St. Louis area homeowners stock up on sandbags as more rain hits the region
SUMMARY: As heavy rains continue to pummel the St. Louis area, residents are scrambling to protect their homes. Manuel Moore and his niece joined others collecting free sandbags from the Department of Highways and Transportation. With drains clogged by debris, flooding worsened in neighborhoods like Alvette, where Molina Jackson’s basement was inundated. In Ferguson, a man had to be rescued from high water under a bridge. Cold Water Creek remains a major concern. Elizabeth Redk, still shaken by recent tornado damage, also stocked up. To meet demand, new sandbag sites will open April 7 in Ellisville and on Kors Lane—bring your own shovel.
Some homeowners took advantage of free sandbags from the highway department, in an effort to avoid any flood damage to their homes. Additional pickup locations will be opening in the St. Louis area.

Kansas seeks death penalty in Wyandotte County deputy killing. Here’s how it works
SUMMARY: Shawn Harris faces capital murder charges for the July 26 shooting death of Wyandotte County Deputy Elijah Ming in Kansas City, Mo. The State of Kansas intends to seek the death penalty if Harris is convicted. Deputy Ming responded after a woman requested police help because Harris threatened her with a gun. Harris shot at the deputy and an officer, leading to a standoff before his surrender. Harris, with a lengthy criminal record, is held on \$2 million bond and represented by the Kansas Death Penalty Unit. Kansas reinstated the death penalty in 1994, but no executions have occurred since 1965.

Jail accused of altering records after lock-up turns fatal
SUMMARY: Angela Brown, 55, died in 2022 just two days after being arrested for shoplifting and held at the St. Louis County Jail. Her mother, Brenda Gray, alleges the jail covered up the circumstances surrounding Angela’s death, claiming officials falsified medical records and destroyed evidence. Angela was reportedly suffering from opiate withdrawal and requested an IV, which she never received. Jail staff later claimed she refused treatment, but patient refusal forms appear unsigned and were backdated before being sent to Brenda. The family is now suing the county to uncover the truth, with further court action expected soon.
