Officials in Akron, Ohio, have fired a police officer who shot and killed 15-year-old boy while also announcing Friday that the city has agreed to pay $4.75 million to the teen’s family. The settlement, which still needs a judge’s approval, came after the family filed a lawsuit against the city. Police have said that Jazmir Tucker was carrying a loaded weapon when he was shot in November 2024. They said two officers heard gunshots, later spotted Tucker and ran after him before one fired multiple times. Akron Mayor Shammas Malik said Officer Davon Fields was fired for multiple policy violations,…

The threat of flooding shifted east into West Virginia and Kentucky on Monday as Indiana began recovering from storms that killed at least six people and produced some of the state’s worst deluges in decades. Flood warnings and watches covered eastern Kentucky and much of West Virginia. “Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible,” the National Weather Service said, including around Beckley and Charleston, the West Virginia capital. There’s a 40% chance of excessive rainfall across much of West Virginia on Monday, according to the US Weather Prediction Center. The threat is particularly strong in mountainous areas,…

Amazon on Friday reinstated binding arbitration for its U.S. customers while also barring them from seeking class-action lawsuits, making it more difficult for users to address grievances in court. In emails on Friday, Amazon said the changes are effective immediately and customers agree to the terms by continuing to use the company’s services. Often, companies alert customers to upcoming changes to their terms of service weeks in advance. Previously, Amazon said customers should pursue legal claims in court in Washington state, where Amazon is based. Five years ago, Amazon revoked binding arbitration after facing tens of thousands of costly individual…

The train was sitting just outside a depot in Memphis when the bandits made their move. Emerging from a black Kia Soul under the cover of darkness, the three men clambered on top of CSX Corp. railcars.

Bill DeLind thought the Picasso print that was stolen from his Milwaukee gallery in 2018 was gone forever. But then police called last week and asked him to look an artwork that a local landlord found while cleaning out a vacant apartment. DeLind immediately recognized the stolen “Torero” print, one of 30 known to exist signed by Picasso. “I was overwhelmed,” DeLind said Friday. “I was at a loss for words. It was an overwhelming moment for me.” The sticker from his DeLind Fine Art Appraisals was still on the back of the framed print, just as it had been…

The artificial-intelligence industry’s political machines battling each other over how to regulate the technology are trying a new tactic in Florida after fighting in primary elections across the US: joining together to make multimillion-dollar bets on the same candidate. Two groups funded by feuding AI billionaires and their allies have each already spent more than $2 million on ads boosting US Representative Byron Donalds’ campaign for Florida governor, according to ad analytics firm AdImpact. The Republican is the leading candidate in both the party primary on Tuesday and the general election in November. That means Donalds is well-positioned to become…

Authorities are searching for a trio of modern tomb raiders that they say has stolen family heirlooms and other valuables from cemeteries in at least nine states. The suspects — a mother and daughter, and the daughter’s boyfriend — “went on a tour of the eastern half of the United States,” breaking into niches and mausoleums, said Corporal Cole Brazee of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Florida. Officers have arrest warrants out for Porsche Bancroft, 32, her boyfriend, Drake Lee Milam, 33, and her mother, Angela Garrett, 52. All three are from Indianapolis, Brazee said in a video shared…

The US Supreme Court for a second time rejected President Donald Trump’s request to overturn a jury finding that he sexually abused and defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll. The rebuff leaves intact a $5 million award that Carroll collected after the high court’s June 29 refusal to take up Trump’s appeal. The president had asked the court to take the unusual step of changing its mind on hearing his arguments in the case. Trump is separately asking the court to consider overturning an $83.3 million jury verdict Carroll won in a second defamation suit against him. The court will…

Indiana authorities said at least five people have died as a result of severe storms and flooding across the state this week, as first responders used boats to rescue more people Saturday from rising waters in neighborhoods along the White River in Indianapolis. The state has been hammered over the past week by heavy rains, resulting in rivers reaching record levels and sending residents in search of higher ground. More than a dozen counties have declared local disasters, with much of the latest damage concentrated along river corridors from Hamilton County heading into the northern Indianapolis suburbs. President Donald Trump…
