In a chilling jailhouse revelation that has sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, former WWE star Ahmed Johnson has confessed to the brutal murders of his girlfriend and their two young daughters in a Texas apartment.
The 58-year-old wrestling icon, whose real name is Tony Norris, made the stunning admission during a phone call from Dallas County Jail, where he's being held on a staggering $2 million bond.
A Family Destroyed
The horrific incident unfolded on July 19th when police responded to a welfare check at an apartment in the 8400 block of Fair Oaks Avenue. What they discovered was nothing short of a nightmare - the lifeless bodies of 36-year-old Reshorna Fitzpatrick and her daughters, 6-year-old Kylie and 4-year-old Juyhn.
According to authorities, Norris had been living with Fitzpatrick and their children at the residence, painting a picture of domestic stability that would soon shatter in the most violent way imaginable.
The Chilling Confession
During his jailhouse phone call, Norris didn't hold back, stating plainly: "I killed my family." When questioned about his motive, the former wrestler offered a cryptic response, claiming the victims "knew what they did" and that he "had to do it."
This shocking admission comes after Norris was discovered covered in blood at the crime scene, though he initially claimed to have no memory of the events that transpired.
Wrestling Career Cut Short
Norris rose to fame in the 1990s as Ahmed Johnson, becoming one of WWE's most prominent African-American stars during an era when diversity in professional wrestling was still evolving. His powerhouse style and charismatic presence made him a fan favourite, with his career peak including an Intercontinental Championship reign.
His wrestling career was ultimately cut short by injuries, but few could have predicted the tragic turn his life would take decades later.
Community in Mourning
The Dallas community has been left reeling by the brutality of the crime. Neighbours and local residents have expressed their horror at the violence that claimed three innocent lives, particularly the young ages of the children involved.
As Norris awaits his next court appearance, scheduled for August 16th, the wrestling world and beyond grapple with the disturbing reality that the man they once cheered in the ring now stands accused of one of the most heinous crimes imaginable.
