thoughtplease.CHANGE does not begin with others…it begins with US.

    Isn’t is IRONIC that this heinous crime took place on EASTER???!!!

    Honor Jesus, yet shoot your FAMILY member in the head…Seems like the focus of the day was on the wrong thing…gotta love religion….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzylicious2006/ jazzylicious2006

    Just because the crime was committed on Easter, doesn’t mean it has something to do with religion! Hell, a lot of folks don’t honor the day for what it is anyway (Jesus christ dieing on the cross and being raised from the dead). They rather go out and by new clothes to show off one sunday out of the year and have Easter egg hunts instead. You can only receive knowledge from the word(of god) but it’s up to you to live accordingly to it! Now, don’t get me wrong there are a lot of “false(key word) prophets” out there that make you wonder, “but” if you know the word and you are content with your beliefs then those that are faking shouldn’t matter nor change what you believe in! Me personally I have a relationship with god however I’m not perfect nor do I teach and preach to others bc my beliefs and out look on life isn’t the same as others! I believe in God and not all of us have the same god so why would I need your teachings? So me personally I’m not into different religions I believe in a higher power and I will leave it as that!

    What would possess this woman with her 42 yr old grown azz to shoot and kill her family member over shorts? This womanmust have beeninsecure with deeprooted jealousy issues. If she didn’t like the way that she was dressed why not ask her to leave the home instead of shooting her in the head. This is tragic and did not have to happen. I hope that they lock her azz under the jail.

    really tragic story. but im sure there are lot more details to this story that aren’t revealed here. something else set this woman off. another comment the girl made, an insult perhaps, during an argument that started over short shorts. the rage was probably brewing for months, if not years, and the argument over shorts shorts over east dinner was just the final tragic chapter of a long, sad tale.

    I tell you the God’s truth. No one should have to die because of their apparel whether it is the right attire or not. I can understand talking to her about dressing like a lady though she be young but to kill her is not logically. I am sure other things happened, even so it is not worth it. One dead and one in jail. Not!!
