JACKSONVILLE, FL—Remembered as a "kind-hearted, warm soul" by family members during a vigil in his childhood neighbourhood, 22-year-old Oscar Barnes was found strangled to death Saturday afternoon after making a minor spelling mistake in a Discord message.

"There is an ongoing investigation to find the perpetrator who took Mr. Barnes's life," said Detective Micheal Burnett during a press briefing from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office headquarters. "We are actively pursuing multiple lines of inquiry. As of now, we believe Barnes was attacked after he made a typo in a message sent to what my son has explained to me as an online chatroom application called ‘Discord.’ I am currently attempting to find this so-called chatroom, but have yet to find an address. If you or anyone you know has any information regarding where this chatroom is physically located, please contact your local police department immediately."

According to authorities, Mr. Barnes was found deceased in his bedroom with strangulation marks around his neck Saturday afternoon, having been killed approximately 16 seconds after he accidentally used "your" instead of "you're." while messaging in a Discord server centred around the video game franchise Fallout. The speed at which the perpetrator reached Barnes's residence has led investigators to conclude they must either live in the immediate local area or have access to technology like the TARDIS. Tragically, sources close to the investigation confirmed Barnes was actively in the process of editing his message to correct the typo mere moments before his demise.

"LOL R.I.P. bozo," wrote xX-TARDIS_Owner_67-Xx, a moderator of the Fallout Discord server where Barnes made the fatal typo. "That stupid asshole didn't even understand basic grammar! Like seriously, who doesn't know the difference between ‘your’ and ‘you're?!’ I mean, I guess maybe you. I know journalists from The Wasted Onion are meant to be smart, but looking at that PFP you have, your [sic] definitely a moron LMAO."

At press time, zZ-The-Doctors-Assistant_42-Zz, xX-TARDIS_Owner_67-Xx's "Discord kitten," reported him to the local police, accusing him of failing to gift her a year of Discord Nitro as promised, and less importantly wasting his time murdering people over typos.
