近日，美國田納西州孟菲斯市發生震驚社會的兇殺案件，一名黑人男子布蘭登·伊莎貝爾因不想成為父親，將其剛出生僅兩天的女兒棄入密西西比河，並在此之前射殺了女友丹妮爾·霍伊爾。密西西比河中有鱷魚出沒，令案件更添駭人聽聞之感，而警方迄今仍未找到女嬰的遺體。

此案始於2022年4月，孟菲斯警方在市區發現一輛廢棄車輛，附近則找到遭槍擊身亡的女子。經調查確認，該女子為丹妮爾·霍伊爾。警方隨後循線鎖定其男友布蘭登，並將其逮捕。案件經過審理，布蘭登承認自己在女兒出生後兩天內，因不願承擔父親責任而將嬰兒丟入河中。

目前，布蘭登面臨嚴重的刑事指控，包括兩項一級謀殺罪、加重兒童虐待罪、忽視罪以及加重綁架罪。案件的悲劇性與殘酷性，引發社會高度關注，也再次凸顯家庭暴力與新生兒安全的公共議題。

A shocking criminal case recently unfolded in Memphis, Tennessee, where a man, Brandon Isabelle, killed his girlfriend Danielle Hoyle and, shortly after, discarded their newborn daughter—only two days old—into the Mississippi River. The river, known to have alligators, adds to the chilling nature of the crime, and authorities have yet to recover the infant’s body.

The case began in April 2022, when Memphis police discovered an abandoned vehicle and, nearby, the body of a woman who had been shot. Investigation confirmed the victim as Danielle Hoyle. Police subsequently traced and arrested her boyfriend, Brandon Isabel. During legal proceedings, Brandon admitted that he had thrown the baby into the river because he did not want to become a father.

Brandon currently faces serious criminal charges, including two counts of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, neglect, and aggravated kidnapping. The brutality and tragedy of the case have drawn significant public attention, highlighting broader societal concerns about domestic violence and the safety of newborns.
