Teen Sentenced to Life for Brutal Murder and Rape of Maryland Woman

BRUNSWICK, Md. — A Maryland teenager will spend the rest of his life in prison for the brutal murder and sexual assault of a 61-year-old woman in January 2024.

On Sept. 8, 2025, Frederick County prosecutors announced that 19-year-old Juwuan Stewart was sentenced to life plus 20 years after pleading guilty to first-degree murder and first-degree rape earlier this year. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.

According to court documents, Stewart attacked the victim inside her Brunswick apartment on Jan. 17, 2024. Earlier that day, he had offered to clear snow off her vehicle in exchange for money, but the woman declined his repeated requests. Days later, a family member discovered her body.

Police and medical examiners determined she died from multiple stab wounds and strangulation. Stewart’s discarded ankle monitor was recovered in his backyard, and DNA evidence tied him directly to the crime scene.

State’s Attorney Charlie Smith called the case “extremely egregious,” noting it would have qualified for the death penalty in the past. “The community needs to understand that some teenagers are capable of extremely brutal and horrific crimes and should be punished according to the crime, not just their age,” he said.

During sentencing, the victim’s daughter delivered an emotional statement describing how the crime shattered her family. “I will never be the same person after this life-altering event,” she told the court.

Stewart’s conviction closes a case that rocked the Brunswick community.

The incident occurred during the first stop of Kirk’s resumed “American Comeback Tour.” University officials issued a campus alert confirming that a single shot was fired at a visiting speaker, with the suspect taken into custody shortly afterward.

Fox News reported that Kirk, 31, was hospitalized following the shooting. His condition has not been officially released.

Reaction was swift from political leaders. Utah Senator Mike Lee urged prayers for Kirk and the students in attendance, while Vice President JD Vance described him as “a genuinely good guy and a young father.”

Just minutes before the incident, Kirk’s team posted on social media that Utah Valley University was “fired up and ready” for his tour’s opening event. The program, held in a public amphitheater, had already drawn debate on campus, with some students voicing opposition to his appearance.

Video circulating online captured the chaos as the shot rang out, sending dozens fleeing the area.

Kirk is widely known as a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump and for founding Turning Point USA, a group that promotes conservative causes on college campuses.

The investigation remains active, with no further details released about the suspect or motive.

Brandon Parker Accused of Shooting Ex-Girlfriend at Spartanburg Walmart

SPARTANBURG, SC – A 41-year-old man, Brandon Parker, has been arrested after allegedly shooting his ex-girlfriend multiple times in the parking lot of a Walmart on Dorman Centre Drive on the evening of September 9, 2025.

According to Spartanburg Police, the incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. when Parker reportedly opened fire on the woman as she drove through the lot. After being hit by the initial gunfire, the victim attempted to drive toward the front of the store for help. As she exited her vehicle, Parker allegedly fired additional shots, striking her again before fleeing the scene at high speed.

The woman suffered gunshot wounds to her back and leg and was transported to a nearby hospital. Her current condition has not been released.

Authorities initiated a multistate search and located Parker hours later in Kentucky, more than 300 miles away. He was taken into custody with assistance from Kentucky State Police and is now awaiting extradition to South Carolina.

Parker is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, domestic violence, breach of peace, and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle.

Witnesses at the scene described panic and confusion, with one shopper recalling hearing “five loud gunshots.” Police cordoned off the area and processed the scene through the night.

The motive behind the shooting remains under investigation. Anyone with additional information is urged to contact Spartanburg Police at 864-596-2065 or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Ontario Woman Pleads Guilty in Fake-Nurse Scheme That Put Patients at Risk

Barrie, ON – A 33-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to a series of fraud and impersonation charges after posing as a nurse in long-term care facilities across Simcoe County, earning more than $118,000 while endangering vulnerable patients.

Hailey Roberts entered guilty pleas to nine charges during a video court appearance from her lawyer’s office near the Barrie courthouse. Wearing black-rimmed glasses and a dark V-neck sweater, Roberts appeared against the backdrop of colorful paintings as Crown attorney Sarah Sullivan read an agreed statement of facts.

According to prosecutors, Roberts fabricated nursing credentials to secure jobs in multiple care homes and agencies. At one Midland facility, she worked for nearly a year and was even promoted to manager before suspicions arose. In other cases, red flags were raised within days.

The investigation began in 2023 when ParaMed Home Health Care in Barrie reported concerns to police. Each time employers requested proof of licensing, Roberts’ deception began to unravel.

The most troubling allegations involved Roberts administering medications without training. Court heard she gave antipsychotics to one elderly resident and provided insulin and flu shots to others, with patients ranging in age from their 60s to over 100.

Roberts also misled employers by using the surname Robertson, claiming she changed it to avoid an abusive ex-partner—a claim later proven false. Beyond her fake nursing scheme, Roberts pleaded guilty to two counts of assault for injections she administered and another charge of public mischief for giving police a friend’s name during a 2021 traffic stop, which led to her friend facing wrongful legal issues.

While no lasting harm to patients has been reported, prosecutors outlined a broader pattern of deceit, including staged illnesses, faked pregnancies, squatting, and financial fraud.

Roberts will return to court for sentencing at a later date.

Fatal Tractor-Trailer Crash Shuts Down I-85 in Franklin County

Franklin County, GA – A tragic accident Wednesday morning claimed the life of a tractor-trailer driver and brought traffic on Interstate 85 to a standstill for several hours.

At approximately 7:40 a.m. on September 10, 2025, Georgia State Patrol Post 52 troopers responded to reports of a serious one-vehicle crash along the southbound lanes of I-85 near mile marker 176.

According to SFC R. Camran Fleming, the preliminary investigation revealed that a yellow 2012 Volvo tractor-trailer was traveling in the right lane when it suddenly veered off the east shoulder of the highway. The truck struck a cable barrier with its left side before overturning onto its driver’s side. From there, it slid across the roadway, colliding with the west shoulder guardrail. The vehicle finally came to rest in the southbound lanes after rotating clockwise.

The driver, later identified as 44-year-old Reinaldo Negron of New Jersey, was tragically pronounced deceased at the scene. Officials reported that no other vehicles were involved in the crash.

Authorities temporarily withheld the driver’s identity until family in New Jersey could be notified.

As emergency responders worked the scene, I-85 Southbound remained closed for more than three hours. Crews are still working to clear the roadway and restore traffic flow.

The exact cause of the crash remains under investigation as troopers continue to piece together what led to the deadly incident.

Florida Woman Without Swimming Skills Saves 11-Year-Old Girl From Drowning

Fort Myers, FL – A Florida woman is being hailed as a hero after jumping into a lake to rescue 11-year-old Mia Garcia, despite not knowing how to swim herself.

The incident unfolded just after 10 a.m. Saturday, September 6, at Lakes Park in south Fort Myers. Mia had been collecting shells with her younger sister when she slipped into the lake. The shoreline was slick and slimy, making it impossible for the child to climb back out.

Panicked but quick-thinking, Mia began screaming for help — something her grandmother had taught her to do in emergencies. Those cries caught the attention of Bridgett Addison, who was nearby at a pavilion.

Without hesitation, Bridgett rushed toward the water. Though she had no swimming ability, she waded in, grabbed Mia, and pulled her to safety. Bridgett sustained minor injuries in the process but refused to stop until the girl was safe.

💬 “I don’t care who they are, what color, or what their disability is. If you can help somebody, you should,” Bridgett told reporters.

Thanks to her bravery, Mia escaped the terrifying ordeal unharmed, and the community is praising Bridgett’s selfless act of courage.
