Paramedic recalls injured boy's claim: 'My dad killed my mom'

Testimony continued Tuesday in the murder trial of a Riverman man accused of killing his girlfriend and young daughter, and also trying to kill his 8-year-old son in 2018.
Following an explosive first day of the trial, jurors were shown weapons prosecutors said Ronnie Oneal, 32, used to commit the murders, including a shotgun that was shattered into pieces.
Oneal is accused of stabbing his 8-year-old son, Ronnie IV, several times and lighting the little boy and their house on fire.
As the little boy was rushed to a nearby hospital, paramedics testified he was able to saw a few words.
"I believe he said, 'My dad killed my mom' or 'My dad shot my mom,'" the paramedic recalled.

[@mistyize]

It's law. If they don't give him that chance, then the possibility of mistrial comes into play, and he could WALK. I think of it this way... the kid has been out and away from him for a couple of years, he's HAD to have loads of therapy in order to set him right, but that kid hasn't forgotten ANYTHING. He's had time for the fear to turn to anger, and that anger is justified. He's not going to be in the same room as his dad, so he can say whatever he wants, really. If he realizes he's got one shot at bringing justice for himself, his mom, and his sister, it's all over for dad. It's amazing how brave kids in his situation can be. I don't think dad realizes that. I think he intends on scaring that boy into siding with him, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

When I was around 11-12 years old, My father had to respond to an attempted murder/suicide from the apartment 2 doors down. The Husband shot his wife in the face, and then killed himself. They had 3 kids, one 4 year old, one 8 year old, and one 12 year old. I had played with all three of them and we we're friends. The oldest kid came banging at our door at around 9:40pm, after our bedtime, with the other 2 in tow. They knew my father was a police officer. When my father answered the door, they all screamed "My daddy killed mommy!" My dad immediately told my sister and I to go into our rooms. He immediately grabbed his radio and pistol out of the closet and called it in. The Husband shot his wife with an entry and exit wound through the cheek, in front of his kids. He then killed himself. The wife survived, and after one or two months she came to ask if she could look at the apartment we were moving out of, because she couldn't stand living at her apartment after all the trauma, and thanked my father for protecting her kids. I remember looking at her cheeks, and it looked like ground hamburger, even after the surgeries. When my dad brings this story up (seldom as it is), he always says how much regret he has for telling the kids to go around the side alley by our apartment and to wait, because he didn't want to expose my sister and I to the trauma, instead of taking them inside. After ems and officers arrived, he was back around that alley talking to them. He has never said what they talked about.

he is legit insane, out of his fricken mind

[@JayJayTX]

The words of that little miracle boy will smite down his own father, like David’s stone to Goliath. He is the brave hero of his mom and sister. His life’s purpose and impact will be profound. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Tatiana-gb2no]

Just heartbreaking 💔 😢 😞 😔 😪 😕 💔

[@alisha4635]

Dude is clearly insane! Especially if he’s defending himself

[@deaganz5740]

Absolutely not. He is just trying to playing the victim and claim innocents.

[@daalnweaver4354]

I can't believe they're letting this clown show go on

[@melbizz1208]

I pray that this young boy gets a loving forever home! 🙏

[@-CrimsoN-]

That poor child. Can't even begin to imagine the trauma of such an ordeal.

[@kooolllkatscat7830]

Wants to hold the weapon ….

[@jessemac3067]

"I believe he said my dad shot my mom, or my dad killed my mom" that's a pretty important part to remember the boy saying.

[@MrMsLoveLee]

Isn't it the same thing on this case?

[@katelynrose3024]

I'm sick of all the evil in this world.

[@dr.woozie7500]

Imagine cross-examining your own son who you tried to murder…

[@7335alex]

This dude has been to a Pentecostal church way too many times

[@ssherrierable]

This guy is a joke

[@tinadiesman5442]

What a train wreck!!

[@priscillahmabaso4969]

Oh my goodness he is a monster.

[@ImCaviar_UrSubpar]

The judge and prosecutor aren't comfortable with him holding the gun...him..."I'm innocent until proven guilty!!" 😂Wow what a character 😂

Heart breaking

[@jusdesireable3224]

What he thought they would let him hold the gun? 🤦🏾‍♂️ I feel the appeal on insanity coming after the guilty verdict.

[@sammienochez8497]

“Monster”

[@PrimalRageTV]

On the outside looking in, we are either witnessing once again MAN in the most unfortunate situation defending and fighting for his life, or a devil trying to once again fool the world. THIS IS A LOT!😩

[@amandasimpson34]

Like how is this even possible? He sounds like a crazy person. Why would you do this to your family? What the hell

[@linnerellie209]

That is what he is trying to convince the jury he is. It's all an act to avoid death

[@amandasimpson34]

@@linnerellie209 OHHHHH

[@bernardhawk3258]

That's the question I want answered. WHY?!!!

[@debifox5780]

The truest form of despicable evil! Unimaginable ☠️👹☠️
