Damn, his son looks so much like his dad. It must be tough on the grandmother to be reminded of the man who killed your daughter everytime you look at your grandson... damn
I've met this young man on several occasions and he's so blessed to have a grandmother like he does she's a beautiful amazing woman she's done a awesome job raising him I could see the hurt on her face when talking to her she shared things with me that made me teary eyed because I'm sure it's very hard raising a disabled child but she never skipped a beat because that's her baby's baby she's doing what she's got to do for her baby girl 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Her 911 phone call was heartbreaking. She was not only hurt from the gunshots, but you can also hear how heartbroken she was to see the man she loved and trusted attempting to take her and her unborn child's life. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy! Unlimited prayers, and condolences to her family. I am so glad her mother got custody of her child! Outstanding job Granny!
To see Cherica’s Mom pushing Ray’s son around is so sad to see. She is a strong woman and everyone here in Charlotte always shows her so much love and support. 🥺💜
Her son is happy. He may not understand as much as we do but he's also much happier than most people. She's watching him still being the mother she was meant to be to him.
@@beberexx5352 how he looks just like his dad must be painful for Carruth. What a shame for him to do what he did, instead of having a life with Cherica & his mini me he spend 18 yrs in jail and sadness & regret. Yes at least his son is happy and cared for despite losing his mother before birth. 😭😭 Imagine what could have been if Carruth had been a real man and his 'friends' had a told him to buck up & not risk it all to hurt gf. Ugh. Additional good years in NFL, teaching hus own son's the game, seeing them graduate, being a productive member of society instead of a murderer. He deserved the full murder charge.
@@sparkyfister It is, not everyone can forgive. It’s just not something everyone can do? Can you forgive someone who killed your Mother, or a loved one? You probably couldn’t, but others can.
I'm a Retired Nurse now, But I was one of Many nurses that Was on Duty When this young pregnant lady was brought in. Because of Right to Privacy Won't give details. But there was never A Doctor or Nurse who didn't Weep each time We leave that Room. Her Mother was the Strongest Woman I have ever met Ray C. Is a Monster and no Woman is safe with him. God Bless this Child and his Beautiful Soul. Even today when I drive by here final resting place it makes me think about seeing her in that Condition. Tragic
Flem deserves his own segment on prime time tv and or a series on any of the steaming platforms. (Netflix,Prime,HBO Max, Hulu, etc). His storytelling is second to none and really puts in the work researching/studying whatever subject or person he‘s making a video on. His content is by far the most in depth, interesting and creative compared to others doing similar videos. It’s always a good day seeing a new upload by Flemo. Keep up the hard work brother. UA-cam is just the beginning.. your my #1 sports creator and I could see you expanding in any area you wish to explore and thrive at it 💯💯 Never stop. Your a huge inspiration 👏👏
For the last 10 years that's been a massive step down for UA-cam creators. "You know what would be great? Hulu executives told flemlo what to do stories on, what to cut and what sucks!" He's better working for himself like everyone else. And that's several hundred times better for us too. Don't wish that evil on the community. He's not going to be the FIRST one to succeed doing it. And comments like this push him in the wrong direction toward abject failure
I'll never understand how someone can get to that point and even consider something so despicable. Thank you for handling that with respect for the victim and the survivor of this story.
As a panther fan I hate that Rae is in our franchise history, he ruined three lives and one before it even got started. His son is a trooper and an inspiration to us all, don’t let your disabilities define you. Condolences to Cherica’s family still to this day, can’t imagine this ordeal gets easier or better.🙏🏼🙏🏼💔💔
This is why I find it hard to really immerse myself into the game and root for individual players! You just never know what kind of person they really are!
This story has always touched my heart. Rae is an evil person, the mother didn't deserve that and his son deserved a better chance at life, I'm glad he survived and the family are really great people.
If she didn't try and extort money out of Rey via 18 years of FORCED child support payments then she would still be alive today. She was just a gold digger trying to cash in a lottery ticket on an athlete.
@@lindathomas4432doesn't matter if it was the gun man. Ray set it up so that he wouldn't have to pay child support and should have received more time for it. PERIOD!!!
Either way it goes Rae is a monster. That woman would still be alive if he wasn't a selfish greedy POS.... I'm pretty sure the dude that killed her wouldn't have done it if Rae wouldn't have asked him to do it.... They are both evil and they both deserve to spend the rest of their miserable lives in prison....
As a Panthers fan, this is without a doubt one of the darkest moments in not only our team's history, but in NFL history. You've done an excellent job, covering it, Flemlo.
He’s the spitting image of his father. His grandmom is a dedicated, loving, nurturing, loving & forgiving soul!! Bravo to her she’s an Angel on earth!!!
A few years back, I went to a Panthers game with a buddy of mine and I remember he got pissed when he spotted a guy sporting a Carruth jersey. I didn't understand why at the time...I do now. 😥
I moved to NC the year this happened. It was all over the news and I'll never forget how scared she was on that 911 call. Ray I hope you get everything coming to you.
He is such an evil person, he will NEVER have peace until he admits he orchestrated all of this. Cherica was SOOO pretty, her son is such a handsome man, and her mommy is an angel.
19:10. The pain you feel for the family is deep bro. No child or parent should ever have to experience such tragedy. Your amazing words and raw emotions were truly felt with this one Flem, respect.
This story still gets me in my heart every time I hear it. It's so tragic, yet so avoidable! He tried to end his child's life before it even began, but look at him now. He's definitely a fighter and he's a survivor. I admire Cherica's mom for the strength she's displayed through the years. They're just amazing people. Thanks for being so mindful in how you presented this story. Although it's been over 20 years, that pain her family feels hasn't changed. I know for myself after losing a close family member to violence. It's easy to feel revictimized by the way someone presents their story to others. But you did an awesome job respecting her and her family in this video. Kudos! Don't shy away from the hard stories. They'll make you grow much better than the easy ones. ♥️♥️♥️
The emotion in your voice at the end was completely warranted and it all built to that moment of despair. Expert storytelling and thank you for going outside of your comfort zone to tell a story that absolutely needed to be told. If for no other reason than to remind us of what you said at the beginning - these are real people, not characters in a storybook.
Hearing her heartbreaking 911 call....realizing the it was Rae Carruth who she realized WAS the one who did this horrible, horrible thing to her AND her poor baby. I'm so proud of her for fighting to stay alive long enough to save her baby...and I believe she knew before she died, that he made it. God bless him and his grandmother and may his mother rest in peace 🕊️
I’m from charlotte & This actually hits home. I’ve met chancellor a couple times at family gatherings. Cherica was my cousin’s best friend and I’m in a picture with her when I was about like 5-6 years old. Chance is definitely well loved and cared for 👏🏾
If she didn't try and extort Rey for money via 18 years of child support for a child he didn't want.....and I KNOW she new he didn't want a kid.....she would still be alive today.
@@Bellthorian He laid down with her obviously unprotected. So STOP for an “old guy” you sure are naive. She’s not going to commit sin against HER BODY HER BABY because a deadbeat wants to sleep around irresponsibly. Not how it works. If anything sign your rights away.
I found out about you through my husband watching your videos and I liked your delivery and how you explained stories. Then I came across your personal story, and it too is very inspiring. I love a man that is able to stick to his morals, values, and is able to think for himself, while staying true to self. Your life journey needs to be spoken about. I've watched quite a few of your videos but I may be late on you explaining your life. I may be one in a million but I do believe that your story needs to be told. I show gratitude to you and your storytelling abilities. I show gratitude for eavesdropping on my husband's podcast that he watches to find out about you. Again thanks great storyteller.
There is nobody I'd rather listen to about anything. Your ability to portray stories and deliver a narrative is unmatched...Thank you for making content and I hope you don't stop for a long time. Truly Thank you
Thanks Flemlo,for what you’re doing! I’m 50 now, and I remember the news then, and how I moved past the updates without caring, it was just part of the world’s bad news. But the human side you inject into your episodes makes me feel ashamed of that. I am so appreciative for your point of view, thanks again.
I always leave the channel for a couple months at a time but I always return and binge what I’ve missed because Flem is the best storyteller on UA-cam. Excellent video as always. Tragic, extremely dark but a story that needs to be remembered. Bless the grandmother and I wish all the best for Chancellor.
That precious kid… he’s better looking than his dad and you know he has Cherica’s big heart. Thanks for giving both sides of the story no matter what. You are a gifted storyteller, my friend.
Of course I had heard of this dude, but I never knew the full story. I really appreciate the work you do, and the passion you show for real people's stories. Keep up the good work.
The Charlotte Observer did an amazing job with their follow-up documentary. Thank you for covering this case, it's heartbreaking what happened to Cherica and Chancellor. Though they got some measure of justice, I think Rae should have been found guilty on all counts
Flem, everything you do is top-notch and it is clear how you aren't afraid to be raw while also never spinning lies. These stories have you at your best and I believe these tragic stories of evil people must be shared to shine light on the kind of people we may look up to. Keep up the fantastic work.
Another great job. I remember when this happened and it was one of the most shocking things done in NFL history by a player. I was so glad she had the strength to call 911 and tell who did it or they would’ve gotten away. If you don’t want kids use protection or don’t screw!!!
Very sad and incredibly horrendous situation (gross understatement)! That being said, you did a great job with this very grim account of a strong mom (dying breath), powerful grandma and a son with will to live, who was handicapped by a pitiful individual. Despite some triumphs, like you said, "everybody lose".
Handsome young man has his mother’s gorgeous looks…she would be so very proud of him!! I remember when this happened and it pretty much shocked everyone. This beautiful young lady died because someone didn’t want to take responsibility. You are so right…THERE ARE PRODUCTS FOR THAT!!! I totally enjoyed listening to you tell this story. You did a wonderful job and I am subscribed! ❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That last line. Jesus Flemlo I swear the amount of time and effort you put in is incredible. And honestly cannot wait to see you direct a full length documentary for Netflix or Hulu or ESPN I see it for you bro. Your work speaks volumes about your character. And I’m rooting for you all the big bro!!!
I either forgot or just wasn't aware of him threatening her Mama from behind bars. And she is a very special woman for hoping Carruth would reach out when Chancellor was graduating. This story is heartbreaking on so many levels.
Takes a special kind of narcissistic, delusional individual to berate a woman for doing the right thing. She been through enough. I do not wish Carruth well and hope nothing works out for him until he is in the dirt
@@mr.b5663 I completely disagree, carruth is starting to have a relationship with his son and loves him very much and I with them both the best. Rea carruth is a changed man.
Saw a full story documentary on this. The way he ignored the clone / young man / son, was the worse part. The grandmother taking care of this young man is the hero. Myself, feel Rae can't get anything back from past. Should just acknowledge the wrong & make peace, just humble yourself .
Damm this sent me chills down my spine. This guy has to be so evil to keep having unprotected sex and than kill the mom and kid. Absolutely great story telling flemo!! Keep these video's going!!
What pisses me off because a man can blatantly tell you one thing but but telling people something else. Snakes in your bed fr. You don't want kids but sexing unprotected..make it make sense. Logic gets on my nerves like people are that stupid.
@@josiahrangel8107 you know 100000% if this dude was white & only got 18 years for this crime people would be screaming "its because he's white", and if you deny that then youre lying to yourself
Rest in peace to cherica, and thank god that he was capable to keep Chancellor on this earth he is a blessing to everyone that knows or knows of him and he just a blessing for this whole world
This story pissed me off and broke my heart. I remember watching it all unfold and I was absolutely mortified. I was the police at the time and all I wanted was to see Ray put UNDER the jail. And I STILL feel the same way. How could someone be so heartless?
Rea got what he deserved now it is time to move forward, he is a changed man and is starting to have a relationship with his son. The grandmother has forgiven Rea so now should the rest of the world.
I don't know about forgiveness but that the problem with these officers mentality. He already been judged, and convicted. Nigga still living rent free in your mind. If you still feel the same way pull up and handle yours.
@@onlinegigpay710 Sure you can just kill an inncocent woman and then give your kid all these life threatening problems and just be free. If I was his son i wouldnt forgive him i would honestly not forgive him and may want to kill him.
Brother,I love your content Been an NFL fan since they started showing over here in the UK in the 80s. These stories are not well known over here if at all. Been binging your channel since I found it and I look forward to the next one. You deserve all the success your hard work brings.
I randomly met the sister of the woman murdered at a video shoot in LA. She told me just moved from Charlotte to act and model. Years later I was watching the story on snapped and she was being interviewed, I was like I’ll be damn
You truly have a gift, my friend. Your ability to take even the worst of stories, and find a moral or message to take away is Legend-level awesome. It isn't often I find myself choking up watching videos about athletes, but you've pulled it off more than anyone else. The way you handle each of these stories with respect, finesse, and an unbiased sense of truth, is refreshing and awe inspiring. You truly deserve every good thing that comes your way, brother. You're a positive force of nature, and the definition of a "real one". Thanks for so many years of top-quality content. Here's to many more, Flem!
Aw by the way I feel that Cherica Ms. Adams should have got half of his nfl contract since he brought all this pain & suffering in there direction!! Truth be told
I just wanted to say that your videos are ELITE. The way you approach every video is awesome because you give respect to those involved, but you still give us all the facts. Can’t wait until you hit 1M subs man!
I remember this well when it occurred. I watch and listen to your take because of your delivery and view of everything that occurred. Keep up the great work.
Keep doing the rough ones. This is your best video yet. I love the tone you set and the respect you use telling these stories. Definitely keep doing the darker ones!
I’ve been in NC my whole life. This case shook up so many communities here. Such a dark shadow casted on my beloved Panthers. What a heart breaking story. Thank you sincerely for covering this my brother.
Stumbled upon your channel & really took notice of how you told a horrendous story that wasnt an accident but an intentional act that destroyed so many lives. Finding the positive can be a hard task with such a dark story but you found a way to do so with respect & integrity. That is a blessing & a gift & I will be coming back for more ~
Excellent work on this video bro, a truly sad tale that you covered respectfully. My thoughts and prayers are with the young man who lost his mom and the woman herself for only wanting to secure the future for her and her son. R.I.P
Thank you so much for telling this story in such a considerate and heart felt manner. I've been watching your channel for a while and you have an amazing gift. Much respect! 💯
I was mesmerized by the delivery of this sordid tale. Regardless of how I feel personally about this man's (and I use that term loosely) actions, your conveyance was smooth as silk. One of your best videos in the 3+ years I've been subscribed. Thank you sir.
When this episode dropped, I was real hesitant to watch it, I see why. This is sad but incredible to see the young able to graduate, Wow great storytelling sir.
This case always intrigued me. How someone who can commit to a team, abhor committing to parenthood. Obviously he did nothing to prevent these kids… her 911 call is so sad. She knew, her intuition knew . She said those words while dying , she was sure. She just couldn’t fathom it but she knew.
This was such a heartbreaking story on so many levels! So very sad to know people of this nature exist in the world. We've been watching/supporting you for years now, and you never miss a beat! One of the best story tellers out! Much respect, keep doin ya thang! ✊✊✊
Awesome vid Flem. You can tell how personal and meaningful the story is to you being a father yourself. I appreciate the rawness of your storytelling in this video. You are absolutely right, these stories need to be told so we can appreciate the positive things in life that much more.
My aunt went to college with the young lady who was killed Cherica Adams and often told me stories about them being in college she even gave my aunt a gift that my aunt still has! She said she was the sweetest person I believe it
Thanks for sharing this piece flemlo haven't been here in a while but there has been a lot of gun crimes in my town recently and your message at the end is one to take to the heart. Bless you for trying to spread positivity, love and appreciation
It's crazy because I went to high school with with him me my brother and cousin's and friends would meet up to play basketball at valley high park we all kicked it never new he would be that evil and do something like he did I'm feel Soo bad for the mom and her grandson she is Soo amazing for taking care of him and congratulations for graduating high school
This man should never have friends again no one should ever want to be around him and God got his hand on that little boy little boy is so cute God please restore him
It's been a few years since I heard this resurface, I remember the Charlotte Observer had a long form podcast series on it. Such a sad story in general...but as always sir you did a great job on a delicate topic. Salute 💪🏾
My God, i wonder if he had known that his awesome son would be his TWIN, if he would still have orchestrated that horrendous act!! What a Beautiful, Handsome, Wonderful child he is.
Love the energy you had at the end it made me feel that you felt how I felt. So sad for everyone who’s life was ruined by one man and his ability not to keep knocking up women and blaming them for that. Absolutely disgusting when someone can’t take responsibility for what they create. Instead they have to destroy.
This is truly sad bro. I’m glad you put this story out in full detail because I felt this on all levels of life. You could literally narrate for crime stories and people would feel it just as much as your sports narration 💯
Damn, his son looks so much like his dad. It must be tough on the grandmother to be reminded of the man who killed your daughter everytime you look at your grandson... damn
Strong woman 🙏🏾🙏🏾 loves her grandson but they are twins he’s a handsome young man tho nonetheless
The dedication & love conquered that. It’s constant reminder but his health was far greater than that. Amen

I'm so proud of her for fighting to stay alive long enough to save her baby...and I believe she knew before she died, that he made it. God bless him and his grandmother and may his mother rest in peace 🕊️
@Karen Adams Yes definitely I remember watching his trial on Court Tv
I’m from charlotte & This actually hits home. I’ve met chancellor a couple times at family gatherings. Cherica was my cousin’s best friend and I’m in a picture with her when I was about like 5-6 years old. Chance is definitely well loved and cared for 👏🏾
Thanks for update. I watched the case and I like how grandma stepped up. Also Cherica was beautiful. Sending love from across the world.
If she didn't try and extort Rey for money via 18 years of child support for a child he didn't want.....and I KNOW she new he didn't want a kid.....she would still be alive today.
@@Bellthorian if u don't want a child u don't have ?. Duh
@@Bellthorian He laid down with her obviously unprotected. So STOP for an “old guy” you sure are naive. She’s not going to commit sin against HER BODY HER BABY because a deadbeat wants to sleep around irresponsibly. Not how it works. If anything sign your rights away.
I can’t believe he had nerve to sue for custody
I found out about you through my husband watching your videos and I liked your delivery and how you explained stories. Then I came across your personal story, and it too is very inspiring. I love a man that is able to stick to his morals, values, and is able to think for himself, while staying true to self. Your life journey needs to be spoken about. I've watched quite a few of your videos but I may be late on you explaining your life. I may be one in a million but I do believe that your story needs to be told. I show gratitude to you and your storytelling abilities. I show gratitude for eavesdropping on my husband's podcast that he watches to find out about you. Again thanks great storyteller.
As a father this makes me so incredibly sad and angry. Thanks for the story Flem i had forgotten about it
There is nobody I'd rather listen to about anything. Your ability to portray stories and deliver a narrative is unmatched...Thank you for making content and I hope you don't stop for a long time. Truly Thank you
Love watching these videos during work. Bro, you've got a great story telling voice and the amount of research you do is incredible. Much respect
Agreed
It happened years ago and it’s awful what happened but there is nothing to research.
I agree 👍🏾 fantastic voice... It matches with the story..
Eric, I hope you can also find something in the story that touched your heart! That seemed to be the main point of him doing the video!
Agree wholeheartedly!
Your presentation of the topics are very good! Keep up the great work!
I'm looking to start a channel soon myself.
👍🏾
Thanks Flemlo,for what you’re doing! I’m 50 now, and I remember the news then, and how I moved past the updates without caring, it was just part of the world’s bad news.
But the human side you inject into your episodes makes me feel ashamed of that. I am so appreciative for your point of view, thanks again.
Thanks for watching 🔝🔝

I always leave the channel for a couple months at a time but I always return and binge what I’ve missed because Flem is the best storyteller on UA-cam. Excellent video as always. Tragic, extremely dark but a story that needs to be remembered. Bless the grandmother and I wish all the best for Chancellor.
“In some of these stories at the end of the day, everybody loses” that hit my chest so hard
That precious kid… he’s better looking than his dad and you know he has Cherica’s big heart.
Thanks for giving both sides of the story no matter what. You are a gifted storyteller, my friend.
Of course I had heard of this dude, but I never knew the full story. I really appreciate the work you do, and the passion you show for real people's stories. Keep up the good work.
The Charlotte Observer did an amazing job with their follow-up documentary. Thank you for covering this case, it's heartbreaking what happened to Cherica and Chancellor. Though they got some measure of justice, I think Rae should have been found guilty on all counts
Flem, everything you do is top-notch and it is clear how you aren't afraid to be raw while also never spinning lies. These stories have you at your best and I believe these tragic stories of evil people must be shared to shine light on the kind of people we may look up to. Keep up the fantastic work.
Another great job. I remember when this happened and it was one of the most shocking things done in NFL history by a player. I was so glad she had the strength to call 911 and tell who did it or they would’ve gotten away. If you don’t want kids use protection or don’t screw!!!
Very sad and incredibly horrendous situation (gross understatement)! That being said, you did a great job with this very grim account of a strong mom (dying breath), powerful grandma and a son with will to live, who was handicapped by a pitiful individual. Despite some triumphs, like you said, "everybody lose".
Handsome young man has his mother’s gorgeous looks…she would be so very proud of him!! I remember when this happened and it pretty much shocked everyone. This beautiful young lady died because someone didn’t want to take responsibility. You are so right…THERE ARE PRODUCTS FOR THAT!!! I totally enjoyed listening to you tell this story. You did a wonderful job and I am subscribed! ❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
He looks just like his father they look like twins
That last line. Jesus Flemlo I swear the amount of time and effort you put in is incredible. And honestly cannot wait to see you direct a full length documentary for Netflix or Hulu or ESPN I see it for you bro. Your work speaks volumes about your character. And I’m rooting for you all the big bro!!!
Go Rest High, sweet Cherica.
Very well told, Sir. Thank you for sharing this story.
I either forgot or just wasn't aware of him threatening her Mama from behind bars. And she is a very special woman for hoping Carruth would reach out when Chancellor was graduating. This story is heartbreaking on so many levels.
Takes a special kind of narcissistic, delusional individual to berate a woman for doing the right thing. She been through enough. I do not wish Carruth well and hope nothing works out for him until he is in the dirt
@@mr.b5663 I completely disagree, carruth is starting to have a relationship with his son and loves him very much and I with them both the best. Rea carruth is a changed man.
Ok buddy lol you need a hug
@@mr.b5663 it's a whole lot of them type of people around
I don't remember him threatening the Mom. But Wow
Saw a full story documentary on this. The way he ignored the clone / young man / son, was the worse part. The grandmother taking care of this young man is the hero. Myself, feel Rae can't get anything back from past. Should just acknowledge the wrong & make peace, just humble yourself .
I've seen a few videos on this situation, but your way of telling a story puts it into a new perspective. Well done, Flem!
Damm this sent me chills down my spine. This guy has to be so evil to keep having unprotected sex and than kill the mom and kid. Absolutely great story telling flemo!! Keep these video's going!!
He didn't kill the kid. His son survived the attack, miraculously!
he tried to kill the kid, did not work.
What pisses me off because a man can blatantly tell you one thing but but telling people something else. Snakes in your bed fr. You don't want kids but sexing unprotected..make it make sense. Logic gets on my nerves like people are that stupid.
He reaped what he sewed
Didn’t think I would see you here. Makes me like you even more as a content creator!
yeah an entire 18 years..... black privilege
@@hahathatsucks8019 wtf ?
@@josiahrangel8107 you know 100000% if this dude was white & only got 18 years for this crime people would be screaming "its because he's white", and if you deny that then youre lying to yourself
@@hahathatsucks8019 race has nothing to do with it
Rest in peace to cherica, and thank god that he was capable to keep Chancellor on this earth he is a blessing to everyone that knows or knows of him and he just a blessing for this whole world
This story pissed me off and broke my heart. I remember watching it all unfold and I was absolutely mortified. I was the police at the time and all I wanted was to see Ray put UNDER the jail. And I STILL feel the same way. How could someone be so heartless?
Rea got what he deserved now it is time to move forward, he is a changed man and is starting to have a relationship with his son. The grandmother has forgiven Rea so now should the rest of the world.
@@cheesecakegood4041 Man should still be in jail smh
Crap like that is why fornication is a sin.
I don't know about forgiveness but that the problem with these officers mentality. He already been judged, and convicted. Nigga still living rent free in your mind. If you still feel the same way pull up and handle yours.
@@onlinegigpay710 Sure you can just kill an inncocent woman and then give your kid all these life threatening problems and just be free. If I was his son i wouldnt forgive him i would honestly not forgive him and may want to kill him.
Brother,I love your content
Been an NFL fan since they started showing over here in the UK in the 80s.
These stories are not well known over here if at all.
Been binging your channel since I found it and I look forward to the next one.
You deserve all the success your hard work brings.
I randomly met the sister of the woman murdered at a video shoot in LA. She told me just moved from Charlotte to act and model. Years later I was watching the story on snapped and she was being interviewed, I was like I’ll be damn
WOW, you are a great storyteller! I'm in tears.
You truly have a gift, my friend. Your ability to take even the worst of stories, and find a moral or message to take away is Legend-level awesome. It isn't often I find myself choking up watching videos about athletes, but you've pulled it off more than anyone else. The way you handle each of these stories with respect, finesse, and an unbiased sense of truth, is refreshing and awe inspiring.
You truly deserve every good thing that comes your way, brother. You're a positive force of nature, and the definition of a "real one". Thanks for so many years of top-quality content. Here's to many more, Flem!
Thanks for watching 🔝🔝

Aw by the way I feel that Cherica Ms. Adams should have got half of his nfl contract since he brought all this pain & suffering in there direction!! Truth be told
Bro… this was fantastic!!! You get better and better with every story. Great job on such a hard story!
Dude definitely has a type! I thought it was 3 pics of the same girl until the story unfolded.
RIP to the beautiful woman who lost her life and prayers for the son . You are one of the best football UA-camrs ever
What a sad story. Thank you for the way you go about telling stories and working so hard to be as honest as possible…
I just wanted to say that your videos are ELITE. The way you approach every video is awesome because you give respect to those involved, but you still give us all the facts. Can’t wait until you hit 1M subs man!
I remember this well when it occurred. I watch and listen to your take because of your delivery and view of everything that occurred. Keep up the great work.
Respectfully covered and told, great job as always Flem.
Flemlo is one of the best storytellers on UA-cam.
Real talk there at the end. Good vibes. Much love ✌
Keep doing the rough ones. This is your best video yet. I love the tone you set and the respect you use telling these stories. Definitely keep doing the darker ones!
I love the touch you bring to these sensitive stories. You make them entertaining but gut wrenching at the same time
Generational traumas can always be overcome within the next generation!! Of course it is easier said than done, but the change is there!!
I’m 22 and I used to watch your videos when I was kid, I’m glad you still doing what you do bro. Keep up the good work
This had to be rough. You did this very respectfully. Applause to you.
I’ve been in NC my whole life. This case shook up so many communities here. Such a dark shadow casted on my beloved Panthers. What a heart breaking story. Thank you sincerely for covering this my brother.
The sensitivity shown to cover such a drak source material is what makes FlemLo's content so good.
Stumbled upon your channel & really took notice of how you told a horrendous story that wasnt an accident but an intentional act that destroyed so many lives. Finding the positive can be a hard task with such a dark story but you found a way to do so with respect & integrity. That is a blessing & a gift & I will be coming back for more ~
Man, I was a freshman in high school when this story unfolded. Major sad that this story went down like it did, and the lives that it affected.
Bro, you have a great way of telling these stories. Keep up the good work!
19:10 Felt your words so hard, respect Flem!
You get better with every video🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yeah Cherica RIP 🙏Adams!!
Excellent work on this video bro, a truly sad tale that you covered respectfully. My thoughts and prayers are with the young man who lost his mom and the woman herself for only wanting to secure the future for her and her son. R.I.P
I've heard of a son looking like his dad but wow!!! No maury show here.
Thank you so much for telling this story in such a considerate and heart felt manner. I've been watching your channel for a while and you have an amazing gift. Much respect! 💯
Thanks for sharing this truly sad story😔
I was mesmerized by the delivery of this sordid tale. Regardless of how I feel personally about this man's (and I use that term loosely) actions, your conveyance was smooth as silk. One of your best videos in the 3+ years I've been subscribed. Thank you sir.
When this episode dropped, I was real hesitant to watch it, I see why. This is sad but incredible to see the young able to graduate, Wow great storytelling sir.
This case always intrigued me. How someone who can commit to a team, abhor committing to parenthood. Obviously he did nothing to prevent these kids… her 911 call is so sad. She knew, her intuition knew . She said those words while dying , she was sure. She just couldn’t fathom it but she knew.
So rare for dem 2 abandon they keeds an baby mommas hahaha
@@dantevxv1501 bro no need to be petty every race has sterotypes
@@dantevxv1501 really
M glad she was strong enough to call the police. .the son looks just like him. .
This was such a heartbreaking story on so many levels! So very sad to know people of this nature exist in the world. We've been watching/supporting you for years now, and you never miss a beat! One of the best story tellers out! Much respect, keep doin ya thang! ✊✊✊
He looks just like his Dad 🎯 may his mom rest in Heavenly peace 🙏🏽💔🕊⚘🕊⚘
Awesome vid Flem. You can tell how personal and meaningful the story is to you being a father yourself. I appreciate the rawness of your storytelling in this video. You are absolutely right, these stories need to be told so we can appreciate the positive things in life that much more.
My aunt went to college with the young lady who was killed Cherica Adams and often told me stories about them being in college she even gave my aunt a gift that my aunt still has! She said she was the sweetest person I believe it
Thanks for sharing this piece flemlo haven't been here in a while but there has been a lot of gun crimes in my town recently and your message at the end is one to take to the heart. Bless you for trying to spread positivity, love and appreciation
It's crazy because I went to high school with with him me my brother and cousin's and friends would meet up to play basketball at valley high park we all kicked it never new he would be that evil and do something like he did I'm feel Soo bad for the mom and her grandson she is Soo amazing for taking care of him and congratulations for graduating high school
This man should never have friends again no one should ever want to be around him and God got his hand on that little boy little boy is so cute God please restore him
It's been a few years since I heard this resurface, I remember the Charlotte Observer had a long form podcast series on it. Such a sad story in general...but as always sir you did a great job on a delicate topic. Salute 💪🏾
My God, i wonder if he had known that his awesome son would be his TWIN, if he would still have orchestrated that horrendous act!! What a Beautiful, Handsome, Wonderful child he is.
Love the energy you had at the end it made me feel that you felt how I felt. So sad for everyone who’s life was ruined by one man and his ability not to keep knocking up women and blaming them for that. Absolutely disgusting when someone can’t take responsibility for what they create. Instead they have to destroy.
This is truly sad bro. I’m glad you put this story out in full detail because I felt this on all levels of life. You could literally narrate for crime stories and people would feel it just as much as your sports narration 💯
I had no idea he had another son. I remember how big that story was (I live in NC) and it was right after the team had started. It was crazy
Salute for this story it's very touching and needed to be told 💙💙💙
