On Saturday night in Hermitage, a 16-year-old was shot multiple times and killed.

Police have charged 18-year-old Raphael Jobehdari. He has been taken into custody and charged with the murder of Zeppelin Phillips, the 16-year-old who died.

The shooting happened near Phillips' Hallborough Way home, police say. They found Phillips lying in the roadway injured at 6:30 p.m., and immediately rushed him to Vanderbilt where he died.

SWAT officers executed a search warrant at Jobehdari's house. They believe the motive involved an anticipated gun sale, as they recovered three guns while searching Jobehdari's home.

Police say this is the second fatal shooting Jobehdari has been involved in. On January 31, he and Gavin Dauzart, 18, shot at each other during a drug robbery in Bellevue. Dauzart died, and Jobehdari was shot in the abdomen and leg. He claimed he was shooting in self-defense, and no charges were placed.

Career shoplifter gets 30 years after using soft-sided cooler to steal $20k worth of designer sunglasses

A Florida woman described as a career shoplifter was handed a 30-year prison sentence after she was found guilty of stealing $20,000 worth of designer sunglasses. According to FOX 13 News , the convicted woman, identified as Ernesha Atmore, has had initial stints in prison after being implicated in stealing designer goods amounting to thousands of dollars.

Atmore’s conviction also came after Florida lawmakers passed harsher retail theft laws. “She committed one of the most brazen thefts I’ve heard of. She went into a Sunglass Hut at International Plaza and had a soft-sided cooler, and she just scooped up about $20,000 in designer sunglasses. When the employee said, ‘What are you doing,’ she said, ‘I have a taser.’ And, as you know, a taser is a weapon,” Hillsborough State Attorney Suzy Lopez said.

Police arrested Atmore days after she committed the crime. Authorities also found several stolen items in her vehicle. Atmore is said to have turned down a plea deal that would have resulted in her spending three years in prison. As a result, she was handed a 30-year prison sentence after a jury convicted her.

“That’s because the state of Florida has taken a stance on retail theft,” Lopez said. Retail theft was initially classified as a misdemeanor in Florida, but it has since been upgraded to a felony charge – meaning people convicted would serve longer sentences.

And besides stealing the sunglasses , Atmore was accused of two other retail thefts. One of the cases involved her attempting to steal an $8,000 ring from a store, per FOX 13 News . She received an additional 3-month sentence to her conviction.

Married Fourth Grade Teacher Pregnant With 12-Year-Old Student’s Baby Is Charged For Allegedly Grooming 21 Children

The accused has been identified as 38-year-old former elementary school teacher Alissa McCommon , who was initially arrested on September 8, 2023, and charged with r**e of a child. At the time, the teacher was accused of grooming and sexually assaulting a 12-year-old male student, and now she is facing a 23-count indictment for sexual misconduct against nearly two dozen other potential minor victims, according to police.

During a March 8 statement, Covington Police Chief Donna Turner said, “Our goal in any of these investigations is to identify any potential victims and provide medical assistance, counseling, and support for their families throughout the investigation. Without this vital intervention, the ripple effect of trauma can last for years with the victims and the family unit..”

Turner also revealed that on March 5, a Tipton County grand jury handed down a 23-count indictment against McCommon “with multiple sexual misconduct offenses against minors. In addition with to Covington Police Department Criminal Investigations Division, the Tipton County Sheriff’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office worked together to identify 21 “potential victims” during their criminal investigation.

Police reported, “Detectives worked closely with the 25th Judicial District Attorney’s Office prosecutors to present evidence in the investigation involving five (5) victims of offenses with substantiating evidence resulting in twenty-three (23) separate counts. The victims’ ages ranged from 12 to 17 years of age.”

Of the new charges filed against the married former fourth-grade teacher, she now faces r**e of a child, five counts of aggravated statutory r**e, four counts of sexual exploitation by electronic means, four counts of solicitation of a minor to commit aggravated statutory r**e, two counts of statutory r**e by an authority figure, two counts of coercion of a witness, two counts of aggravated stalking, violation of the Child Protective Act, tampering with evidence, and harassment.

During a recent court appearance on Monday (March 11), McCommon pleaded not guilty. Meanwhile, Lauren Fuchs, the married and pregnant teacher’s defense attorney and partner at the Law Office of Massey McClusky Fuchs & Ballenger, told Fox News Digital, “We anticipated that the indictment would be coming.” Now, the married former fourth-grade teacher’s legal team will be going through the documents to learn more about the evidence included in the case against her.
