00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:19,640
Come on, I.
Hate you.

00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:20,160
Bro can.
We get.

A Report of a House Fire, 3133
Green.

00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,320
Heavy smoke ascending from the
Bridgeport row homes.

00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,280
Fire flames seen inside.
Charquandra Walker describing
6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,120
her worst nightmare now a
reality.
7
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,360
I just got tired and broke up
with him.
8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,520
Like I ain't want to be with him
no more.
9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,040
I ain't want to carry that
burden no more on me.
10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,200
I want to come back home to my
mom and my daughter and he going
11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,320
to do this to me.
The man threw a cocktail into
12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,720
the house fire, throwing away.
The peaceful night was shattered
13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,640
by the piercing sound of
breaking glass and a woman's
14
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,320
terrified screams, followed by
the deafening roar of flames
15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,720
engulfing an apartment in
Bridgeport Homes.
16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:07,360
At exactly 2:30 AM on a balmy
Saturday in June 2024, an
17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,800
unknown assailant threw an
incendiary device through the
18
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,400
window, starting a devastating
fire that claimed the life of a
19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,160
beloved grandmother and injured
her granddaughter.
20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,640
Witnesses reported that the
victim, Charnette Walker, had
21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,760
been engaged in a heated
argument with a well known
22
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,560
troublemaker from their
neighborhood just before the
23
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,600
attack.
In a fit of rage, he hurled 2
24
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,680
Molotov cocktail style devices
into the apartment before
25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,440
fleeing through an alleyway.
As brave firefighters fought to
26
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,320
control the raging inferno,
concerned neighbors Nova Miles
27
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:47,360
and Jay Sean Owens rushed to
help those trapped inside.
28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Despite their valiant efforts,
they were only able to save the
29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,720
young granddaughter who was
found hiding in the second floor
30
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,120
bathroom.
Tragically, they were unable to
31
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480
reach Walker due to her fragile
condition.
32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,000
Described as a caring and kind
woman who treated everyone in
33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,360
the community like family,
Walker was highly respected
34
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,800
within her tight knit
neighborhood.
35
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:13,640
However, some neighbors also
noted her stern demeanor and
36
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:17,520
intolerance for disrespect.
In the aftermath of this
37
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,040
senseless act of violence, the
entire community mourned the
38
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,080
loss of Sean, as she was
affectionately known.
39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,680
And while authorities continue
their search for the heartless
40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,280
perpetrator, one thing is
certain, this close community
41
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,440
will never forget the tragedy
that claimed their beloved
42
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,520
neighbor.
This is the heartbreaking story
43
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,160
of Charnette Walker, a
determined 54 year old fighter
44
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,440
who persevered through endless
challenges with unwavering hope.
45
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,480
Despite facing numerous
struggles, she remained fiercely
46
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,120
dedicated to her passions and
loved ones.
47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,160
One such passion was skating,
which she used as both exercise
48
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,160
and a way to connect with
others.
49
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Her social media posts
documenting her journey inspired
50
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,040
many.
But above all, she cherished
51
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,200
being a grandmother.
Living with her daughter
52
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Chaquandra and adored
grandchild.
53
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,080
Charnette took on the role of
caregiver and protector with
54
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,720
unconditional love.
She cherished her granddaughter
55
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,760
more than anything in the world,
and this love radiated until her
56
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,080
last moments.
Sadly, Charnette's selflessness
57
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,280
towards her family ultimately
led to her tragic death.
58
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Welcome to no tears for Black
girls.
59
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,280
In a vengeful act over a dispute
about a hotel bill, Chiquandra's
60
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,480
ex-boyfriend, Cordell Nichols
set fire to their home.
61
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,920
Faced with flames engulfing the
house, Charnette's final act was
62
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,680
one of bravery and selflessness
as she urged neighbors to save
63
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,840
her granddaughter before
succumbing to the fire herself.
64
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,720
Despite her mother Charnette's
disapproval, Chiquandra never
65
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,640
felt the need to apologize for
her career in the adult
66
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,400
entertainment industry.
In fact, she proudly displayed
67
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,360
it on her social media accounts
as a means of supporting herself
68
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440
and her children.
Her tumultuous relationship with
69
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,160
37 year old Cordell Nichols was
fueled by fiery passion, yet
70
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,160
haunted by unrelenting
struggles.
71
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,560
On June 14th, 2024, during a
stay at a hotel, their
72
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,640
tumultuous relationship reached
its breaking point over an
73
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,880
argument about the bill.
Instead of de escalating the
74
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,800
situation, Nichols chose to
retaliate in a heinous way.
75
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,320
He gathered materials to make a
Molotov cocktail and hurled it
76
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,920
into the home of Chaquandra's
mother at 2:30 AM on June 15th.
77
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,040
The house quickly became
engulfed in flames, and while
78
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,840
neighbors were able to save
Chaquandra's daughter, they
79
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:58,280
couldn't rescue Charnet, who
tragically lost her life in the
80
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:01,680
fire.
This senseless act of violence
81
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,160
over a petty argument took the
life of a devoted mother and
82
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,320
grandmother, leaving a community
shattered and demanding justice.
83
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,640
In the aftermath, Chiquandra and
her daughter are left homeless,
84
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,880
with Chiquandra suffering from
third degree burns that require
85
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,240
extensive physical and mental
therapy.
86
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,640
This situation is beyond
devastating.
87
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,240
A petty argument should never
have escalated to such a
88
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,000
horrific outcome.
Nichols's bitter hatred towards
89
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,120
Walker led to an unforgivable
act of violence, leaving her
90
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,720
family to grieve and pick up the
pieces.
91
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,160
As they struggle to come to
terms with this unimaginable
92
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,480
loss and prepare to say goodbye
to Charnette, let us keep them
93
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,520
in our thoughts and prayers,
especially her brave
94
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,920
granddaughter who is fighting to
recover from this tragedy.
95
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,000
Rest in peace, Charnette Walker,
Your strength, love, and
96
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,720
selflessness will forever be
remembered.
97

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,120
her worst nightmare now a
reality.
7
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,360
I just got tired and broke up
with him.
8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,520
Like I ain't want to be with him
no more.
9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,040
I ain't want to carry that
burden no more on me.
10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,200
I want to come back home to my
mom and my daughter and he going
11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,320
to do this to me.
The man threw a cocktail into
12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,720
the house fire, throwing away.
The peaceful night was shattered
13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,640
by the piercing sound of
breaking glass and a woman's
14
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,320
terrified screams, followed by
the deafening roar of flames
15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,720
engulfing an apartment in
Bridgeport Homes.
16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:07,360
At exactly 2:30 AM on a balmy
Saturday in June 2024, an
17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,800
unknown assailant threw an
incendiary device through the
18
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,400
window, starting a devastating
fire that claimed the life of a
19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,160
beloved grandmother and injured
her granddaughter.
20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,640
Witnesses reported that the
victim, Charnette Walker, had
21
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,760
been engaged in a heated
argument with a well known
22
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,560
troublemaker from their
neighborhood just before the
23
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,600
attack.
In a fit of rage, he hurled 2
24
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,680
Molotov cocktail style devices
into the apartment before
25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,440
fleeing through an alleyway.
As brave firefighters fought to
26
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,320
control the raging inferno,
concerned neighbors Nova Miles
27
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:47,360
and Jay Sean Owens rushed to
help those trapped inside.
28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Despite their valiant efforts,
they were only able to save the
29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,720
young granddaughter who was
found hiding in the second floor
30
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,120
bathroom.
Tragically, they were unable to
31
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480
reach Walker due to her fragile
condition.
32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,000
Described as a caring and kind
woman who treated everyone in
33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,360
the community like family,
Walker was highly respected
34
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,800
within her tight knit
neighborhood.
35
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:13,640
However, some neighbors also
noted her stern demeanor and
36
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:17,520
intolerance for disrespect.
In the aftermath of this
37
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,040
senseless act of violence, the
entire community mourned the
38
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,080
loss of Sean, as she was
affectionately known.
39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,680
And while authorities continue
their search for the heartless
40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,280
perpetrator, one thing is
certain, this close community
41
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,440
will never forget the tragedy
that claimed their beloved
42
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,520
neighbor.
This is the heartbreaking story
43
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,160
of Charnette Walker, a
determined 54 year old fighter
44
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,440
who persevered through endless
challenges with unwavering hope.
45
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,480
Despite facing numerous
struggles, she remained fiercely
46
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,120
dedicated to her passions and
loved ones.
47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,160
One such passion was skating,
which she used as both exercise
48
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,160
and a way to connect with
others.
49
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Her social media posts
documenting her journey inspired
50
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,040
many.
But above all, she cherished
51
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,200
being a grandmother.
Living with her daughter
52
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Chaquandra and adored
grandchild.
53
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,080
Charnette took on the role of
caregiver and protector with
54
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,720
unconditional love.
She cherished her granddaughter
55
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,760
more than anything in the world,
and this love radiated until her
56
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,080
last moments.
Sadly, Charnette's selflessness
57
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,280
towards her family ultimately
led to her tragic death.

00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Welcome to no tears for Black
girls.
59
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,280
In a vengeful act over a dispute
about a hotel bill, Chiquandra's
60
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,480
ex-boyfriend, Cordell Nichols
set fire to their home.
61
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,920
Faced with flames engulfing the
house, Charnette's final act was
62
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,680
one of bravery and selflessness
as she urged neighbors to save
63
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,840
her granddaughter before
succumbing to the fire herself.
64
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,720
Despite her mother Charnette's
disapproval, Chiquandra never
65
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,640
felt the need to apologize for
her career in the adult
66
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,400
entertainment industry.
In fact, she proudly displayed
67
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,360
it on her social media accounts
as a means of supporting herself
68
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440
and her children.
Her tumultuous relationship with
69
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,160
37 year old Cordell Nichols was
fueled by fiery passion, yet
70
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,160
haunted by unrelenting
struggles.
71
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,560
On June 14th, 2024, during a
stay at a hotel, their
72
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,640
tumultuous relationship reached
its breaking point over an
73
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,880
argument about the bill.
Instead of de escalating the
74
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,800
situation, Nichols chose to
retaliate in a heinous way.
75
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,320
He gathered materials to make a
Molotov cocktail and hurled it
76
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,920
into the home of Chaquandra's
mother at 2:30 AM on June 15th.
77
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,040
The house quickly became
engulfed in flames, and while
78
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,840
neighbors were able to save
Chaquandra's daughter, they
79
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:58,280
couldn't rescue Charnet, who
tragically lost her life in the
80
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:01,680
fire.
This senseless act of violence
81
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,160
over a petty argument took the
life of a devoted mother and
82
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,320
grandmother, leaving a community
shattered and demanding justice.
83
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,640
In the aftermath, Chiquandra and
her daughter are left homeless,
84
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,880
with Chiquandra suffering from
third degree burns that require
85
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,240
extensive physical and mental
therapy.
86
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,640
This situation is beyond
devastating.
87
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,240
A petty argument should never
have escalated to such a
88
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,000
horrific outcome.
Nichols's bitter hatred towards
89
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,120
Walker led to an unforgivable
act of violence, leaving her
90
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,720
family to grieve and pick up the
pieces.
91
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,160
As they struggle to come to
terms with this unimaginable
92
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,480
loss and prepare to say goodbye
to Charnette, let us keep them
93
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,520
in our thoughts and prayers,
especially her brave
94
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,920
granddaughter who is fighting to
recover from this tragedy.
95
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,000
Rest in peace, Charnette Walker,
Your strength, love, and
96
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,720
selflessness will forever be
remembered.
