Then, the victims told him to leave them alone and he intentionally grabbed both victims by their arms and proceeded to walk away with them toward the beach access exit which led to Collins Avenue, which is approximately 200 feet away. Upon hearing the cries of the victim’s family attempted to intervene. The defendant became belligerent and aggressive with them and was refusing to let them go.

PARIS (AP) — To hear tennis star Coco Gauff tell it, basketball star Jimmy Butler assured her his Miami Heat would make it to the NBA Finals before they were guaranteed of so much as participating in the playoffs.Before the French Open began, 2022 runner-up Gauff — who lives in South Florida and is an avid Heat fan, one who uses the pronoun “we” when talking about the team — mentioned that she had “a funny story about Jimmy Butler, but I’m going to save it” until Miami was done playing in the Eastern Conference finals.“I don’t want to jinx it,” she said. “I will save it for another day.”Following a comeback victory in her first-round match at Roland Garros on Tuesday, which was about 12 hours after the Heat beat the Boston Celtics 103-84 in Game 7 of the East finals, Gauff told the tale involving the guy known as “Jimmy Buckets.”Gauff, a 19-year-old who is ranked No. 6 in women’s tennis, said Butler offered her tickets to see the Heat’s last regular-season ga...Whitman police look to reunite lost Marine Corps ring with its owner

After Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins exited Monday’s loss to the Cleveland Guardians with a right abductor groin strain, Baltimore acted quickly to find a replacement.The Orioles announced Tuesday that they have signed former New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins outfielder Aaron Hicks and placed Mullins on the 10-day injured list. The Yankees released Hicks, 33, last week amid the fifth season of a seven-year, $70 million contract. New York is responsible for the remainder of that agreement; Baltimore will pay Hicks only a prorated portion of the major league minimum. He fills an opening on their 40-man roster, which is now full.In his 11th major league season, Hicks was hitting .188/.263/.261 with one home run when the Yankees elected to designate the switch-hitter for assignment, though he hit .353/.450/.647/1.097 in his last seven games with New York. By OPS+, Hicks has been a below-average major league hitter the past three seasons after rating above average each ye...Celtics’ Robert Williams played Game 7 with stomach virus, per report

The Celtics were healthy for the majority of the postseason, but they were hobbled at the worst possible time as they limped to the finish line.Jayson Tatum sprained his ankle on the first play of Game 7, and he was a shell of himself in Monday’s season-ending loss. Malcolm Brogdon suffered a forearm injury in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals and was ultimately a non-factor because of it. On Tuesday, it was revealed that Robert Williams also wasn’t 100 percent.The Celtics center played just 14 minutes in Game 7. Why? According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Williams had a stomach bug that he played through.“Robert Williams was throwing up during the game,” Charania said, via Stadium. “He only played 14 minutes last night. He was coming in and coming out of the game. When he came out, he would be throwing up. He was dealing with a stomach virus, stomach bug that he played through it. He was sick yesterday, he was sick going into today.”Mortgage rate lock: What it is and when to lock

David McMillin | Bankrate.com (TNS)If you’ve been comparing mortgage rates, you’ve already encountered one reality about the process of buying a home or refinancing: What you see today might be gone tomorrow. While interest rates change all the time, a mortgage rate lock ensures the rate on your mortgage stays the same, from the initial quote to closing.What is a mortgage rate lock?A rate lock is a guarantee that a mortgage lender will honor a specific interest rate at a specific cost for a set period.The benefit of a mortgage rate lock is that it protects you from market fluctuations. For example, if your lender locks in your rate at 5.68% for 45 days and rates jump up toward 6% within that period, you’ll still get your loan at the lesser rate.“Mortgage interest [rates] can change every day and sometimes even multiple times a day, so we always recommend that borrowers lock in their rate,” says Richard Greene, branch manager and loan officer at New Mexico Mortgage Company in Albuque...Defendant in Pittsburgh synagogue massacre carried out attack, defense acknowledges as trial begins

PITTSBURGH — The trial of the man charged in the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history opened Tuesday with his own lawyer acknowledging that he planned and carried out the 2018 massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue and made hateful statements about Jewish people.Robert Bowers went to Tree of Life synagogue and “shot every person he saw,” defense attorney Judy Clarke acknowledged in her opening statement.Bowers, 50, could face the death penalty if he’s convicted of some of the 63 counts he faces in the Oct. 27, 2018, attack, which claimed the lives of 11 worshippers from three congregations who shared the building. Charges include 11 counts each of obstruction of free exercise of religion resulting in death and hate crimes resulting in death.In the long run-up to the trial, Bowers’ lawyers did little to cast doubt on whether he was the gunman and instead focused on trying to save his life.

By SCOTT McFETRIDGE and HANNAH FINGERHUT (Associated Press)DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Five Iowa residents remain unaccounted for, including two people whose remains may be in a pile of rubble at the site of a partially collapsed apartment building, officials in the city of Davenport said Tuesday.Mayor Mike Matson confirmed the numbers at a news conference following criticism that the city was moving too quickly toward demolishing the building, which partially collapsed Sunday afternoon. The 116-year-old brick and steel structure, built as a hotel, had more recently been used as apartments, and tenants had been allowed to remain even as bricks began falling from the building.After the partial collapse, the city had announced plans to begin demolishing the building as early as Tuesday morning, but they delayed after a woman was found Monday evening.Officials now say immediate demolition was never intended, but they did want to quickly stage the site for the tear-down.
