Jury selection begins for Riverview man accused of killing girlfriend, young daughter
Jury selection started Monday in the murder trial of Ronald O’Neal III, who is facing the death penalty for allegedly killing his girlfriend and their 9-year-old daughter in 2018.
O’Neal is accused of murdering his girlfriend, Kenyatta Barron, their daughter, 9-year-old Ron’Niveya, and attempting to kill his son, Ronnie Jr.
O’Neal’s son, who was 8 years old at the time, barely survived the attack, officials said. Ronnie Jr. suffered a collapsed lung, stab wounds that exposed his intestines and severe burns from a fire his father allegedly set after the brutal attack.
From his hospital bed, Ronnie O’Neal Jr. told detectives what happened to him, explaining his father attacked his sister with an ax and used a knife to stab him. Barron was found dead in a neighbor’s yard. She’d been beaten and shot, detectives said.
