Over the holiday weekend, a tragedy took place in Colorado.
Two estranged exes both died — both murdered.
Police discovered their son’s body at a second location. He appeared to have taken his own life.
They believe that it was he, Glenn Allen Beeman III, who committed a double-murder-suicide.
On Saturday, April 4, the Pueblo Police Department released a chilling statement.
“At approximately 1:01 a.m. on April 4, 2026, Pueblo Police Officers were dispatched to the 1200 block of E. 4th Street following reports of a shooting,” the statement began.
“ShotSpotter had identified multiple gunshot rounds prior to the 911 call,” the announcement added.
“Upon arrival,” police reported, “officers discovered two deceased individuals: one in the roadway and the other inside a vehicle.”
Those were later identified as the bodies of Glenn Allen Beeman Jr., 40, and Amanda Leigh Manion, 41.
“While gathering information on the scene to include suspect information,” the police announcement reads, “the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to a separate incident.”
This was an incident “in Pueblo West with male who had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
At this time in 2025, Pueblo had only experienced two confirmed homicides.
It was natural to suspect that three fatal shootings within the span of hours were not coincidental.
“Preliminary information is that this deceased male is the suspect from the double homicide,” the announcement shared.
Later, the Pueblo County Coroner identified the victims as Beeman Jr. and as Manion.
Only later did police learn that the man whom they had identified as “the suspect from the double homicide” would have such an obvious link to the victims.
He was 19-year-old Glenn Allen Beeman III.
Just a couple of months ago, Manion celebrated his birthday — albeit with odd phrasing — on social media.
Police emphasize that the investigation into all three deaths is still ongoing.
When a young adult child murders both parents, there can be various motives.
The most common cause is abuse — either by one or both parents, or for which they blame the parents (such as by a family friend or religious mentor). However, that is not an exhaustive list.
It seems clear that the motives in this crime were not financial. If the crime involved substance abuse or mental illness, investigators have not divulged that at this time.
However, for the moment, instead of speculating wildly, we should remember that these are only preliminary findings. Investigators could discover that Beeman III was not the culprit, or that something else happened. We don’t know!
For now, extended family are grieving a senseless tragedy. Our thoughts are with them at this time.

Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren recently welcomed their fifth child, and first son. Choosing his name wasn’t easy. In fact, Rhett admits they were still deciding on a middle name when they arrived at the hospital. Eventually, their baby boy’s full name, Brave Elijah, came to them in an unexpected spark of inspiration and quickly became deeply meaningful for the couple.
Back in January 2025, the couple had planned to pack up their family and move to Uganda for a year, and they were also considering adopting another child. However, over Father’s Day weekend that year, they received a positive pregnancy test, and suddenly all of their plans changed. Rhett recently co-hosted a weekend of Country Countdown U.S.A. with Lon Helton, where he reflected on the unexpected news and shared the story behind the name Brave Elijah.
He explains they had been procrastinating on choosing what to call their first baby boy. Then the idea for Brave came to Rhett while enjoying a glass of wine.
“The name of the wine was Mount Brave. So I asked Lauren about the name Brave for a boy. We loved what that word meant for a boy or girl,” he revealed.
Once they agreed on the first name, the next big decision was the middle name. Again, Rhett happened to find himself come across a name that struck a chord with him and felt just right as it held a deep connection to something the couple values highly in their life: faith.
“We were in the hospital, they gave us the birth certificate, and we still didn’t have a middle name. I was reading Elijah’s story in the Bible, and he led an incredible life. So we settled on Brave Elijah,” Rhett told Helton.
Brave is the couple’s fifth child, joining their four daughters: Willa Gray (10), Ada James (8), Lennon Love (6), and Lillie Carolina (4). The “After All The Bars Are Closed” singer says they were trying to get pregnant one more time, but he never imagined that after four girls in their home, he would finally get a son. This time, the couple chose not to find out the baby’s gender until birth, and when their child was born in February, he was truly surprised.
“It’s surreal. I thought after our 4th girl, it wasn’t in the cards for me to have a boy,” he admitted. “When we were in the hospital, I thought it was gonna be another girl. Having that surprise was one of the coolest moments in my life. He’s a big baby, he was ten pounds, my wife is a super-hero.”
Rhett also stated that being a family of seven has “been a blast” and jokingly added that they are lucky to have so many “built in big sister babysitters.”
When Helton asked if they are officially done having children now, Rhett responded that five kids has always been Lauren’s “magic number” so they don’t currently don’t have plans to add any more to the bunch.
“I don’t think we’re gonna have any more kids. But it was the coolest thing in the world not to know if it was a boy or girl. I have never been more surprised. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but so worth it.”
For now, Thomas Rhett has been finding a balance of soaking up the newborn snuggles at home and spending time at the studio to work on his next record. He shared his hopes to put out a song or two sometime between April and May and then release an entire album by the end of the year.
“I’ve been writing for a year and a half for this project. I feel the word on this next project is timeless. I’m thinking on making a short record, only ten songs, and let’s go with that,” he shared.
Plus, he’s set to embark on THE SOUNDTRACK TO LIFE TOUR, kicking off July 9 in Nashville, TN.

NOTN- Juneau officials are asking residents to weigh in on how millions of dollars collected from cruise ship passengers should be spent in the coming year.
The City and Borough of Juneau has released draft recommendations for allocating Marine Passenger Fee revenue and is accepting public comments through May 3.
Each cruise visitor to Juneau pays $13 in fees, which must be used for projects that support the tourism industry or address its impacts on the community.
“Really what people need to know is we get $13 per passenger, and that these funds are restricted on how they can be used.” Said Tourism Manager Alex Pierce, “Every year I get messages that are like, ‘how come we can’t spend this money on my street in the valley, busses drive on it, and it needs to be repaved, and I want to spend passenger fees there.’ The funds are actually restricted by the US Constitution. So under the US Constitution, the fees have to serve the vessel itself. That gets a little bit complicated when you get into human cargo. So we’ve always kind of had a push pull with where and how we can spend this money.”
City officials say the current proposal would allocate about $24.5 million across operating, grant and capital projects.
Recommended spending includes funding to offset increased demand on city services such as police, fire and emergency response, along with street maintenance, parks and expanded bus service during the busy cruise season.
Other proposed projects focus on infrastructure improvements in downtown Juneau, including upgrades to the water system, expansion of public Wi-Fi, maintenance and extension of the seawalk, and additional public restrooms.
All comments received by the May 3 deadline will be reviewed alongside the draft recommendations before being sent to the Assembly Finance Committee on May 6. The plan will then move to the full Assembly for consideration as part of the city’s upcoming budget process.
Residents can submit comments by email or mail to the city manager’s office.
