A tragic incident unfolded in Wisconsin where a mother reportedly claimed she was attempting to “protect” her 14-year-old daughter from billionaire Elon Musk when she fatally stabbed the teenager.
Tyiece Oninski, now facing charges of first-degree intentional homicide, contacted the Rock County Sheriff’s Office’s non-emergency line on March 20. According to a probable cause affidavit, she admitted to “murdering” her daughter the previous night and then attempting to take her own life.
During the 13-minute call, Oninski allegedly confessed to stabbing her daughter and then attempting to harm herself with the same knife. She described lying down next to her daughter’s body, waiting to die, but said her attempt was unsuccessful, as detailed in the affidavit.
When the dispatcher inquired if an ambulance was necessary for the teenager, Oninski reportedly replied, “She’s dead, honey. She needs a hearse,” while indicating that she required medical assistance for herself.
Oninski explained she had sustained injuries in “the bedroom, where I murdered my daughter,” and mentioned that her wounds affected her chest and lungs.
When asked why she’d taken her daughter’s life, Oninski allegedly said it was “to protect her from somebody else,” then later claimed she was trying to protect her Musk. She didn’t provide any details on why she believed she needed to protect the teen from the tech mogul.
Deputies went to the home to conduct a welfare check and discovered the teen—identified in the court documents only as K.R.—laying face down in a “large amount of blood” in a four-season porch that was converted into a bedroom. She showed no signs of defensive wounds and had injuries to her neck and right wrist, authorities said. She was found lying on the ground with her feet toward the door and her arms tucked under her head.
Multiple local media outlets including WTVO and WKOW identified the teen as Kuren Rein.
A black pocket knife was found near the body.
Her grandfather, who owns the home, told deputies that he woke up that morning and thought she had gone to school.
Oninski was found with a deep cut to her neck, cuts to her wrist and a stab to her temple, according to the affidavit.
She was brought to the hospital where she “enthusiastically” asked “So is my name like, all over the news yet?” then seemed noticeably disappointed when it wasn’t, according to the affidavit.
After toxicology reports were conducted, authorities said she had benzodiazepines, amphetamines and THC in her blood.
A spokesperson for the Rock County Sheriff’s Office told Oxygen it remains an active investigation.
Oninski is currently being held on a $1 million bond. Court records reviewed by Oxygen showed that she appeared via video for an initial court appearance on March 30, where she was read the charges against her. Oxygen reached out to her attorney Matt Lantta, but did not receive an immediate reply. Her next court appearance is scheduled for April 14.
