SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. (WESH) - Authorities in Florida said a 16-year-old stabbed another teen to death over the weekend.

The suspect allegedly showed up at the victim’s home unannounced during a sleepover.

“The 15-year-old child who lived there, good kid, got murdered,” neighbor Marcella Rizzuto said.

The basketball goal where Connor Gill practiced his shots sits at the end of the driveway of the mobile home where he lived with his family where he was stabbed to death by another teen.

Authorities released body camera video of the suspect’s arrest.

According to investigators, the attack was well planned and the 16-year-old suspect ordered his weapons of choice online.

“When the weapons arrived on Saturday, he unwrapped the weapons, played with them a little bit then he walked nearly six miles to the victim’s residence,” Sumter County Undersheriff Pat Breeden said.

Deputies said Saturday night the suspect knocked on the door and Connor opened it. The suspect then forced his way in and allegedly stabbed Connor and another member of Conner’s family.

The neighbors heard cries for help.

“She was screaming, ‘Help me please, help us,’” neighbor Christina Atkinson said.

Witnesses said the suspect bolted out of the home and ran across the street to hide. Neighbors said they believed he was hiding in the woods until law enforcement searched with K-9s.

The 16-year-old was eventually found but has not been publicly identified because he is a minor.

The man who was stabbed survived the attack and is in stable condition.

Neighbors remember Connor as a “respectful” young man.

“I watched him grow up playing in the neighborhood, always respectful towards the neighbors,” Rizzuto said.

The motive for the attack is not clear, but neighbors said the suspect knew the family well.

The 16-year-old is facing a host of charges including premeditated first-degree murder.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday unveiled plans to enact immediate significant restrictions on migrants seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border as the White House tries to neutralize immigration as a political liability ahead of the November elections.

The White House detailed the long-anticipated presidential proclamation signed by Biden, which would bar migrants from being granted asylum when U.S. officials deem that the southern border is overwhelmed. The Democratic president has contemplated unilateral action for months, especially after the collapse of a bipartisan border security deal in Congress that most Republican lawmakers rejected at the behest of Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

The order will go into effect when the number of border encounters between ports of entry hits 2,500 per day, according to senior administration officials. That means Biden’s order should go into effect immediately, because that figure is higher than the daily averages now. The restrictions would be in effect until two weeks after the daily encounter numbers are at or below 1,500 per day between ports of entry, under a seven-day average. Those figures were first reported by The Associated Press on Monday.

Once this order is in effect, migrants who arrive at the border but do not express fear of returning to their home countries will be subject to immediate removal from the United States, within a matter of days or even hours. Those migrants would face punishments that could include a five-year bar from reentering the U.S., as well as potential criminal prosecution.

Meanwhile, anyone who expresses that fear or intention to seek asylum will be screened by a U.S. asylum officer but at a higher standard than what is currently used. If they pass the screening, they can pursue more limited forms of humanitarian protection, including the U.N. Convention Against Torture.

Biden’s order was detailed by four senior administration officials who insisted on anonymity to describe the effort to reporters. The directive is coming when the number of migrants encountered at the border have been on a consistent decline since December, but senior administration officials nonetheless justified the order by arguing that the numbers are still too high and that the figures could spike in better weather, when the encounter numbers traditionally increase.

Yet many questions and complications remain about how Biden’s new directive would be implemented.

For instance, the Biden administration already has an agreement with Mexico in which Mexico agrees to accept up to 30,000 citizens a month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela once they are denied entry from the U.S., and senior administration officials say that will continue under this order. But it is unclear what happens to nationals of other countries who are denied under Biden’s directive.

Senior officials also acknowledged that the administration’s goal of deporting migrants quickly is complicated by insufficient funding from Congress to do so. The administration also faces certain legal constraints when it comes to detaining migrant families, although the administration said it would continue to abide by those obligations.

The legal authority being invoked by Biden comes under Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows a president to limit entries for certain migrants if it’s deemed “detrimental” to the national interest. Senior officials expressed confidence that they would be able to implement Biden’s order, despite threats from prominent legal groups to sue the administration over the directive.

“We intend to sue,” said Lee Gelernt, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union who successfully argued similar legal challenges under Trump. “A ban on asylum is illegal just as it was when Trump unsuccessfully tried it.”

The senior administration officials insisted that Biden’s proposal differs dramatically from that of Trump, who leaned on the same provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act that Biden is using, including his 2017 directive to bar citizens of Muslim-majority nations and his efforts in 2018 to clamp down on asylum.

For instance, Biden’s order outlines several groups of migrants who would be exempted due to humanitarian reasons, including victims of human trafficking, unaccompanied minors and those with severe medical emergencies.

Trump on Tuesday said on his social media account that Biden has “totally surrendered our Southern Border” and that the order was “all for show” ahead of their June 27 presidential debate.

The directive would also exempt migrants who arrive in what senior officials called an orderly fashion, which includes people who make appointments with border officials at ports of entry using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s CBP One app. About 1,450 appointments are made a day using the app, which launched last year.

Immigration advocates worried that Biden’s plan would only increase an already monthslong backlog of migrants waiting for an appointment through the app, especially when immigration authorities do not have an accompanying surge of funding.

It could also be difficult for border officials to implement the plan to quickly remove migrants when many agents are already tasked with helping in shelters and other humanitarian tasks, said Jennie Murray, the president of the National Immigration Forum.

“Customs and Border Protection cannot keep up with apprehensions as it is right now because they don’t have enough personnel so it would cause more disorder,” she said.

Average daily arrests for illegal crossings from Mexico were last below 2,500 in January 2021, the month that Biden took office. The last time the border encounters dipped to 1,500 a day was in July 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Congressional Republicans dismissed Biden’s order as nothing more than a “political stunt” meant to show toughened immigration enforcement ahead of the election.

“He tried to convince us all for all this time that there was no way he could possibly fix the mess,” GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson said at a news conference. “Remember that he engineered it.”

Biden said in January that he has “done all I can do” to control the border through his executive authority, but White House officials nonetheless telegraphed for months that the president would contemplate unilateral action. Democrats note that Biden waited for months in hopes of legislation rather than acting on his own, which can easily be reversed by his successor.

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that legislation would have been more effective, but “Republican intransigence has forced the president’s hand.

NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio (WOIO/Gray News) - The 3-year-old boy who was stabbed at the Giant Eagle Monday afternoon has died from his injuries, according to the Cuyahoga County medical examiner. He was identified as Julian Wood.

The stabbing happened in the parking lot of the grocery store in the 27200 block of Lorain Road just after 3 p.m.

The child’s mother was also stabbed.

North Olmsted police officers said they were given a description of the suspect when they arrived, and Capt. Eric Morgan said several officers took the suspect into custody, while other officers gave first aid to both victims.

Emergency medical services took Julian and his mother to St. John Medical Center. The boy died from his injuries. His mother’s condition has not been released.

North Olmsted police identified the suspect as Bionca Ellis, 32, of Cleveland.

“Our hearts go out to the two victims of what appears to be a random act of violence,” North Olmsted Mayor Nicole Dailey Jones wrote in a statement.

In a statement, Giant Eagle said, “We are aware of the reported incident and are working with the authorities. For the moment, they (the authorities) are the best source for information.”

This is the same Giant Eagle where a murder-suicide took place in June 2023.

According to court records, Ellis was charged in 2023 with stealing from the Walmart in North Olmsted and convicted of a reduced charge of unauthorized use of property.

LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - The arraignment for the man accused of a bank robbery is set for June 6.

According to court documents, Arturo Limon II entered the Falcon International Bank located at 10511 McPherson Road on April 27, 2024.

Limon allegedly approached the bank teller counter and handed the bank teller an empty green, camouflage bag and demanded the bank teller to put the money inside.

The total amount Limon obtained was approximately $19,508 in U.S. currency from two teller drawers.

Authorities reviewed the bank video surveillance which depicted a light-skinned man in his early to middle forties, bald with a gray beard, and with visible tattoos in his arms.

Through bank teller interviews, the documents state Limon allegedly passed the camouflage backpack and stated, “put the money in the bag.” After the bank teller opened the backpack Limon allegedly said to one of the tellers, “yes this is happening, put the money in the bag.” The witnesses and security footage did not witness a weapon on Limon. Additionally, Limon did not pass a demand note.

Nearly 3 hours later after the robbery, court documents state Limon entered a gun store. It’s said Limon provided $10,000 in U.S. currency for the firearm and then left the store without the backpack while background checks were completed.

The gun store employee told police Limon allegedly purchased raffle tickets for $600 U.S. currency for a firearm the Arena Gun Club was raffling off around 4:00 PM the same day.

Authorities were able to look up Limon and match him to a Facebook account.

Laredo Police obtained a search warrant and entered Limon’s home on Fasken Boulevard where they found money inside a vehicle that matched the vehicle used to escape after the robbery and the camouflage backpack where police located approximately $7,554.

Limon’s arraignment is set for June 6, 2024, at 10:15 a.m. before Magistrate Judge Christopher dos Santos in federal court.

He is facing four federal charges.

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — President Joe Biden today is announcing strict measures to close the border “immediately” because of high levels of illegal immigration, as well as stricter screening methods for those seeking asylum, senior administration officials confirmed Tuesday.

“With Congress failing to act, illegal crossings in our border remain too high for our systems effectively. In the face of this, President Biden will announce executive actions to foreign migrants who cross our southern border unlawfully from receiving asylum,” a senior administration official said.

The joint order to be issued by the Department of Homeland Security and Justice Department will shut down the Southwest border between legal ports of entry when illegal crossings exceed 2,500 for several days, and won’t reopen it until the average number of crossings drops below 1,500.

This also applies to southern coastal border areas, officials said.

Because of current levels of irregular immigration, the order will go into effect “immediately” after Biden makes the announcement today, a senior official told media.

“Today, the administration is taking decisive action designed to strengthen the security of our southern border and reduce unlawful migration,” an official said. “It will make it easier for immigration officials to remove those who are here unlawfully and reduce the burden on our Border Patrol agents.”

The change in asylum policies comes just five months before the presidential election and after repeated failures by lawmakers to pass the Senate Border Bill, which Biden has been touting since he visited South Texas on Feb. 29. The failed bill would have also allowed the closure of the border when numbers exceeded a certain amount. The bill also calls for hiring 100 additional immigration judges and thousands of additional asylum officers and Border Patrol agents.

Tuesday’s announcement is a joint order and the border won’t be reopened until 14 days after it has been determined that the daily average of border encounters between ports of entry has dropped below 1,500 for seven consecutive days, an official said.

“These measures will significantly increase the speed and the scope of consequences for those who cross unlawfully or without authorization and allow the departments to more quickly remove individuals who do not establish a legal basis to remain in the United States,” an official said.

Unaccompanied minors who cross the border will be exempt from immediate deportation.

Credible fear screenings will continue to be conducted for those who believe they meet the qualifications, and those who can prove they have an “imminent and extreme threat to life and safety” will be allowed to stay in the United States, an official said.

“Individuals who do not manifest a fear will be immediately removable, and we anticipate that we will be removing those individuals in a matter of days, if not hours,” an official said. “Individuals who do not manifest a fear will be processed as we always do under our Title 8 authorities through the expedited removal process.”

Other exceptions also apply including:

• Lawful permanent residents.

• Victims of “severe form of trafficking.”

• Those with “acute medical emergency.”

• Those with valid visas.

Asylum-seekers who have scheduled asylum appointments with the CBP One app will be allowed to cross at U.S. ports of entry for their meetings. U.S. Customs and Border Protection currently allows 1,400 daily asylum interviews scheduled via the app.

But those who cross the Rio Grande and do not enter at regulated CBP facilities will face immediate deportation to Mexico or their home countries.

This includes Chinese nationals, and administration officials say the United States has made strides with other countries to accept and repatriate their citizens, including India, Senegal and Uzbekistan.

It was not clear if Mexico has signed on to accept deportations, nor how many. There were repeated questions as to Mexico’s cooperation in this plan but no specifics were given.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Rapper and singer Sean Kingston is back in South Florida, where he and his mother are charged with committing more than a million dollars’ worth of fraud.

Kingston, 34, was booked into the Broward County jail on Sunday, according to jail records. He was arrested May 23 at Fort Irwin, an Army training base in California’s Mojave Desert where he was performing. Last week, he waived his right to fight extradition in a California court and agreed to be turned over to authorities in Florida.

Kingston’s mother, 61-year-old Janice Turner, was arrested the same day as her son, when a SWAT team raided his rented mansion in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Kingston and Turner have been charged with conducting an organized scheme to defraud, grand theft, identity theft and related crimes, according to arrest warrants released by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. The warrants allege they stole money, jewelry, a Cadillac Escalade and furniture.

The Jamaican American performer had a No. 1 hit with “Beautiful Girls” in 2007 and collaborated with Justin Bieber on the song “Eenie Meenie.”

Robert Rosenblatt, an attorney for Kingston and his mother, previously said they looked forward to addressing the charges in a Florida court and “are confident of a successful resolution.”

The warrants in the case say that from October to March they stole almost $500,000 in jewelry, more than $200,000 from Bank of America, $160,000 from the Escalade dealer, more than $100,000 from First Republic Bank and $86,000 from the maker of customized beds. Specifics were not given.

Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Anderson, was already serving a two-year probation sentence for trafficking stolen property.

His mother pleaded guilty in 2006 to bank fraud for stealing over $160,000 and served nearly 1.5 years in prison, according to federal court records.
