Sibling Rivalry: Brother kills brother during an argument

Brotherly love nonexistent.

CLEVELAND — When a sibling rivalry goes tragically wrong. Rodney Curlee, 19, was thrown in the slammer after he killed his big brother, 23-year-old Tymeir Hale-Dial, out of jealousy. The Cain & Abel re-enactment transpired on October 3, 2023 in Cleveland, Ohio. According to reports, Rodney and Tymeir were at their mother’s house helping her move when an argument broke out. As the squabble intensified, Rodney pulled out a gun and opened fire — striking Tymeir multiple times. Then he stood over him and emptied the clip before fleeing the scene. Tymeir was shot at least 16 times. Their mom, Pinkie Hale, witnessed the murder while holding her 1-year-old granddaughter. “After he shot him the first time, Tymeir was just in disbelief. His whole face was like, ‘I cannot believe my brother shot me,’” Pinkie told reporters. “They were having a disagreement. Not loud or fighting, nothing, and his brother shot him and killed him over nothing. In my mind, I thought, ‘Would he shoot the baby? Would he shoot me?’ He begged him to stop, he begged him over and over again, then he stood over him and shot him some more.”

U.S. Marshals found Rodney hiding in the basement of a residence in the 1800 block of Reyburn Road. At first, he refused to come out. But they sic’d a K-9 on his ass and he hurried up and surrendered. “Another violent fugitive was taken off the streets today due to the efforts of the Cleveland Division of Police and our fugitive task force,” U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott told reporters.

“Our officers worked diligently to apprehend this fugitive as quickly and safely as possible.”

Social media reaction was vicious.

One commenter wrote, “That type of hatred usually happens when parents favor one child more than the other.”

Another chimed in with, “If he could stand over someone begging for their life and they still shoot the person 16 times, no love was ever there!”

A third person added, “Rodney was jealous because he didn’t have sh*t 💩 going on!”

What’s my take?

Sibling rivalries are real.

I remember my mom used to whoop my ass every time my little brother made a mistake — causing me and him to fist fight.

So I grew up mad at both of my parents.

However… when I got older and had kids of my own, I decided to let the sh*t go.

I’m no longer pissed at my folks.

Sh*t happens.

Can’t be angry forever.

Watch the explosive documentary.

  1. This is exactly why I don’t trust my brother. Once u threaten my life intoxicated or not I will never let my guard down around. That family shit is just a title. Sometimes family can be your worst enemy

  2. He was jealous of his brother. Before I even knew he was the youngest I knew that he been had anger issues and mama never addressed and bam right on the money. I’m blaming her. He hated him. Shit is so sad.

  3. He was jealous of his brother for years because so many people loved him!!!! You don’t shoot a person 16 times unless you have some serious pinned up anger!!! I bet he feels it’s a relief that his brother is gone… that is what jealousy does!!!!! So sad!!!

  4. Rodney (the younger brother) had demons that couldn’t stand the light in Tymeir (victim). It wasn’t personal, it was demonic. Cain killing Abel, that kind of evil still exist. God bless Tymeir’s soul

  5. Did they have different dads? It seems biology has an effect on sibling bonding.

  6. I don’t fight; I shoot to kill. He took what was in the streets into his home. He had a gun, and it did not matter who he used it on, he did not want to be known as a sucker, it was eventually going to happen. He wanted to be his brother. This is horrific.

  7. What’s really messed up is that the baby doesn’t even know what’s going on & her daddy is gone. She’s going to be looking for her daddy…she probably just thinks daddy left & he didn’t come back😔 & I know this happened in front of her but of course I don’t believe that baby processed what actually happened.💔

  8. This is 4 all the idiots who talk that FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING & Blood is thicker than water. Hell, I’m not even religious but even the Bible tells u not 2 trust family when CAIN killed his brother Abel..but most religious people are fake anyway so I’m not surprised that they would 4get one of the most important stories of warning.

  9. Demon manifested on that boy! That’s why jealousy and envy is a sin becuz if u let that sit there in your heart it will turn into evil allowing Satan to have control over you. And the mother definitely had favoritism that’s what landed them here, the young man who died had a dad the other one didn’t. Her favorite son is more attractive gets help from the father, it’s clear to see his confession is true she treated him bad and paid for it by losing her favorite. The Bible also warned us about having favorites it creates bitterness that can lead to this type of stuff.

  10. ✅Genesis 4:9-16

    Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?

  11. His brother continued to shoot after he begged him to stop…like wtf type of brother is this??😢

  12. My only 2 kids are boys 20 and 16 and they bump heads like siblings usually do but i always tell them no matter what stick together and never be against each other. She said her son stood over the other and continue shooting him that should let her know he had something against him

  13. Another black male worshipper 🤦🏽‍♀️. I don’t feel sorry for this mammie.

  14. My brother hates me like this, always has even at 1 years old he attacked me so viciously my mother had to beat him off me and it was a big time beating he wouldn’t stop biting me had hold of me like a pitbull locked on and shaking. Tried to kill me 2 more times and did many other evil things

  15. Wow. Jealous siblings is crazy crazy thing. I bet he did everything for his brother and he still did this

  16. But yet black people still don’t wanna get away from the western world….when will we learn this shit ain’t for us all it does is destroy us in the end….

  17. @Ebony Brown: DEPENDING ON THE CALIBER OF THE WEAPON AND THE CAPACITY OF THE CHOICE OF MAGAZINE (SWEETHEART.)

  18. My lil brother got a 🔫 for another 🥷 to cause me harm after telling ppl for months how he can’t wait until I get unalived 🤦🏾‍♂️ ppl tell me I should forgive him and that he’s still my lil brother, but this situation is how I don’t want to end up. Just because ppl your blood 🩸 don’t make them your family 💯
