Published
Ten people allegedly involved in the brutal beating that ultimately killed inmate Robert Brooks have been charged in connection to the death … with six of them facing murder charges.
Nicholas Anzalone, David Kingsley, Anthony Farina, Christopher Walrath, Mathew Galliher and an unnamed suspect who hasn’t been arraigned yet all face charges of second-degree murder in the violent beating.
Three others — Michael Mashaw, Michael Fisher and David Walters — have been charged with manslaughter. Nicholas Gentile has been charged with tampering with physical evidence.
New York State Attorney General
The nine suspects who were arraigned Thursday reportedly pleaded not guilty to the charges. While the 10th suspect was unable to be arraigned today, he is reportedly not a flight risk.
As you know … the New York State Attorney’s Office released brutal body cam footage of the beating at the end of December — featuring several officers holding Brooks down while others punch, kick and even appear to hit him with shoes.
Brooks — who was serving a 12-year sentence for first-degree assault — reportedly had a “use of force” encounter with corrections officers at Marcy Correctional Facility in Upstate New York, according to the state attorney general’s office.
He was transported to Utica’s Wynn Hospital, about 7 miles away, and died in the early morning hours of December 10.
Several of the officers who were present when the beating occurred had past incidents of allegedly using excessive force against inmates filed against them.
MMA’s Guilherme Vasconcelos
Cause Of Death Revealed
Published
Guilherme “Bomba” Vasconcelos — an MMA fighter who competed in the UFC and Bellator, and dated Demi Lovato — died by suicide, according to newly-released documents.
TMZ Sports obtained the case report from the October 15 incident … which state cops were dispatched to an Illinois home around 9 AM after a woman reported finding Vasconcelos in the garage.
After reviewing security camera footage … cops determined Vasconcelos took his own life the night prior around 11:45 PM — and was not discovered until the following morning.
A search of the house recovered several vials of anabolic steroids, with two mostly empty and two unopened. A suicide note was not discovered.
According to a toxicology report … it yielded only one positive finding — caffeine.
Over the course of his MMA career … Vasconcelos racked up a record of 10-6. He and Lovato were first spotted together in 2017 during New Year’s Eve festivities after several months of dating.
Guilherme’s uncle, Walter, mourned the loss of his nephew at the time … saying, “We were looking forward to your visit for Christmas, which will no longer happen. Life is fleeting, and we woke up to this devastating news. What a time we live in.”
RIP

Justin Bieber
Snaps at Paparazzi
… So Disrespectful!!!

BACKGRID
Justin Bieber was getting snapped and then he snapped … unloading on a paparazzi for saying something the pop star felt was disrespectful.
Ya gotta see the heated interaction between Justin and a photog … with the Biebs snapping at the guy, set off by the dude saying “Thank you.”
Justin asks the photog — who is not a TMZ cameraman — why he’s thanking him … and explains why it’s disrespectful to do so.
Bieber was heading back to his SUV with Hailey Bieber after grabbing breakfast at Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles … and paps were waiting for him.
Justin told the guy to stick to taking pictures and letting him do his thing … with no need to thank JB for anything.
We don’t usually see this kind of reaction from Justin … so it’s pretty interesting.
Justin and Hailey hanging out in public is noteworthy too … the couple was dogged by break-up rumors last month but they squashed it and now they’re out together.
