00:00Tymere was the type of person that you could always depend on.
00:05Long as the people around him were sitting care of, that's all he cared about.
00:10Tymere and Rodney was like total opposites.
00:14Everything with Rodney was a joke. He never really took nothing real serious.
00:18Tymere always tried to just play the big brother role to Rodney.
00:23Rodney, he embraced that street life.
00:26I'm under arrest? Yes, I'm what?
00:28Rodney didn't care about nobody but Rodney.
00:31At the end of the day, my heart was shattered in a million pieces.
00:40He was begging for his life and his mother was begging for his life.
00:43He killed my baby.
00:45You can't get any more cold hearted than that.
00:47That is truly an evil person.
00:58It's summer 2021 and brothers Tymere and Rodney enjoy a day out with their family, making social media videos at a water park.
01:15I have seven children. Me and my kids did everything together.
01:18Tymere was three years older than Rodney.
01:21For the most part, they got along.
01:23But they was the typical brothers.
01:25Tymere always been like the clown, like he always been funny.
01:30Why you got the hat on? Because it's green?
01:35Tymere would make you laugh and smile all the time.
01:39Rodney, I call him like the aggravator. He just like to mess with people.
01:46I mean, we was a big family, so it was always fun.
01:57Tymere Dial-Hale is born on January 2000, but his parents separate soon after his birth.
02:03Shortly after the pregnancy, we kind of broke up and we never got back together.
02:09We just raised Tymere together.
02:11Tymere was a happy-go-lucky little baby.
02:15Like, it was a joy to have.
02:19Everybody in my family loved Tymere.
02:22He was a mama's boy. He was sweet.
02:26My fifth child, Rodney, was born November the 8th of 2003.
02:31I don't think it made a difference that they did not have the same father,
02:35because I feel like my kids grew up knowing they had the same mother.
02:40The boys fought.
02:42My house was always loud, because I had more boys than girls.
02:46They argued, they disagreed, and then they was right back playing together.
02:51I feel like they was normal kids and they loved each other, but of course they had disagreements.
02:57Tymere's a good brother. He was a really good brother.
03:00Like, he wanted us to do the right thing and stay on the right path and just be like our best selves.
03:09He was my little brother, but he was like a big brother.
03:12He always been a protector.
03:15When Tymere is 12 and Rodney is 8, their family gets even bigger when Pinky gives birth to her seventh child, Jeremiah.
03:26When I got pregnant with Jeremiah, I think everybody was upset.
03:30I think everybody was like, we don't want no more kids here.
03:34But as Tymere and Rodney become teenagers, their lives start to go in very different directions.
03:50Rodney was always wanting to be tough.
03:55Tymere and Rodney was like total opposites.
03:59Tymere learned at a young age that you got to hustle to get money.
04:04He would shovel snow.
04:06He would cut grass.
04:08He never tried to go down the street life road.
04:12But for Rodney, he embraced that street life, the street culture.
04:17That was what he wanted for itself.
04:22Tymere always talked to me about how he would talk to Rodney and try to get him to turn this life around.
04:31And he like pops, he just ain't listening to me.
04:34I'm like, ain't nothing you could do.
04:37Tymere always tried to talk to Rodney about doing the right things.
04:43But it went in one ear and out the other.
04:49Once he got out of high school, he was determined.
04:52And he would tell me every day, Mom, I'm doing this for you.
04:55You want me to have a diploma? I'm going to get it.
05:00I was extremely happy when Tymere graduated from high school.
05:04Rodney didn't really start misbehaving to maybe about fourth, fifth grade.
05:09He didn't want to be in school.
05:11And he was very disrespectful to teachers.
05:13And by 12th grade, he just completely dropped out.
05:16It was hard raising teenage boys all together.
05:20But Rodney was definitely the one that gave me the most problems.
05:28As siblings growing up, when Rodney was at home, he was a normal person.
05:32We were all seen together.
05:35I think Rodney put on a persona for the streets.
05:38It's me, Rodney, and my friend.
05:41This was around the time me and Rodney spent a good amount of time together.
05:45We used to go to the rec after school sometime and just be kids.
05:50I love that video.
05:53It's me, Rodney, and Rodney in that video.
05:56It was like a little TikTok trend.
05:59It was funny.
06:01That's another TikTok of me and Rodney comparing our features.
06:06I had to force him to do it because people always said that we looked alike a lot.
06:11I don't really think Rodney had, like, any long-term goals.
06:16I think he just lived day by day.
06:20Rodney couldn't keep a job because Rodney had did so much bad things in the streets.
06:28Rodney would shoot at people and people would shoot at Rodney.
06:33Rodney was scared to go certain places because of who he might run into.
06:42Tymere worked with me at the Market Hall.
06:45We were cleaning the building.
06:47But when Tymere came, he made it fun.
06:49He would laugh.
06:50He would be the highlight of everybody's day.
06:52Tymere was watching my kids that day, and I came back early, and they was under the
07:08cover.
07:09He was telling them a story.
07:10Once upon a time, there was this thing called a story.
07:15And back in the day, people told the stories.
07:17You know what I'm saying?
07:18Yeah.
07:19And I just started recording because I thought it was so cute.
07:24He was a real present uncle.
07:28Tymere's first impression was always good.
07:31Even when my friends met him, they would just be like,
07:34Yo, brother's so nice.
07:35He's so sweet.
07:36He was kind of flirtatious too.
07:42When me and Tymere first started chatting, it was through Instagram.
07:48Tymere just started putting hard eyes on my pictures, telling me how beautiful I look,
07:54and stuff like that.
07:56And the messages.
07:57He was like, you're cute.
07:58And I'm like, you're cute.
07:59And I'm just like, let's be cute together.
08:02We went on our first date in December of 2020.
08:06We went bowling.
08:07My first impression of Tymere was that he was really down to earth, like a very caring man.
08:14Tymere described Rodney as his younger, annoying brother that he loved.
08:19He would do anything for Rodney.
08:22The first time that I got on the phone with Tymere, Rodney came into the room.
08:28He pretty much did say, shut up, bitch, pretty much.
08:32And I was just like, who are you talking to?
08:34I don't have to shut up.
08:36And Rodney told me, I will be the **** without you.
08:40Rodney was definitely one of them boys that I would say I stayed away from.
08:46Rodney loved guns.
08:48He made it very clear that that was the life that he lived and the life that he loved to live.
08:54You never know what a person could do.
08:57As he had gotten older, he was not a person you would really want to be around.
09:03Rodney didn't care about nobody but Rodney.
09:07I think the whole family felt as if Rodney did have a problem.
09:12I believe that if you mix with the wrong people, bad things are going to happen.
09:24I'm looking at you.
09:32Tymere was working at a cleaning job at the Market Hall, Sugar Heights, Ohio.
09:42I ended up going to his house and meeting his mom and his family.
09:47And then we were inseparable.
09:50When Tymere first met Nina, it was fast.
09:53And she instantly moved in with us.
10:00Nina became a part of our family.
10:02I grew to love her like a sister.
10:04Me and Tymere, when we met, we started talking about kids roughly like six months in.
10:11It was fast paced.
10:12We having a baby!
10:14We having a **** baby!
10:17When Tymere found out I was pregnant, he was ecstatic.
10:20I think it's my name real quick.
10:22What's up, Daddy Chicken Dumpling?
10:26He was phenomenal throughout the pregnancy.
10:29Tymere never missed a beat when it came to our child, ever.
10:35He swore it was a boy.
10:37I knew it wasn't no boy.
10:39And I looked at him and said, you're going to cry when it's a girl.
10:43It's fall of 2021.
10:45And 21-year-old Tymere and 19-year-old Nina throw a gender reveal party for their family and friends.
10:52We all just came out to see what he was having.
10:56And he was determined to make sure that a truck had whatever color powder come out.
11:02Five, four, three, two, one.
11:07One!
11:13Oh my god!
11:15When the Pink Smoke came out, Tymere was mad.
11:26We're going right back!
11:27and he made a comment and he said that's okay Nina we gonna run it back it was the funniest
11:32thing because I was like dude you don't pick your kids your kids pick you Rodney didn't show up to
11:40the gender reveal but I think Tamir understood that his brother was in the streets and not
11:46family oriented like him Rodney just didn't care he just had this kind of like I don't care if you
11:53like me or not attitude at only 18 years of age Rodney is also about to become a father
12:01Rodney wasn't as excited as Tamir was to become a father Rodney was just oh it is what it is
12:08she's pregnant you know Rodney's son's mother they wasn't in a relationship I think Rodney
12:15probably wasn't as excited because Rodney didn't have anything he didn't have a job I don't think
12:21Rodney was prepared to care for a child Rodney was the type of person to get angry very quickly
12:28you say one little thing to him and he's going from zero to a hundred in a second
12:34when I was pregnant Jeremiah and Rodney were having a disagreement
12:42and Jeremiah was so much younger than him
12:46so I intervened and I did tell Rodney to stop that's your little brother Rodney did not like
12:52that Rodney got in my face threatening me screaming in my face I was fearful of him
12:59because for one he's a man and I'm pregnant and for two the aggression the look in his eyes he's angry
13:07I think Tamir and him they were cool after it you know they're brothers I would never try to get
13:12between brothers I didn't talk to Rodney for a couple months me and Tamir decided that we wanted
13:18to move into our own apartment because you know it was time we started our own family begin our own life
13:22me and Tamir moved into my apartment October 15th 2021
13:30I went into labor when Alani February 15th
13:36Tamir was just there the whole time rubbing my back talking me through it
13:41did end up doing emergency c-section he was there through it all
13:45Tamir was the first person to hold her
13:48first time that I seen Tamir really cradle Nalani and really get in father mode
13:57it warmed my heart he did most of the nurturing he did the most of the getting up in the middle of
14:07the night always made the bottles change the diapers because he knew that I was healing
14:13look right here I'm your daddy yeah Lonnie loved her dad he was a wonderful wonderful father
14:25you should have seen him with her he was amazing
14:34Rodney's day would consist of sleeping the majority of the day and then going outside
14:47so when you got your child you can't just sleep all day and then go outside
14:52I just don't believe Rodney was ready for a child sometimes I would be like you know get him
14:58but he would get his son and be so frustrated he didn't care what I said he was running with the
15:04wrong people
15:05it's March 2022
15:12Tamir and Rodney's younger brothers are driving through the city at night
15:16Tamir's younger siblings Rondell and Jeremiah were all in a car together with Rodney's girlfriend
15:24and the car was shot up
15:27I looked back to check on Jeremiah I said Jeremiah are you okay
15:32but when I looked back he was laying on the floor and he had blood on the back of his head
15:39at that point I knew he was hurt but I just didn't know where so I called and I went on and they came
15:47and he was like five cop cars in an ambulance they pulled him out the car laid him on the ground
15:57cut his clothes off
15:59Jeremiah was shot he was struck in his chest
16:03and twice in his legs and he was grazed three times
16:09Jeremiah should have never had to experience nothing like that
16:12I believe that they thought that Rodney was in that car
16:16and I believe that they maybe had a run-in prior to that
16:19and that was the outcome of it
16:22Jeremiah was 10 years old when he was shot
16:24he was in the hospital for a week
16:26but he was okay
16:29he didn't suffer any major damage
16:31Tamir was really hurt by it
16:34and Rodney was really hurt by it
16:35because Rodney felt like
16:37it was for him
16:39he kept saying that he wished he'd have been in the car
16:43we always told Rodney
16:44you need to put the gun down
16:46you need to do something better with your life
16:49Tamir definitely expressed to Rodney how he felt
16:54that he should try to change his life
16:58but Rodney just didn't want to hear it
17:01Rodney was disrespectful
17:03he didn't care what I said
17:05no matter how much I chased him
17:08no matter how much he did not care
17:10at all
17:10I feel as if Rodney was consistently
17:13putting his whole family in danger
17:15Rodney was a ticking time bomb
17:18waiting to go off
17:19as he got older
17:33Rodney did become more violent
17:35I don't know what it was
17:40that made him become that way
17:41an image he had to portray
17:44or if it was just really who he was
17:47I do think that
17:49at some times Rodney did think that
17:52Tamir was my favorite child
17:54it's not that Tamir was my favorite
17:58or that I loved him more
17:59but he was a little bit more responsible
18:01me and Rodney got into it
18:08at my mother's house
18:09it started over something petty
18:12and he said that he was going to go put his gun up
18:15and come back downstairs
18:17and hit me
18:18and that's what happened
18:21he came downstairs
18:22and he hit me
18:24so I hit him back
18:26I remember the police pulling up
18:30and they arrested both of us
18:32and we both were in jail together
18:34when I found out that Rodney did put his hands on Yana
18:40and they were both in jail
18:41I knew then
18:43that
18:44he didn't care
18:46about anything
18:48I knew then that
18:50he could harm someone
18:52I
18:53stayed away from Rodney
18:55for the most part
18:56for a couple months
18:57I just felt like
18:58I didn't want me or my baby around that
19:01but Tamir
19:03is busy focusing on his career
19:05and providing for his family
19:07Tamir started working security
19:09at a school
19:10at a charter school
19:11he would come home
19:14every day
19:15with a story
19:16and he would just be so excited
19:18about how he
19:19impacted some child's life
19:21he was a security
19:24officer at the school
19:26with me
19:27he was a natural
19:29like the kids loved him
19:31they really truly loved Tamir
19:34I believe that Rodney
19:37had some type of jealousy
19:38or envy
19:39I believe he was probably
19:41jealous of Tamir's whole life
19:43Rodney
19:46got in a lot of trouble
19:47but it's hard to just say
19:48oh I give up on my child
19:49because he is my child
19:50I guess I was just
19:52being a mother
19:53and thought that
19:54that was the right thing to do
19:55to just still love him
19:56regardless
19:56I think Rodney
19:58wanted my attention
19:59so he would get it anyway
20:00even if it was in a negative way
20:02in July 2023
20:06Wycliffe Police Department
20:08receive another 911 call
20:10about Rodney
20:11911 what's your emergency?

20:29his name is Rodney Curley
20:31he's just harassing her
20:33so she said that he has his gun
20:35did he show it to her?
20:36yes
20:36Rodney called me
20:39and asked me to come
20:40pick him up from a hotel
20:42once I got close to the hotel
20:45I seen a bunch of police cars
20:47and from what they said

21:35sit back down
21:36sit back down
21:38sit back down Rodney
21:40it's really sickening to me
21:42that any man could be violent to a woman
21:45he was arrested
21:46Rodney went to jail for about two days
21:48and he was put on probation
21:49for Rodney to actually put his hands on
21:54a woman that is carrying a child
21:56his child at that
21:58was mind boggling
22:00that's when I did start to see that Rodney was spiraling
22:04I started to see Rodney being
22:07more angrier
22:08evil
22:09mean
22:10I think Tymere gave up on trying to tell Rodney to be different
22:14I thought
22:18if I move out of the neighborhood
22:20I could keep him from trouble
22:22getting a new house
22:24it's starting over
22:25it was hard finding a house
22:27because of Rodney
22:28because it was like
22:29everywhere that I look for a house
22:32Rodney would say
22:33I can't live there
22:34so Rodney said he had ops
22:36that means he has enemies
22:37after like maybe
22:39like a couple of months
22:40of searching for a house
22:41I'm at the point where I'm like
22:42we gonna be homeless in the minute
22:44if I keep on turning down houses
22:45so I just decided to take the house
22:47moving day arrives for Pinky and her family
22:54Tymere left for work
22:56so we started back in the U-Haul
22:59but to me Rodney was like
23:00a little off
23:02he would see a car
23:03and he would be like
23:03who is that?
23:04you know every time
23:05so he was a little jumpy
23:06probably about
23:073.30
23:084 o'clock
23:09I dropped Rodney off
23:11at the old house
23:12when I got back to the old house
23:14Tymere and Nina was pulling up
23:16she said she had to work
23:19and I'm like
23:19I'll take the baby
23:20when I got to the new house
23:23Tymere came with the air conditioner
23:25it was fairly hot
23:26Tymere said
23:27I'm gonna take this air conditioner upstairs
23:28and Rodney says
23:29don't take all that stuff upstairs

30:24three more times
30:25Rodney

30:29like
30:30to me
30:31and
30:32I ran around
30:32the other side
30:33of the U-Haul
30:33because I felt
30:34like he would
30:35shoot me
30:35he was running
30:38down the street
30:39and
30:40I laid on the ground
30:41next to Tamir
30:42and he died
30:43in my face
30:43we learned
30:48that the victim's
30:49one year old daughter
30:50was on scene
30:51and present
30:52during this incident
30:53which is
30:54adds to the tragic
30:55nature of this case
30:57we all have families
30:59we all have kids
31:01I have four kids
31:01and seven grandkids
31:03and you immediately
31:04start thinking
31:05you think about
31:16your family
31:17he killed my baby
31:20this family has seen
31:31a lot of tragedy
31:32at the hands
31:33of this individual
31:34it was imperative
31:35that we got him
31:36in custody
31:37as quickly
31:38and as safely
31:39as possible
31:39so the key now
31:41is that we need
31:42to talk to him
31:43right
31:43find him
31:44yeah
31:44and make it
31:46everything safe
31:47as safely
31:48we can't
31:49you have any idea
31:50where he might be
31:50she was able
31:52to give us
31:53a couple of locations
31:54where Rodney
31:55may have fled to
31:57she didn't know
31:58the address
31:59but she provided
32:00a screenshot
32:01of a map
32:02that may be
32:04the location
32:05or the area
32:05that he fled to
32:06that information
32:08was immediately
32:09disseminated
32:10to the officers
32:12out on the street
32:12so after we leave
32:36the scene
32:37we try to learn
32:38as much as we can
32:39about Rodney Curley Jr.
32:42police know
32:45Rodney is armed
32:46and dangerous
32:47I thought maybe
32:50Rodney would come
32:51back to the house
32:52and I was the only
32:52witness
32:53you know
32:53I was the only
32:54person that could
32:55really say
32:55he was the person
32:56who did this
32:57he had already
32:59killed his brother
33:00so it was like
33:01if you would kill
33:02your brother
33:02you're capable
33:04of killing
33:04anybody else
33:05a week after
33:20Timir's death
33:21his brother
33:22Rodney Curley Jr.
33:23remains at large
33:25when they interviewed
33:26us on the news
33:27I basically just
33:28wanted to tell
33:29Rodney to turn
33:30yourself in
33:30so that
33:32not only would
33:33he be safe
33:34but other people
33:35would be safe
33:35as well
33:36turn yourself in
33:37don't hurt
33:39anybody else
