    Husband Dies In Pregnant Wife’s Arms After Being Shot While Confronting Car Vandals

    A 37-year-old man was shot and killed after he confronted some people he thought were acting suspiciously on his street in Houston, reports The Independent. He leaves behind his wife, who is eight months pregnant, and two children. 

    The incident occurred on August 10 at around 12:30 AM. The man, named Osvaldo Casas, had noticed a black car in the neighborhood the night before and reported that one of their cars had been damaged. That night, a neighbor also called the police about the same black car driving slowly in the area.

    When Casas approached the suspicious vehicle, shots were fired, and he was hit several times and fell to the ground. His wife, Judith Molina, who is also expecting a baby boy next month, ran to him and tried to give him CPR.

    “I did it for maybe like 10 minutes until the police arrived, and they took over, but by that time I already knew he was gone. I knew he was gone,”

    Molina told the outlet.

    “She tried to give him CPR, and he died in her hands,”

    Casas’s mother, Blanca Aguirre, told KHOU11.

    A GoFundMe page created by Judith Molina stated that Osvaldo Casas has passed away,

    “bravely protecting our family.”

    He is survived by two children, a 16-year-old and an 8-year-old, as well as the baby they are expecting. As of now, no arrests have been made.

    Mother Fled From Deputies and Left 5 Children, Including 2 Infants, In An SUV That She Crashed Into A Ditch During The Chase, Police Say

    Jennifer Delgado, a 32-year-old woman from Texas, is in trouble with the law after police discovered five children, including two babies, left alone in her car. The car was found in a small ditch following a police chase, reports Law & Crime.

    The police chase occurred on August 11 at about 8:45 p.m. when deputies from McLennan County went to check out a report of a domestic disturbance on Martin Drive, as reported by Fox affiliate KWKT.

    A couple was heard arguing loudly, sources say. Witnesses told the police one person involved in the fight crashed their car in front of a house and then drove away.

    According to Texas CBS affiliate KWTX, deputies soon saw the car, which they believed was being driven by Delgado, speeding down Bob Johnson Road in China Spring. 

    An officer turned on the lights and sirens to pull her over, but she didn’t stop. Instead, she sped away down China Spring Road.

    Police had to stop chasing her because they saw several kids in the car through the windows. Shortly after, a deputy found Delgado’s maroon Ford SUV in a small ditch off East Cougar Lane, but she was not inside the vehicle.

    When deputies got closer to the SUV and looked inside, they found three children and two infants. Emergency medical responders checked on all the children. According to an affidavit obtained by the outlet,

    “Three of the children stated their mommy was driving fast.”

    The police got a call about Delgado after the accident, which helped them locate her. A witness reported seeing the 32-year-old woman in her backyard panicking and saying she needed to go back to her SUV. Delgado was arrested and taken to the McLennan County Jail. She faces charges of endangering a child, evading arrest or detention, and fleeing from a police officer.

    A man was rescued from the bottom of a narrow pipe in Portland, Oregon, as reported by the NY Post. He was stuck there for hours and had no idea how he got there. People in a nearby building heard him screaming for help and called the fire department.

    The responders arrived and found the man yelling from the bottom foot of a 40-foot-deep ventilation pipe in a parking garage. The pipe was very narrow, only about a foot wide. Thankfully, the crews were able to quickly free the man from the pipe. 

    The man told responders that he woke up in the hole and had no memory of how he ended up there. The man only had minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

  • 12-Year-Old Girl Reportedly Suffocated 8-Year-Old Cousin In Dispute Over iPhone, Police Say

    12-Year-Old Girl Reportedly Suffocated 8-Year-Old Cousin In Dispute Over iPhone, Police Say

    In Tennessee, a 12-year-old girl has been charged with murder after allegedly suffocating her 8-year-old cousin while she was sleeping, reports the WREG News. The tragic incident occurred during an argument over an iPhone, and it was captured on a security camera in their shared bedroom. 

    The victim’s mother, Rayana Smith, has identified her daughter as Demeria Hollingsworth. According to a statement from Gibson District Attorney Frederick Agee, the recording reveals that the older child used bedding to suffocate her cousin while she was sleeping in the top bunk. After the child died,

    “the juvenile cleaned up the victim and repositioned her body,”

    Agee said.

    A relative told WREG-TV in Memphis, that the girls had a disagreement over an iPhone after traveling from out of town to stay with their grandmother. Following the discovery of a video by authorities on Wednesday, the girl was charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence.

    “I consider this to be one of the most disturbing violent acts committed by either an adult or juvenile that my office has prosecuted,”

    Agee wrote in the statement.

    He said that he plans to petition a judge to prosecute the girl, who will be turning 13 later this month, in adult court, which would allow for

    “a lengthier sentence, whether that will be through incarceration or supervision with court-ordered conditions.”

  • Sex Offender Who Escaped Oregon Prison 30 Years Ago Was Found In Georgia With A Stolen Identity

    Sex Offender Who Escaped Oregon Prison 30 Years Ago Was Found In Georgia With A Stolen Identity

    A man who escaped from an Oregon state prison almost 30 years ago and assumed the identity of a deceased child has been apprehended in Georgia, per CNN

    Steven Craig Johnson, now 70, was convicted of sexual abuse charges and had been in Oregon Department of Corrections custody since June 1989. He escaped from prison in 1994 and has been living under a different name since 2011. 

    He was arrested by the US Marshals Service on Tuesday and is now awaiting extradition back to Oregon. This case was reopened in 2015 and new leads were developed using advanced investigative technology. Johnson had reportedly stolen the identity of a child who died in Texas in January 1962. He was able to obtain a copy of the child’s birth certificate and was eventually able to get a Social Security number in Texas in 1995. 

    Johnson was considered one of Oregon’s most wanted fugitives. He

    “is a pedophile and presents a high probability of victimizing pre-teen boys,”

    a 2019 wanted poster from the corrections department stated.

    “Fugitive Johnson should not be allowed contact with children.”

    According to Johnson’s neighbors, he was a quiet man and kept to himself.

  • Largest Housing Provider For Unaccompanied Migrant Children Sued For Allegedly Raping and Sexually Abusing Kids In Their Care

    Largest Housing Provider For Unaccompanied Migrant Children Sued For Allegedly Raping and Sexually Abusing Kids In Their Care

    Department of Justice has accused the largest housing provider for unaccompanied migrant children of engaging in

    “severe, pervasive”

    sexual abuse and harassment of the children under its care, per the NY Post

    According to a lawsuit filed by the DOJ, Southwest Key employees, including supervisors, have allegedly committed acts of

    “rape, sexual touching, and solicitation of sex and nude images from the children”

    since 2015. The lawsuit also mentions that at least two employees have been charged since 2020.

    One disturbing allegation involves the repeated abuse of a 5-year-old child at a Southwest Key shelter in El Paso. In another instance, a youth care worker at a Tucson shelter allegedly took an 11-year-old boy to a hotel and paid him to perform sexual acts. The lawsuit further states that the children were threatened with violence against themselves or their families if they reported the abuse. 

    Additionally, testimony from the victims suggests that some staff members were aware of the ongoing abuse but either failed to report it or actively concealed it.

    On its website, Southwest Key said it has been a significant partner in the U.S. response to address the immigration crisis at our southern border for over 20 years,

    “sheltering immigrant children under 18 years of age who arrive in this country without a parent or guardian. SWK works to reunify them with a parent, relative, or sponsor.”

    According to the lawsuit filed by the DOJ, Southwest Key is responsible for the care of children between the ages of 5 and 18. Southwest Key operates a total of 29 shelters for child migrants, with 17 located in Texas, 10 in Arizona, and two in California. The organization states that most of the children in their care are aged 13 to 17 from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

    “During the brief amount of time they are with us, we seek to provide refuge and care to assist in their future success,”

    the company said.

    A 14-year-old Utah girl and her two young cousins that went missing in Mexico for almost two weeks, have been found safe. Authorities have charged a man in connection to their disappearance, per USA Today

    Elizabeth ‘Ely’ Gonzalez was visiting her grandmother in Mexico City before she disappeared on June 30, along with her 6-year-old and 4-year-old cousins.

    The girls were found with their uncle. Antonio Mereno, 31, has been accused of kidnapping.

    Alma Soreque, the mother of Gonzalez, told ABC4 that she had spoken to her daughter on the morning she went missing. Later, family members informed Soreque that Gonzalez had walked to a nearby convenience store but did not come back. The FBI believe Gonzalez was manipulated by an adult to enter a taxi. 

    It is suspected that the three missing girls and Antonio Mereno, who is also the father of her cousins, were traveling together. Family members revealed that Mereno

    “abruptly”

    traveled to Mexico City on the day the girls went missing. Three girls were recovered in Veracruz, Mexico, at around 9:30 pm local time, along with Mereno.

    Antonio Mereno will be extradited to the United States to face charges.

  • Mother Arrested After Her and Her Two Daughters Attacked Sam’s Club Employee Over Pizza, Reports Say

    Mother Arrested After Her and Her Two Daughters Attacked Sam’s Club Employee Over Pizza, Reports Say

    Employees at a Sam’s Club are requesting that a security guard be present in the store at all times after some customers attacked an employee over pizza, WSBTV reported. 

    Cierra Monroe, who works in the cafe at the Sam’s Club on Jonesboro Road, shared that on July 10, a mother and her two daughters arrived just two minutes before closing time and wanted to order two whole pizzas. When the workers explained that it was too late, the customers insisted on speaking to a manager. 

    When the manager did not arrive fast enough, Monroe said that the mother, Andreana McKnight, came around to the kitchen and punched her in the face. McKnight was arrested. Her 20-year-old pregnant daughter, Victoria Wilson, was taken to the hospital, and there is currently a warrant for her arrest. 

    “The mom, she gets upset and she goes from in front of the register, and she comes back into the kitchen, and when she comes into the kitchen, she swings on me,”

    Monroe said.

    “Once she swings on me, she punches me in my face and then her two daughters come from the front. I was not expecting that at all.”

    Monroe shared that she is still experiencing headaches and has visible injuries such as bruises, scratches, and a scar on her face. She said she didn’t understand why Sam’s Club didn’t have a security guard present that day. Especially because a few days prior, another customer had attempted to attack a different employee, she explained. 

    A spokesperson for Sam’s Club wouldn’t say their plans on hiring a full-time security, but he did say

    “their staff safety is a priority”

    and they’re working with Henry County police during the investigation.

    17-Year-Old Becomes The Youngest Black Person To Earn Private Pilot’s License In North Carolina

    A North Carolina teenager is making history in the field of aviation. At only 17 years old, Ryan Garner has become the youngest Black person in North Carolina to obtain a private pilot license, per WRAL News

    “I have always loved it since I was a kid,”

    Garner told WCNC Charlotte’s Myles Harris about aviation.

    “It’s a little adrenaline rush coming into the plane,”

    Garner added. Ryan is currently a senior at West Cabarrus High School, which offers an aviation and aerospace engineering program. He accomplished this milestone at Goose Creek Airport. 

    Ryan’s mother, Melissa Dixon, says she is proud of her son’s historic achievement.

    “He’s the footprint … he is actually the footprint to future generations to come and say it’s possible,”

    Dixon said. Initially, Ryan’s ambition was to work as a ground crew member responsible for guiding planes. However, his perspective changed after a conversation with a Delta pilot, inspiring him to pursue flight school.

    “I want to take it to the majors and go to the airlines,”

    Garner told the outlet. 

    Last week, the city of Concord acknowledged Ryan’s accomplishments and honored him with an official proclamation.
