Listen, Jim. Standing outside the Taco Bell here, you can actually still see the damage just over my shoulder.
There's a window boarded up after police say an employee started shooting at customers. And can you believe this is all over an argument about a water cup?
Inside this West Palm Beach Taco Bell Monday, an argument, THEN CHAOS.
A CUSTOMER hits record as an employee appears to come from behind the counter WITH A GUN.
INVESTIGATORS SAY that employee is 20-year-old Jamari Patterson. Rocking Patterson rocking the gun, then swinging it, striking a woman before a shot fires. Detectives say Patterson then fold fold the group out The fact that he came out of with a gun as a man, and them [ __ ] bucked up on him. They didn't run.
They didn't scream.
They actually got more aggressive.
>> [snorts] >> Where these [ __ ] from, man?
Jesus Christ.
They got more aggressive when they seen the gun.
I'm going to bust your >> [snorts] >> Jesus, man.
Where are these [ __ ] from, man?
What planet these [ __ ] from?
>> [laughter] >> Jesus.
gun, then swinging it, striking a woman before a shot fires. Detectives say Patterson then fold the group outside, firing again as they tried to escape. And the newly released police report has details about how this started. The customers were asking for water cups, then filling them with soda. Police say two people sustained minor injuries, drove themselves to the hospital. We know one, a woman, was very close to being shot.
One individual was grazed during that altercation. 24 hours later, the suspect in front of a judge, charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. And records show this isn't the first time a heated argument turned violent. In 2024, deputies say Patterson pulled a knife during a dispute at home. Meanwhile, back at Taco Oh, man.
He was working, man.
Brother was working.
He wasn't in the streets.
He was working.
Trying to get his life straight. Trying to turn his life around.
>> [snorts] >> Here come these holes up in [ __ ] Taco Bell [ __ ] with him, man.
[ __ ] was working, man.
Holes hate to see a [ __ ] working, man.
He was working his ass off, man.
I know I be going to Taco Bell like a [ __ ] boy.
I be in the building. You hear me?
I love me some Taco Bell.
Jesus. Three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. And records show this isn't the first time a heated argument turned violent. In 2024, deputies say Patterson pulled a knife during a dispute at home. Meanwhile, back at Taco Bell, the doors are open.
People are coming in for food. I spoke with some customers who aren't bothered by the violence. They say they know it can happen anywhere, including a fast food restaurants.
>> I mean, it doesn't surprise me that it would happen. The world we live in today, it it makes sense. So it's not a problem. I don't think so.
Now, this issue with customers taking free water cups and filling them up over at the soda fountain is actually a real problem for so many restaurants. In fact, some companies say that it's added to their overall operating costs to the point where they've now had to increase prices. Now, as far as Taco Bell goes, there's no sort of company-wide policy on how they handle free water cups, but it's up to each individual location to decide how to address it.
Live in West Palm Beach, I'm Katie Bente, CBS 12 News.
Lucas Rash of Delafield was a lot of things to his family. A loving son and brother, a special uncle, a devoted dog dad. But the 25-year-old's life came to a shocking end at this Okauchee apartment Friday night, stabbed to death, prosecutors say, by his long-time girlfriend, 27-year-old Mikayla Cloth.
She admits saying, "I stabbed him.
If you have to take me to jail, okay." According to the criminal complaint issued at Cloth's court hearing Monday, she told investigators Lucas was, quote, "pushing her buttons" because he brought chicken over to cook at the apartment when, quote, "she would rather go out."
>> This complaint indicates that this young lady got into an ultimately got into an argument because he brought home chicken to eat instead of taking her out.
According to the complaint, Cloth admitted to investigators she was stabbed Lucas because, quote, she was angry and went on to say, quote, she should have just gone to the bar and the whole thing was just irritating. I stand before you a shattered man. The [snorts] family was unaware of the circumstances of the stabbing here until the complaint was referenced in court. And they expressed outrage that it was over something so petty. Please never let that monster walk the streets ever again. The commissioner set bail at $2 million cash, saying This makes no sense at all. In Waukesha, Nick Bohr, WISN 12 News.
In a statement to 12 News, Rosh's parents and sister said, quote, we are completely broken at the tragic and senseless loss of our only son. Lucas John Rosh was the most loving, giving, kind-hearted person anyone could ever meet. Cloth remains in custody on $2 million bail.
As we take another look at one of the three people police are now looking for, we are learning tonight that the same gun was used both times the teenager was shot. I witness reporter Shante Lands is live in Ozone Park, Queens with more.
Shante?
Shante and Mike, police spent the day at this subway station added patrols after that shooting of the 15-year-old. The good news is that he's expected to survive. The bad is that that shooter is still on the loose.
An evening commute on a Manhattan-bound A train almost turned deadly for a 15-year-old boy shot in his neck and back as the train approached the 80th Street subway station in Ozone Park, Queens. It's very tragic what happened yesterday.
Extra NYPD officers patrol the 80th Street station on Liberty Avenue as they release these images of this teenager believed to be the shooter. This male is one of two that police are searching for. What happened yesterday is really upsetting. Those are kids. MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber says he's confident that police will find the shooter.
Here's the main point. We got video.
Every subway car in New York has a video camera, has two video cameras in it.
They're getting great video. The cops have a you know, have have leads on the perps and they're going to get them.
Witnesses say passengers were seen ducking to the floor during yesterday's evening commute before running out when the subway doors opened. It was pandemonium. Everybody just just just took off running, man. It could have been the two guys, the teenagers they were fighting. Investigators believe the shooting started from an argument, from an ongoing dispute. A train subway riders are sounding off.
>> Do you still feel unsafe to travel during like um you know, rush That joint right there they a dime a dozen up there, man.
>> [clears throat] >> They a dime a dozen up there in New York, man.
Shower? Like that it's not too common out here, but I feel like recently it's been getting a little worse. The other day there was a man that was like walking around with a knife on this on this platform. But that's the thing, it's not very safe around here.
Police say multiple teens ran away after the shooting. Detectives have identified one, but not this one who is believed to be the shooter. Nowadays kids have a lot easier access to guns, so I I mean I hope they can catch them.
Like Nas and DJ Premier. Right. Um Eesh.
I'm telling you, man.
This is breaking news.
That breaking news is in Winston-Salem.
Two teenagers charged in connection to the mass shooting in Lineberry Park just appeared before a judge. Aaron Barnett was inside of the courtroom and now joins us live. And Aaron, it's my understanding that you got to speak with one of the suspects' family members.
What did they tell you?
Yeah, Waney, we spoke with the parents of Karissa Gomez and they were they were just in utter shock about everything that has happened. Her mom specifically told us she dropped her daughter off at school at Mount Tabor yesterday and when she came back to pick her up, she said her daughter wasn't there. Someone told her her daughter was in police custody.
Now, we know that both Gomez and Greedy Mendoza Soriano are both 16 years old and are being charged as adults in this case. They are both facing two charges, one felony inciting a riot charge and another count of inciting a riot resulting in death. If convicted, the maximum possible sentence for their charges is about 24 years behind bars.
In court, we learned some new details on this case from the district attorney as well. During Mendoza Soriano's hearing, the DA said that Greedy Mendoza Soriano was allegedly involved in the altercation at the park. Mendoza Soriano's mom and siblings were present in the courtroom and they chose not to speak, but Greedy spoke for herself and she said she should be given a bond because she said, quote, I wasn't the one that led to all the tragedy that happened. During Karissa Gomez's hearing, the DA said Gomez allegedly filmed a video at the park. The DA also argued specifically that Gomez should be held without bond because a school resource officer had told them that her family, Gomez and her family, would be leaving the country to visit a sick relative. The judge asked if there was any family present at the time and at that time there wasn't. So, she ultimately granted the DA's request to keep both teenagers held without bond.
But on our way out of the courtroom, Gomez's family walked in. Her mom and dad were visibly shaken up and they told me once we had the chance to speak that they did have plans to go visit family in Belize and this was before this was planned before the mass shooting occurred, but they said they had changed those plans once the incident happened.
They described their daughter as loving.
They said she helps people. She's quiet and she is not a troublemaker, but both teens are expected back here at the Forsyth County Courthouse on May 14th.
Live in Winston-Salem, I'm Aaron Barnett, WXII 12 News.
Well, thank you very much, Aaron, for that report. So far, a total of five people are charged in this case including 21-year-old Yamilet Jimenez Milan, 17-year-old Steven Villena Salute to Far From Handsome, man.
From the UK, man.
Across the pond.
Shout out to Far From Handsome, man.
Salute, man.
And at the center of a deadly shooting at a Myrtle Beach staple out of jail once again. Thanks for joining us at 6:00. I'm Eric Wicefeld. And I'm Nicole Dansler. We followed every development in this case since the shooting happened at Peach's Corner last June. And tonight, the victim's mother is speaking out, says she was never notified of that suspect's release. Our Eric Richards is live in Myrtle Beach now with more on what she had to say and the response from the solicitor. Eric?
Well, a judge ordered McCray back to jail for 90 days for violating terms of his home detention. I for violating terms of his home detention, I learned this afternoon that there are a number of factors on why he did not serve those 90 days completely. This None of this really sitting well with Crystal Sparkman who says that she just wants justice for her son, Grayson Myers.
For six weeks, me and my family were in the exact same area as this person and had no idea that he was back on the street. Outrage and disappointment tonight for Crystal Sparkman and her family as the man accused of shooting and killing her son inside the Peach's Corner restaurant in Myrtle Beach is once again on home detention. Ebony McCray was an employee of the restaurant in June 2025 when police say 18-year-old Grayson Myers entered with a few friends. Police also say that an argument between McCray and Myers escalated into McCray pulling the trigger and killing Myers. A judge issued McCray a bond and he was placed on home detention, but shortly later it was found that he violated the terms of his bond and sent back to jail for 90 days. Sparkman petitioned to keep him in jail while he awaits trial. During us setting this whole petition He got an argument with a white boy, shot his ass in the restaurant.
Shot him dead.
Shot him down like a dog.
Take that white boy.
Take that white boy.
>> [snorts] >> Shot that white [ __ ] down.
God damn.
We We [ __ ] supposed to be scared of white people, right?
That [ __ ] he ain't scared of white people.
I don't know where none of these [ __ ] at, but they say they everywhere. Scared of white people. This [ __ ] That white boy came in there, he shot that white boy down.
Got out on house arrest and violated.
Was out in the streets.
while he awaits trial. During us setting this whole petition up um and working on it, he was already released. Um that put him about doing half of the 90 days and me or my attorney were never notified.
>> Sparkman's online petition gathered over 1,000 signatures. When she sat down with me in March, as planned on presenting the petition to the judge in the hopes of convincing him to keep McCray behind bars. But just days after our interview, he was released.
>> many people may not know is that whether you are sentenced or um violation of a bond or any of that, 90 days doesn't necessarily mean 90 days.
Um you get good time and bad time and and all of those calculations. Which doesn't sit well with Sparkman, who's in Columbia right now advocating for her son and the case.
>> I spoke with someone in a larger office um in reference to the violation. Um there was a violation of the victim's rights uh with me not being notified. So I can file a complaint as far as that is concerned.
Now it Her son do look like he got chains on.
Her son do look negro adjacent, though.
He do look kind of negro negro proximal.
I'll tell you, man.
>> [snorts] >> Your kids [ __ ] with some [ __ ] man.
And they not black.
That's got to be a parent's nightmare, man.
Your kids [ __ ] with some [ __ ] Your kids [ __ ] around with some black people and [ __ ] And you sitting there looking like, "Yo."
And black people are so cool, right? The black culture so cool.
Everywhere, you know?
Black culture is cool, man.
It's trendy, it's hip, it's fashionable.
Tough ti- tough job for a parent, man.
And then you you don't want to be racist cuz then your your kids going to be like that's going to involve them even more if your parent if the kid thinks his parents are racist, that's going to make him want to hang around black people even more.
So you got to make sure you don't come off as racist.
concerned.
Now it is unclear at this point when McCray will be back in court as calls to his attorney have not been returned. In the meantime, Sparkman says that she will continue to collect those signatures on that petition and present them to the judge when that next court date actually happens. We're live in Myrtle Beach, Eric Richards, WMBF News.
A deadly robbery attempt inside of a Whitehaven Walgreens is under investigation tonight. Memphis police say a man was shot and killed while trying to rob the 24-hour store just after midnight Sunday along Elvis Presley Boulevard near East Raines Road.
Investigators say the man was found shot to death inside of the store. Police have not said whether the person who fired the gun was an employee or a customer. Fox 13's Rosalyn Freeman joins us live outside that Walgreens store tonight. Rosalyn, this store was actually closed earlier today.
Yeah, Darcy, when we got here today, we saw a notice posted on the front door telling customers that the store and the pharmacy was temporarily temporarily closed. It has since reopened, but customers tell me that the violence inside of the a place many families depend on is troubling.
To get shot inside of a store is crazy.
Um very sad. To rob a store is a different story. Memphis police say the shooting happened just after midnight Sunday at the Walgreens on Elvis Presley Boulevard near East Raines Road.
Investigators say a man attempting to rob the store was shot and killed inside. Police have not released details about who fired the gun, only confirming the man died at the scene and no one else was injured.
This is a 24-hour Walgreens location and it did reopen again today. But when Fox 13 visited the location this afternoon, a notice posted on the door told customers the store and pharmacy was temporarily closed and would reopen later.
>> They told me that it was closed till like 5:45. Fox 13 did see several Walgreens employees entering the building during the temporary closure.
For some customers, the news is another reminder of the violence impacting the city. Memphis, we got to do better. I hate that whoever it was lost their life. I hate that. But look what he was doing. Fox 13 reached out to Walgreens for a comment. In a statement, the company says, "We are cooperating with police in their active investigation of the incident that occurred. We refer to the police for any additional comment on the incident. We are committed to providing a safe environment for our employees, patients, and customers in the communities we serve."
Again, Memphis police have not said whether the person who fired the gun was an employee or a customer, but Walgreens does prohibit employees from having a gun in the store or anywhere on the property. Now Memphis police say the investigation into the deadly shooting attempt is still ongoing. Darcy. That is They don't even know who did the shooting.
Uh I'll tell you, man.

A lot of [ __ ] hanging out outside.
The peace of Easter morning was pierced by gunfire inside the Big T Plaza in Oak Cliff. Two groups of men with beef between them open fire and innocent bystander who had nothing to do with the violence was hit. Fox 4's Shaun Rabb has the video in this week's Trackdown.
We're in the parking lot at the Big T Plaza. This is Detective Lauren Keybart and you're pinch-hitting for Detective Manuel Prinza today.
>> Yes. But you know what happened inside Big T April 5th.
>> Yes, sir. Tell us what happened inside.
It involved two groups of people and there was a shooting.
Is there video of what happened inside?
>> Correct. Tell me about the video, Detective Keybart. One group showed up to the bizarre and went outside the barber shop. The second group was inside the barber shop. They exchanged words and exchanged gunfire as well. The first group runs away from the window. There's gunfire exiting the barber shop and then the first group returns fire. Anybody hit? Yes, unfortunately. Uh how is that person? They're doing well. Were they part of the shootout? No, they had nothing to do with it. They were an innocent bystander. They exchanged words and gunfire and fled the scene. One group fled in a black Dodge Charger and the other fled in a gray Honda CRV. Somebody's going to know the vehicles. Correct. What bothers you about what happened here?
It was Easter Sunday.
People were out here just trying to shop and enjoy their time and they got caught up in something they had nothing to do with. Now you need somebody to help solve this case. Correct.
Those are pretty good pictures, man.
What Listen.
I know that, you know, a lot of these prosecutors and judges are woke, but jeez.
If they catch these guys, man, >> [cough] >> damn.
How do they do that? How can folks reach Detective Manuel Prinza? So they would reach out by the provided phone number or email. His email, his phone number, right? You need somebody to get at Detective Manuel Prinza. The information provided. Let me ask you, Detective, is the video good enough that if you know them, you know them? Yes. You think so?
>> Yes, sir. You think someone can identify them? I do. And if you know them, you need them to get to know Detective Prinza. Correct. All right. Help solve the shooting that happened inside Big T Plaza April 5th. It could have been far worse. Thank God it wasn't. Now help find the people who were involved in that shootout inside the Big T Plaza.
And you can also watch past Trackdown stories and maybe you can help >> [snorts] >> Do businesses in our area have to let you use their restroom? A story out of Sunnyside this afternoon is raising that very question. A young boy apparently tried using the restroom at a gas station along Bellfort Avenue and was told no.
>> Interesting issue. He had an emergency outside then and the store clerk's accused of publicly sharing that moment, an embarrassing moment, from a security camera. KPRC 2 News reporter Gage Golding is digging in to what the law says. Gage.
Yeah, and I'm going to start with this.
The Houston Police Department is investigating this. We got a case number from the family. That's how we know that information. But it begs the question, do businesses here in Texas have to let the public use the restroom? I'm going to answer that in a moment. But first, I want to show you more about this story, including the moment that we walked into this Fuel Depot. Remember, this is the same exact gas station that last Thursday this young boy tried to go into. The clerk at the counter said, "No, you can't use this bathroom."
Yeah, I feel bad and to see my grandson sad every day like that. I feel real bad for him. I started crying when I seen that video and looked at him in his eyes. There's not even a sign that says no.
Dude, there's a thing that says restrooms. Big sign that says restrooms here.
And a big bathroom.
I mean, it's a big, normal bathroom. I don't know why this kid couldn't have been allowed to use this. It was easy for us to walk in here. We just opened the door. So, what does the guy behind the counter have to say about all this?
Hey, my name's Gage. I'm with KPRC 2 News. I'll spare you the conversation that I could barely hear through this glass wall. So, basically, this guy was saying he works at a different store.
This isn't his normal store. He knows about what happened, but isn't sure what happened in the situation or what happened to the employee there. But Who gives a [ __ ] I I I I really don't give a [ __ ] I don't give a [ __ ] I I don't care.
Um Oh god, these people care.

And then these no good bastards recorded that child and then took the video and showed it to all of the kids leaving the school. Our babies leaving school.

What they did to a young black child was beyond dehumanizing. Mhm.
>> They had a black young boy coming from school. All he asked was to use the restroom.
These no good, dirty, racist bastards told him no. And told him to go behind the building and take a poop. And then these dirty, damn devils recorded it.
>> recorded it. And then when all the kids was coming from school, they man behind the counter was showing all the kids the boy defecating in his nakedness, MAKING MOCKERY OF IT. NOW, THE BOY, WHEN HE WENT TO SCHOOL, THEY MADE MOCKERY OF this kid. They bullied this kid because these no good, dirty bastards, WHO ARE NOT FROM OUR COMMUNITY, WHO DON'T GIVE A DAMN about black people, DEHUMANIZED A CHILD LIKE THAT, HE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY. MHM.

>> [music] >> You let him own that. Say that quick.
Who the hell were watching? You let him own that.
from nowhere. We want him charged.
That's what we're demanding. Termination and charge for the crime he committed against that child. That's what we're demanding. And up until this point, we like we've got some of it, but we want the rest of it. Mhm. Thank you, brothers and sisters.
Disgusting.
Disgraceful.
This man should be indicted. Yep. He sexually exploited one of our children, made fun of him, and set the kid up to be exploited when he told that young boy you cannot use the restroom.
That poor child came into a brand new store with brand new restrooms. He told him he can't use the restroom, then took the recording, told him to go around the back and take a poop, recorded the kid taking a poop, and showed them to and when the kids got out of school from Alex Middle School right here, he was showing them the video, laughing, then he took a picture, a still picture, and put it on the front door of this baby naked, making fun of his genitalia.
But then another thing that also that was shown on the video, this child had to wipe his rear on the grass. on the grass.
Like that is inhumane if you ever want to see it.
Look, I mean, I know I travel a lot.
I've been in positions where, you know, the next gas station ain't for a while and, you know, we all have emergencies.
It seems like this kid was having an emergency. What I'm saying is we've all been there before.
And we've all been desperate to use a bathroom before. I think I'm I'm comfortable saying that. When you see somebody in that position, you you think about the humanity. You're in the middle of a city. You're in the middle of Sunnyside. You're in the middle of a very the third largest city in the world where in 2026 where you think you can't even use the bathroom.
Regardless Regardless of somebody's age or the color of their skin or whether they look like they're up to no good or whatever it might be.
In 2026 in the third largest city in the country, we can't let a young boy go to the bathroom.
The fact that he told a young boy no and to go around the back and do it so he could secretly record him.
Meaning he had already planned this out.
>> And had ill intentions.
>> And he wanted to embarrass this child and get some joy out of recording a naked child taking a poop behind the building.
Then when the kids came from school, he wanted to groom those kids from the middle school by showing the video, making mockery, laughing, talking about the kid's genitalia and private parts.
And that's pedophilia activity. This man is nothing more than a damn pedophile working behind a store counter in the community. Yes. You make fun of this child's private parts, then take a picture and put it up on the window and laugh with the school age children coming from school?
This man is sick and should be indicted.
He should be charged with a crime.
He should be charged with a crime. And that's what we're demanding and demanding his immediate termination.
Don't ever bring him back in this community anyway. And indict this man because he set the kid up to not use the restroom by saying no, you can't so he could secretly record the kid.
>> Because it appears to me that's like a sick fetish that he had. That's the behavior of a monster. Yes.
Disgusting. Thank you. Is your microphone and smashed the front of the Hit the like button, man. Smash that like button. Salute to the left 247 aka Cal Rucker aka the real MVP coming through once again.
Um Five fantasy says, "Thank God sons don't have access to Dukes."
Listen, man.
I know you in the UK over here sons they There's nothing sons don't have access to, man.
and smashed the front of the building.
The entire door was smashed. As soon as I saw that was happening, I got out of there.
And new tonight, tenants at a Minneapolis apartment complex say that they are fed up with rowdy teenagers partying in and hanging around their building. Just the other night, they say a group of them smashed the front door and got inside.
>> Yeah, one tenant says several teenagers attacked him. And this all comes just days after city leaders announced plans to combat crime in Uptown. Fox 9's Mike Menzo spoke with one tenant there and Mike, a city council member is now stepping in on this as well. Yeah, Randy Kelsey, this is that front door that tenants say those teenagers smashed to get inside. City Council member Elizabeth Scheifer calls them urban explorers and says they are wreaking havoc in Uptown. Very loud parties. I hear them at night. They have MCs.
They're shouting uh barking order.
That's the voice of a tenant at the Venue on Knox Apartments in Minneapolis's Uptown neighborhood. He's talking about a chaotic scene that unfolded late Saturday night after he says teenagers smashed this front door and got inside the building. Then from several floors below, he heard what sounded like a raging party on the roof.
I didn't know where that was coming from. The fact that it was from the rooftop and I'm on the second floor like that I could hear it like just shows like it's it's really out of hand.
Another tenant sent this letter to City Council member Elizabeth Scheifer saying a group of at least of them attacked me causing multiple injuries to my head, arms, and body. That attack happened after police say one of them pulled the fire alarm sending everyone outside in the middle of the night. Scheifer sent us a statement saying, quote, "There have been these cases of urban explorers who scale to rooftop patios, are trespassing, and creating havoc.
Authorities are working together to put in place some strategies to make sure this doesn't happen again." But even after all this, tenants say they still haven't heard a word from apartment management. They haven't sent us a single email. I thought there would be emails. I thought there would be phone calls to us. They've been completely unresponsive.
And we also reached out to management tonight, but never heard back. Police meanwhile say they documented the property damage. They say they have not made any arrests. Randy Kelsey, All right, Mike. Seems was odd. Thank you.
Oh my god.
Oh [ __ ] Well, this isn't a story you hear about every day and it's an only on Fox report. A long time Houston defense attorney is punched in the face by this guy, his own client. That client was just told he would have to serve 50 years in prison for murder. Fox 26's Randy Wallace spoke exclusively to the attorney, John Petruzzi and is joining us now live. Randy.
Yeah, Anthony. Now, in his 46 years practicing law, John Petruzzi says he's represented hundreds of murder defendants, but he said what happened yesterday with his court-appointed client was a first for the veteran attorney.
On the surface, the PSI hearing in the 178th Judge Kelly Johnson's court was fairly routine. 27-year-old Jaquarious Lewis pled guilty to a murder that happened in April of 2024 at 7959 Sunbury. Lewis was facing 5 to 50 years.
The state recommended 50 years and the judge agreed. And the judge pronounced the sentence and at that point, apparently, now I was out, my client hit me in the face and people in the courtroom say that I fell back. I was standing, I fell back against the chair and then I hit a counter and hit the back of my head and apparently fell on the ground, but I don't remember any of that and then the next thing I remember is I'm standing in the courtroom and there's just a ton of people there, bailiffs and paramedics and all kinds of commotion and then somebody said to me, John, do you realize your client just punched you in the face? And I said, no, I didn't know that. What did you think? What was your reaction to that? Well, I was I was kind of shocked, really. I mean, I've done this a long time and I've never had a client hit me before and you know, I've laughed at all these years and I was I was shocked. What was it like that day with Mr. Lewis? I mean, did everything seem kind of normal?
>> I thought we were getting along okay. I didn't get the impression that he was ready to hit me or anything. No, and he never he didn't like, you know, threaten me that morning and but apparently when he heard the sentence, that that kind of you know, pushed a button, let's say.
Lewis is now charged with injury to the elderly. The DA's office requested that Lewis's bond be set at $100 million.
Reporting live at the courthouse, Randy Wallace, Fox 26 News.
>> [snorts] >> I thought those who want to get some footage of the punch, man.
I want to see the punch, man.
>> [laughter] >> Vendors hope the changes make a difference, but it will still impact business.
>> Madison Elliott continues our team coverage tonight with what they had to say. Madison.
Some vendors told me that they are worried. They hope these changes make a difference, but at the end of the day it still hits their bottom line.
There's no shortage of flavors at Snowy Joe's Shaved Ice, a locally owned vendor at Festiville. And co-owner Elizabeth Falary loves what she does, even as she currently battles cancer.
>> You guys come up with some crazy thing you want me to mix, oh, I'm excited to make it for you. This was her first year as a vendor at Festiville and she was excited. That's until multiple reports of juveniles fighting shut down the event two nights in a row early. She described teens climbing over fences and on Monday organizers announced they'll be closing an hour early every night.
>> When they cut us off even you know, an hour or two, that's a lot for us, especially the evening, that's when we do the best because that's when we get off our young people in here that are all excited. Souvenir vendor Tammy Holland says one of the fights broke out in front of her stand pushing into one of her tables. To me, this is a children's event and now I think that families are going to not be able to come and enjoy it because they don't know what's going on. Another vendor who's come down from Chicago for the last 15 years says this festival is always a big money maker and weekends are the busiest, but with these disruptions on top of weather, it's frustrating. We closed 2 hours earlier, so so I would have not doing sales. So that's the the worst part of the that this event.
>> All businesses hope the new policies make a difference so vendors like Falary can keep doing what they love without disruptions. Thanks for all the love and that see us.
And vendors like Falary just encourage people to come on down here, come out and support them and they got a lot of great food that they're just excited to serve people. So they're hoping that people can come support them tonight.
Reporting live, Madison Elliott, WLKY News.
You all know who's doing the fighting.
No need No need to even ask.
No need to ask.
Burglary, sexual assault, stabbing and overdose, those are just a few of the reasons why Greensboro police were called to Studio 6 on Beasley Street over the last 6 months. Today, the Alcohol Law Enforcement Nuisance and Abatement Team along with Greensboro police were granted a temporary restraining order from a judge to begin the process of shutting down Studio 6.
This comes after city officials say violence there has gotten out of hand and needs to be addressed. Well, there was a large police presence at the motel from around 11:00 this morning until 1:00 this afternoon.
>> Fox 8's Gretchen Zingler was there during the process. She joins us now with more on this. Gretchen, what did you see?
Yeah, there were a lot of police here at the scene, but it was a very casual scene. There were no dramatic arrests, but police got to work. They immediately showed their papers saying that a judge had granted them a temporary restraining order and then they got to work taking inventory of how many people were living inside the motel. Andre Harold, the assistant city manager for the city of Greensboro, explains that this is a civil suit against the motel. Hey, listen.
Motel 6 is a magnet for transient people.
Those places are I mean, listen.
I don't want to hate on anybody because like if you can call if you can get up what I think about now is at $80 a day for a room and pay $80 every day for a room, so be it.
But the only people that can really do that prostitutes, pimps, drug dealers, that's who you're going to have at the Motel 6.
And then you will have some people stupid enough to stay there cuz they don't know no better.
They just see they coming out of town, they see a hotel.
They're looking for a place to stay and they they don't read the Yelp reviews.
That happens all the time, though.
That's very common for a hotel to get to be like that. You turn like that. Oh, man.
I heard about this today. This is sad.
>> East Coast is walking all the way to the West Coast and he's got a big reason for it. He wants to help young people find direction and purpose.
>> While crossing through Indiana, Isaiah Thomas was hit by a car in an accident.
The driver is described to be an older man. It's not clear what went wrong that he caused the crash. The shocking moment was captured on camera with thousands watching it unfold in real time.
Yes, sir.
Let's go. From troubled teen to a determined man on a mission. Yeah, 14 years old, I had got locked up for a gun charge and things like that and a judge had gave me a second chance. A promise to Isaiah Thomas's mother changed everything. And I decided that I wanted to change my life around and I promised to my mom that I never ever was going, you know, be in the streets or do anything like that anymore. From Philadelphia to Los Angeles, the 27-year-old's journey is powered by strangers turned supporters. We all love you, brother. We all love you, let's get it, my boy, let's get it. But this isn't just a walk, it's a movement. Thomas is raising money through GoFundMe, Twitch, TikTok and Instagram to build a trade school for young people searching for direction like he once was. So we want to offer trades for kids that's fresh out of high school. We understand that a lot of kids they don't really know what they want to do. So we want to be able to get them in trades and be able to make money while time they 21 years old, they'd be certified and be able to make money and eventually coach them in owning their own business. The Philadelphia native and business owner himself has a growing clothing brand.
He's walking to create opportunity. 34 days in, 750 miles completed, all on foot. We made it to Indiana. But then everything changed.
A car slams right into the good Samaritan's SUV that was following Thomas. And in an instant, I was thrown right into the air. One of the supporters that was watching me on TikTok, they offered to you know, trail me for to get to to get to the other part of Indiana that I was going to. He says it felt like déjà vu. Just 6 months ago, another accident left him with serious injuries and a back brace. I had fractured bones in my spine, a fractured rib, and I had to get surgery on my shoulder.
Um so, I actually that's why the back brace saved me. The aftermath Pants ripped. of this accident in Richmond, Indiana sent Thomas to the hospital. I'm good.
Um they just running some tests right now. Bruised, shaken, but alive, the crash took more than his footing. This is the old cart right here that we had. You know, it was all broken up. The accident destroyed his cart, holding batteries, clothes, food, and the equipment he uses to document every mile. I just got some sprains and stuff like that, but one of the things that the cops said, he said, "Listen, you just you blessed to be alive the way that car hit you."

Now to an unusual and disturbing find in fast food drinks. A worm. And it happened to several customers at the same McDonald's in Paddock Lake. TMJ4 got a Facebook message from Jasmine, one of the affected customers. And she told us, "I'm extremely angry and having a hard time wrapping my head around it all." Adding, "It comes down to two things. Either a sanitary issue or that someone is doing this." Our Kenosha County reporter, Glenda Valdez, traveled to the McDonald's in Paddock Lake and met up with Joe, another one of those who found recently found a creature in his drink.
It all started with an order from McDonald's right here in Paddock Lake.
We had purchased two coffees and a smoothie and ended with a disturbing discovery. We threw all the rest of it away right away cuz it was so disgusting. Jasmine Gurski posted on a local Facebook group after she says she found a worm in her drink. Two other customers who she says she doesn't know chimed in saying it happened to them, too.
Yo, that's a lawsuit, man. Shout out to Christopher, man.
That's a lawsuit, man.
That's a lawsuit.
That that's just There's no way that could be on Yo, there's no way that that worm could live inside of that soda machine.
The soda machine has two different things that come together to make soda.
It's not just soda sitting up there.
It's the carbonation and then there's the syrup.
Press one, do you know that? It's not just like a big jug of soda and they just open the valve and the soda come out.
It's like uh two two different lines.
The carbonation and the syrup.
There's no way that you can push that thing and that that's that a worm could live in it. Somebody's putting that worm in there. That's a um That's a that's a lawsuit.
The worm came through the straw. It went into my mouth. I spit it out in my hand and I was contemplating life because I've never had something that gross happen to me in my life.
Um it's absolutely disgusting.
Kenosha County Public Health says it received multiple consumer complaints about the worms and came out to inspect the restaurant on Monday. According to the report, management told inspectors they noticed worms coming from a sewage receptacle under the drive-thru soda and ice machine over the weekend. A health officer said recent flooding may have caused a failure in the floor drain and tiles, allowing water to come back through the machine.
Regular just tea is like a worm to be inside of it.
>> No, yeah, and it's it's not just an earthworm. It's a sewage worm.
So, that makes it even worse. If you have a kid, you wouldn't want to feed that to your kid.
Nobody would want to feed a worm a sewage worm to their kids.
Hi, this is Glenda with TMJ4. I'm I called the McDonald's location directly and the manager told me they can't comment and referred me to their licensee. Hello. I spoke with a representative there who transferred me to another contact, but I did not hear back. According to the inspection report, McDonald's management hired a pest control company to service the area and plans to have repairs done soon.
Kenosha County Public Health has now ordered a reinspection of the drive-thru soda machine before it can be put back into service. In Paddock Lake, Glenda Valdez, TMJ4 News.

Mike, as you heard, six women were targeted on Sunday, but police fear there could be more victims. Now, one of the incidents happened behind me inside the Vallarta Supermarket grocery store here in Winnetka. Tonight, police have identified the suspect who is wanted for multiple sex crimes.
A serial sexual assault suspect is on the loose in the Valley after he allegedly targeted six different women at various locations Sunday in just a matter of hours. LAPD detectives have identified the man as 29-year-old Damian Denzel Robinson, a convicted sex offender. Damn. He is seen in this cell phone video inside the Vallarta Supermarket on Vanowen and Corbin in Winnetka fleeing after allegedly grabbing a shopper from behind, sexually assaulting her.
The victim is heard screaming for security as a bystander records the aftermath. Uh it's instinct. Drop everything and just kind of rush over there real quick. And as soon as I come around the the turn I notice this large man like rushing past me. Jason Perio was shopping when he heard the commotion from the next aisle over and says he had to do something.
>> This man just touched me on my my my butt and my breast and I'm like oh god and I'm just trying I'm trying to get what I can you know with my camera and next thing you know he starts heading out towards the door. The LAPD says the incident was one of six sexual assaults committed by the same man that day. The crime spree started just after 9:00 a.m. targeting women some of whom were elderly. The suspect's MO pulling down the victim's pants, grabbing them from behind and in some cases recording the incident on his cell phone. The assaults occurred inside of multiple businesses such as retail and grocery stores even inside a restroom. Some shoppers now say What's up TI man?
Man what's the deal?
Man.
First of all how how's my mic? Yeah you good you good man. Man what the hell?

Um There's some change.
I don't know suns might be getting priced out.
>> Premium Outlets on Tuesday. Several people with masks and gloves on seen running. They're coming from Mark Robinson Jewelers. Round Rock police say they went into the store with hammers, began breaking glass display cases and then stole a lot of jewelry. Police say they pepper sprayed a store employee and another person before leaving in a stolen car. That car was a Hyundai Sonata which happens to be the second most stolen car from the first half of 2025.
It was later found abandoned nearby at the 401 Terra Vista apartment complex.
Round Rock PD says it was stolen from Humble in the Houston area. The modus operandi that the FBI and the Jewelers Security Alliance talks about first of all is the mob style execution of these crimes. You're generally looking at between 10 and 30 masked suspects that charge into the store sometimes with weapons but there are massive losses in under 60 seconds. The price of gold has skyrocketed lately and so these crimes are very lucrative.
Although gun violence has decreased with smash and grabs there are still some incidents that still involve violence.
A lot of the jewelry is being sent overseas to other countries. Security expert Timothy Zaring says this is preventable. He encourages using layered security. Bollards are a great way to prevent people from smashing in. The next thing is shatter resistant glass and film that you can put over glass even if you don't replace the glass.
Think of window tinting on your car.
If they put this film on the glass even if the glass breaks it holds intact so they can't get in. He also suggests fogging machines. Somebody hits the trigger and the entire store fills up with fog.
You are instantly in a cloud. You can't see the jewelry. You can't see the people that shops them. They leave. He says being proactive can save business owners money and also keep them and their staff safe.
Mhm.
Right.
Um >> [snorts and clears throat] >> I mean I don't I don't know the solution. I mean as far as I'm concerned uh there is no solution so.
An Oak Park woman is sharing her story tonight after a frightening carjacking outside of her apartment complex. She says three men robbed her while she was getting groceries to bake for her co-workers.
>> Fox Chicago's Leslie Moreno joins us live in the studio with all the details.
Hey Leslie. Hey guys yeah really sad. Um she was out there by herself 4:11.
Unfortunately fortunately though uh she wasn't injured but she did get quite the scare. She's also hoping those three suspects are watching this and will hear her message to them.
Denise Goldberg says it happened in less than a minute but it felt like hours.
They start pulling the bags and saying let us help you carry those bags ma'am.
I said no I'm good and I already knew. I knew they were going to rob me.
According to police she was unloading groceries outside her apartment along Washington Boulevard in Oak Park on April 20th when three suspects approached her. They grabbed my arms and then they took my purse and they took my keys and they they drove off with my car. Denise says the attack came just two days before she was scheduled for knee surgery and she had only gone shopping to pick up ingredients for something special a banana cake for her co-workers. My co-workers you know they act like um I mean I don't know if I can say this but they act like you know there's drugs in the cake it's so good.
Unfortunately for the suspects they got away with nothing. Because I had no cash in my wallet. My credit card was maxed out cuz I had to pay for the surgery. So they tried to make some purchases online and they were declined. I'm like I'm like good. You didn't get anything out of this. But I'm like what was the point? Despite the ordeal she says she still went through with the surgery and in a show of resilience still baked her co-workers her signature banana cake. I was thankful by the grace of God that they did not hurt me. And I'm like I'm not going to let them ruin my night. I was going to sit up you know bake my cake enjoy the evening. You know I wasn't going to let them ruin my night.
So that was my plan. And I went to the store to get that everything I needed for the banana cake and then got robbed.
I'm like I'm making this banana cake.
You know it cost me a lot. And here's her message to those suspects.
>> That's right man that banana cake might be good man.
That that banana cake man.
Yeah no I bet it is.
[ __ ] [ __ ] that. You you little thug ass [ __ ] ain't going to stop this man.
You know but look at the cold word banana cake huh? She cold and banana cake.
Oh that's how she's going to get That's how she's going to let everybody know who >> [laughter] >> who the racist Yeah banana cake hmm how convenient. Hey the lady should be glad. She should be glad that she ain't get pistol whipped.
>> a job. Yeah.
You know I work hard. All of us around here are working hard. None of us have any money.
Oh and then of course she has that knee brace.
You know you know you know suns love to prey on the weak. Yeah. So so she she was kind of blessed.
No doubt. This morning in the West Side no arrests have been made. Oh Leslie do we know if there are any leads or if this is a trend that they're seeing in the area?
>> Yeah unfortunately police wouldn't confirm if this is a trend but Denise did mention that a few days after the following Friday another one of her neighbors also the same thing happened to her so they might be targeting um you know elderly women women who are alone.
She was out at around 10:00 11:00 so she said she's going to be grocery shopping a little bit earlier. Wow, we have to try that banana cake. Yeah, and the secret ingredient she says of course lots of love but the right amount of ripe bananas. And she can't tell you how ripe she just knows, you know.
>> Okay. All right, well thanks. And you put that recipe on the website, right?
>> to try to get it online.
>> All right, very good. Very good.
>> Leslie's okay. Yes. Leslie, thank you.
Hey, but there are some very sweet bananas if you get them right. So I I bet that does make a big difference with the banana cake. Yeah, I mean I'm not going to say that like I'm an expert on banana cakes but you know, um my wife she like the rotten ones like once they go real real brown she she make with that.
But I guess that's the sugar the natural sugars cuz that's when they when when a banana rots is actually you know what I mean sugar sugar.
And I guess it's the whatever it's um what do you call it fermenting or or or uh rotting or whatever whenever it rots it gets sweeter.
Um Yeah.
>> Interesting.
Yeah, she she she is saying those those rotten ones man. Um I I don't really like bananas to eat. I like plantains.
You know, fried plantains. Yeah, I'm not a plantain guy.
See, you are you are a true African. Tell you was born in Africa you you love fried plantains.
Yeah, you know how it is man. I love I love that man. I I love all types of food man. Don't give me the line man. I would eat a lot of a lot of food that I would eat man. Um Oh wow, we got another a dispute. We got violence. Um Oh [ __ ] Uh-uh.
>> [snorts] >> Tonight an Indianapolis family is waiting for justice following a deadly shooting Monday afternoon on Indy's east side. Fox 59's Jesse Wells spoke to that victim's mother and father today and explains what they think led to the homicide. Police believe the deadly violence here along the street stem from a dispute between two men. So far no arrests have been made but the victim's parents tell me he leaves behind a large family that desperately wants the shooter held accountable.
In the middle of a rain shower just before 4:00 Monday afternoon police were called here to 29th and Euclid and found a man shot. That victim died a short time later after being rushed to the hospital. Right now I'm feeling a lot of hurt, a lot of pain. You know, it seems like a big hole in your heart especially when your children leave before you.
Claudia Winston says prior to her son's death 33-year-old Lamiek Boykins was a father to 11 kids. For the children, [snorts] you know, my heart hurts. Damn, 11 kids. Boykins man.
I mean Lamiek had 11 kids bro. Yeah, I ain't going to lie. Well, no I let me not say that. I was about to say he kind of he kind of looks like one of those sun men that sits around all day but I don't know. 11 kids I don't think the government's >> around all day. Just I mean listen.
If you not a play your [ __ ] like it's not even like about like you know, nothing but game. Like if you got game and especially if you choose the right ones. Like if you choose like you know your first couple of baby mamas right or your first couple of girls right and they they very uh timid and uh let me just say soft-spoken and feminine and and down they'll train all the other girls especially if you have a harem like this guy.
His down bottom [ __ ] can train the rest of them.
Damn, that's very true. You know how it is.
>> Yeah, that's that's um that's very continental like that's uh that's the polygamy polygamy way in Africa. Yeah, exactly. The the mother the you know, she gets tired of having children so she goes and finds some finds a sister wife.
Yeah, this guy is um is so many guys like him that would do the kids like I said.
I mean he probably have some more too.
Like if he if if he goes to jail goes to prison and comes out some some [ __ ] will come up to jail and give him some [ __ ] Some dudes just got it like that.
Some dudes just got it like that. My heart hurts. They have to grow up, you know, um the oldest being 15 and the youngest being five without their father that they seen every day in their life.
Winston believes her son came to a salvage lot here along Euclid to talk to a man he knew although the reason for their dispute remains unclear.
Unfortunately, that confrontation led to an argument that ended in gunfire after which the gunman fled the scene. Mhm.
A simple argument didn't have to turn into a devastation.
Didn't have to turn out the way that it did, you know, um it was very senseless. Police reports don't have any details on the shooter but the victim's family did share information on a possible suspect and the investigation remains ongoing.
Lamiek's parents tell me they just want their son's killer brought to justice.
That's all we want. We want justice. It just didn't have to go this way. It really didn't. And so yeah, you know, we're going to mourn. We're going to be in pain for a long time for a long long time because the fact that Lamiek had on a lot of people.
As always anyone with information on the case can still contact either IMPD's homicide office or Crime Stoppers.
Jesse Wells, Fox 59 News.
Some dudes just got it like that man. He he you know, especially in Blackistan especially if you not picky and you not choosy. If you not choosy in Blackistan and you just taking all comers oh yeah, you can you know what I mean?

So you now have to pull your big you know, your big boy pants on and now you have to do the time.
>> Fox 59 learned new details about the accident. A Florida Highway Patrol arrest report show Morales was driving a dark colored Mustang that was weaving in and out of traffic. Troopers said the car was driving at high speeds before hitting a Chevy Trailblazer. The impact forced the SUV into the path of the semi truck facing was driving. His truck overturned across all southbound lanes.
Police say Morales left the scene. They found his car at the Braves game in Atlanta.
>> [laughter] >> Yeah, man. You got to sit down. Yeah, but it's still vehicular so it's not going to be too long.
And remember, he's getting that car.
>> No, they said he's gone and I'm sorry.
And I was like, "What do you mean he's gone? Like gone where? Like in an ambulance? Like something like that?"
Like but I had to actually hear those words like like he's gone. Like he's dead. Like those words specifically and I lost it.
>> Meanwhile, Johnson says she wishes this was just a dream. I just hope he's up there, you know, looking down and watching us. You know what I mean?
Watching over us. I you know, I miss him a lot.
And Morales is charged with the vehicular homicide and leaving a crash scene involving death. He entered a not guilty plea. Now, there is a GoFundMe account set up to help out the family.

Albinos in Tanzania are being hunted for their body parts with limbs selling for up to $75,000.
Many albinos are abandoned by their parents and forced to hide. But I found a secret shelter where a small community is fighting to survive. How does it feel when your own family wants to disown you? He told us that I'm no longer your father. And also he wanted to kill us.
And what is it like to grow up in a place where your skin makes you a target? I'm about Jesus Christ.
Man, I mean And what is it like to grow up I I understand I unders I see I totally get what Alex What's the dude for that directed Roots? Is it Alex Haley?
Uh I totally get the purpose of that. I totally get Tariq Nasheed's purpose of the FBA because you know, if you're sitting here trying to pray to the ancestors.
Here's the ancestors. This is you pray to.
Exactly.
Oh, Jesus. Just all bad.
>> [clears throat] >> Look at these beautiful kids, man. I mean somebody will come up and like their their body parts of Jesus Christ, man. Oh my god.
in a place where your skin makes you a target. I'm about to meet Sister Martha whose life's mission is to protect every albino in Tanzania. Welcome. We are very happy for you to visit us. So, the purpose to have this ministry is to change the mind of people to know the truth about people with albinism that we are really human being. From her small office, Sister Martha runs a safe haven down the road, a home for about [laughter] 50 albino kids who were all abandoned by their families. To protect the safety of the community, I can't reveal our exact location, but here Sister Martha gives them not just shelter, but education, comfort, and a second chance at childhood. Nice to meet you. How are you?
Hello.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, it's where we are living. Though it is not in the sufficient, but we thank God that he have called me to help my fellow. And this is our kitchen. You have the chef in here cooking. Yes, the catfish. Catfish. Yeah. How are you?
Fine. Nice to meet you. That looks smells really good.
So nice that she has a home for all of these vulnerable people. So lovely. How did you find each of them to come here?
I have been visiting door to door where I hear there is a person with albinism.
So, when there is a person with albinism, even if it is a elder person, the information is, "Do you know Sister Martha or Reverend Martha?" Mhm. If you don't know, here is her contact. How do the families of them feel when you take them here? They are very happy because after education, some of the family come even to visit their children. And some also say, "Okay, we are very happy to stay with our children home." If it is there any challenge after sending the children home? We have to take them immediately back.
In Tanzania, one in 1400 people are born with albinism, which is far higher than the global average. I'm so grateful to be able to spend quality time with them and learn more about their stories. How old are you? 19 years old. You're only 19, you speak perfect English. And where are you originally from?
>> I come from Kilimanjaro. [music] And how long have you been living here?
Since I was young, 3 years old. Are you close with your family, your parents?
>> My mom, maybe, but my dad I do not I do not know where he is. He told us that I'm not I'm no longer your father. And also, he wanted to kill us. Your father wanted to kill you? Yes. Oh, that's terrible. Do you feel safe here? Yes, I feel happy when I'm here cuz I I enjoy a lot and a lot. I got all my basic needs.
>> [music] >> And I think how much she has helped me.
That's so nice of her to help you. Do you have like like family and friends back home in Kilimanjaro or every everyone is here? I have my young brother also, but he has gone to greet mother. Do you think you'll ever see your dad again?
I usually not think about my father. He disappointed me a lot. I'm so sorry to hear that. Every day, Sister Martha and Mr. Mganga usually tell me, "Don't mind.
Don't lose hope about your father's words." What do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be a lawyer. That's so nice. You You have to go to law school. So, you're going to study really hard for that.
Do you ever get to go outside on the streets by yourself? I'm afraid. I cannot go. Many people, they believe that they when they get a part of our skin, of our body, they become more rich. Do you have any message that you want to say to the world? I love them so much, and let's pray. Pray to our God, and we should not believe on bad customs and beliefs upon people with albinism.
Just trying to comprehend everything that's going on right now. It's really really heartbreaking, but also beautiful at the same time that they do have shelter and they do have a community here.
How many years have you been living here? I stay for a few days, I go home.
Do you speak with your parents? Do they accept you?
Yes, they accept. That's so nice. Tell me about the community here. Here, I enjoy because I get everything without any kind of payment. Food, bed, everything.
>> [laughter] >> And how about the other people here? Do you like them? Yes. Are they your best friends? Yes. What are some of the struggles that you have? My family, the problem we have is a financial problem on I understand.
After hearing what these teens have been through, the fear, the bullying, and the isolation, it's clear that life as an albino in Tanzania comes with intense challenges. But for Sister Martha, the pain was unbearable. Years ago, she attempted to take her own life, and that moment changed everything. That was not accepted in my family. Jeez.
I didn't [snorts] expect to hear that.
Yeah, man, it's rough being different around [ __ ] man.
You different You You this different?
This is really different.
This is really different. Yeah, I know.
Not to mention you're in Africa with that climate, so.
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's true.
>> [snorts and clears throat] >> Deep deep in and just try to like overcome [ __ ] man.
You got to like You got to be like strong to be around [ __ ] man.
Yeah.
>> [laughter] >> You got to be a strong [ __ ] man. Think about these people, man.
Somebody would just cut Somebody would kill kidnap them, cut their arms off, and then, you know, send them back out.
All right, thanks for your services.
Crazy.
Man, I want to see what else is going on, man.
Um >> [clears throat] >> There's something about this Africa [ __ ] bro.
I experienced it myself a long time ago when I was little.
They wanted me to be more beautiful and attractive to men.
You know, here thin women aren't considered the same as fat women.
This [music] is one of the last remaining places that carries on a very ancient tradition.
That's a forcing women to eat against their will to become fat.
Beauty is a gift from God. Some have it, some don't.
My name is Giuseppe, and I have a mission to travel the world to meet the most extraordinary people on the planet and to ask them a simple question.
What does happiness mean to you?
Welcome to Project Happiness.
>> [music] >> We've arrived in Kiffa, 500 km from the capital Nouakchott.
All eyes are on us because we're far from the tourist routes. Usually, Western tourists don't come here because there's nothing to see. We're here because this is one of the last remaining places still carrying on a very ancient tradition. The practice of force-feeding, which means forcing women to eat against their will to become fat.
Because here, a fat woman is much more attractive, and so it's much easier to find a husband. Now, the problem will be finding one. Not every woman wants to talk about it, but we're in the right place.
Practice of women being fattened to make them more beautiful is deeply rooted in Mauritanian culture and beauty standards.
A fuller figure here signifies prosperity, health, and fertility.
This custom is called leblouh, but it's best not to use that word in public because although 80% of women have experienced it, it still remains a taboo.
Mothers are often convinced that there is no other way to ensure a good future for their daughters, and they force their girls to consume enormous amounts of food and drink, and inflict pain on them if they do not eat and drink.
I certainly don't go unnoticed here, and some boys are even worried that I'm lost. But as soon as I explain what I'm looking for, they point me to a covered side of the market where there are only women. There, I should find my answers.
We're in the marketplace of this village where in this area, all of the women embroider traditional Mauri cushions.
Amazing. I've never seen such an authentic market.
When I randomly run into these places so authentic and sincere, I feel these are the adventures I dreamed of having as a kid. And it just happens randomly. You can't plan it. You can't write about it.
You can't read about it in books. It just happens when you really travel.
>> [music] >> It's not easy finding someone who wants to tell her story, but even those who don't want to talk show me through their refusals the marks left by this practice. Faster than I thought, a news spreads of a bida, or white person, searching for a woman to interview about leblouh, goes around the market, and a woman invites me into her shop.
Could you explain me how have you been force-fed? Or what does it mean?
It's a months-long process during which you are forced to drink liters of baissi. This drink is given to women in the morning.
They have to drink it all day until the evening.
It's made of camel's milk and millet.
In addition to that, you must also eat a lot at lunch and dinner.
Another fattening drink is couscous, made with milk, rice, peanut oil, and pure animal fat.
There are many ways to fatten girls.
I experienced it myself a long time ago when I was little.
Only when I was grown up did I understand why they forced me to gain weight. They wanted me to be more beautiful and attractive to men. Here, thin women aren't considered the same as fat women. Why do force-fed women here uh more attractive than skinny women? Touching a fat woman is more satisfying than touching a thin one. Otherwise, men would feel they're touching another man's bones.
And how do you feel now? You feel confident in your body? Yes, I feel fine now.
Listening to this woman's words makes me think about what beauty really is.
Mauritanian culture offers a unique interpretation of what is considered attractive, but the serious health problems related to weight raise ethical questions about the priority of pursuing an aesthetic ideal over the health of the people involved. Yeah, they don't know [ __ ] they don't know nothing about diabetes and you know, heart disease, you know?
They don't know anything about that.
They're just Africans and [ __ ] you know what I They just die. They just die and blame blame it on witchcraft. Yeah, exactly.
She didn't eat enough. They probably said she didn't eat enough food. Or she You know what I'm saying? It's just she died cuz she ain't eat enough. She should have ate more.
[ __ ] [ __ ] don't know about none of that [ __ ] man. That's That's This [ __ ] is This These Africa, [ __ ] bro.
Yeah. Always remember what you said, Oc, whenever it comes to, you know, Africans here versus, you know, there.
It's It's the best of us. It's the best of the Africans here. Yeah.
Like, I mean, you could probably get away with doing this in America. Some white liberal [ __ ] would be like, "That's their culture. You can't tell them not to do that." But, I don't know, man. I don't know. I would hope to believe that if the school found out you was doing this to your [ __ ] daughter and [ __ ] they would [ __ ] call CPS on your ass and not be like, "Worry about your [ __ ] culture and [ __ ] This is your culture. This ain't our culture."
Yeah.
Cuz they They be They they punish the girls. The girls don't just want to eat. You nobody going to eat all day. They They They They make them like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, you literally like they they get they I wonder if this is going to show it. I saw another documentary on it.
But, um We'll I'll see if this is This is going to actually shows it. in Mauritania. It is said that in the oasis of Terjit, a tiny green spot in the boundless Sahara desert, live the most beautiful women in the world.
My faithful travel companion, Bou, knows a man who can get us inside.
We just met with the village leader.
There is a curiosity, a detail that you may not be seeing.
Bou and the gentleman are holding hands.
It is a sign of great friendship. Bou has known him for many years, since he was a little boy. Now they are reunited and they express their affection by holding hands. In Arab countries, it is very normal and very common for best friends to hold hands.
And we just saw it with them.
Incredible story. But, let's stop for a moment to I mean, I I've heard the rumors about what goes on in those in those, you know, I I hear I hear what the women for and what the boys are for. So, Exactly. Exactly. That's some I don't I don't I don't even want to I don't want to go any [snorts] further. Oh, and and listen, I I dap you up and [ __ ] Brother man dap you up and didn't let go, [ __ ] [ __ ] will hold They just hold on to that [ __ ] >> [laughter] >> No. Hell, no.
Oh, yeah.
Talk about something that affects all of us every day. To use free services or sites, we fill out We have discovered that the beauty of a woman sometimes is based on her size.
The more a woman is fat, let's say, the more she's beautiful. What do you think about it?
There is an explanation.
At one time, our ancestors thought that beauty resided in abundance.
Today in our community, I can't tell you that a beautiful woman is thin or obese.
In fact, obesity is now considered a real disease.
Because people figured it out. We got to progress. Before it was considered beautiful.
And what do you think about fat farms and force-feeding women? You know, I think they're not bad people. They're simply not aware of the consequences of obesity. But, little by little, more people are discovering it. And it becomes rarer to hear of families who force their daughters to become obese.
And what is the meaning of beauty for you? What is beauty in your opinion?
In Mauritania, we say eyes are all the same, but they see differently.
So, every woman is beautiful.
It just depends on the man who's looking at her.
A lot of times, they be blowing smoke [snorts] up your ass, too, cuz like they don't want to like seem because they know the white man here, so it's something going on. So, they they they know they got to be on their best behavior cuz the white man here.
Yeah, but I don't know. It seems Oh, you don't Oh, you don't believe it?
You think that this was a It felt like he Yeah, it it was a stage. No, I'm talking about like I don't believe in like it's rare. I believe He may He may be like a cultured [ __ ] but to act like, "Oh, well, this That doesn't happen anymore." Get the [ __ ] out of here.
>> Yeah. Yeah, cuz he was really trying to sell it like making it trying to make it seem like, "Hey, we're in modern world here. It's not just It's not just camels and and and druids out here." Ain't no [ __ ] way that they stopped that [ __ ] [ __ ] are backwards. It's [clears throat] hard to make [ __ ] stop [ __ ] Think about all the [ __ ] they do here to stop [ __ ] from killing each other and [ __ ] Like, it's hard to make nig- [ __ ] are stubborn, man.
[ __ ] don't stop [ __ ] [ __ ] don't really just stop. [ __ ] don't just say, "Oh, really? That's bad. Okay, let's just stop." It don't really work like that in real life. Yeah, it's it's Yeah, it's it's the opposite for everybody else except for the sand man.
Yeah, [ __ ] don't just sand man.
Yeah, I'll just stop. Nig- [ __ ] You got to make [ __ ] stop some [ __ ] You know what I'm saying? You know, if you leave them alone, And let me tell you something.
If we all approach life more calmly, everything would be great.
If the world were not so tense, men would notice that life is really beautiful.
For me, beauty is everywhere.
All right.
>> [laughter] >> All right. Now Now I believe Now I believe that dude was just on mushrooms or something.
We're about to meet a woman who in this village is revered and respected for her physical appearance.
In fact, she's the leader of the women and she agreed to meet with us.
So, we are about to enter her house.
>> [music] >> You have come all this way to know what beauty is.
And now you have the beauty of a woman in front of you.
Yikes.
Yikes. Yeah, that's uh Damn, and that [ __ ] is calm.
>> a [ __ ] She got She look like a [ __ ] Yeah. Yeah, that arm looks kind of short with the bigger ass.
face. You know how midgets be looking in the face, too?
And she got like a [ __ ] face. Here, being beautiful means having a natural skin tone, like like our ancestors without makeup.
But, what is never said is that for many of us, >> a [ __ ] That's a [ __ ] A little [ __ ] I don't know.
Our mothers crushed our wrists between two canes to force us to eat and drink until we became Their mother crushed their wrists between two canes.
That's probably why she That's probably why she looks like a [ __ ] Oc. drink until we became fat.
If a woman is not fat, so men don't even look at her.
They don't look at her at all.
A thin woman does not attract men.
Men want women with full figures.
The overweight woman is considered perfect.
That is what is called beautiful here.
But, we all know that beauty lies in our kindness and not in our appearance.
There are men who can see beyond appearance.
And they fall in love with the congeniality and kindness of us women.
Every woman is beautiful.
Regardless of whether they are fat, thin, beautiful, or ugly.
A woman's appearance is all in the eye of the beholder.
Before leaving Terjit, the women of the town invite us to see their greatest treasure.
The oasis, an age-old refuge for the nomadic peoples of the desert.
Oases offer water, food, shade, and shelter in the most inhospitable place on the planet. [music] And it is extremely fascinating to think that here palm trees and water, such normal things for us, are considered a true treasure, a rare beauty to be preserved.
And I think in this very banal reflection lies the answers I was seeking. Our concept of beauty is not real, but conditioned by the context in which we live.
Here in Mauritania, we discovered the practice of leblouh, so violent and so far from our concept of individual freedom.
While we, overwhelmed by the standards of beauty, They didn't even learn about it. Why we even talk to them about leblouh.
That [ __ ] ain't no joke, man. That That's the love of what I saw.
Um I don't know how you spell that [ __ ] But, yeah, um It's like, man.
It's like foie gras and [ __ ] You ever see foie gras?
No, I don't know if I've heard of it. It's like where they sell the geese the geese. They make the geese eat food.
They shove the food down the geese's throat.
No, I don't know if >> This is 11-year-old Mona.
She's about to be force-fed to make her fat.
Her friend Henda is joining her on a 9,000 calorie a day diet.
They're growing up in a desperately poor country that's going through a devastating drought.
But their moms believe fatter girls look wealthier and more beautiful, crucial when trying to attract a husband.
To join Mona and Henda, we're driving through Mauritania into the Sahara desert.
I'm soon put to work.
I hope I do a useful job.
They're preparing a special tent to force-feed the girls during the rainy season, which will last 2 months.
Food is more plentiful then, but families will go without to help the fattening process.
I would make a useless nomad.
>> [laughter] >> Yeah, no [ __ ] These nomads survive by keeping camels and goats. A married daughter means one less mouth to feed.
Mona of girls in poor communities marry before they're 15.
Why?
You don't think you're pretty now?
Mona and Henda agreed to let me weigh them.
Take your shoes off. To find out how healthy they are.
How heavy am I? 16.2.
But for her age, that's very normal.
Henda, stand straight.
53.
For Henda, she's also a healthy weight.
So, both girls are healthy weights for their age and [clears throat] their height. By the end of the feeding season, their parents hope they'll put on over a stone, over 7 kilos.
Mona's mom, Tahir, will be in charge of the feeding.
What are your biggest wishes and dreams for your daughter?
>> [clears throat] >> How would you feel if she never succeeds to get fat?
Everything is ready for the feeding to start the next month.
Got to get got to get that daughter married off.
Yeah.
But where are the women who just don't know how good they have it in the first world?
They'll never know.
It's just disgusting though, isn't it, man? Like Yeah. the way they talk about us American men as if we're like They're always dogging American men.
Anytime you speak to a Western woman or American woman they talk about us as if we're the worst as if they've endured the worst things in the world and they haven't endured any of them.
No.
Any of them. Men, oh body positivity.
Okay, [ __ ] If you want Listen, if you want to be thick, you can be thick. If you want to be skinny, you can be skinny. We don't care.
There's all men men here put up with anything out of women.
Everything.
There's no standard. There's no [ __ ] one standard that a woman has to be.
Yes, do I prefer certain thing? Do you prefer certain thing? But as a as a men in general, there's no thing that we force upon them.
Like you can get married. Like over there, you can't get married unless you're fat.
Mhm.
Over here, [ __ ] you can get married fat, skinny, whatever.
And we get dogged out, man. We get like when you when you hear other people talk about um American men, it's almost like we're Have you never heard women from other countries talk about American men, have you?
Um no, not really.
Their view of the view of us by foreigners is like barbarians, man.
Really? Yeah. The Oh, like oh, like barbarian like barbarian like we're like barbarians like what we we beat them We we we we we we we we we treat them bad.
We You know what I mean? We're Besides this [ __ ] We're the best men on the planet, man.
American men are the best men in the history of the world.
Yeah. You know what I've been hearing other the other countries talk down on? They've been just talking down on American people, period. Yeah.
You know, just saying that, you know, uh and like everybody is everybody's mentally ill and Yeah, that's all propaganda that they American women They They have a They sell us as on the world stage as something we're completely not. It's just like how like you would think like if you came over here like you couldn't go a day without seeing a [ __ ] like literally you and you with your eyes seeing a black [ __ ] shot by a cop.
You know what I'm saying? It's like the same [ __ ] like that. You know what I mean?
Yeah, but to be But But then again, you know, the UK women, they treat their men just as bad. Yeah, the Western women.
Yeah, so it's it's it's definitely a Western thing, you know. The better women have it, the more they talk [ __ ] about you.
Right.
That's how it is.
Day one. Let's see if we get some people to take the $5 challenge, man.

It's always It's going to fall on the man because especially, you know, I hate to like switch the subjects, but after seeing the the the collect I I didn't realize that Meg the Stallion had such an influence on, you know, the I guess I should have known, but what Beyoncé once had to the black girl, Meg the Stallion now has it. But these whole these a lot of these hoes are they're they're very stupid. And um you know, they say a lot of things that don't make sense, but the problem is is that you got a lot of dudes that try and meet them at that same level and argue with them.

I think it is the black people that I think it's black people that, you know.
So, it's like there's going to be a point where the man has to just be like I'm above this. I'm above reproach. I'm above reproach in this situation here.
Tahir is preparing the first meal of the day.
She's been a bellaha, a force-feeder, for years. But until now, she's never force-fed her own daughter.
Around a quarter of Mauritanian girls are force-fed.
But in rural areas, it can be as high as three quarters.
How long do they have to consume all of this? Is it all for today?
That's just breakfast.
What if you push her so hard that she ends up getting hurt?
What if what you want for isn't good for her.
He said we heard that doctors say cause disease, but it is what but it's what we do.
>> [laughter] >> As I was going to say though, like they they don't they don't care. If they got a tradition, they doing that [ __ ] The long-term health risks for the girls include diabetes, heart disease, and kidney failure.
They don't care.
Yeah.
Taher makes Mona and Hindu each drink a liter of sweetened camel's milk.
That's followed by porridge.
And then couscous.
It takes the girls [music] 2 hours to force down all the food.
This is just breakfast.
But each girl has already eaten about 3,000 calories, equivalent to 10 cheeseburgers.
Extra weight Equivalent to 10 cheeseburgers.
Jesus [clears throat] Christ. makes girls look older. That's Extra weight makes girls look older. As if they're fresh puberty.
Putting more pressure on Mona to marry young.
You want to get married?
No? Why not?
But your mom says that girls here should get married when they're 12, 13 years old.
>> [music] >> While lunch is cooking, the women introduce me to fashion, Mauritanian style.
>> [laughter] >> I'm getting a Mauritanian makeover.
>> [laughter] >> I've brought some magazines to find out what they think of other countries' ideas of beauty.
So, in here they put pictures of women that everybody wants to look like and dress like. What do you think about their body?
What do you think that where I come from women starve themselves and go on diets and make themselves throw up to lose weight?
Kim Kardashian.
She is meant to be She's very beautiful and she's very curvy. She's actually big.
So, you like Kim Kardashian?
Okay.
But Kim Kardashian is an exception. So, how about this woman?
Right now, she's considered one of the most beautiful women on the planet right now.
The women here insist men think fat is beautiful.
I wonder if that's true.
Abubakr is one of the group's leaders.
One personal question though. Am I Am I Am I fat or am I skinny? Like what do I have to do to look better?
It's lunchtime.
Mona and her friend Hindu are made to force down another 4,000 calories.
Each girl has now eaten the equivalent of more than 20 cheeseburgers.
>> [clears throat] >> Hindu's mom, Fatimatu, uses her stick to make sure the girls keep going.
How do you convince her to carry on?
If she refuses to eat, I will hold her tight and stop her seeing her friends.
If she is too strong, I will tie her up.
Do you not feel bad when you do this?
He said yes, but she'll get over it.
It's good for her.
>> [music] [music] >> Tie her up for days and Mona and Hindu's evening meal brings today's calorie count to a massive 9,000.
Almost twice what a heavyweight boxer eats.
And nearly five times the World Health Organization's recommendation for girls their age.
By the end of the feeding season, they'll be eating 16,000 calories a day.
Suddenly, the food has to be cleared away.
There's a massive sandstorm coming this way. And we have to take cover. We have We have We have to pack everything up.
Yeah, come on. GET IN THE CAR. Get in the car.
Oh my god.
The old The feeder, Saida, is expanding their stomachs with milk and couscous to permanently increase their appetites.
Is this for each each girl or do they share this?
>> [music] >> When the girls feel unwell, the feeder tells them to make themselves sick so they can keep eating.
>> [music] >> Watching the girls eat, I can see why this is often referred to as gavage, [music] the term used for force-feeding geese to make foie gras.
You okay? What's wrong?
Faraher.
Show me where it hurts.
Have you been sick?
Are you still going to make her do gavage?
Yeah, they don't See, they they over there they don't have rights. Like if you grow up and nobody has rights or nobody has You know what I mean? Like Oh, you're a person. You individual and [ __ ] You know what I mean?

Like not the God that we Not like we know. You know what I'm saying?
Is normal? Is she going to be okay?
He says it could be worse. This could go on for two or three more months. Or more.
This looks like child abuse, but no law specifically forbids it.
Fatimatu's dad Is she the sad bit?
Cuz I know how much I know how I feel when I eat too much.
And then know that like I just don't want I just won't eat anymore. You know what I mean?
>> Yeah.
But to know that you got to keep eating and eating and eating and eating and eating and eating.
And And then it's not even good food.
It's like disgusting food. Yeah, yeah.
Well, to them this might be good. You know what I mean?

Like as as if they were like beating them or, you know, cutting them or, you know what I mean? Or or, you know what I mean? It's It's everything's internal.
You know what I mean? Everything they're going through is internal.
>> [clears throat] >> [ __ ] is sad, man.
Abdullah tells me force-feeding is good for her.
Putting pressure on your body to look a certain way, especially for us women, is nothing new. I've done it. My girlfriends have done it.
But, what makes this quite different and a bit shocking is that these are little girls and this pain and torture, which could potentially have quite serious health issues, is being put on these girls by their parents.
>> [music] >> I rejoin Taya, who is preparing more food for her daughter Mona and her friend Hindu.
>> [music] >> But, Taya has a question for me.
The feeder just asked if we have any medication that could help her daughter gain more weight.
She says these empty bottles contain drugs that help girls get fat.
She's even used them herself to put on extra weight to keep attractive.
Where did you hear about this? Who told you about this?
The drugs come from the capital Nouakchott.
I head there.

Outside of a synagogue, the ran- A hate crime investigation is underway tonight after a Jewish man is attacked outside of a synagogue. The random attack caught >> Oh, son, man. Here's Carlos Suarez live in Hollywood, where he spoke to the victim about the terrifying assault.
Carlos.
Oh, not really.
It's It's usually a Jewish man setting it up.
Mike as sure this is the alley where the man was ambushed as he was leaving a synagogue. Now, it appears as though the suspect was following him for some time before making his move. And tonight, the LAPD tells me that they're investigating this incident as a hate crime.
He had me in a chokehold, whacked my head against the wall. An unprovoked attack on a Jewish man caught on camera as he was heading home from a Pico-Robertson synagogue. It was quite hurtful. I I No one should ever think that when you're just walking home, someone should should just pounce you like that. We are not showing the victim's face. The attack happened Monday night around 9:30 in the alleyway behind Adas Torah, a different synagogue. The 32-year-old first noticed a car slowly coming up from behind. And I just don't have this good feeling.
I make eye contact with him, try to make like, you know, we're cool face, is everything cool?
And he gave me the, you know, the we're cool face.
But then, he just jumped out of his car, all in Uh, see, his first mistake was looking at him.
>> [snorts] >> Mhm.
Why why would why would they do that?
I don't know. I think I think it's just best for a sun man just to keep your peripherals on them, but don't really acknowledge their presence, you know?
Pull out your phone. You know, me me as a sun man, you know, I might, you know, uh unless it's a group of them.
But but uh you know, if I was some if I was some some some some Jewish man or some glider, you know, I'm I'm not giving eye contact. I'm acting like he don't exist, you know? And but I'm still kind of just I'm still kind of just having to my eye. I'm like, I need uh you know, I don't know. Of course, you going to need some mace or something like that. Get them up off you.
pinning him against the wall, choking him, and then tossing him onto the ground. As the attacker walks back to his car, he allegedly yelled the following. He shouted, "Free Palestine." Like when the job was finished. Like, I'm done.
Okay. Okay. Now, I'm Now, you lost me.
Stupid [ __ ] probably would do some [ __ ] like that.
I mean, No, I No, you're right. I do think I do think uh You know what?
He didn't To be honest, the Now that I think about it, the sun man let him off easy.
Cuz he's We know how We know how crazy the suns can get. [ __ ] is dumb as [ __ ] [ __ ] worried about Palestine. We we We see so many [ __ ] worried about Palestine.
Who gives a [ __ ] about Palestine?
[ __ ] do. [ __ ] Gliders. The way I dress is pretty distinctively Jewish with my kippah, um my Jew hat. And if the man is saying free Palestine, I think we can assume it was anti-Semitic. LAPD responded and is investigating the attack as a hate crime. The vehicle is a gray Honda minivan with license plate 9LFP397.
The attack happened in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, which has left many in the area on edge.
>> Any religion, any race, no one should be afraid, worried, intimidated to walk out with pride for what they believe in, what values they hold, and what religion they practice. Nobody.
I mean, this arrest was promised to him 2,000 years ago. investigating the attack as a hate crime. Anyone with any information on the suspect is encouraged to contact police. Reporting live tonight in Pico-Robertson, Carlos Salcedo, KCAL9 News.

He'll He'll uh He'll He'll He'll get a free bond.
Uh the situation. I used the force I felt was appropriate and no more.
A Miller man says he had no choice when he stabbed an intruder who broke into his apartment.
>> His wife was on the phone with 911 reporting the man for an alleged assault in the parking lot below. Thanks for joining us. I'm Julie Cornell. I'm Bill Schermer. KETV News Watch 7's Aaron Hegarty is live at the Sarpy County Sheriff's Office with the couple's story. Aaron.
Yeah, Bill, Julie, the Sarpy County Sheriff's Office has not yet identified that alleged intruder, but they tell me he is still in the hospital tonight after he was stabbed at an apartment complex near 144th and Harrison.
Aaron Glaze says he woke up at around 5:00 a.m. Monday to screaming from the balcony. Glaze says he saw his neighbor on top of a woman. Him hitting her and either pulling her hair or shoving her violently. Sarpy County investigators say Glaze told him to stop.
>> I yelled like, "Hey, stop. You're on camera." And that he and his wife, Britney, called 911. The couple say the man threw a necklace at them first.
>> While I'm on the phone with dispatch, he's kicking our door in. I'm telling dispatch he is. And next thing you know, he's in our doorway. And I look, and he's pushing him out the door.
>> In the same mo- Quite the looker, huh? He He really lucked out, man.
Hey, I was about to say, that's a kind of That's a cute glider, you know?
Glider gliders.
She got a You know, look look, this is the happy glider family. These They got privilege. Look how much privilege they got. Heck, yeah.
She better be careful. He is pushing him out the door. In the same motion, Glaze says he stabbed the man with a knife he just grabbed from the counter. I didn't want to stab him.
It was the sheer fear for my daughter and and my wife. He says his 9-year-old daughter was in a bedroom sleeping. The door failed.
I couldn't fail. Glaze says he spent a day in handcuffs. Although he's no longer in custody, he says his wife and his daughter now live in fear that the neighbor or someone who knows him could return.
>> Our biggest concern right now is just moving and moving expenses. I bounced around with the thought in my head like, is this worth putting my family in jeopardy?
And then a few hours later, my dad called me and he's like, "Son, I'm proud of you." Glaze says he doesn't regret a thing. I don't think anybody will fault anybody for that.
I just hope it doesn't come to my family being in danger again.
Glaze tells me he's not perfect. He has a criminal history, but he and Britney recently started a handyman business together. He says they're short on cash, and that's why they recently launched an on online fundraiser to help raise money to move. Back to you. Split-second decision, Aaron. Thank you.
And that glider [music] needs to be Quit being so apologetic.
He was in your house.
You know, God. Oh, you over here feeling bad, huh? He was a sun man.
I mean, I think that's the reason why I feel so bad about it.
New tonight, prosecutors have charged a 16-year-old with murder in adult court more than a year after police say he shot a man. That's right. That victim died several months after the shooting.
Tonight, FOX 5 News Max Lewis tells us court records revealed this wasn't the first time the suspect pulled the trigger.
It was in April of last year that police were called out to this stretch of Temple Avenue and found 24-year-old Wilson Astrid shot laying in the middle of the street. Cops were able to track the shooting back to a 15-year-old member of a gang known as Project Baby Thuggin, but not before he allegedly went out and shot somebody. Project Baby Thuggin.
Yells.
I thought I misheard that. That second shooting happened here at the Phillips 66 at 25th and Sherman about a week after the Temple Avenue shooting.
Detectives say Richard Williams, who was 15 at the time, was captured on surveillance cameras pulling out two guns and firing at a sedan parked at one of the pumps. Witnesses gave cops a description, and they found him shortly after just up the road and took him into custody wearing a camouflage head wrap.
That's important because it's the same camouflage head wrap as the suspected shooter in the Temple Avenue case. After Williams' arrest in the gas station shooting, police began to connect the dots. Detectives found surveillance video of Williams and his accomplice walking near the home on Temple shortly before the shooting, as well as a photo posted online of Williams with a gun tucked below his arm.
But it was messages exchanged online that sealed the case. Court records revealing Williams asked a friend to lure the victim to Temple Avenue. Once there, police say Williams shot him and then stole his car, later dumping it in a nearby driveway. In August, 4 months later, um of 2025, almost to the day, that victim passes away, unfortunately, due to injuries sustained in that shooting. Despite the time difference, the coroner ruled his death a homicide.
Williams' case was elevated to murder and was finally waved to adult court this week. Why is a 15-year-old have a firearm and think it's just to go shoot a person because they want something from that person, a monetary gain?
That That's the disappointing part.
>> INPD spokesperson Tommy Thompson says the diligent work of their detectives and the arrest of this gang member should serve as a warning to others thinking of doing something similar. If you commit these crimes in our community, it does not matter how old you are.
We will find you and we will hold you accountable for your actions. We will not tolerate this recklessness, this reckless behavior within our community.
>> Williams is being held in the Marion County Jail. He's set to be arraigned on those charges tomorrow morning. On the east side, I'm Max Lewis, Fox 59 News.
Jeez.
Damn.
