    Man Taken into Custody for Allegedly Shooting at Driver Who Denied Last-Minute Merge, Police Say

    A 53-year-old Missouri man, Roy L. Anderson Jr., was arrested for allegedly shooting into a car’s passenger door after the driver refused to let him cut in bumper-to-bumper traffic, per Law&Crime. He faces multiple felony charges, including first-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon.

    According to court documents, Kansas City police responded to a road rage incident last week where Anderson was found waiting for them, holding a 9 mm handgun. He initially claimed he heard a gunshot and fired into the air, but later contradicted himself, suggesting the other driver had a gun as well.

    The victim reported that while merging due to construction, he was hit by a soda can thrown by Anderson, who then fired a shot in his direction. Police found a bullet hole in the victim’s car and a spent casing in Anderson’s vehicle.

    Anderson was booked and released on a $7,500 bond with a court order to avoid contact with the victim and firearms. He is scheduled to appear in court again on June 11.

    A shooting at a Las Vegas gym on Friday afternoon resulted in two deaths, including the shooter, and injured at least three others. The incident occurred at the Las Vegas Athletic Club, with the suspect later dying in the hospital, reports the New York Post. 

    Officials were heavily present along North Rainbow Boulevard; however, there was no ongoing threat to the public. Three injured people were taken to local hospitals, with one in critical condition. Police are still looking into the motive behind the shooting. 

    A witness, Claudio Vigani, told KLAS-TV, “They said ‘Get out, get out, get out… Then I saw the dead guy next to the machine.”

    Gary Steward, on his way to the gym with a companion, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that stopping at a nutrition store saved them. If they hadn’t stopped, they would have been at the front desk when the shooter arrived. They saw glass breaking and fled back to the parking lot.

    Steward said, “It’s just a weird feeling right now… It’s strange. Who shoots up a gym?”

    Teen Has Been Convicted After Fatally Shooting 11-Year-Old Who Was Standing Outside Nail Salon

    A teenager from New York City was sentenced to 10 years to life behind bars on Wednesday. He pleaded guilty to shooting an 11-year-old girl in the stomach during a gang-related Bronx shootout, according to PEOPLE. 

    Matthew Godwin, now 18, was sentenced for second-degree murder for the death of 11-year-old Kyhara Tay. According to Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, a police investigation revealed that on May 16, 2022, Godwin and 21-year-old Omar Bojang were riding an electric scooter while searching for a rival gang member.

    Bojang drove the scooter onto the sidewalk and saw their 13-year-old target. Godwin fired two shots from the scooter, hitting Tay, who was waiting outside a nail salon for some friends. Sadly, she passed away later that night in the hospital. Bojang pleaded guilty to manslaughter and faces 15 years in prison.

    “Kyhara never had the chance to grow up. She was an innocent 11-year-old girl who was killed when the defendant, 15 years old at the time, started shooting at a 13-year-old boy… Her death is a profound tragedy, especially considering the ages of everyone involved,” said the Bronx District Attorney. 

    Over two years after Tay’s death, her mother said the family’s pain from her absence has caused anger, sleepless nights, and depression, per amNewYork.

    The young victim’s mother said in court, “You denied her the opportunity to graduate, to fall in love, to live life – they took away all her dreams.”

  • Atlanta Police Investigating Shooting that Left 2-Year-Old Dead

    Atlanta Police Investigating Shooting that Left 2-Year-Old Dead

    A family is mourning after a 2-year-old was reportedly shot in the head in the early morning hours of Sunday, April 13.

    The incident occurred on Bell Street in southeast Atlanta, according to WSBTV.

    Police have not identified the child nor a suspect and have not commented on what led up to the shooting.

    The sad story is still developing.

    Homicides in Atlanta have dropped for the second year in a row, according to the AJC, but the levels are still higher than they were before the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic.

    “Crime is down in Atlanta, particularly, homicides are down once again this year,” Mayor Andre Dickens proclaimed earlier this year.

    “The number one reduced area of crime in our city last year was vehicle theft, 29% down over the previous year. If you look at robberies, robberies were down 15%. Persons shot in our city is down 7%,” Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said.

    Ironically, the area where crime has reportedly dropped the most is Southeast Atlanta where this infant was killed.

    This is the second shooting of a 2-year-old in the Atlanta area in a month. A 2-year-old child was hospitalized after being accidentally shot by their twin sibling on Wednesday, March 12, according to People.For more information on safe firearm storage and the most effective ways to protect children from unsecured firearms, visit BeSMARTforkids.org.

    You do not have to give your name or any identifying information to be eligible for the reward of up to $5,000.

    The City of Forest Park is located in northern Clayton County nine miles south of the City of Atlanta.

    Another 19-year-old was recently killed in Metro Atlanta earlier this month. 19-year-old Faith Lewis was reportedly four months pregnant and had been in a relationship with 24-year-old Tyler Staton who was also found in the residence with a gunshot wound. He later died due to his injuries. 

    Reports are speculating that the shooting was possibly a murder-suicide, but authorities have not confirmed that. 

  • Man Found Guilty of Shooting His Son’s Football Coach Following Dispute Over Playing Time

    Man Found Guilty of Shooting His Son’s Football Coach Following Dispute Over Playing Time

    A Missouri man is facing charges for allegedly shooting a youth football coach after becoming angry about his son’s playing time, according to authorities reported by PEOPLE. 

    Daryl B. Clemmons, 45, was convicted of assault and armed criminal action concerning the shooting that occurred in 2023, as stated in a press release from the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office on Friday, Feb. 28. Prosecutors revealed that Clemmons shot 34-year-old Shaquille Latimore, a volunteer coach for the City Rec Legends Football League. 

    The incident occurred after a heated verbal exchange regarding the playing time Clemmons’s son received during a practice game in the Kingsway West neighborhood on October 10, 2023. According to the prosecution, both men were armed during the altercation, but Latimore handed his gun to a friend, suggesting they should “fight with fists.” It was at that moment that Clemmons shot Latimore five times before fleeing the scene. Clemmons later surrendered to the police on the same day.

    According to the release, a group of children were playing in the vicinity when the shooting took place. During the trial, Latimore, who survived the incident, testified that Clemmons kept firing at him even after he had fallen to the ground, as reported by KTVI. In his defense, Clemmons claimed in court that he shot Latimore in self-defense after Latimore challenged him to fight, according to the outlet.

    “Violence, especially in youth sports, is completely unacceptable and undermines the purpose of these programs — teaching teamwork, discipline, and respect,” Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore said in the release. “This could easily have been a lethal encounter for the coach as well as for the children and family members present. Unfortunately, the trauma of this event will not be easily forgotten by all those who witnessed it.”

  • Jewish Man Shoots At ‘Two Palestinians’ Driving In Miami Only To Discover They’re Israeli Tourists, Police Say

    Jewish Man Shoots At ‘Two Palestinians’ Driving In Miami Only To Discover They’re Israeli Tourists, Police Say

    A Jewish man opened fire on a car in Miami Beach with two passengers inside, mistakenly believing they were

    “Palestinians,”

    as reported by the NY Post. The victims turned out to be a father and son visiting from Israel, according to police.

    Mordechai Brafman, a 27-year-old plumber, allegedly shot 17 rounds at the Hyundai around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, injuring the two Israeli Jews inside before fleeing the scene. He was later apprehended by police in the vicinity, as stated by WSVN-TV News and Ynet News.

    Brafman is currently in custody facing attempted murder charges and is being held without bond at the Miami-Dade County Jail, according to official records. The suspect reportedly confessed to police that he had killed the pair, although authorities confirmed that both individuals were still alive.

    “It should be noted that while in custody in our interview room, the defendant spontaneously stated that while he was driving his truck he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both,”

    police told the TV outlet. One of the victims sustained a gunshot wound to his left shoulder, while the other suffered a graze wound to his arm, Ynet reported.

    “The victims and the defendant do not know each other,”

    cops added in their statement.

    Police reported that Brafman was traveling on Alton Road just north of 48th Street when he spotted the two victims. He then made a U-turn, approached their car, and opened fire.

    “It was a truck passing next to [us],”

    the younger victim, identified by WPLG-TV as Ari Revay, told the station in Hebrew.

    “Boom, boom, boom, and he randomly started shooting. He put the window down, the driver’s seat, and just blasted,”

    Revay said.
