Cigar And A Crime

    Bear Force One: The Unsolved Murder of De’Runnya Wilson

    He was built like a nightmare for defenders. Six-foot-five. Over 220 pounds.  A playmaker who helped lead Mississippi State to the #1 ranking in the nation. They called him Bear. But on January 21st, 2020… De’Runnya “Bear” Wilson wasn’t on a football field. He was inside a home in Birmingham, Alabama-  where his life was taken in a case that, years later, still has no answers. In this episode of Cigar & A Crime, Dr. Dee takes you beyond the highlight reels and headlines to uncover the deeper story:  The rise of a multi-sport phenom from Wenonah High School  His impact at Mississippi State alongside Dak Prescott  The transition from college stardom to life after football  The tragic day his mother, Tamika Wilson, found him unresponsive  The investigation that quickly turned into a homicide… and then went quiet  And the questions that still remain unanswered De’Runnya Wilson wasn’t just an athlete. He was a father to four daughters and one son- five children now growing up without him. And while his stats were widely reported… his case has not received the same attention. This episode also confronts a larger truth: Why do some stories fade faster than others?  Why do we know more about what he did on the field… than what happened to him off of it? And what does justice look like… when silence replaces answers?

    The Silence Before the Shot: The Murder of Tenisha Williams

    Inside a quiet home in Cherokee County, Georgia, a moment unfolded that would change everything. On July 13, 2025, Tenisha Williams was shot and killed by her husband, Kelvin Demond Williams, in a case that would later reveal chilling details, a surviving teenage witness, and questions that still linger beneath the surface. But this episode goes beyond the headlines. Because when we searched for Tenisha…  we found something unsettling. Very little. No detailed public story.  No widely documented background.  Just fragments of a life… and a tragedy that forced it into the light. In this episode of Cigar & A Crime, Dr. Dee steps into the silence—reconstructing the timeline, breaking down the investigation, and examining what happens when control, isolation, and violence collide behind closed doors. This is not just a story about what happened that night. It’s about what may have been happening long before anyone was listening. 🔎 In This Episode:  The final moments inside the home on July 13, 2025  The 911 call that changed everything  The investigation and courtroom outcome  What we know—and what we still don’t—about Tenisha Williams  The role of silence in domestic violence cases 🎯 Why This Case Matters Some stories come with full histories.  Others… we have to piece together. Tenisha Williams deserves to be remembered-not just for how her life ended, but for the questions her story forces us to ask. 🎧 Listen Now If you believe in truth, accountability, and telling stories that matter-  this episode is for you. 🔔 Follow & Support the Show 📺 Full episodes on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@cigarandacrimepodcast?si=oFb_7WyTSvb0t6pY  🎧 Streaming on Apple Podcasts & Spotify  📲 Follow on all platforms: @cigarandacrime ⚠️ Content Note This episode discusses domestic violence and may be difficult for some listeners. #CigarAndACrime #TrueCrimePodcast #TenishaWilliams #DomesticViolenceAwareness #CherokeeCounty #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForVictims #PodcastRecommendations #CrimeStories #TheSmokeNeverLies

    🎙 When ICE Heard the Shots: The Keith Porter Jr. Investigation

    In the final hours of 2025, a father’s life ended in a courtyard in Northridge, California — and the narrative surrounding his death unfolded faster than the facts. On New Year’s Eve, 43-year-old Keith Porter Jr. was shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent outside his apartment complex. Federal officials described it as an “active shooter” situation, while family members and community witnesses say Keith was firing gunshots into the air to celebrate the holiday — not threatening anyone. What really happened that night? Was deadly force justified? And why are key pieces of evidence — 911 audio, ballistic mapping, surveillance footage and dispatch logs — still not publicly available? In this deeply reported episode, Dr. Dee goes beyond the headline to: • Meet Keith — a devoted father, nicknamed “Pooter,” described by friends and coworkers as funny, uplifting and hardworking. • Reconstruct the New Year’s Eve encounter — using DHS statements, family accounts, and LAPD investigative updates. • Explore the broader context of ICE-related deaths in 2026, naming others such as Renée Nicole Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti — part of a troubling federal pattern. • Examine racial dynamics and use-of-force disparities backed by research on policing and threat perception. • Demand transparency — with a core theme that without public records, authority alone shapes the story. Featuring a powerful reflection grounded in history and moral truth, and closing with the African proverb:  “Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter.” This episode isn’t just investigative — it’s a summons for accountability. 📌 Subscribe to Cigar & A Crime for evidence-based storytelling that refuses to accept narrative as verdict.

    Episode 15: Legacy in Limbo — The LaChunda Hunter Case

    What if you buried your newborn child…  and then got a call saying she was alive? In this haunting episode of Cigar & A Crime, we step into one of the most disturbing and unresolved stories to surface in recent years, the case of LaChunda Hunter and her premature daughter, Legacy Darmika-Grace Gray. In February 2022, LaChunda was told her newborn had died in the NICU. Days later, a doctor called with “good news,” describing Legacy’s improving condition in precise medical detail, before abruptly hanging up. What followed was a cascade of contradictions: a body viewed in a dark room, medical records updated after a reported death, disputed DNA tests, and a hospital that refused to answer questions. This episode is not about shock.  It’s about humanity, trust, grief, and unanswered questions. We walk through the timeline carefully, separating what is known from what remains disputed, while centering LaChunda’s lived experience as a mother navigating unimaginable uncertainty. We also examine the broader implications: how systems of power respond when questioned, how Black mothers are treated when they advocate for themselves, and what happens when closure is denied. From the Lounge of Truth, with smoke in the air and truth on the table, Dr. Dee reflects on ambiguous loss, maternal intuition, and why this story refuses to rest. This is Legacy’s story. And her legacy demands to be heard. 🎧 Full episode available now 📺 Video version on YouTube 🎙️ Streaming on Apple Podcasts & Spotify The Smoke Never Lies.
