Former MMA Fighter Reportedly Stabs Ex-Girlfriend 17 Times

The woman in question, 24-year-old Irene Torres, was found by officials after Herelle gave them the location of the body, which he hid. The traumatic events that led to her death were divulged by officials last week as the suspect remains behind bars. Her sister states this has been an “unimaginable loss” for their family.
Herelle Jr., 28, had his preliminary hearing in Tennessee on Wednesday, Feb. 15. During this, friends and family of the slain woman were forced to hear the harrowing details of Torres’ demise. Metro Nashville Police Department told the court the two had worked together at a bar on Broadway. It’s not clear if that’s where they met or formed their relationship.
Herelle Jr. & Torres Had Troubled Relationship
Some time after, however, the couple’s union became abusive—physically and emotionally—according to reports. According to her older sister, Reyna Douglas, “Irene spent some of the last months of her young life abused, degraded, terrorized, and fearful.” A month prior to Torres’ death, she and Herelle had broken up—a move Douglas cites as a “brave decision” upon her sister’s return home. Irene was “happy to start her new life with the support of her family.” Torres and Herelle Jr. parted ways on December 29, 2022. Exactly one month later, sadly, the two got into a heated in front of Torres’ family home. It resulted in Herelle Jr. ambushing her from behind and stabbing her an immense 17 times.
According to the details on her GoFundMe page, he then “took Irene’s lifeless body and transported her across the county and dumped her in a plastic bin in his closet.” The former MMA fighter went on to dump her pants and purse behind a local grocery store. Herelle Jr. confessed after being confronted by the woman’s father. Irene Torres fundraiser page has received nearly $20,000 and has since closed. Yesterday (Feb. 19), her sister announced her memorial was held over the weekend. “It is comforting to see how many people loved and cared for Irene and how many lives she touched,” Douglas wrote in an update. Overall, the remaining funds will be donated to a local domestic violence charity on her family’s behalf.

Biggie Wasn’t Killed In A Drive-By, Says Ex-Bodyguard
Diddy’s former bodyguard Gene Deal is sharing his side of the story about his days with the Bad Boy mogul. Deal recently sat down with The Art of Dialogue, and according to him, some Hip Hop History stories have strayed from the truth. In 1997, Christopher “The Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace was murdered in Los Angeles. Despite reports, Deal rejects claims that the rapper was killed in a drive-by shooting.
For decades, it has been stated that both Tupac Shakur and Biggie were victims of drive-by-related incidents. There have been theories about who was responsible for both murders, and while some have pinpointed suspects, no one has officially been charged. Deal also believes Biggie’s killer was lurking outside the Petersen Automotive Museum waiting for the rapper.

“It just hurts because they lie too much,” said Deal. “A lot of that sh*t be lies the way they put it together ’cause they listening to these white boys who wasn’t even there. I don’t want to make this racial, but they take these white boys who wasn’t even there and want to use the stories that they want to tell, which is not the truth.” He also added: “Wasn’t no drive-by. The car was standing there at the corner. The stories they tell is not truthful. And now people are sitting here believing.”
The former bodyguard said he quickly made his way to Biggie’s side to help in any way he could. “Every Biggie movie that you see, they say it’s a drive-by,” Deal continued. “When the witness tells you the car was stood right there at the corner…the car was probably there all night.” Further, “I saw this kid lose his life. This kid died while I was pulling him out of the car,” he said. “I wouldn’t put nobody in my shoes ’cause I don’t feel like they could handle it. If I didn’t have God in my life, if I didn’t have people praying for me, I don’t know if I could have handled it.”

Deal also said he “knew that somebody was going to die that night.” He had a feeling someone “was going to get shot,” and he did “everything in” his power to protect Diddy. “The people that was bodyguarding Big didn’t do everything in their power to stop it from being Big. And that hurts me, even though it wasn’t my principle. Every time you hear his music, every time you see one of these murals on the wall, now they got statues. It’s gon’ hurt until God takes me away from here.”

Robert Allen, 26, reportedly pleaded guilty to second-degree murder back in August 2022. The other defendants are all looking at first-degree murder and robbery with a firearm.

They reportedly purchased masks, armed themselves with guns, and went to find potential victims.
“Deidrick said it’s XXX,” Allen said of running into Onfroy by chance. The group quickly constructed a plan. They allegedly waited for Onfroy to leave the store.

Immediately following Onfroy’s murder, clips of him dying in his vehicle circulated online. People quickly called for them to be taken down. Additionally, the three defendants on trial face upwards of life in prison.
