Jovan Belcher pledged not to be violent toward women years before he killed his girlfriend
Family members and friends of former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher say debilitating head injuries may have lead to the murder-suicide of Belcher and his girlfriend.
Police say Belcher, 25, unloaded his weapon 9 times into Kasandra Perkins, killing the mother of his infant daughter in their Kansas City home early Saturday.
He then drove about 5 miles to the team’s Arrowhead practice facility, where he turned a different gun on himself in front of his shocked coach and general manager.
According to a report in the NY Post, Belcher suffered painful migraine headaches caused by “football-related head injuries”. Belcher, who played for the Chiefs from 2009-2012, drank heavily and may have been addicted to painkillers, the Post reports.
He was “a player who had not had a long concussion history,” said Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt on Sunday.
Perkins’ friends are telling the unsanitized version of the relationship between Belcher and Perkins that differs widely from what his friends are saying. There is talk about volatile arguments fueled by Belcher’s drinking, and Belcher staying away from home for extended periods.
“[Belcher] wouldn’t have had a reason to be jealous,” said Deveen Dunson-Rusher, a friend of Perkins, who added “She was here when she could be.
“She always had dinner ready for him. Did laundry. Baby was always cleaned and pampered,” said Rusher.
But Perkins didn’t have dinner ready for Belcher on Friday night. Instead, she and her friends attended a concert by R&B singer Trey Songz in Kansas City. Perkins was late getting home from the concert. She arrived home around 1 a.m., where a furious Belcher waited.
The usual arguments ensued about her partying and lack of attentiveness to the baby. But this time the rancorous arguing ended in tragedy.
Belcher’s mother, Cheryl Shepherd, moved in with the couple to help Perkins with 2-month-old Zoey.
Belcher credited his “hard working” single mother for raising him as best she could without a father figure in his life.
In a 2008 interview he said: “My mother is a hardworking woman. To see her overcome some things and succeed, it makes me look at things and say, ‘this isn’t even hard.’”
But despite his mother pulling double duty as mother and father, she couldn’t make up for the mental toughness that only a man can instill in a boy his age.
Boys learn how to handle their emotions in ways that only a man can teach them. In the absence of a father figure, he could only observe his mother’s highly emotional reactions when she was angry.
That may be why Belcher devoted his adult life to ending violence against women.
While attending the University of Maine on a football scholarship he was a member of Male Athletes Against Violence (MAAV) which describes itself as an ‘effort to involve men so that we can begin to understand that violence is very much a ‘man’s issue.’
MAAV encourages male athletes to wear white ribbons on campus to show solidarity in their stand against violence toward women.
Belcher was outspoken about his respect for women which he inherited from his mother.
But his mother’s courage and intestinal fortitude couldn’t prepare him for the sports groupies, who spread like cancer among the ranks of professional athletes.
Some of them are merciful, leaving the athlete with his manhood intact and his bank account only partially depleted of funds.
But other groupies go for the jackpot: a baby which they use like a sponge to drain a man emotionally and financially.
Shades of Rae Carruth.
The son who grows up without a father will internalize his pain and be consumed by feelings of worthlessness. He “will go through life with abandonment issues. Always waiting for the next person to leave.”
They enter unhealthy relationships, always holding on tighter, “suffocating others, because they are so afraid of someone leaving them.”
She told him she was leaving him and filing for child support that fateful Saturday morning. She’d left him before, taking the baby with her to stay with friends. Maybe it was the tone of her voice or the look in her eyes that convinced him she meant it this time.
Ms. Shpherd, Belcher’s mother, witnessed her son shoot Perkins multiple times. The baby was in another room. Belcher walked out of her life the way his father walked out of his.
He drove to the Arrowhead practice facility and committed suicide in front of his coach and general manager. But before he pulled the trigger, he thanked the men for everything they did for him — everything his own father didn’t do.
Shepherd will now take custody of baby Zoey. She plans to raise Zoey in her West Babylon, NY home where she raised her son as best as she could without a man in his life.

Just fcked up.
This story is so sad. Mental illness is real and people need to know when to seek help. I just had a neighbor whose 18 year old son hung himself last week. He had been battling bipolar disorder for a long time, but recently stopped seeing a doctor. Just so sad.
I honestly don’t have nothing else to say about this but that this is unfortunate for the child
Just sad though 
PEOPLE NEED TO QUIT IT SERIOUSLY, I DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF THIS WOMAN STAYED OUT ALL DAMN NIGHT, DRINKING AND PARTYING THAT DOESN’T GIVE THIS KNEEGRO THE RIGHT TO KILL HER!!!!!
AGAIN A MAN SPECIFICALLY A BLACK MAN WHO HAD OBVIOUS ANGER ISSUES AND CHOSE TO HANDLE CONFLICT WITH VIOLENCE AND BECAUSE HE HAD MONEY AND A LUCRATIVE CAREER-SOMEHOW HE CAN’T BE ACCOUNTABLE ALL BY HIMSELF, THE VICTIM HAS TO BE AT FAULT AS WELL
THIS IS THE SHIAT I’M TALKING ABOUT
BUT WHEN A MAN KILLS A STEPCHILD OR HIS OWN CHILD, THE BLAME IS FOCUSED ON THE MOTHER CAUSE SHE SHOULD HAVE CHOSE A BETTER MATE, WELL THIS NICCA COULD HAVE DONE THE SAME-MADE A BETTER CHOICE OF WHO TO HAVE A CHILD WITH
AND NOT ACT LIKE GOD AND TAKE HER LIFE THE MOMENT SHE DIDN’T BEHAVE THE WAY HE WANTED HER TOO
More and more studies about how contact sports cause serious and irreversible brain damage. They may finally start trying to do something about.
Or not cause that might affect their bottom lines.
Ummm we are not comparing this dude to Rae Carruth are we? For real? Who killed poor Cherica to avoid paying child support?
*Rae will be out in the next 4-5 years I do belee.
RIP to the young ones who lost their lives.
@Oprahs B
THis is so sad!
for both sides of the families…
Just had to delete so many on the twittah, my feed was getting out of damn control
But now Its looking much better now 
SHOT THAT WOMAN 9 TIMES IN FRONT OF HER MOTHER, I’M ASSUMING THEIR CHILD WAS PRESENT, AND THEN SHOOTS HIMSELF IN FRONT OF HIS COACHES FUGGIN UP THEIR LIVES AS WELL, SELFISH BASTARD, MENTAL ILLNESS IS A BIATCH GET HELP BUT DON’T WREAK HAVOC AND HELL ON OTHERS BECAUSE DEMONS RIDING YOUR DAMN BACK!!!
This is still so sad to me…

Come on Sandra…Mental illness has nothing to do with an absent father. It runs way deeper than that. The same circumstances could have occurred having both parents in the home…smh
<–saw a special on high school and younger football teams. AND what I saw was not good
at all! My lil one isn't in to sports but if he was, I'd take him out after I saw that special. djm 
I stopped my 13yr old son from playing Football last year due to the migranes he started having. He was known for as the kid who hit hard on the team…no more, no more!
THE SYMPATHY AND COMPASSION THIS MAN IS BEING SHOWN IS SICK, BUT IF HE HAD BEEN A FEMALE THERE WOULD BE LITTLE OR NO COMPASSION
THE HYPOCRISY
And whoever a damn Nychelle is on the damn twittah need to getyolife beesh

Sad story for all involved.
most for that poor baby that will now not have her mother or father to grow up with.

I agree.
I still can’t get over the fact that he killed the mother of his child,himself, and traumatized two people in the process now their baby is left parent less the devil stays busy just sad all over

Sandra, you are an awesome storyteller…not that I don’t believe what you wrote…but you weave such an intricate tale full of detail and physiological observations even though we will never really understand this man’s thoughts and actions….SMH…we can only pray for the child and families left to mourn this man’s selfish act.
So sad. All of this. I won’t touch on the single parent, fatherless, mental illness saga. I just pray that they are able to pick up and move on. It’s going to be harder than anyone can ever imagine. The 14 year anniversary of my brothers murder-suicide will be here on the 6th. Seems just like yesterday. Damn.
This is sad no matter what the reasons were
I will wait for the autopsy to see what was up with this cat’s brain
SMH!
RIP to Kasandra Perkins and my condolences go out to her family. This story is very disheartening.
This has nothing to do with a lack of a father. There are violent men who grow up in two parent household. This man had some type of mental issue stemming from concussions and a possible drinking problem. The baby os who I’m praying for, that child has lost both parents and in a murder-suicide to boot. This is tragic all the way around. Bpth mothers have lost their children and no one will ever know what was really going on in his mind.

Sometimes she just goes overboard.
I guess I’m one of the few who isn’t buying this mental illness spill (shoutout to Intense)…first of all for a gun to be involved he either had it waiting or went to get it in the midst of an argument…deliberate move…this nigguh wanted to go out in a blaze of glory…thus the whole driving to the camp to talk to the coach and GM then blow his brains out in front of them…this nigguh was calculated in every step…now everbody suffers…the daughter is parentless…I’m certain the victim’s mother is going to get custody of the daughter and do you really believe she’s going to allow anyone on his side of the family to come see this child…nope…this was a nigguh full of himself probably used to getting what he wanted and when the cards didn’t roll his way, he pulled a bitchass selfish move…miss me with the mental illness or any ounce of empathy for his ass
*is *both typing on phone
Fcuk dat sh1t. Just wrong! Point Blank!
don’t blame this shyt on the nfl….
Sandra i’ma need you to
This situation is all the way fukked up and that dude will have to account for his actions with his maker. He left his daughter without a mother and a father! That child will have no memories of her parents and the ones she’ll see in public will destroy her for a very long time.
I wish the best for all parties in this situation esp the GM and the coach that witnessed him blow his head off. He’s a sick individual
I did notice in all of the pics, you don’t see other people. Idk but that jumped out to me.
Have ya’ll noticed the ones that have never fathered or mothered a child a day in their lives always have the most to say about why child is a certain way

I have no sympathy for dude at all. What he did was so selfish and cowardly. I don’t care what she did, said or didn’t do, she did not deserve to die. His actions has affected so many lives. I hope the mother finds strength and get the help that she will need to carry on. I can only imagine her pain right now. That poor baby is now parentless :smh:
I’m with you NaijaGal. I know it will make some mad, but I don’t buy the mental illness. I believe the illness is real, but I think it’s been used a crutch too.
Kdub, I bet somebody puts rae (no caps) outta his misery for how that baby is living now

Every few years the Charlotte Observer does a Where Are They Now piece on Chancellor (the baby)… I wouldn’t be surprised if one of her family members does it when he gets out. Her momma has had the time of her life with the death of her daughter and raising that baby with severe special needs.
I have followed that story from day ONE. That and Deidre/Fred Lane.

I’ve shared it before. It’s not that I have a problem sharing, but I have a real live headache right now. Long story short.
They were cheating. SHE got caught. He shot her. Killed himself 5 hours later. Her daughter and sister came in and found them. We had the double funeral on my 22nd bday.
@NAIJA
EXACTLY, THIS SPIN ON THE STORY MAKES A MONSTER APPEAR MORE HUMAN AND IS ONLY TO GAIN COMPASSION SO THAT HIS LEGACY HE LEFT BEHIND SEEMS LESS DAMAGING, BUT I AINT BUYING THIS SHIAT EITHER, YOUR ASSESMENT SEEMS MORE ACCURATE, THEN THE WEB SR AND THE MEDIA IS SPINNIG ABOUVE
And i’m pretty sure he’s told her things that would allude to his ass being crazy…Idk if it was calculated @Naija he just may have spazzed out cuz i’m pretty sure he had the gun legally
Too bad she saw his crazy on that fateful day. Gotta pay attention to the signs

I do not sympathize with him, but I beg to differ about his condition. I think he did suffer from some type of mental illness because normal people in our society do not commit these types of irrational acts. Most “normal” folks who have an argument do not end up killing the other person and him/her self. We are not wired that way when handling emotions and stressful situations. There were probably red flags long ago about his mental state, but he never sought the help necessary. That’s all I’m saying.
That’s the chance when you sign the dotted line to play football. From pee-wee all the way up to NFL. You’re literally putting your life on the line. People know this from day one.
This is definetely a very sad story. I see that the story states his mother will take custody of the baby….but, does Kasandra Perkins not have family members who would want to take custody???? If she has a mother and/father still living I can see this becoming a custody battle.
They may finally start trying to do something about.

Nope, it was just a matter of time tho
Not making excuses for what he ultimately chose to do. Just acknowledging there could be more to this than we know.
As for blaming the victim, that’s complete bullsht but it seems to be our society’s favorite pastime. Especially when the victim is a woman. Cause while we have almost none of the real power we are always the ones who should have been able to control the situation and saved ourselves.

Was this couple “a couple” before the baby? Just curious. Does anybody know their dating history?
Ain’t no way in hell that the killer’s momma should be raising that baby? Didn’t Kassandra have some family? Sheesh, a friend, a godparent, and damn dogwalker. Anybody would be better the mom of a killer.

It’s so many different stories. Some say it was HIS mama, some say it was HER mama. Either or, I just can’t imagine someone killing someone or themselves.
YEAH THEY DATED FOR 3 YEARS AND WERE INTRODUCED BY A TEAM MATE
You think his mom had something to do with her being killed?
@AllNYC, just curious, are you saying that the parents’ of serial killers are at fault for their childrens’ actions??

But its really not fair to blame his mom for his actions as a grown man. Im sure she will raise this child in a loving enviornment
I’m just glad he didn’t kill his mother or the child cuz this story could be way worse than what it is now. He gave his child a chance at life so there may have been issues that him and the girl were having that were intensified during this particular argument.
Again I
for the baby and his mother.
Him not killing everyone in the house says a lot imo.

ok, i know pro football hits have been likened to car accidents.
yes, it is a contact sport like boxing, which is also dangerous, but it's less dangerous now than it used to be. kids don't have a say in what they do or don't do, so it's on the parents whether they want to take that risk and allow their children to play. many of these parents want to live vicariously through their kids so they let them out there and the poor kids have to deal with the risks.
college guys want and need scholarships and they love the perks that come with it. they get punished the hardest for free. get your education, get the fugg outta the game, and go about your business.
pro players get PAID. i have no feelings for them. some of the kneegroes fugging up the game with these domestic violence charges and it don't have shyt to do with their heads. hell, i have migraines too. there has to be some personal responsibility for agreeing to play the game knowing what the consequences may be. with these players, there are females, money, babies, other family, pride, testosterone, debt, injury, stress, etc.

This is why I took my son out of football. We have yet to understand the long term effects of having your brain banging back and forth, 5 days out of 7, since you were 6 years old. In the last ten years, football players have been committing suicide on a regular.
I was listening to the Tom Joyner morning show and this was one of their discussion topics. They also felt that the NFL should have cancelled or postponed the Kansas city game. What do you think? Is it just about the money with the NFL or should the game have been cancelled or postponed?
What if the player had been a more “high profile” player…. Would the game have still been played?

It really is sad. Also, it may not have been any signs. The family could have told the truth. All it takes is one act of violence to end someone’s life. It appears he intended to kill her, he shot her multiple times then killed himself. He didn’t want her to have anyone else and he didn’t want to face his crimes. They had a murder here last week where the ex shot into the car with the ex-gf’s kids in the car. He killed her. If a man wants to track your every step. gets insanely jealous, RUN! We so caught up in the rapture, we lose focus.

Well they won so….what’s done is done imo. Its about to be playoff season so realistically speaking the game had to be played even though their record sucks ass.
The game going on shows that regardless of what, life goes on. The team decided to play. I like how they did a moment of silence for DV victims.

no doubt. however, football has been around for a long time. something else is happening; personally, i think PEOPLE’S COPING MECHANISMS are changing for the worse.
@ Gigi26…That’s a good possibility. How many times have you heard? If I can’t have you then nobody will.
She told him she was leaving him and filing for child support that fateful Saturday morning. She’d left him before, taking the baby with her to stay with friends. Maybe it was the tone of her voice or the look in her eyes that convinced him she meant it this time.

My mother always told me if you are gonna leave a man just leave. Don’t threaten to leave especially when it comes to child spport and custody issues. She said you never know what a person is capable of especially when it comes to money.

:cosgin: thought about this too…leave and let the courts handle it…all the back and forth is just a waste and we see the results

no doubt. however, football has been around for a long time. something else is happening; personally, i think PEOPLE’S COPING MECHANISMS are changing for the worse.

Football has been around for a while. But there was a time that the biggest player on the field was 6’2, 250 pounds, and runs a 4.70 in the 40 yard dash. NOW, that player would be considered a small, slow dude. Now they have guys 6’7 320 pounds, running a 4.50. With the size and the speed of the players today, when they collide with each other…it’s dangerous.

She told him she was leaving him and filing for child support that fateful Saturday morning. She’d left him before, taking the baby with her to stay with friends. Maybe it was the tone of her voice or the look in her eyes that convinced him she meant it this time.
IONO why people do that either! When they should be quietly plotting and planning their moves because I’d be too scared of getting a beatdown (for real!) during the argument.

^^This is my thought, Doesn’t have Anything to do with this story…
Him not killing everyone in the house says a lot imo.

I totally agree. You can say that he went over the edge, but he made the conscience decision to not harm his daughter or his mother. Then he was able to drive to a different place and then kill himself. He didn’t want his mother to see that.
ninjarider_sb says: I was listening to the Tom Joyner morning show and this was one of their discussion topics. They also felt that the NFL should have cancelled or postponed the Kansas city game.
***************************
the team actually voted to play. they did the right thing because they need to think of others involved in making the game happen as well. stadium workers, etc.
<–Doesn't Talk To Strangers says: Was this couple “a couple” before the baby? Just curious. Does anybody know their dating history?
*************************
supposedly 3 years w/problems.
I have never met a man that have said, “I will never, ever hit a woman” that did not eventually hit a woman.
This whole thing is so freaking sad. I don’t know the full story, but I dislike when people place blame on others or things to make themselves feel better about the situation. I pray for this baby who is now without both of her parents and to all both families who are both grieving.
Mental illness needs to stop being taboo in the African American community.
This post is making me sad thinking about that little girl who will never know her parents. All she will know is what people tell her and whats out on the internet.
Can we get a new post… maybe a RHOA recap so I can laugh at some of ya’lls comments?

When women are making these threats, they are really trying to give their man the opportunity to make it right. When you are really fed up, you pull a Katie Holmes the second his car pulls out of the driveway. The next communication that dude gets is from an attorney.
@IntenseMocha…you are so on point this bastid does not deserve a bit of sympathy. I am sure that the level of domestic violence in this relationship will continue to trickle out as the story develops, and there will be those that continue to send condolences to this a**hole. Fugg him, not 2 weeks ago a friends daughter died in the same way. Google Donella Clauschee. @SandraRose, so if the theory is that this was caused by the single mother household that this man was brought up in, how do you explain those men brought in female headed households that do not kill? Your theory is a crock of ish.
Have ya’ll noticed the ones that have never fathered or mothered a child a day in their lives always have the most to say about why child is a certain way

I’m saying that little girl doesn’t need to hear a bunch of excuses for what her dad did to her mother. That is what moms tend to do for their sons.
@Kevin….not quite that big and fast, but I get what you’re saying.
One of the problems is that some have been teaching and learning how to tackle the wrong way. No matter what you do you will still not get concussions out of a sport like this. Millions of ways to get concussions in football besides helmet to helmet contact.

it makes me SICK when people blame the victim. Parents need time alone. im gone refrain fo I get banned
******************************************************
While folks are always hollering about how a mother should be home with her children, a mother is ENTITLED to get out of the house for some time to breathe every now and then. And these weak azz mofo’s like ol’ boy who called himself a man always seem to get a pass by folks who don’t know shyt from shiolah but point the victim out as being the aggravator of a deadly situation, when in actuality this girl was more than likely simply going to a concert.
Then to say how women use children to milk these dudes financially is just the worst stereotype ever. Granted, there are some gold diggers, but what about the bastids that want to control a bish because he got a baby with HER? SHE can’t go anywhere, HER friends can’t come over, EVERYTIME she opens the blinds it’s a problem.
I call bullchyt. He was selfish, he was wrong, he did not have to kill her, if he was unhappy with his life he should have whacked his damn self and let her be.
I don’t see mental illness. I see an orchestrated hit on her by him, and I see his ponk azz choosing to die rather than go to jail.
This ain’t have shyt to do with the NFL.
I cant imagine . .
And dayum Hs mother couldnt talk him off the ledge,Pray god have mercy on his soul.
May Kasandra perkins Rest in Peace
AMEN KAYCEI!!
