There was a man who was homeless and had recently become famous thanks to a heartwarming video on TikTok. However, it turns out that this man has a history of violence, according to a report that has recently come out.
In the viral TikTok video, a young college student named Sanai Graden had encountered this man, who had asked her for a hot cup of tea. In a series of now-deleted videos, she spent the day with him, affectionately calling him "Unc." She even went as far as purchasing medicine and getting him a hotel room for the night. The man's real name is Alonzo Hebron.
Moved by the man's situation, Graden created a GoFundMe page to raise money for him. She wanted to help him with his battle against prostate cancer. The heartwarming video quickly gained attention and resulted in over $400,000 in donations.
However, just a few days after the video went viral, Fox 5 released a report that shed light on Hebron's past. According to the report, Hebron had a history of violence. There was a police report that stated he had assaulted a homeless woman who was sleeping outside a church in Washington, D.C. Surveillance footage showed Hebron placing a scarf over the woman's head and repeatedly punching her.
The victim, who wished to remain anonymous, shared her story with Fox 5 News. She said she woke up in the hospital with no recollection of what had happened to her. "I'm at a loss for words," she said. "I can't understand how someone can behave in such a way. He must be a sociopath with no sense of remorse."
The victim also revealed that Hebron had a reputation for being violent within the homeless community. In another incident, Hebron was sentenced to five years in prison in 2012 for allegedly stabbing a man in the neck with a screwdriver.
Despite everything that the victim had endured at the hands of Hebron, she still showed support for Graden's act of kindness. "First and foremost, I want to commend the woman who did this. She had good intentions, and I applaud her for that," she said.
As of now, the GoFundMe page created for Hebron is still active. This incident serves as a reminder that we should always be cautious and aware of people's pasts, no matter how heartwarming their story may seem. The original post about the homeless man featured in the viral TikTok video was first published on Black Enterprise.
