The brother of Olympic gold medal gymnast Simone Biles is charged with murder after he shot and killed three people at a party at an AirBnB rental apartment in Cleveland, Ohio eight months ago.
Police say a fight broke out when uninvited guests arrived at a party at a $155 per night AirBnB apartment rental above a pizza shop on New Year’s Eve in Cleveland.
Three people were killed when Tevin Biles-Thomas allegedly opened fire inside the crowded apartment.
The victims were identified as Devaughn Gibson, 23, DelVaunte Johnson, 19, and Toshon Banks, 21. Two others were injured in the shooting.
Biles-Thomas, 24, was arrested on Thursday at Fort Stewart in Georgia, where he was on active duty with the U.S. Army. He is being held without bond at Liberty County jail pending extradition back to Cleveland.
Police did not disclose the evidence that led them to suspect Biles-Thomas was the shooter.
“The relentless persistence of Cleveland police homicide detectives helped secure an indictment in this case,” Cuyahoga County Prosecutor O’Malley told Cleveland.com.
Simone Biles, 22, was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. She is the third of three siblings.
Her birth mother, Shanon Biles, was an alcoholic and drug addict who was unable to care for Biles and her siblings. The four children were placed in foster care, then adopted by family members.
In a tweet after the news broke of her brother’s arrest, Biles wrote, “eating my feelings don’t talk to me.”
Instagram and Twitter trolls immediately flooded her timelines with hateful comments.
One IG user wrote, “Your brother is a murderer and your parents are drug addicts you call your grandparents “mom and dad” you used drugs and covered it up as ADHD, wow some drama you are.”
Damn, poor Simone. I hope this doesn’t affect her career. They look alike.
That troll must be really unhappy to come at that girl like that
WOW the devil social media platform is tearing down this poor girls page because of a stupid decision her brother made.
And her parents… Can’t let her have a story of triumph in peace… Geesh
Disgusting… I hope she doesn’t read any of it ?
Whoever wrote that comment need mental help
Sad all around although to come at Simone for her brothers wrongdoing is totally unfair! ! We have no control over what our family members do!
People on social really do the most…imagine how miserable ones life must be to leave a comment like that…
The internet is a gift and a curse. You can be whoever you want to be. Those invisible keyboard thugs and gangsters are something else. In person, they’re asses wouldn’t or couldn’t buss a grape and quiet as a church mice.
Another Pookie Ray-Ray doing the most.Just lock his azz up!
Oh my…
I hope her support system is giving her what she needs right now, whether that’s a little space, a listening ear, ice cream, encouragement, therapy, or whatever.
I hate people. And social media
I never understood why people attack/blame the family members of criminals. Her and her brother are two separate people, it’s not her fault that he’s a murderer. Some people on the internet are nasty. Poor girl, this too shall pass.
I hate people sometimes.
If I was her, I wouldn’t even waste any of my hard-earned money on his legal fees. Let him get a public defender. ?
That was a special kind of wicked. That “IG user” needs therapy and their keyboard taken away.
And it’s usually some poor loser, with no job skills and and using the computer in their mama’s basement, who’s taking all this smack about other people’s lives.
I don’t hate people, but sure hate the things they do & say! That was totally uncalled for.
As far as sm, it can all go “Poof” away. All Twitter servers can go up in smoke and I don’t know why Donald Trump hasn’t been Banned.
Words hurt…and sometimes for a lifetime.
So unfortunate…smdh
Simone(whom I sat across from at The Espy Awards) complexion looked darker in person. But she had a nice body & charismatic personalty. U never know what a person is going through by looking from the outside.
This! But dare if you try to save money on a hopeless case. Bump that smh. he wasn’t thinking about no one but himself when he did it.
Simone also has a younger sister, named Adria. Therefore she is not the youngest of 3 children!
When I first heard about this……I said then,peeps were gonna drag Simone because of the actions of her brother….some folks are just str8 ignint
Simone and Simone’s brother were raised in two different households. Simone and Simone’s baby sister were raised by their grandfather and his wife. Simone’s brother and older sister were raised by their mother.
She seems like a nice person.
Her life and success has nothing to do with her brother and what he choose to do with himself…she needs to keep on shining and better not pay his legal fees…just put some money to his book cause he’s going away fa LIFE…
Of course —you’re absolutely correct. Miserable asses..you already know.
I don’t get it. I just can’t. Whyyyy would you indiscriminately shoot into a crowd of ppl?
Was the military that bad?
Damn bro could joy love eis enough to not drag drama to his celebrity sister’s name. I pray thsy does not hurt what she has going. Be strong sis. They do not define u
Didn’t I just say these family folks loosing it chile https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/78fe528e588ef80cf4b83bd4d433d0502af7479e195512c4e9ced5a7327a6ca7.gif I can not make this shyt up …… if they toxic …. cut their azzes off child …. mama … uncle cousin …… chile if not you will fall with em …. and That’s a fact (8)
These jealous racist trolls just looking for an opening to attack us. They can’t stand that the greatest gynnist of all time is a black women. They can’t stand that lebron and the NBA and nfl is now overwhelmingly black and we’re taking stands. They can’t stand that Obama was president of the United States. They can’t stand that Serena is the greatest athlete of this era. These ppl been told all their life how superior they are they can’t stand to see us winning while they had advantage and still losing.
Ignorant people are gonna be ignorant. None of us have control over what blood relatives do, especially if you didn’t grow up around them; bottom line is she is a BEAUTIFUL BLACK GIRL WHO’S AN OLYMPIC MEDALIST.
Indeed,Agreed !
Seems like he was doing the right thing in the military. Its sad, lets see what happens
They can’t stand it but at the end of the day they still don’t have two nickels to rub together worried about the repo man towing away their trailer home (this does happen) while we keep on being great. Those trolls have won and done absolutely nothing of value their entire lives – if they died tomorrow no one would miss them.
Thugs in the military too, smh.
Growing up in two households make a difference. My family did and we are as different as night and day.
She can’t be blamed or held accountable for what her brother allegedly did. Unfortunately the sad thing is she is the famous face/name and people will go after her for his deeds and the deeds of her entire family.
I really want us to get away from being so angry that we’re ready to throw everything away… for nothing. Can we just get back to fist fighting?
Agreed. Dragging her into it simply sensationalizes the story.
I could just go upside his knucklehead and we’re not even kin. ?
That tweet that was posted was just down right mean. What do she have to do with her brothers actions? The keyboard bullies are out of control these days. It’s easy to hide behind a computer and say mean spirited things to people and get away with it. Sad world we live in today!
Despite all the drama that B.A.N. poster pointed out, Simone STILL became a champion so P*SS off!?
Most kids can’t do that these days. That was OUR era!! (Knuckle sandwich) We duked it out and lived to tell about it. The worst of it was getting jumped or brass knuckles being used.They are quick to get a weapon because they scared to get their tails whipped.
Or they will get that two piece put on them and come back with a gun. Take your azz whipping like a man and go home and be better for it.
That was a mean mean IG tweet.
FACTS!
That thing has me on fire. I mean the nerve!!!!!
Wow. Whoever wrote that comment to her on IG is a piece of shit ! What an ugly thing to say to someone. It’s not her fault that her mother was an addicted and her brother was ACCUSED of murder. My grandmother and grandfather took care of me. I proudly call them mom and dad, I pay their bills every month and will continue to do so until the end of time. People say some real ugly things on the internet. Then he accused her of being a drug cheat. Have you noticed that when blacks do well in a white-dominated sport, they want to accuse blacks of drug cheating ? Pathetic. I hope Simone is doing okay
“Your brother is a murderer and your parents are drug addicts you call your grandparents “mom and dad” you used drugs and covered it up as ADHD, wow some drama you are.”
———————-
Why was this necessary? If you’re this damn miserable seek professional help! ?. This was an attempt to break her spirit. They always try to bury us but they tend to forget that we’re seeds. Growth is inevitable #blackgirlmagic #championstatus
Not just throw it away but melt it down til the grooves disappear!
Generations of the recent past didn’t have as much access to guns as this generation does. Not to mention that there was also somewhat of a stronger moral component at home that seems to be fading away.
Tennis is NEXT! These beautiful, young black girls I blazing through tennis. Taylor Townsend finally had a breakthrough yesterday. I hope more black boys will get into tennis.
She did that. She’s in the history books now. Tough stuff though, tough!!!
?
WE are the only race that bears the guilt of our family’s guilt as if WE are the ones that committed said crime. FOH satan and leave this wonderful young superstar alone!! Jealously is a mo-fug!!
In fact, they wouldn’t buss a grape in a fruit fight wearing combat boots, staggering drunk..!!
Exactly! His sin has nothin to do with her..people so damn hateful n nasty
And miserable as hell. That comment speaks volumes!! Who hurt u?!?!?
amen!
“…..Police did not disclose the evidence that led them to suspect Biles-Thomas was the shooter.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I bet the owners of this AirBnB had cameras inside the unit? when they all say they don’t. Interesting this happened some time ago and the charges months later are “manslaughter”, I wonder was it self defense ?
Its hate..cause of what she’s accomplish..anything to make someone feel less of a person smh
I agree with that. Grandparents were instrumental in our lives back then. Big momma’s and Pop Pop’s seem non-existent these days.
I can’t believe the comments, people are cruel!!
OMG… WHY THEY MESSING WITH THIS GIRL…. SHE IS NOT THE CAUSE OF HER BROTHERS ACTIONS..I BET IT’S WHITE PEOPLE SAYING THAT ISH!!! FOH!
All the while THEIR children shoot up the entire school.
Demonic……
Morality and value of life is instilled by naturing mothers at early age, fathers instill discipline, Sunday school helps to maintain moral values. These young blk boys are void of any morals as their mothers failed miserably and have done a terrible job raising kids. Thou shall not kill and other commandments are taught at early age. He murdered 3 people close to his age and those in the party moved on for 9 months without reporting him, shows the morals of everyone there. Black mothers can you stop this from womb to jail or grave cycle.
But this crime has affected 3 black families, we have to bear the blame and do something to take our community back.
American women’s tennis is in good hands for sure.
True.

DAM…! So people on here ignore her f&cked up brother who killed 3 people and go on about the “people” who criticized her? This is the way many times black folks try to escape responsibility and bad news by ignoring the elephant in the room. This girl comes from a messed up family and she’s in the spotlight. She’d better learn how to deal with it…I’m Out…BYE…!
His crime does have anything to do with her. They didnt call him an Olympic gold medalist becasue his sister won medals, so people shouldnt be calling her drug addicts and murders because of her moma and daddy. Thats like is Nicki Minaj is a rapist cause her brother is?
When you are doing well, the enemy always show up some kind of way. Biles-Thomas is on active duty! Ninja may have just ruined his entire career. Makes me wonder if his life was in danger for him to fire shots like that.
I hope Simone Biles is still able to focus on her career and keep moving forward.
Fatally shooting three people that’s a terrorist attack!
I see what you’re saying. My siblings and I were brought up in Sunday School. We were taught so much as such a young age. People use to think my brother would be out here robbing and killing. I’m the oldest of my mom’s kids and my brother is in his early thirties and I beat the breaks off of him. I don’t take no mess from him. He listens more to me than my mother because I have never played with him, even when we were younger.
You won’t be missed https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2cd5fe948abc23a2444abee3b9f72836f2af97e53735a7938fc0a32093975a10.gif
Seems it is a curse!
That’s the job of the enemy to kill, steal, and destroy. This girl is making history! Ain’t nobody mad but the devil!
No. This was a hot blooded murder. Terrorists attack and murder in cold blood with premeditation. Now troll on…
Sad. I went to high school with the mother Shannon, she was petite, athletic just like Simone. When I watch Snowfall, Mel’s character reminds me of her. She was an All State athlete, her and her brother were the fastest kids in town. Something was definitely going on in that house
The troll is secretly a fan to know that much about the girl. heck I didn’t even know she came from a hard background.
Truth! I think I’m going to reach out to her myself. Shyt kinda pissed me off
Indeed!
Me blaming this highly accomplished girl for her brother’s actions is like me blaming whoever raised you for your lack of logic… I’m sure they did their best smh
Not her fault her brother is garbage. He did that all on his own. If the sister could make it out of Blackistan, how come her brother couldn’t d better in life?
What happen with Mel this week, I missed it on Wed?
Exactly !!!
You should!
And that is what we like to call a clap back. Bravo!!!!! Lol!
Why should WE bear the blame?? I have never heard any white person say they bear the blame for any of the multiple mass shooters. Let’s agree to disagree.
My fave gif! Good job
There’s always that ONE FAMILY MEMBER that messes up everything..they should’ve shipped his ARSE out of the country a long time ago…MESSING UP HER SHINE..SMH!!!!!
She seems like she’s done with her rebellious crackhead faze. That’s a sick ass faze btw. Most kids just get a tattoo, piercing , etc. Too bad though…
Three people are dead.
They were close. Birds of a feather. She acts like a snob which is why she never really became a household name.
Lolooo! Btw CONGRATS on the new job! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0d0c41809d0d308955a975dca4ac59091631b48882433707f2cf630bfd58f48c.gif

I completely understand. I’m not ignoring that fact. My condolences to their families, unfortunately to Biles-Thomas, his life, career, and the lives of these three individuals were all worth it.
Ok good. Thanks for the info
Just went to her page and they are really trolling her. At this point, she needs to disable all comments and make private. Assholes:(
Black women have to take the fault in everything, huh? This is a grown man. As an adult, he has to take accountability of his own actions, regardless of how good or bad his upbringing was.
I just wanted to make this comment. Isn’t it funny how hypocritical these people are? If there was a news report that her brother had made millions from starting his own business they would be saying “it must run in the family. She successful too.” But because this n//gga killed 3 people they saying “what her brother did had nothing to do with her” They’re all two-faced. There’s no truth in them. F!*ck’ em….!
She got out of Blackistan but her stupid ass brother stayed!! Black women always take the brunt when black males fuck up. She’s not his mama she’s not responsible for his actions.
You’re an idiot
This exactly why you couldn’t pay me to go to a house party. Aint been to one since high school. No matter the age range, house parties always attract the bottom of the barrel.
The brother is a dl gay man fightings with his emotions
And how many of those dummies have a relative in jail at this very moment? And they don’t got the balls to say a damn thing in public. What’s sad is there are probably a few self-hating coons trolling her too, would give their left today/nut to be in white. God I can’t imagine living like that, negative every damn day of the year. https://media3.giphy.com/media/8PvoKNo1ejolwyn489/giphy.gif
WOW! SHAME on all of you who posted vile, malicious comments about this young lady. Did you not see all of her Beauty, Talent, Grace, Power, Confidence, Strength and Elegance a couple of week ago in gymnastics competition? Besides, WHAT did Simone do to deserve such hate? C’mon People. Be Better.
Love you….PREACH!!!!!
It was really an ugly thing to say.
??
Well I agree with you mainly. I don’t go to house parties in the hood or in Blackistan. If I go to a black house party I would rather be around the grandmas and granddaddy’s? older black people seem to have more sense!!
Girl! They ain’t nothing but a bunch of ignorant fools. Simone has been killing it. She will go down as one of the greatest gymnast of all time.
She is a household name and one of the greatest gymnast of all time. Your fraudulent behind tried it boo!!
Troll alert!! ?
??
Eat a mouth full of flesh. He should be considered a domestic terrorist if you murder over a certain # of people…
Hot blooded murder?? . You loser this isn’t a romance novel 1 person is too many. Some of you low brow People so use to murder ?????.. normalizing somebody killing three people. Losers
No I’m attorney I’m speaking about the law…there are 4 types of murder. But imma let you finish…watch law & order and get back to me. Be sure to look up terrorist definition and share his political agenda with these murders as well
Social Media AINT for the faint of heart BUT, unfortunately, that is the price you pay for having MILLIONS of followers..
As for her brother, he managed to stay out of jail for damn near 8 months.. Do the crime, do the time??
Hey Sandra… I think its about time to look into the Rose garden’s “newest?” member… Spewing all the Black people this, black people that MESS!
Ol girl or Ol boy is looking for attention by ANY MEANS NECESSARY(Poor thing) and I believe is in need of a GOOD medical minute about Attention whoring.. Just a suggestion.. Enjoy you weekend!
I see FSGA (Fort Stewart, Ga) is still wild. When I was stationed there, people got shot at, shot up, or stabbed in clubs SMH. That was almost 20 years ago I initially stepped foot on FSGA, Liberty County. Wow, he is about to get hit hard. Court-martial proceeding for you, sir.
Very sad, he’s black, so no one will have any understanding how he was probably a drug or crack baby, perhaps, physically or sexually abused, as he lived a traumatic childhood! No excuse, he knew right from wrong, but there is a backstory!
This is NO reflection on Simone! Some WP love incidents like this when we dare to cross into predominantly “whites only” sports, territories they believe they own! This is no blemish on her massive achievements!
It should be domestic terrorism idgaf what or who you are? Murdering 3 people that’s ridiculous. people so desensitized .. yuck
He’s not a terrorist without a political agenda. I told you the law I didn’t voice a personal opinion about the crime you did. You are uneducated and ignorant…yuckier
Smoking crack with Wanda.
The saddest thing about this situation is that 3 people were killed.Everything else is secondary.
Not Gma and PopPop ???. Now that sound like a summertime cookout. I’ll go to one of those and roll out before it get dark and everybody’s liquor kick in?
That’s right. I love hanging out with my elders???? they’re very peaceful know how to get buzzed and have good food no fighting!!
Who?
Every family has a black sheep, show me a perfect family. Simone tell those trolls to kiss your ass & keep doing your lil cartwheels.
I think a lot of trolls here are simply paid FBI CoINTELPRO virtual employees. Why ostensibly white men & women even frequent a blog clearly geared to black women should ring alarm bells.
How do YOU know SHE KNEW what he did? IF HE EVEN DID IT? What happened to presumption of innocence UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY? Or does that only apply to white folk? We see how that ended for the Central Park Five and enumerable other cases over the years. I’m sure the Central Park 5 are not the only ones either, just in NYC alone. And if do the crime, do the time was so simple, MOST white western/US/Apartheid Israel so-called leaders would be wearing prison uniforms right now.
Precisely why they are playing the guilt by association game with her. Can’t find shi$$ on her so they trot out her brother, who has just been CHARGED & not convicted of any crime.
How do you know, did you sleep with him? Where are people getting this stupid shi!?!!
Like the US govt & Apartheid Israel?
And funny people saying he’s a terrorist & murderer (NO TRIAL HAS PROVEN ANYTHING YET) but I bet these same people wouldn’t have any problem with him being a terrorist and/or murderer in the name of the US & under the American flag. Total hypocrites. Use vets as cannon fodder and throw them away when they get back while the VA gives them the run around and all the funding goes to administrators. If he did do it, claim PTSD.
Black Mothers are NOT PARTHENOGENETIC anymore. Black men are providing the sperm and bear equal responsibility for their seeds.
Of course, Who else?
If it’s a supposed curse, I wonder what white folk’s curse is going to look like? A zillion times worse.
And the US Army who happily/deliberately turned him into a killer (IF THE ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE) should bear responsibility first. A lot of these vets come back from combat with PTSD and don’t get treatment from the VA b/c they don’t give a fucc about them once they are used on the field. Given about as much consideration as used toilet paper. I’m a vet so I speak from experience not conjecture.
You notice the word ALLEGEDLY is never used with us. The presumption of guilt. There has been no trial and we should all remember the Exonerated 5 and God knows how many other convicted innocents who were later exonerated and released from prison. Just b/c the gestapo SAY he’s guilty doesn’t mean it’s true. I expect this crap from white folk but when WE parrot that sh!!! it really pisses me off.
While they squander what DL Hughley called “a 400 year head start” by escaping into opoids b/c they can’t cope. Weak, defective bastids.
MOST white western/US/Apartheid Israel so-called leaders would be wearing prison uniforms right now.”
You better tell it!!!!

If you feel the need to take a gun to a party then maybe you need to stay home especially since drinking is usually involved . Too many people don’t know just how to go out and have a good time without fighting and drama. Simone has risen above her circumstances of course the overwhelming volume and of mentally unstable Americans would attack her
America has a mental health crisis that isn’t being addressed also l think it’s hard for many to feel worth in a time when money and material things seem to hold more value than human lives
Hughley drops gems!
???
Edited to add… I commented that Simone knew that her brother committed those crimes as if she isnt busy taking her craft to Epic levels so for that, I misspoke!
As for the dude committing the crimes, there was VIDEO and witnesses that said that they saw HIM shoot THEM.. So… ?
Also, in regards to the the Central Park Five, NOBODY but the Crooked people you saw in that documentary believed those boys raped that lady! I lived not too far from where that happened so I saw what was going on REAL TIME so MISS ME with that mess you are spewing! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d19f02a4fbf81f05fd9c26bb25a734af4c017e6460a75000de8891c1c50c4341.gif
It REALLY was! There are people like that use what they know or THINK they know about you and your family against you in the most ATROCIOUS way! Wicked is right!
The Billionaire Boys Club were crooks. They misled, used money fraudulently that did not belong to them.
3 lives were taken. A party supposed be fun not deadly.
I hope this doesn’t tarnish Simone’s image in any way bc she is sooo talented and it would be a shame if ppl focus more on what her brother did than on her amazing gift!
It’s distracting.
He probably will claim PTSD. I hate that all of their families now have to get through this tragedy.
Maybe so. A lot of people don’t break the curse, they let that thing break them…. drugs, suicide, etc.
You apparently misunderstood my point on the Central Park 5. I meant that they were presumed guilty from the beginning by many & we know now that was not the case. That was my point about presuming Simone Biles brother is guilty just b/c the gestapo charged him with the crime.
These HATERS look for any reason to go after her!
Simone Biles has won more medals than the Caucasian gymnasts… they have named routines after her!
This alone attracts haters to bring her down!They will do this in any way they can!
I’m not thinking about her stupid brother…TEAM SIMONE all day everyday!
she is not about that life. good for her. her family is trash but she rose above that thug stupid mentality. keep your head up girl and turn off that twitter and facebook garbage. nobody needs that negative shit. get your gold medals SIMONE.
Name that person…
Wait…what?!
THANK YOU
So so so….Serial Killers, spree killers, COPS killing folks…do their families get blamed for the actions of those psychos? REALLY?
