NEW YORK — A University of Pennsylvania graduate is in custody following the targeted attack of Brian Thompson, the CEO of major insurance group UnitedHealthcare who was fatally shot outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel ahead of an investor conference, police said Monday.

Luigi Mangione is a suspect in the fatal shooting, authorities confirmed Monday night during a press briefing in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where he was apprehended after an individual at a McDonald’s recognized him from the wildly circulated images of the suspect sought in the shooting.

Mangione has been charged with five crimes, including carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to authorities and possessing “instruments of crime,” according to a newly released criminal complaint.

Mangione, 26, was initially identified as a “strong” person of interest in the shooting death after he was apprehended at the McDonald’s, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said during a press briefing in New York on Monday.

Charges could be filed against Mangione in the homicide as early as Monday or Tuesday, authorities said. Investigators are working to determine whether anyone else was involved in Thompson’s death.

Mangione was eating at the McDonald’s Monday morning when an individual thought he looked suspiciously like the shooting suspect and alerted an employee, who called police, authorities said.

He was carrying a firearm and suppressor “both consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during the press briefing earlier Monday. The gun “may have been made on a 3D printer,” police said.

He also had “multiple fraudulent IDs,” including a fake New Jersey ID matching the ID the suspect used to check into his New York City hostel before the shooting incident, Tisch said. He was carrying a U.S. passport that identified him as Luigi Mangione, police said.

Police also recovered clothing, including a mask consistent with those worn by the wanted individual, as well as a three-page “handwritten document that speaks to both his motivation and mindset,” she said.

PASADENA, Calif. (KABC) — The rivalry between UCLA and USC can get pretty heated. Sometimes it even leads to violence between fans.

Video from the crosstown rivals’ game last month at the Rose Bowl shows a woman in a UCLA hat violently smacking a USC fan.

The man told Pasadena police she hit him because he was wearing University of Southern California gear.
He also told them he wanted to press charges. The video is part of the police investigation.

They say they have made contact with the suspect, but so far no word on an arrest.

06/12/2024

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A court in Vietnam on Tuesday upheld the death sentence for real estate tycoon Truong My Lan but said it could be commuted to life if she reimburses some $11 billion, or three-fourths of what she defrauded in the country’s biggest financial crime.

The scale of her fraud shocked the nation, with analysts raising questions about whether other banks or businesses had similarly erred. It has also dampened Vietnam’s economic outlook and made foreign investors jittery at a time when Vietnam has been trying to position itself as a home for businesses pivoting their supply chains away from China.

Lan, 67, was convicted in April of embezzlement and bribery amounting to $12.5 billion, equivalent to 3% of the country’s GDP. As chairperson of the Van Thinh Phat real estate firm, the court said she illegally controlled Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank between 2012 and 2022 and allowed 2,500 loans that cost the bank $27 billion in losses.

A higher court in Ho Chi Minh on Tuesday rejected her appeal of the conviction but said that her death sentence could be commuted to life if she reimburses three-fourth of the losses, working out to around $11 billion, state media reported.

Her lawyers argued that she had repaid the money but the court disagreed since there were legal issues with some of the seized properties and prosecuting agencies couldn’t assess their value, VN Express reported.

Lan’s lawyers also noted several mitigating circumstances — she had admitted guilt, showed remorse and had paid back part of the amount.

But the court said her violations had negatively impacted banking, caused public disorder and eroded people’s trust, VN Express said.

Under Vietnamese law, death sentences aren’t immediately carried out and there is an extended legal process, said Nguyen Khac Giang, a visiting fellow in the Vietnam Studies Program at Singapore’s ISEAS–Yusof Ishak Institute. He added that Lan would seek another review of the case or a presidential pardon to reduce her sentence.

“Moreover, if she repays at least three-quarters of the misappropriated funds, the court may consider commuting her sentence to life imprisonment,” he said.

An Indian American photographer is speaking out about a video he captured of a woman verbally attacking his family with racist slurs on a United Airlines shuttle bus. 

Fifty-year-old Pervez Taufiq was traveling with his wife and three children from Mexico to Los Angeles the week before Thanksgiving when the woman accosted him, saying his family was “not American” and calling them “tandoori” and “stinky.” 

Taufiq is a well-known wedding photographer who has been published in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, among others.

He told NBC News that the woman’s harassment began in the air, when she approached his 11-year-old son, who was sitting separately from the family, and questioned him about his race, asking if he was Indian and where he was from.

When the passengers deboarded and loaded onto a shuttle bus to the main airport, the woman’s harassment continued, he said. Taufiq said the woman, seemingly unprompted, began screaming at his children to “shut up” as they played and talked among themselves. 

“Obviously, I lost it at that point. I said, ‘Don’t ever tell my kid to shut up,’” he said. “She started with the racial stuff right then, and at that point we were like, ‘Uh oh, something’s gonna happen.” 

The verbal abuse against the kids turned into a racist rant directed at Taufiq, he said, who began filming in the middle of her tirade. She’s seen in the video putting up her middle fingers at the family and mocking their background. 

“Your family is from India, you have no respect, you have no rules,” she said in the video. She then reached for her phone and said she was going to record while calling him “tandoori” in a derogatory way.

Taufiq, who was born in the U.S., asserted to her that he is American. “You’re not American,” she said. “You’re from f—— India.” 

He posted the video to Instagram last week and thousands of his followers rallied to support him. South Asian influencers came to his defense in the comments, and even bigger names like journalist Katie Couric commented on the post or circulated the clip on X, formerly Twitter.

03/12/2024

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The president of South Korea early Wednesday lifted the martial law he imposed on the country hours earlier, bending to political pressure after a tense nightin which troops surrounded parliament and lawmakers voted to reject military rule.

President Yoon Suk Yeol, who appeared likely to be impeached over his actions, imposed martial law late Tuesday out of frustration with the opposition, vowing to eliminate “anti-state” forces as he struggles against opponents who control parliament and that he accuses of sympathizing with communist North Korea.

Police and military personnel were seen leaving the grounds of parliament following the bipartisan vote to overrule the president, and the declaration was formally lifted around 4:30 a.m. during a Cabinet meeting.

Parliament acted swiftly after martial law was imposed, with National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik declaring that the law was “invalid” and that lawmakers would “protect democracy with the people.”

In all, martial law was in effect for about six hours.

The president’s surprising move harkened back to an era of authoritarian leaders that the country has not seen since the 1980s, and it was immediately denounced by the opposition and the leader of Yoon’s own conservative party.

Lee Jae-myung, leader of the liberal Democratic Party, which holds the majority in the 300-seat parliament, said the party’s lawmakers would remain in the Assembly’s main hall until Yoon formally lifted his order.

Woo applauded how troops quickly left the Assembly after the vote.

While announcing his plan to lift martial law, Yoon continued to criticize parliament’s attempts to impeach key government officials and senior prosecutors. He said lawmakers had engaged in “unscrupulous acts of legislative and budgetary manipulation that are paralyzing the functions of the state.”

Under South Korea’s constitution, the president can declare martial law during “wartime, war-like situations or other comparable national emergency states” that require the use of military force to maintain peace and order. It was questionable whether South Korea is currently in such a state.

03/12/2024

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Hannah Kobayashi, the Hawaii woman who had been believed to be missing in Los Angeles, crossed the border into Mexico on her own accord four days after landing at LAX and is not the victim of any crime, the LAPD said Monday.

“To date the investigation has not uncovered any evidence that Kobayashi is being trafficked or is the victim of any foul play,” LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said.

Detectives reviewed her social media accounts and found a desire expressed to “step away from modern connectivity,” he added.

The investigation discovered that while Kobayashi initially checked her bag through to New York, she later instructed it be sent to her at LAX, where she retrieved it on Nov. 11.

She later used her passport and cash to buy a bus ticket at Union Station to travel to the San Ysidro border crossing, where she entered Mexico via tunnel on foot at 12:13 p.m. on Nov. 12.

LAPD has not pursued the investigation further into Mexico because it appears she is not the victim of any crime. If she returns to the United States, law enforcement will be notified.

“We’ve basically done everything we can do at this point,” McDonnell said. “She’s left the country and in another nation now.”

It is believed she does not have her phone with her. McDonnell urged her to contact her family or the nearest U.S. embassy to provide assurances she is safe.

“She has a right to privacy and we respect her choices,” McDonnell said. “But we also understand the concern her loved ones have for her.”

Kobayashi flew from Maui to LAX on Nov. 8 and was supposed to catch a connecting flight to New York a short time later. But she missed the flight and, after a few cryptic text messages, lost contact with her family within a few days. Family members have traveled to Los Angeles to search from her.

Her father, Ryan Kobayashi, was found dead last weekend in a parking lot near LAX. The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be su***de.

25/11/2024

Ming Shi parents may find out the hard way that their daughter is a highlight-reel knockout artist fighting under the UFC banner.

At UFC Fight Night 248 , Shi (17-5 MMA, 1-0 UFC) became the first “Road to UFC” strawweight tournament winner by landing a brutal head kick in the third round against Xiaocan Feng.

It wasn’t your typical knockout; Feng was down for several minutes and was stretchered out of
the octagon.

For Shi, 30, the moment prompted mixed emotions. She had just won the biggest fight of her career as a sizable underdog to became a UFC fighter, but as a medical doctor, she had concerns about her opponent’s health.

That’s my biggest weakness, I have too much mercy,” Shi said during an interview on the “UFC Fight Night 248 Post Show.” “I’m not aggressive enough. It’s really difficult for me to hurt my opponent. Especially she trained so hard, she’s so young. It’s really sad to see she lie down there for more than 10 minutes. I hope she recovers soon.”

The “Road to UFC” final bout took place on the event’s prelims at Galaxy Arena in Macau. Updates on Feng’s condition were relayed to the broadcast audience during the main card as she was evaluated at a nearby hospital to help ease the concerns for the scary scene.

Although Shi, who was nicknamed “Dr. Sleep” by Michael Bisping during the broadcast, was worried about her opponent, she has plenty of reasons to celebrate. She earned a UFC contract by winning “Road to UFC” and was also awared a $50,000 Performance of the Night award for the highlight moment.

While things are looking up for Shi, there is one other area of concern as she moves forward. The cat may be out of the bag that she’s a fighter, which is something her parents did not know about. As far as they know, she simply competes in traditional martial arts competitions to break wooden boards.

“I don’t think I’m going to mention it to them,” Shi said. “For my parents, they are traditional Chinese parents and they worry about me. Only doctor or a lawyer, I don’t have other choice. So, I’m going to fight UFC, but maybe every time I will go back home after I recover.”

25/11/2024

Two people have been charged in connection with the death of Dartmouth College student Won Jang, 20, in July. Police said an investigation found probable cause to charge two Beta Alpha Omega members, who were identified as Matthew Catrambone and Samuel Terry, with providing alcohol to a person under 21.

The Alpha Phi sorority was also charged as a corporation for facilitating an underage alcohol party, which was organized by its members, according to the Hanover Police.

Jang was found dead off the shore of the Connecticut River on the school’s campus on July 7 after drinking at a fraternity party the night before, according to police.

At the time of his death, Jang had a blood alcohol level of 0.167, according to police.

Dartmouth College previously suspended a sorority and fraternity on campus in relation to Jang’s death.

The college said its Greek organizations have a responsibility to ensure the school remains a safe, respectful, equitable and inclusive community.

“Following the tragic loss of Won Jang during the summer, Dartmouth immediately suspended both Alpha Phi and Beta Alpha Omega, and an internal investigation was initiated. These suspensions remain in effect pending the results of Dartmouth’s internal investigation and conduct process, which is still ongoing,” Dartmouth said in a statement to ABC News on Friday.

Jang was from Middletown, a town in northern Deleware. Jang also volunteered in the local community through the National Honor Society and created a Korean club at Middletown High School at the request of his friends to teach them Korean. Before graduating, Jang aspired to become a research scientist in molecular and cellular biology, the Delaware Department of Education said.

22/11/2024

A Thai woman believed to be among the worst serial killers in the kingdom’s history was convicted and sentenced to death Wednesday for poisoning a friend with cyanide, in the first of her 14 murder trials.

Sararat, 36, an online gambling addict, is accused of swindling thousands of dollars from her victims before killing them with the chemical.

A court in Bangkok convicted her Wednesday for fatally poisoning her friend Siriporn Kanwong.

Siriporn collapsed and died shortly afterwards and investigators found traces of cyanide in her body.  Last year, police said hey collected fingerprints and other evidence from Sararat’s Toyota Forerunner.

Police were then able to link Sararat to previously unsolved cyanide poisonings going back as far as 2015, officers said.

“The court’s decision is just,” Siriporn’s mother, Tongpin Kiatchanasiri, told reporters following the verdict. “I want to tell my daughter that I miss her deeply, and justice has been done for her today.”

Police said Sararat funded her gambling addiction by borrowing money from her victims — in one case as much as 300,000 baht (nearly $9,000) — before killing them and stealing their jewelry and mobile phones.
She lured 15 people — one of whom survived — to take poisoned “herb capsules,” they said.

Sararat faces 13 more separate murder trials, and has been charged with around 80 offenses in total.

Her ex-husband, Vitoon Rangsiwuthaporn — a police lieutenant— was given 16 months in prison and her former lawyer two years for complicity in Siriporn’s killing, the lawyer for the victim’s family said.

The couple, while divorced, had still been living together, the BBC reported Police said Rangsiwuthaporn was likely involved in Sararat’s alleged murder of an ex-boyfriend, Suthisak Poonkwan, the BBC reported. Police said that after she killed him, Rangsiwuthaporn picked her up in her car and helped her extort money from Suthisak’s friends. Thailand has been the scene of several sordid and high-profile criminal cases.

Earlier this year, six foreigners were found dead in a luxury Bangkok hotel after a cyanide poisoning believed to be connected to debts worth millions of baht.

MANILA — A tragic and mysterious shooting in Lancaster, California claimed the lives of four people, including 2 Filipino siblings. 

On early Saturday morning, Filipino siblings Janvi Maquindang and Christine Asa-Ca were gunned down along with Asa-Ca’s fiancé Edwin Garcia. Three dogs were also shot dead. 

While the three were pronounced dead on the scene, Maquindang’s partner Matthew Montebello was also shot during the incident and died later in the hospital. 

After the police arrived at the house around 1 a.m. Saturday, firefighters were also dispatched to the home to extinguish a fire.

No arrests have been made and no motives or cause of the fire have been publicly released. 

Asa-Ac also served as a legal guardian to two younger siblings who were at the house during the tragedy.
The Maquindang family has started a GoFundMe page

to help with the expenses and to help care for the surviving siblings. 

They called the crime a “senseless act of gun violence.”

“The loss is overwhelming, and the pain of their absence is something we are struggling to bear every day,” the family said of the victims. 

They added that while the surviving siblings were unharmed in the incident, “the emotional and psychological toll on them is immeasurable.” 

“They need all the support we can offer as they cope with the loss of their sister and brother, and try to rebuild their lives in the wake of this tragedy,” the family said.

‼️⚠️WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS DETAILS OF CH!LD ABUSE, WHICH MAY BE DISTRESSING FOR SOME READERS/WATCHERS. PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION⚠️‼️

I’m writing this post as a deeply concerned mother who endured an unimaginable difficulty with a nanny we hired. We had hired a woman named Liu Guitian, a 1968-born Chinese national from Fushun, Liaoning, recommended by someone on a local Chinese forum. After nine days of her employment, we discovered severe abuse towards our newborn and immediately terminated her. I am sharing the full story here to alert other families.

We first heard about Liu through a person on the forum who claimed to be a mother of two and praised Liu as a trustworthy nanny. This person, who turned out to be Liu’s daughter posing as a satisfied client, claimed Liu was her neighbor’s mother and assured us of her experience and reliability. After speaking with this “neighbor,” we agreed to hire Liu for a three-month contract.

She began working on September 24, and within a few days, she started requesting unusual permissions. She insisted that we install a monitoring app on her phone to watch the baby from the kitchen. Her phone was incompatible with the app, so we provided her with an iPad that displayed live footage. Shortly after, she casually mentioned she “forgot” to log a night feeding and asked if we could review the camera footage. Our camera didn’t record or playback at the time, so we told her we couldn’t check. Her behavior started to raise suspicions.

On the morning of October 2, we checked the live feed and were horrified to see her treating our baby with extreme roughness. Within a 10-minute period, we saw her violently shaking our baby by the neck and jerking him around on her arm in a way that was both careless and aggressive. In shock, we asked her gently to be more careful when holding the baby, as we didn’t want to accuse her outright without further evidence. Her reaction was disproportionate—she broke down, crying about how hard her job was.

TOKYO — An American tourist has been arrested in Japan and accused of carving letters into a pillar of a gate to a shrine in Tokyo.

Steve Lee Hayes, 65, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of property damage, a spokesman from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department confirmed.

Hayes, a U.S. citizen, had “carved alphabet letters onto a pillar of a gate of a shrine” in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo on Tuesday, police said. It’s not clear what state Hayes is from.

The Japan Times reported that the letters were carved into a wooden pillar of a traditional entrance, known as a torii gate, at the Meiji Shrine.

Hayes, who is alleged to have used his fingernails to etch five letters onto one of the torii gates, was identified as the suspect by security video around the shrine, the newspaper reported.

It’s not clear whether he remains in custody.

Meiji Shrine is a Shinto shrine and popular tourist destination in Tokyo that “commemorate(s) the virtue of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken who took the initiative to make a foundation of modernized Japan,” according to its website.

Torii gates are iconic structures that mark the boundary between the everyday and the sacred at Shinto shrines across Japan.

Defacing sites or breaking the rules at important international sites has led to charges and serious fines for tourists on many occasions.

Last year, a tourist was arrested after he was caught on video defacing the wall of the Colosseum in Rome by carving a love note into it. In 2017, Thai authorities fined two American tourists for public indecency for posing for a “butt selfie” in front of a famous Buddhist temple.

“I always knew I couldn’t stop at just one Asian doll.” -Elenor, Founder.

Jilly Bing, the first authentic Asian American doll and toy company, introduces The Riley Doll, designed to represent mixed Asian and Caucasian backgrounds. Two years ago, Elenor created The Jilly Doll, after a frustrating search for a doll that resembled her daughter, Jillian.

Elenor, shares: ‘After launching Jilly Bing, a mom at my son’s soccer game told me how, growing up, she only had a choice between a white doll or a “vaguely Asian-looking” one that didn’t feel right. Now, her mixed-race daughter faces the same lack of representation.

Her story reminded me why I created The Jilly Doll—and why she was just the beginning.’

Riley was made for every child who has felt torn between identities or overlooked. She’s 100% Asian, 100% White, and 100% proud of her heritage. ⁠ ⁠

‘With Riley, we’re one small step closer to a world where every child feels seen and celebrated.  I’m incredibly grateful to all the families who have welcomed our dolls.  Together, we’re making a powerful statement for diversity and inclusion.’

The company has plans to create a line of Asian American characters.  Riley dolls begin shipping in early December—in time for the holidays!

16/11/2024

Social media star Jake Paul defeated legendary boxer Mike Tyson via unanimous decision late Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in one of the most improbable matchups in the sport’s history. 

All three judges ruled the fight in favor of Paul, with scores of 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73.

The win improves Paul’s professional record to 11-1 while dropping Tyson to 50-7.  

“He’s exactly what I thought, one of the greatest to ever do it,” Paul said after the fight.

Tyson was asked if he was officially done boxing. He said he wasn’t sure.
“I don’t think so,” Tyson said on the broadcast. “Maybe the brother (Logan Paul).”

Paul, 27, a social media star with more than 27 million Instagram followers and nearly 21 million YouTube subscribers, cruised in the bout.

After a first round that saw Tyson aggressive, his age caught up to him. Tyson appeared slow for most of the fight and barely landed any significant punches. His offensive output dropped considerably from the mid-rounds on.

The much younger Paul peppered his opponent with jabs and hooks throughout the bout while taking little damage.

Paul was asked after the fight who he wants next. “Anyone I want,” Paul said. “Everyone is next on the list.”

Paul made his professional debut in 2020. He has wins that include former UFC stars Ben Askren, Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz and Mike Perry. His lone loss is a split decision last year against boxer Tommy Fury, the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. 

Tyson, 58, is known as one of the best — and most intimidating — boxers ever. He opened his professional career with 19 straight finishes, 12 of which came in the first round. He later knocked out Trevor Berbick at the age of 20 to become the youngest heavyweight champion ever. Tyson reigned over the division from 1987 to 1990, claiming and retaining the WBA, WBC, and IBF belts en route to a 37-0 start. 

Tyson returned to the ring 20 times since that defeat, going 13-5 with two “no contests.” He has not competed since losing to Kevin McBride in 2005. He was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.

SANTA ANA, Calif. - A Glendale man has been charged with allegedly “executing” a Brea couple and burning their bodies in...
14/11/2024

SANTA ANA, Calif. - A Glendale man has been charged with allegedly “executing” a Brea couple and burning their bodies in the desert, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.

Huangting Gong has been charged with special circumstances murder, kidnapping and more for the killings of Kuanlun Wang and Jing Li in October. He could face a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole or even the death penalty if convicted.

According to the DA’s office, one of Wang’s relatives called police on Oct. 15 after she hadn’t heard from him for several days. The relative also said that Gong, one of Wang’s business associates, owed Wang $80,000.

The relative said that before calling the police, she called Gong. Gong allegedly told her that he was going on a trip with Wang and Li to New York City, where he would allegedly be able to pay off the debt. But, Gong told the relative, the couple never showed up.

According to officials, Gong met Wang in the desert on Oct. 12. That’s where Gong shot Wang in the head, the charges say, before putting Wang’s body in Wang’s own car, then driving back to Wang’s home in Brea.

That’s where the charges claim Gong attacked Li with a hammer, before putting her in her own car, driving out to the desert near San Bernardino, shooting her and setting her body on fire.

After, the DA alleges, Gong went back to the Brea home to retrieve Wang’s body, before taking it to the desert in Riverside County, where he allegedly set the body on fire.

After that, officials said Gong then took the couple’s two cars to different locations, and set them on fire.
“Depravity does not adequately describe the callousness involved to kill a human being and then drive around in the victim’s own car with his body inside in order to carry out the rest of his plan,” said Orange County DA Todd Spitzer.

“No one deserves the fate of being executed and then set on fire in the middle of the desert in a desperate attempt by a killer to cover up his crimes.” It didn’t end there though.

Two days later on Oct 14, Gong returned to the house in Brea to steal nearly $250,000 in watches, clothing, handbags and shoes.
