Jesus Take The Wheel: Queens Man Kills Wife And Daughters Before Taking His Own Life

A Nassau county bus driver shot his wife and two daughters before putting the 9mm pistol to his head Monday morning in Queens. The apparent murder-suicide was accompanied by a note from the father, Mark Bailey, apologizing for the acts of violence.

Police found four bodies with gunshot wounds to the head at 145-20 230th Place in Springfield Gardens; Bailey shot his wife and two daughters in their bedrooms, while he was discovered in a living room chair. All four were shot using the same 9mm pistol.

Police sources say a note from Bailey was discovered in the kitchen, with the simple apology, “I am sorry. Love, Mark.”

Bailey’s family moved to the U.S. from Jamaica almost 20 years ago. Wife, Dionne, 42, was an assistant principal at Philip Randolph High School. His 19-year-old daughter Yonique was a student at Stony Brook University, while 14-year-old Yolon attended Cardozo High School.

Family members feared something was wrong after Dionne Bailey’s sister and a co-worker, Dorrett Combs came by to give her a ride to work around 7 a.m., but she never showed up and no one answered the door or phone. Her brother-in-law and a family friend were then called to check on the home, and they called police after they were unable to get in. The first officers to arrive left, saying they couldn’t do anything.

It was only then that Dionne’s brother-in-law peered into an open window and saw one of the deceased. “I looked in and saw someone under the covers,” he said. “I reached in and felt a leg and felt it was kind of stiff.”

His friend saw blood on the pillow and called police back to the scene. The cops then kicked down the front door and found Mark Bailey dead in the a living room chair.

Dionne’s sister, Angela Brooks, said that the couple had had a fight recently, although she did not know what it was about. She said the argument prompted her sister to stay with a friend until she cooled off.

SMH. What a terrible tragedy. What could possibly be so wrong in life that would make anyone murder their whole family before killing themselves? Those girls had their whole lives ahead of them. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family.

    I’m a man, moron…And to be honest, You are the one who needs to go back to school..Examples:

    “Cluless” is misspelled ..IT’s “CLUELESS”, and “STUPIS” is spelled wrong, too!! It’s “STUPID”….STUPID…But then again, judging from your poor attempt at trying to get at me, it’s obvious that you come from the South, and we all know that the educational systems there aren’t exactly up to par, now don’t we???

    Horrible, horrible tragedy. My deepest condolences to the loved ones of all the victims.

    “What could possibly be so wrong in life that would make anyone murder their whole family before killing themselves?”

    I’ve noticed in the past year, as the economy has worsened, that there has been a significant increase in these depressing stories of the murders of entire families. There was a story, for example, of a man who murdered his family in Baltimore, reportedly because of his increasing financial problems and inability to cover his children’s expenses. I’m unsure what the circumstances are in this latest crime, but I’ve noted a pattern of financial difficulties and mental illness in a number of cases I’ve come across.

    These are very, very stressful, difficult times for a lot of people.

    its crazy to me that if a Muslims did this he a terrorist..anybody else a criminal act…Yooooo they got it all so twisted..

    _______________________________________________

    Not really…The fact that I’m intimately familiar with the 9mm not being capable of killing man-sized targets begs to say that the shooter could have easily ended up not killing himself while discharging said weapon into his head, or his intended victims’ heads either…It really doesn’t take much for a 9mm projectile to glance off of the skull, and more often than not, they don’t offer enough penetrating force to do so…Just sayin…It’s tragic that the man committed this crime, but it would be far worse had the bullets made the victims into vegetables…That was my point…

  • Tigerlily212

    Agreed w/Sydney-
    There have been more stories coming out w/ ppl being suicidal and homicidal..stress gets to ppl and they may not be able to cope. God rest their souls and condolences to the rest of the family. No matter how hard times may get or what’s going on in your life, things will get better. Life is too precious to give up on account of anything in this world.

  • tiffany

    What would make people kill they family? If you suffering seek help but do not take it out on yo family. Black people do not go to therapy but its needed for the ones mentally ill.

    Man, is it the economy, what is up with all these people killing their entire family, Kids and all. This is indeed becoming way way to common.

    @Tigerlily212

    “There have been more stories coming out w/ ppl being suicidal and homicidal..stress gets to ppl and they may not be able to cope.”

    I believe, very tragically, that there will be more stories to come. If I’m not mistaken, we’re in the worst economy since the Great Depression, and the unemployment rate is still very high (particularly in the black community). Many people are scared and are becoming increasingly desperate and despondent as they face an uncertain future. I’ve read articles about how a growing number of the “new poor” include members of the middle class who had never previously depended on public assistance. I saw the news yesterday of a new massive jobs creation proposal in the Senate that I’ll have to read more about.

    A number of men who are accustomed to being dependable providers for their families are finding themselves in a state of helplessness, and I think that’s a factor in some of these criminal cases. Just my opinion.

  • Richard

    I don’t believe it. The note is too short. Somebady killed those people.

    When aren’t married couples having arguments.

    His wife …yes. His daughters no.

  • Sydney™ (Dorothy Height)

    Good morning, Day, I’m glad you exited the topic of 9mms vs. .45s. . .

    I found more information about this particular story on the New York Times’ website, btw. The wife had reportedly left her husband briefly last year after finding his gun underneath their bed.

    I doubt that lady. I think people just stay mute.

  • Sydney™ (Dorothy Height)

    Did anyone notice that the comments section has been changed back?

  • John

    @Syd

    I dont think it was. Go to other Kardashian post, it look the same. Wuz up lady?

  • Sydney™ (Dorothy Height)

    Hi John, I see the posts are still in reverse order, but you no longer have to scroll through pages. This is confusing. . .

  • John

    LOL@Marquis

    @Syd

    You still have to scroll them.

  • John

    @Day

    Why would I lie? Ask Syd if she think it is two different people. If she say no, I will stop accusing you dawg.

  • John

    Ask Marquis to since they both here. They both smart.

  • Marquis de Sade

    Syd & John
    :lol: Looks’ like y’all typed/spoke too soon.

  • Tigerlily212

    @Sydney
    Agreed-and unfortunately there’s never been a strong sense of support for our community when it comes to things like this, besides the church which is an entirely different subject matter. On top of other factors such as perhaps having too much pride to ask for help and how materialistic ppl have become esp within the black comm, it can be too much for some to deal with esp w/ the pressure of having to maintain a certain lifestyle vs just shifting your wants and needs to accomodate what’s going on.

    Why don’t you just post the site like you said you would?? I ain’t gotta ask any body any damn thing!! You said you knew where it was, so post it, or be looked at as a liar….Simple as that…

  • John

    @Marquis

    Looks’ like y’all typed/spoke too soon.
    ==========================

    Naw I knew the comments page was sill here. I saw it in the Kardashian post.

    @Daydreamer

    And to be honest, ol’ girl has always had a nice azz!! That booty ain’t never been flat since I’ve been dating her!! I think you probably need some glazzes or something, cause I don’t get at chicks who ain’t got no azz, bruh..And I doubt it’ll take you a minute to find any damn thing, because it’s more like “fornever”, cause you ain’t gonna find what doesn’t exist, unless you have access to the memory stick in my digital camera. And you ain’t gotta look for me, cause I ain’t a hard man to find…
    =================================

    You aint reply to Choco cause you know she know whats up. That is two different azzes. You cant fool me dawg. I dont think you had any puzzy lately dawg. OK Daydreamer. Why would I lie about yo two pics? Like I say, ask Marquis and Syd if they think the people in yo avatar are two different people. I bet you won’t do that shyt.

  • John

    @Daydreamer

    I ain’t gotta ask any body any damn thing!! You said you knew where it was, so post it, or be looked at as a liar….Simple as that…
    =================================

    I said I will find it. I have to remember where I saw it. I know I aint lying. It is you here got different pics up of different people passing em off like they yo chic. I call it like I see it.

    Answer my question. Why would I lie on you Daydreamer?

  • John

    @Daydreamer

    The longer you reply, it just shows you lying. A person that would really have a pic up of they real girl would just say what they got to say and walk away if they were gettin accused.

  • Bdot

    In other news, the economy is really improving, isn’t it??

  • John

    @Marquis

    I heard The Informant was really good dawg. I aint seen it yet.

    I gots to get ready for work. They got me on second shift now.

  • Sydney™ (Dorothy Height)

    I guess I did write too soon. So bizarre. . .

    I didn’t comment in the thread posted over the weekend about suicides committed by black men, but I thought some of the posts expressing incredulity that there are brothers and sisters whose emotional instability has reached the point of them considering/or actually ending their lies were very telling. As a community, I believe we still refuse to honestly and directly confront the issue of mental illness and factors that contribute to emotional instability, such as what I think we now see occurring with the deteriorating job market. A number of us believe it is “weak” or “crazy” to ask for help, but asking for help can, and does, save lives. If a person has thoughts of harming himself or others, it is imperative that an outside party becomes involved to prevent a tragedy like this from occurring.

    Now I put a lot of significance and value on matters of faith, but there are circumstances that call for the assistance of a licensed professional. Sometimes, it takes more than prayer to help a person overcome a difficult, seemingly helpless situation.

  • JC ‘o Bklyn

    This suicide/homicide smells like “you’re leaving me? If I can’t have you, then no one can”.

  • JoVah

    Coward. Just take yourself out man. Let your family live on without your punk ass. Jesus take the wheel.

    I had a friend. Didn’t know the guy was psychotic. He killed his three kids and himself and then he left his wife living. His reasons according to the suicide note. He wanted his wife to suffer with the pain for the rest of her life that she caused him to kill their kids. Just stupid.

  • MrTavMarie

    didn’t this happen a year ago with some Kaiser Permanente Doctors in California?

    I’m having serious deja vu…
