Teen Charged in Mother’s Brutal Murder Inspired by Menendez Bros Doc, Cops Say
Menendez Brothers
Erik & Lyle Inspired Teen Accused Of Murdering His Mom
Published
A Wisconsin teen has an unusual defense for allegedly stabbing his mom to death … he claims he was inspired to commit the savage crime by the notorious Menendez brothers, who killed their own parents with shotguns.
Racine County prosecutors charged 15-year-old Reed Gelinskey with intentional homicide after the March 4 attack on his mother, Suzanne, in their home in the village of Caledonia, about 20 miles south of Milwaukee. Prosecutors say Reed bashed Suzanne with a dumbbell and stabbed her three times in the chest and twice in the neck, killing her.
According to a criminal complaint, obtained by TMZ, Reed allegedly planned the gruesome murder while watching the shotgun scene in the Menendez brothers‘ Netflix documentary, “The Menendez Brothers.” Reed reportedly referenced the scene that shows the murder of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, when talking to cops.
As you know, Erik and Lyle Menendez wielded shotguns and fatally shot their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion in 1989. After two trials, they were convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The brothers are now making a bid to try to get out of prison through resentencing, a commutation or potential parole. They are expected to appear in court for a parole board hearing on June 13.
In the Wisconsin case, police say Gelinskey came home from school March 4 and “felt depression and an urge to kill his parents” before turning on the Menendez documentary after dinner.
In addition to offing his mom, cops says Gelinskey planned to murder his dad with a hammer when he returned home from work, but “could not find one large enough.”
Gelinskey told cops he took anxiety medication to get high, consuming a total of nine pills, before allegedly whacking his mother.

Cops say Gelinksey phoned a friend and told her to call police. When cops arrived, officers say Gelinksey greeted them at the front door and dropped a bloody knife to the ground, before telling them “she is dead from what I did.”
Gelinskey is being held at a juvenile detention center on a $1 million cash bond, according to court records. He is due in court next in June.

The husband of the Indiana teacher charged with sexually abusing children by allegedly asking them to gangbang her while wearing “Scream” masks is taking a stab at a new life … because he filed for divorce.
Brittany Fortinberry is the 31-year-old former high school teacher who is facing a slew of child sex abuse charges … and legal docs obtained by TMZ reveal her husband, Nicholas Fortinberry, filed for divorce back in February when a police investigation was just getting started.
As we reported … Brittany is accused of sexually abusing multiple junior high students she met at two different schools. Cops say she would ply the kids with alcohol and magic mushrooms before having sex with them, including one alleged instance where she orchestrated an orgy that had the boys wearing masks from the “Scream” movie franchise.
In separate court docs, police say one of the boy’s parents told cops Brittany’s husband “knew about things” and threatened to “slaughter” one of the kids if he came forward.
Police say the parent also told cops Nic approached one of the boys and told him “that it needed to stop until he was of age” and “how disgusting it was.”
The docs say police talked to the parent on Feb. 24 … and Brittany’s husband beelined it to court the following day and filed for divorce after 4 years of marriage.
Nic says they got hitched Nov. 11, 2020 and he lists Feb. 21, 2025 as the date of separation. He says they have a 4-year-old child who was born before they got married and he’s seeking temporary custody of the kid and temporary possession of their family home.

Trina‘s husband and “Love & Hip Hop: Miami ” costar Benjamin Leon Kearse Jr., AKA Swurv, was recently arrested for battery — over a punch cops say happened nearly 2 years ago!!!
TMZ Hip Hop obtained the police report detailing Kearse’s March 20 arrest in Miami … according to the docs, a man claimed he was crossing the street back in July 2023 when Kearse’s black Dodge Charger stopped abruptly in front of a stop sign, causing his hand to strike Kearse’s trunk.
The man told cops Kearse called out to him over it, but when the guy approached the vehicle to explain the situation, he says Kearse grew irate and aggressive and eventually trailed him to a nearby residence.
The alleged victim says Kearse approached him on foot and punched him multiple times, fracturing his nose.
Police later obtained surveillance footage of the altercation and determined the man’s statement added up.
After speaking to Kearse, cops hauled him off to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center for booking.
We reached out to Trina for comment, but so far, no word back!!!
The Diamond Princess and Kearse got hitched back in May 2024. Unclear if this case will screw up any anniversary plans.
