A Wisconsin mother has admitted to taking the life of her teenage daughter, claiming it was to shield her from Elon Musk, according to prosecutors. Following the incident, she contacted 911, requesting a hearse for her daughter.

Tyiece Oninski, aged 41, has been formally charged with first-degree intentional homicide in connection with the death of her 14-year-old daughter, Kuren Rein.

On March 20, Oninski reached out to the Rock County Communications Center’s non-emergency line, revealing that she had killed her daughter and had attempted to take her own life the previous night at their residence in the Town of Turtle.

Oninski stated she killed Rein to “protect her from somebody else, period,” later identifying this person as Elon Musk, as detailed in the criminal complaint obtained by WMTV.

The reasons behind Oninski’s belief that the Tesla CEO posed a threat to her daughter, a freshman at Beloit Memorial High School, remain unclear.

When the dispatcher inquired about sending an ambulance for Rein, Oninski reportedly responded, “She’s dead, honey. She needs a hearse,” according to the complaint.

When police arrived at the scene, they discovered Oninski with lacerations on her neck, both wrists and an apparent stab wound on her temple, WKOW reported.

Rein was found inside the house, face down, surrounded by a pool of blood, deceased from multiple stab wounds, according to the court document.

Investigators noted a knife and sheath were found nearby, and a partial barefoot footprint was found inside the home. 

A detective then discovered that Oninski’s left foot appeared to have red staining on the bottom, the complaint stated.

Oninski was taken to the hospital, where prosecutors say she tested positive for benzodiazepines, amphetamines and THC.

She has been booked at the Rock County Jail and is being held on a $1 million bond. Her next court appearance is scheduled for April 14.

If convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, Oninski faces a sentence of life behind bars.

A funeral for Rein has been organized for April 3. Her family has launched a GoFundMe to help pay for the expenses.

‘Our hearts are shattered as we share the unimaginable loss of a beautiful 14-year-old life taken far too soon,’ the fundraiser stated. 

‘She was loved deeply and will be missed beyond measure. Her life mattered, and she deserves to be honored with dignity and care.’ 

The dispatcher asked if they should call an ambulance for Rein, and Oninski allegedly replied, ‘She’s dead, honey. She needs a hearse’

It is unclear why Oninski identified the Tesla founder as the person her daughter, who was a freshman at Beloit Memorial High School, needed protection from

Megan Oninski, Rein’s aunt, told WMTV that ‘Kuren was kind, intelligent, and maintained such contagious optimism, even in the darkest of times.’

‘This tragedy is the devastating ending to a years-long battle amongst family members and the overworked system put in place to protect our children,’ she added.

‘Our hope, coming out of this terrible event for so many, is that it is an unforgettable reminder to stay fighting for change in our society, to keep love and faith alive, and to keep joy in the connections made throughout life. She will be missed by so many.’  

Aimee Sorensen, whose stepson was friends with Rein, said the two would regularly spend time together after school.

‘She was always fun to be around. She brought out the best in our son. He can be very quiet and shy, and she was always very laughy and giggly, and just always super friendly and respectful,’ Sorensen told WKOW.

Neighbor Karen Miller said Rein was a great student who hoped to join the military and loved animals.

‘Very devastating. Kuren was a wonderful young lady,’ said Miller. ‘She was just a wonderful, beautiful soul.’
