A Wisconsin mother told police she stabbed her 14-year-old daughter to death because she believed she was protecting the girl from Elon Musk, according to a criminal complaint.
Tyiece Oninski, who lives in the Town of Turtle in Rock County, called police on March 20 and confessed to killing her daughter, Kuren Rein, the night before.
During the roughly 13-minute call, Oninski first told dispatchers she acted to protect her daughter from someone else before naming the billionaire tech mogul directly, according to the complaint.
When asked whether she needed medical assistance, Oninski made clear what officers would find.
“She’s dead, honey. She needs a hearse,” she told the dispatcher.
Officers arrived at the home and found the teenage girl deceased from multiple stab wounds inside the residence.
A knife and sheath were located nearby, and investigators spotted a partial bare footprint at the scene.
Authorities later determined Oninski’s left foot appeared stained with blood, matching the footprint recovered inside the home.
Oninski also had visible injuries to her neck and wrists, which investigators linked to an apparent suicide attempt following the killing.
She was taken to a hospital, where tests showed benzodiazepines, amphetamines, and THC in her system.
While receiving treatment, Oninski asked a deputy whether the incident had made the news and appeared upset when told it had not.
A judge later set her bond at $1 million during a court appearance Monday. Her next hearing is scheduled for April 14.

David Contreras, 54, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2023 killing of his 21-year-old son, Eric Contreras, in Miami.
“I’m sorry. This is something I can’t get back. I wish there was some way I could. I’m the one who has to live with it and I’ve accepted it,” Contreras told the court.
Judge David Young immediately pushed back on that claim.
“You have to live with it, sir?” Young replied. “Your wife has to live with it, sir. Your other son has to live with it, sir. Your future grandchildren have to live with it, sir. A lot of people. It’s horrible.”
Contreras bowed his head down as the judge continued, then handed down a sentence of 12 years in prison followed by 10 years of probation.
The shooting happened on Nov. 3, 2023, after an argument between father and son.
After pulling the trigger, Contreras called 911 and admitted what he had done.
“I’d been fighting with my son and I lost it on him,” he told dispatchers. “He wouldn’t stop.”
Prosecutors later pointed to evidence suggesting the victim was crouching or kneeling when he was shot.
Contreras originally faced a second-degree murder charge before reaching a plea agreement.
In Ohio, the discovery of two young girls’ remains inside suitcases has led to a flood of charges against their mother.
A man walking his dog stumbled across one of the suitcases in a residential area near a field on March 4.
Phillip Donaldson said his dog stopped near what looked like a pile of dirt, prompting him to take a closer look.
“I went back and looked, and it was a suitcase that was half buried, and I pulled it up and looked in it, and it was a head. Somebody’s head in it,” Donaldson told local media.
He said the location, near a school, made the discovery even more disturbing.
“It’s really sad to see something like this,” he added. “I had been walking past that for at least a week before I even thought to check it.”
Police identified 28-year-old Aliyah Henderson as the suspect and arrested her in connection with the killings.
She now faces more than two dozen charges, including aggravated murder, kidnapping, and abuse of corpses.
Authorities have not disclosed how the girls were killed or when the killings took place.
Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd addressed the case, calling it a devastating situation.
“We are hoping to find answers,” Todd said. “This is a terrible, tragic situation.”
Investigators said the bodies had been at the site for some time but confirmed they had not been dismembered.
The children were later identified as 10-year-old Amor Wilson and 8-year-old Mila Chatman, who were half-siblings.
Prosecutors said the remains were badly decomposed when they were recovered.
A third child was found at Henderson’s home in good condition and was placed into the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services.
Henderson entered a not guilty plea during her initial court appearance, speaking only briefly to acknowledge the proceedings.
A judge set her bond at $2 million, citing the severity of the allegations and concerns for public safety.
She is scheduled to appear in court again next week for a pretrial hearing.
