Jovan Belcher Killed His Girlfriend Kasandra Because She Told Him Their Baby Wasn't His!
December 14, 2012GWL Staff
Recently, former Kansas City Chef player Jovan Belcher, who was laid to rest on Wednesday, shot his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins in the head then commits suicide a few hours later at the Arrowhead practice facility, earlier this month.
Despite the many reports claiming Jovan killed his girlfriend because of her love affair with Trey Songz, Belcher's mother, Cheryl Shepherd is saying the couple argued over the paternity test of their three-month-old daughter Zoey right before the murder-suicide at her son's home in Missouri.
Mrs Shepherd was in the home when her son shot Kasandra Perkins, 22, nine times before fleeing. He is believed to have kissed her dying body and their baby daughter goodbye before he left.
'The mother believed that there was an issue over whether [Belcher] was the father. She said he believed he wasn’t necessarily the father of the child.'According to MailOnline, a Kansas City law-enforcement source confirmed, 'She told police there was a question about the paternity.' And it is unclear if the paternity issue was the reason why the rocky relationship ended in such a violent and tragic way. The implication was that paternity was what the two of them were fighting about — that the baby might not have been his.
The couple had been receiving counseling for relationship and financial problems, police said.
A spokeswoman said she would not comment on the doubts raised over baby Zoey's paternity.
According to the New York Post, she is set to receive more than $1million over the years until she reaches 18. It is not clear if this was based on the results of a pregnancy test.
Belcher’s beneficiary will also get $600,000 in life insurance, a $100,000 retirement account and $200,000 for each of the four seasons played.
A Kansas City police spokeswoman said the baby's paternity wouldn’t be part of the department’s murder-suicide probe.
'That would not be something they’re going to investigate,' said Sgt Marisa Barnes. 'It’s a "he-said, she-said" so there’s no way to investigate. It would be nothing more than a civil matter.'
Belcher was memorialized as a 'humble, kind young man' at his funeral on Wednesday - despite the brutal murder of the mother of his child and shooting himself in front of his coaches.
Since then, one player gave up multiple firearms and told team officials he didn't trust himself with them. The horrific murder suicide has shaken the NFL and begun a discussion of gun ownership and mental health issues.
At least seven players have given up their guns - handing them over to the security personnel for their teams, Sports Illustrated reports.
