Social media influencer found dead after disturbing Facebook Live, ‘I need help'
During the live video, her husband, Shamarcus Carr, 29, was seen arguing with her and holding a knife. He also made strange comments, saying 'the devil' was stopping him from sharing a message.
Later, when police tried to arrest him, Shamarcus took his own life. Police are still investigating the case. The official cause of Zaria's death has not been confirmed.
Just three hours before her body was found, Zaria posted a worrying message on Facebook under the name Duchess Dior.
'I really don't know what to do. But, I need help before I lose my life or freedom! My kids need me!' International Business Times quoted her as saying.
The post shocked her followers, who quickly asked others to call emergency services.
Shamarcus, known as 'The Frenchman' on Facebook, often shared videos about his French bulldog breeding business. His wife, Zaria, was also seen in many of his posts.
Zaria's death is now under investigation, along with Shamarcus's. Some online viewers say parts of a heated argument between the couple were seen on a livestream.
In it, Zaria reportedly accused him of not helping at home but spending on other women. At one point, he was seen with a knife though Zaria appeared to laugh and downplay the threat.
So far, police and investigators haven't shared how Zaria died. A post-mortem report is awaited.
When police reached her home, Zaria's car was missing. Shamarcus was also gone. Later that night, police found the car about 80 miles away in Wayne County.
When officers tried to stop the car, Shamarcus shot himself. He was taken to the hospital but died from his injuries.

"Not A Blame Game": Karnataka Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao On Bengaluru Stampede Report
Bengaluru (Karnataka): Karnataka Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Thursday announced that strict action will be taken against those responsible for the Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede in Bengaluru, which claimed 11 lives and left more than 50 injured. After the Karnataka government submitted a status report on the June 4 stampede that occurred after Royal Challengers Bengaluru clinched their first-ever title in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League, the Karnataka Minister said, "This is not a blame game here. If there has been some mishandling of the situation, we will take action... Since so many people died, we have to wait for the report before going to any conclusion." Also Read | Report Blames RCB For Bengaluru Stampede, Mentions Virat Kohli The Karnataka government submitted a status report on the Chinnaswamy stadium stampede in Bengaluru that claimed 11 lives and left over 50 people injured to the High Court on Thursday. In its report to the High Court regarding the stampede, it has pointed to serious lapses and mismanagement from the franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru. According to the state government, no formal permission was taken from the event organiser (DNA), merely informing the police about the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) victory parade on June 3 without seeking formal approval as mandated by the 2009 city order. Consequently, the police denied permission. Despite police denial, RCB proceeded to publicly promote the event. On June 4, they shared open invitations on social media, including a video appeal by Virat Kohli, encouraging fans to attend the free-entry celebration, as per the report. "On 04.06.2025, the RCB, unilaterally and without consultation/permission from the Bangalore City Police, posted a photo at 7:01 a.m. on the official RCB handle on social media (Instagram, Facebook, 'X') informing that there is free entry for people and inviting the public to participate in the Victory Parade, which would commence at Vidhana Soudha and conclude at Chinnaswamy Stadium. A second post on Social Media was made by RCB at 8:00 a.m., reiterating this information. Subsequently, on 04.06.2025, at 8:55 am, the RCB shared a video clip of Virat Kohli on RCB's official handle @rcbtweets on X, in which he stated that the team intended to celebrate this victory with the people of Bengaluru city and RCB fans on 04.06.2025 in Bengaluru. Thereafter, RCB made one more post at 3:14 p.m. on 04.06.2024, announcing a Victory Parade to be held from Vidhana Soudha to Chinnaswamy Stadium from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, stating that this victory parade would be followed by celebrations at Chinnaswamy Stadium," the report stated. The massive turnout far exceeded expectations and crowd management capabilities. Due to overcrowding, at 3:14 p.m. on the day of the event, organisers abruptly announced that entry to the stadium would require passes, contradicting earlier messages and triggering confusion and panic. The state government said that the RCB, DNA, and KSCA failed to coordinate effectively. Mismanagement at the entry gates and delayed openings led to a stampede, resulting in injuries to seven police personnel. To prevent further unrest, the police permitted a restricted version of the event to proceed under controlled conditions. On June 4, eleven people died and more than 30 were injured in a stampede outside Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy stadium as a huge crowd of nearly 3 lakh people had gathered to witness the victory celebration of Royal Challengers Bengaluru for winning the Indian Premier League (IPL), following which the Karnataka government suspended top police officials at the Cubbon Park Police Station on June 5 and formed a one-man commission under a retired High Court Judge to probe the incident.

France court orders release of Lebanese militant after four decades in prison
France court orders release of Lebanese militant after four decades in prison Paris: A French appeals court Thursday ordered the release of pro-Palestinian Lebanese militant Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, who has been imprisoned for 40 years for the 1982 killings of two foreign diplomats. Abdallah, 74, is one of the longest serving prisoners in France, where most convicts serving life sentences are freed after less than 30 years. He has been up for release for 25 years, but the United States -- a civil party to the case -- has consistently opposed his leaving prison. Abdallah was sentenced to life in prison in 1987 for his involvement in the murders of US military attache Charles Robert Ray and Israeli diplomat Yacov Barsimantov. He has always insisted he is a "fighter" who battled for the rights of Palestinians and not a "criminal". The Paris appeals court ordered he be freed from a prison in the south of France next week, on Friday, July 25, on the condition that he leave French territory and never return. Several sources before the hearing said that it was planned for him to be flown to Paris and then to Beirut. Lebanese authorities have repeatedly said Abdallah should be freed from jail, and had written to the appeals court to say they would organise his return home. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The detainee's brother, Robert Abdallah, in Lebanon told AFP he was overjoyed. "We're delighted. I didn't expect the French judiciary to make such a decision nor for him to ever be freed, especially after so many failed requests for release," he said. "For once, the French authorities have freed themselves from Israeli and US pressures," he added. Prosecutors can file an appeal with France's highest court, the Court of Cassation, but it is not expected to be processed fast enough to halt his release next week. Political scandal Abdallah's lawyer Jean-Louis Chalanset also welcomed the decision. "It's both a judicial victory and a political scandal that he was not released earlier," he said. In November last year, a French court ordered his release conditional on Abdallah leaving France. But France's anti-terror prosecutors, arguing that he had not changed his political views, appealed the decision, which was consequently suspended. A verdict was supposed to have been delivered in February, but the Paris appeals court postponed, saying it was unclear whether Abdallah had proof that he had paid compensation to the plaintiffs, something he has consistently refused to do. The court re-examined the latest request for his release last month. During the closed-door hearing, Abdallah's lawyer told the judges that 16,000 euros had been placed on the prisoner's bank account and were at the disposal of civil parties in the case, including the United States. Abdallah still enjoys some support from several public figures in France, including left-wing members of parliament and Nobel prize-winning author Annie Ernaux, but has mostly been forgotten by the general public.
