Florida man kills wife, shoots his stepdaughter, and then kills himself — all over a football game

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd related a horrific series of alleged crimes that spun out of a disagreement over a football game.

47-year-old Jason Kenney shot and killed his wife at their Lakeland home before shooting his 13-year-old stepdaughter twice, once in the face, according to Judd.

‘You’re drinking, you’re using cocaine again. … You need God.’

Kenney and his wife got into an argument after she suggested that he turn off the television as he was watching “Monday Night Football.” The argument escalated and led his wife to tell their son to go call the police.

The 12-year-old boy ran over to their neighbor’s home, but as he left the home, he heard gunshots.

When deputies arrived, they found the man’s wife, Crystal Kenney, dead, and the stepdaughter shot twice. They rushed her to the hospital in critical condition.

Judd said that Kenney fled the scene and called his sister in upstate New York. He allegedly told her that he had done something terrible and that he would not let police take him to prison for the rest of his life.

Police caught up with the man at his father’s home, where he had barricaded himself inside a shack.

They heard a gunshot and found his dead body when they entered the shack.

Judd said that police found a note written by Kenney’s wife to him, but said they could not determine when it had been written.

“You’re drinking, you’re using cocaine again. This is not the way the family should be. You need God,” she wrote.

He said that she had been a regular churchgoer and donated to her church every week.

“When you go in there, there is a beautiful Christmas tree with lots of Christmas presents under it, just like the nuclear family should be,” said Judd. “The only thing he did right that night was shoot himself.”

Judd said the 12-year-old boy was unharmed and noted that he was Kenney’s biological son. Also unharmed was his wife’s 1-year-old daughter, who was found sleeping in a crib.

Cowboys football player says Chargers’ video falsely portrays him as racist

The social media team for the Los Angeles Chargers was reviled by many for apparently editing a video to make it appear as if an opponent team’s player had yelled a racial epithet on the field.

The video was posted to the X platform but deleted after Cooper Beebe of the Dallas Cowboys criticized the post and denied the suggestion that he had used a racist slur.

Beebe’s words were bleeped out, which he said gave the false impression that he had said something racist.

“Imagine bleeping out what I said to make me seem racist. You guys are POS,” Beebe posted in response.

Beebe explained that he was calling out a play on the field but was accused of using an expletive. The exchange led to a penalty on the team and more trash-talking.

“He was talking s**t to me,” said Chargers player Daiyan Henley in the video. “He called me a bad word. I don’t know what he said — he said something, he pointed at me, [and] he called me a bad word. That’s called karma. Instant karma.”

Beebe’s words were bleeped out, which he said gave the false impression that he had said something racist. He later deleted his message from social media.

The Chargers’ social media team was castigated by many for the post.

“So we just move on pretending like the [C]hargers twitter account didn’t delete a tweet accusing [C]ooper [B]eebe of being racist?” read one very popular response.

“Cooper Beebe is literally one of the nicest people in the league. @chargers Stop being mad cuz you have like 5 total fans and a stadium nobody likes,” read another response.

The Chargers went on to beat Dallas by a score of 34 to 17 in the game depicted in the video.
