SANTA ANA, Calif. – A 33-year-old Phoenix man has been convicted of murdering four men in a failed attempt to take over the drug business that left three of the men shot to death, their bodies set on fire inside of a burning car left abandoned in a residential neighborhood in Orange in the middle of the day in 2015. The body of a fourth man was found inside of a car in Fontana six days after he was shot to death; his killers recorded his dying moments on a cell phone, according to the OCDA .

The North Carolina Tar Heels continue to prep for the 2024 season as spring practices have officially wrapped up. With the end of practices, the transfer portal is still very active as the Tar Heels were able to land a pair of recruits including bringing back a former quarterback.
But they have also seen the departure of a few players. And on Monday a former player has found a new home.
Offensive tackle DJ Geth posted on Instagram that he has committed to Liberty, finding his next program out of the portal. He posted this message to his personal account, making it official:

The offensive tackle is a former three-star recruit out of Roebuck, South Carolina who committed as part of the 2023 recruiting class. He lasted just one year but did not appear in any games.
From there, he decided it was better to hit the transfer portal as the depth on the line, especially tackle, might have been too much for him to see playing time.

The Aurora City Council forged ahead Monday on a new “tough love” approach to homelessness that sentences urban campers to addiction and mental health treatment. The council decided at its study session to advance to a regular meeting an ordinance creating a new court for homeless campers. Ordinance sponsor Steve Sundberg said the court is not meant to be punitive. Offenders who successfully complete a year’s probation and their treatment plan would have the violation removed from their record, he said.

NASCAR is fresh off an exciting weekend of racing at Kansas Speedway, where the sport saw Kyle Larson beat Chris Buescher by 0.001 seconds in the closest Cup Series finish ever. Now, the racing series is set for Darlington Raceway. All three NASCAR levels will participate on track, so let’s take a closer look at the entry lists released for Darlington.
In the Cup Series, there are significant changes after a 38-car field at Kansas. There will be no open entries after Jimmie Johnson and Austin Hill competed in last weekend’s event. Meanwhile, Kaz Grala (No. 15 for Rick Ware Racing)...

Cleveland, OH. An Ohio man who killed his sister, her husband, and unborn niece was sentenced today in the Courtroom of Cuyahoga County Judge Rick Bell. Jason David Iverson was found guilty of three counts of aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault. As family members on both sides of the aisle awaited sentencing, the question was "why." What happened on September 4, 2023, caused so much turmoil that it cost the lives of three innocent people.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Many people have lost faith in the news and question truth from all comers. The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.

Even when the North Carolina Tar Heels aren’t playing baseball, they’re still winning.
I know, I know. It sounds cheesy, but it’s the truth.
UNC had a rare break in its schedule over the weekend, as student-athletes hit the books for final exams. North Carolina has been playing exceptional baseball this season, leading the ACC Coastal Division by three games over archrival Duke, with some brief time off well-deserved.
The Tar Heels make their highly-anticipated return to the field on Tuesday, May 7, hosting Campbell in a rematch, to kick off their final regular-season homestand at Boshamer Stadium.
With UNC dormant over the weekend and just a couple weeks out from ACC Tournament action, it jumped one spot to 12th in the latest USA Today Coaches Poll.

After welcoming the Camels to Chapel Hill tomorrow, North Carolina (35-11, 17-7) hosts Louisville this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Cardinals (29-18, 13-11), winners of four straight, clinched their spot in the ACC Tournament on Sunday.

Penn State has been hit hard at the wide receiver position since the end of the 2023 season, and the hits seem to just keep on coming. Carmelo Taylor, a former four-star recruit in Penn State’s Class of 2023, has reportedly been removed from the team’s roster.
According to On3, Taylor was removed from the Penn State football roster found online, although his name has yet to appear in the NCAA transfer portal as of Friday. As of now, the reason Taylor was removed from the roster is unconfirmed, although it will be worth watching the transfer portal updates moving forward.
