SUMMARY: A recent gunfight reminiscent of a cowboy showdown occurred outside Crabtree Valley Mall, according to Wake County’s district attorney. Jaquez Brown is in custody after allegedly shooting into a car occupied by a 13 and 15-year-old during a gang altercation. The DA reported over 20 vehicles were struck in this shootout among rival gangs on what was supposed to be a calm Saturday afternoon. Remarkably, no injuries were reported, but the incident put local residents at risk. Brown’s bond was increased from $20,000 to $200,000, and he is scheduled for his next court appearance on November 18.

A 24-year-old charged in a weekend shooting inside a Crabtree Valley Mall parking deck faced a judge for the first time on Monday.

In court, Wake County Assistant District Attorney Matt Lively said Jaquez Brown, 24, is facing charges for shooting into a car with a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old inside. At least 20 cars were hit by bullets, he said, although no one was injured.

Lively said the Saturday afternoon shooting in the Macy’s parking deck was the result of a fight between rival gangs, describing it as a “cowboy-style gunfight.”

“He put the safety of all the residents of Wake County at great risk basically with a cowboy-style gunfight at Crabtree mall,” Lively described in court.

A judge on Monday increased Brown’s bond to $200,000 plus electronic monitoring.

On Saturday around 1:35 p.m., Raleigh police officers responded to multiple shots fired in the parking deck behind the mall on Creedmoor Road.

Police told WRAL News there were no reported injuries.

SUMMARY: Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty on two lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of more serious counts like racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, which could have resulted in life imprisonment. Despite the convictions, his attorneys called the verdict a victory. Combs remains in jail awaiting sentencing, as the judge denied bail citing a 2016 hotel surveillance video showing Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, evidencing a propensity for violence. Prosecutors expect a maximum sentence of five years, while defense seeks two years due to his clean record. Ventura, the key witness, accepted the verdict despite hoping for harsher charges.

Combs was found guilty on two counts, but acquitted of the most serious charges.

SUMMARY: Wednesday’s severe storms caused heavy rain, flooding, power outages, fallen trees, and multiple traffic crashes across the Triangle area. A tree fell on a family home in Ash Street, rendering it unsafe but fortunately causing no injuries. Rain and poor visibility contributed to crashes on I-87 and I-440, though no serious injuries were reported. Despite muddy conditions, the annual fireworks show in Wendell went on as planned, with attendees enjoying the celebration despite the wet weather. More rain is expected later this week, and residents are advised to monitor the WL weather app for updates on the forecast.

From flooding, to power outages, to fallen trees, we saw a little bit of everything.

SUMMARY: Kilmar Abrego Garcia was wrongfully deported in March to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison CECOT, where he suffered severe beatings, sleep deprivation, malnutrition, and psychological torture. His attorneys detailed abuses including being hit with batons, forced to kneel for hours, denied bathroom access, and threatened with gang violence. Abrego Garcia lost 31 pounds and endured overcrowded, harsh conditions with constant bright lights and minimal sanitation. Despite a Supreme Court ruling ordering his return, the Trump administration delayed repatriation, arguing he was under Salvadoran custody. Upon return, he faced federal charges, which his lawyers deny. The case raises legal and human rights concerns about U.S. deportation practices and State Department payments to El Salvador’s prison system.
