Oxford, MS

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — A man has been indicted on a capital murder charge in the death of a University of Mississippi student who went missing last summer and whose body has not been found, police said Wednesday. The Oxford Police Department said in a statement that officers presented evidence this week and a grand jury indicted Sheldon Timothy Herrington Jr., 22, of Grenada, Mississippi. The Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department served the indictment on Herrington on Wednesday, police said. Jimmie “Jay” Lee, 20, was last seen in early July at an apartment complex in Oxford. Lee was well known in the LGBTQ community in Oxford, and his disappearance sparked fear among students and residents. Herrington’s attorney, Kevin Horan, said Wednesday that a court appearance was not immediately scheduled for Herrington, who has maintained his innocence.

Akwesasne, NY

MONTREAL (AP) — Authorities in the Mohawk Territory of Akwesasne said Friday one child is missing after the bodies of six migrants of Indian and Romanian descent were pulled from a river that straddles the Canada-U.S. border.  The victims were trying to enter the United States illegally from Canada, said Lee-Ann O’Brien, deputy chief of the Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service. Their bodies, including that of a child under 3, were found Thursday in the St. Lawrence River near Akwesasne, Quebec.  O’Brien says police found a Canadian passport belonging to a missing infant with the Romanian family, adding that the deceased child was also a Canadian citizen. Weather conditions in the area were rough Wednesday night, she said.

Utah State

Las Vegas, NV

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A longtime Las Vegas attorney was indicted Wednesday on federal charges that he orchestrated a $460 million Ponzi scheme spanning multiple states, from Nevada and Utah to California and Arizona. The eight-count indictment accusing Matthew Wade Beasley of wire fraud and money laundering comes almost one year to the day after the personal injury attorney was shot and wounded by FBI agents at his $1.1 million home in Las Vegas, leading to a four-hour standoff that ended with his arrest. He was charged with assault on a federal officer. Beasley has been in federal custody since the standoff — during which prosecutors have said the lawyer, then 49, “repeatedly confessed” to his involvement in the investment scheme while on the phone with a negotiator. Beasley remained in the house until FBI SWAT agents entered. Jacqueline Tirinnanzi, Beasley’s attorney, declined to comment. Beasley has not yet entered a plea in the case.

CLAIM: More than 90% of all mass shootings have happened in so-called “gun-free zones.”. AP’S ASSESSMENT: Missing context. The oft-cited figure comes from a study by a gun rights advocacy group that gun violence experts say is flawed. They say the study draws from federal data on “active shooter” incidents, which is not the same as a mass shooting. It also excludes gang-related incidents, yet includes military bases and other locations that aren’t arguably “gun free.” There is no definitive data on how many “mass shootings” occur in “gun-free” zones, because there is no consensus on how to define either term, experts said.
