WXII says Ziyaire Spinks was in Forsyth County court Monday on a murder charge. NBC News, on Sunday, spelled him Ziyaire Antonyo Spinks.

WXII, updated at 11:54 a.m. EST on Nov. 9, 2026, says he is due back Nov. 19 and that Alyssa Ellerbee is 22. NBC News, updated at 3:50 p.m. EST on Nov. 8, says Alyssa Janae Ellerbee is 19 and spells the second man Cequon Warren Brower, 18. 9NEWS, carrying the Associated Press and updated at 4:51 p.m. MST on Nov. 8, does not print those names.

A first appearance on Monday, on WXII, is not a trial date. Murder, on WXII and on the Associated Press account 9NEWS published, and murder plus assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, on NBC News, are not the same charge line. No bond, on all three, is the custody status they print. It is not a finding. WXII says he is due back Nov. 19. The Sunday pages do not print that date.

WXII, updated at 11:54 a.m. EST on Nov. 9, 2026, with no reporter's name on the byline fetched here, reported that two men charged in one of two shootings on Winston-Salem State University's campus during homecoming weekend appeared in Forsyth County Court Monday morning. It reported Winston-Salem police arrested Ziyaire Spinks, 20, and Cequan Brower, 19, in the shooting that occurred Saturday, just after 9:45 p.m., in the 600 block of South Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. It reported neither man is a WSSU student. It reported Peyton Patterson, 19, died in the shooting and was not a WSSU student, and that Alyssa Ellerbee, 22, was also shot, taken to a hospital, treated, and released. It reported police have not released any information about whether Ellerbee is a WSSU student. NBC News, by Freddie Clayton, Bella LoBue, Insiya Gandhi, and Doha Madani, Nov. 8, 2026, at 10:09 a.m. EST, updated at 3:50 p.m. EST, reported Ziyaire Antonyo Spinks, 20, was arrested in connection with a shooting that killed Peyton Izaia Patterson, 19. Ziyaire Antonyo Spinks, on NBC News, and Ziyaire Spinks, on WXII, are not the same name. Peyton Izaia Patterson, on NBC News, and Peyton Patterson, on WXII, are not the same name. NBC News does not print, in the story fetched here, whether Patterson was a student. It reported the shooting injured Alyssa Janae Ellerbee, 19, who was treated at a hospital and later released. Age 19, and Alyssa Janae, on NBC News, and age 22, and Alyssa, on WXII, are not the same age and not the same name. 9NEWS published an Associated Press account, published at 11:47 a.m. MST on November 8, 2026, and updated at 4:51 p.m. MST, and it prints that Montoya Bryan reported from Albuquerque. It reported officers heard gunshots around 9:45 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, found a 19-year-old man with a gunshot wound, and that he died at the scene. It reported a 22-year-old woman who had what appeared to be a gunshot wound was taken to a hospital, treated, and later released. A 19-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman, on that Associated Press account, are the ages without the names WXII and NBC News print. Around 9:45 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, on 9NEWS, just after 9:45 p.m. Saturday, on WXII, and 9:46 p.m., on NBC News, are not the same clock. WXII's Monday story says Saturday and does not print Nov. 7. What appeared to be a gunshot wound, on 9NEWS, and was also shot, on WXII, and injured, on NBC News, are not the same medical line.

The charge line is not one line. WXII says Spinks is charged with murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and felony possession of a firearm on educational property. 9NEWS says Assistant Chief Jason Swaim said the investigation led to Ziyaire Spinks, 20, who was arrested and being held without bond on charges of murder, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm on educational property. NBC News says he was charged with murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and felony possession of a firearm on an educational campus. With intent to kill inflicting serious injury, on NBC News, is not on the WXII charge line and it is not on the 9NEWS charge line. Felony possession, on WXII and on NBC News, and possession, on 9NEWS, are not the same word. Educational property, on WXII and on 9NEWS, and an educational campus, on NBC News, are not the same place-word. Held without bond is on all three. WXII says that if convicted, Spinks could face a maximum sentence of the death penalty, that he will remain in jail without bond, and that he is set to appear in court next on Nov. 19. That death-penalty sentence is WXII's. It is not a notice, on the pages read here, that prosecutors filed a capital designation. Nov. 19 is WXII's. It is not on the Sunday NBC News story and it is not on the Sunday 9NEWS story. WXII says that in court the Asheboro native was quiet and hung his head low. Asheboro is WXII's. It is not on the other two pages.

What the district attorney's office said in court Monday is on WXII and not on the Sunday stories. WXII says the district attorney's office said the incident began when three men, Spinks, Brower, and Patterson, approached a group of women who were behind Gleason Hall, that the men asked the women to share their Instagram handles, and that when the women declined, Brower called one of them an expletive and pushed her. It says a brother of one of the women approached to defend his sister, that a fight broke, and that it ended in Spinks firing the shots that killed Patterson and injured Ellerbee. It says Patterson died at the scene, and that Spinks and Brower then ran and changed clothes. Behind Gleason Hall, the handles, the push, and changed clothes are WXII's account of that office. They are not on the NBC News story fetched here and they are not on the 9NEWS story. 9NEWS says the shooting stemmed from an argument between two groups of people. NBC News says it stemmed from an altercation between two groups, according to Jason Swaim, assistant chief of the Winston-Salem police Field Services Bureau. An argument, on 9NEWS, an altercation, on NBC News, and a fight after a push, on WXII's Monday account, are not the same description. Assistant Chief, on 9NEWS, and assistant chief of the Field Services Bureau, on NBC News, are not the same title line. The brother is not named here. The women in the group are not named here. WXII says Brower is charged with misdemeanor affray, with the potential for more charges to be added, and that if convicted he could spend a maximum of two months in jail. It says the judge reduced his bond to $5,000 secured and ordered him to stay away from Winston-Salem State and Ellerbee, and that he is set to appear again on Dec. 15. It says Brower is also from Randolph County. NBC News says an additional person, Cequon Warren Brower, 18, was arrested in connection with fighting. Cequon Warren Brower, on NBC News, and Cequan Brower, on WXII, are not the same spelling. Age 18, on NBC News, and age 19, on WXII, are not the same age. In connection with fighting, on NBC News, and misdemeanor affray, on WXII, are not the same charge word. The $5,000 bond, the stay-away order, and Dec. 15 are WXII's Monday account. They are not on the Sunday pages. 9NEWS does not name Brower.

The record WXII described in court and the record NBC News described on Sunday are not the same record. WXII says the district attorney brought up Spinks' record in other nearby counties, that Spinks is on probation in Randolph County for reckless driving and carrying a concealed gun, and that he has pending cases in Guilford County for charges including robbery with a dangerous weapon and other firearm-related charges. NBC News says court records show a pending case in Randolph County involving charges of carrying a concealed weapon and marijuana possession from an arrest in March, and that the lawyer representing him in the March case told NBC News on Sunday that he was unaware of the new charges in Winston-Salem, in Forsyth County. On probation for reckless driving and carrying a concealed gun, on WXII, and a pending case from March for carrying a concealed weapon and marijuana possession, on NBC News, are not the same Randolph County line. NBC News says he was indicted in October on charges of felony conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery with a dangerous weapon, that the incident is alleged to have occurred last year, and that the indictment was filed on Oct. 5. Indicted, conspiracy, and Oct. 5, on NBC News, and pending cases including robbery with a dangerous weapon, on WXII, are not the same Guilford County line. 9NEWS does not print those counties. The second shooting is not one status. NBC News says police have determined the shooting to be an isolated incident, not connected to a separate shooting that also occurred on campus Saturday night, and that another shooting was reported at 10:22 p.m., that officers found two people with gunshot wounds, and that no arrests had been made in that case Sunday afternoon. 9NEWS says a second shooting happened less than an hour later, that Swaim said two people were injured when gunfire erupted following an altercation, and that authorities were investigating to determine if there was any connection, with no arrests in the second case. Determined not connected, on NBC News, and investigating to determine if there was any connection, on 9NEWS, are not the same status. 10:22 p.m., on NBC News, and less than an hour later, on 9NEWS, are not the same clock. WXII's Monday story says one of two shootings and does not print a new arrest in the second. The murder charge against Ziyaire Spinks is a charge. It is not a conviction. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Trials

The Journal Gazette says Dairyon Cortez McClendon was sentenced to 78 years. WPTA prints 60 years for murder and 18 years on a gun count and does not print 78.

Sixty plus 18 is 78 on The Journal Gazette. WPTA prints 60 and 18 and does not print the sum. Jurors, in the Journal Gazette lede, and a two-day bench trial, in the prosecutor's September 17 release, are not the same finder of fact. Vacated, on Monday's Journal Gazette story, is not the same status as a Monday story that still lists felony murder and does not say it was vacated. The 60 years and the 18 years are the sentence imposed Monday.

SABC News says the defense called Thabiso Buthelezi on Monday for Mthobisi Mncube in the Senzo Meyiwa trial in Pretoria.

A witness describing what a dead man reportedly claimed is not that man's testimony. SABC's morning story said the High Court sitting was expected. The afternoon story says a new witness is on the stand. Expected, and on the stand, are not the same status. Five men standing trial is not a verdict.

Gov. Gavin Newsom speaking into a microphone at a rally
Trials

By Crime Talk Network Staff Writer

Newsom's Nov. 5 letter says he has decided to commute all 548 death sentences. The Los Angeles Times says about 40 percent need no court. His letter to the justices asks for a recommendation on 382.

Has decided, plans to change, will commute, and a headline that says he commutes are not the same tense. 382 of 548 is not about 40 percent, and it is not around 60 percent. A recommendation he has requested is not a commutation in effect. Life without parole, on the fact sheet, is not a release, not a pardon, and not a new finding on the conviction. Marc Klaas, in The Press Democrat, described the clemency as a knife in the back. The child is not named here.
