Earl Valentine’s Video Caught His ‘Facebook Live’ Murder Confession: ‘I Just Killed My Mother******* Wife’
Earl Valentine did not yet know that his ex-wife was not dead when Valentine recorded the following “Facebook Live” video, which has been uploaded to YouTube and is going viral. Although Earl’s original video was removed from Facebook, it has been captured on other social networking accounts — and is receiving plenty of backlash for the hubris Earl displays when he speaks of his ex-wife deserving to be murdered.

As reported by the New York Daily News, Valentine failed to kill his ex-wife but did succeed at murdering his own son. The 15-year-old who shared Earl’s name was gunned down by Valentine. The younger Valentine was able to contact police in his final dying moments to reach out for help.
Update: Valentine has been found dead, according to WRAL.
Earl had kicked open the back door to the home that Keisha Valentine shared with their son in the wee hours of Tuesday morning — even as Keisha tried to use her body to block Valentine from entering the home. As reported by WRAL, Keisha was shot in her home in Norlina, North Carolina, at 403 Hyco Street.
Norlina is a small town approximately 60 miles northeast of Raleigh and close to the Virginia state line.
Not only did Earl take to Facebook to record the aftermath of his ugly deeds on a live and streaming basis, Valentine also contacted police. During that contact, Earl reportedly told police that he planned to head to Richmond, Virginia, to take the lives of additional family members.
Valentine’s warnings to cops sound more like a man trying to commit “suicide by cop,” since Earl took the time to warn authorities of Valentine’s next planned steps.
As a result, police were on the hunt for Valentine, with a manhunt underway for Earl, as reported by the New York Post.
Police are searching North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia for any sight of Earl.
The most recent reports in Google News as of this writing say that Keisha’s condition is stable — yet critical. Keisha had moved from the Charlotte area in order to get away from Earl, bringing their son with her to Norlina.
The latest news reports in Google News about Earl, as of this writing, still call him a fugitive on the run. The booking photo of Valentine that can be seen in the above video is from a previous arrest.
“What’s up everybody? I just killed my mother******* wife. I loved my wife, but she deserved what she had coming. I know a lot of y’all are going to be disappointed in me, but it was something that had to be done. She lied on me, had warrants taken out on me. She drug me all the way down to nothing. I don’t feel no remorse for what I did.”
Both Keisha and her son were shot at point-blank range in their chest areas. Police believe that the younger Valentine male tried to protect his mother when Earl shot him in the chest and killed him. Valentine does not mention killing his own son in the Facebook video. Ultimately, the teenager died.
Due to the death of the younger Valentine, Earl faces a first-degree murder charge.
Philando Castile was famously captured in a live video on Facebook after being shot by police in the St. Paul suburb of Falcon Heights.
