CLEVELAND — The suspect accused of killing a 3-year-old boy outside a grocery store in North Olmsted told police three months ago that she had killed a woman in California, and she said she would kill again, according to court records. However, Bionca Ellis remained free to roam the streets and the country. Also, traveling to Florida. The Fox 8 I-TEAM uncovered chilling information about Ellis, who is accused of stabbing and killing 3-year-old Julian Wood on June 3. North Olmsted Police have said Ellis attacked the child and his mother in the Giant Eagle parking lot. Julian’s mother survived....

The “main player” in the Bronx drug mill that posed as a daycare center — and eventually led to a toddler’s death from fentanyl poisoning — has taken a plea deal that will likely put him behind bars for decades, federal prosecutors announced Monday. Felix Herrera Garcia was initially hit with a federal charge of conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death after four kids under the age of three were poisoned by the drugs he and his compatriots were dealing at Divino Niño Daycare in Kingsbridge. One of the kids — 1-year-old Nicholas Feliz Dominici — died last September...

Two suspects wanted for allegedly brutally beating and mugging a tourist outside a Times Square hotel are believed to be migrants who’d been living in shelters, police sources said. The two are wanted for attacking the 44-year-old Indiana man outside the four-star Club Quarters Hotel on West 45th Street just before 2:30 a.m. May 10, according to police appeals and sources. They allegedly punched and kicked the tourist during the savage attack. The suspects fled on foot after snatching the victim’s phone and wallet, police said.

Jackson, Wyo. — A large chunk of a twisting mountain pass road collapsed in Wyoming, authorities said Saturday, leaving a gaping chasm in the highway and severing a well-traveled commuter link between small towns in eastern Idaho and the tourist destination of Jackson. Aerial photos and drone video of the collapse show the Teton Pass road riven with deep cracks, and a big section of the pavement disappeared altogether. Part of the guardrail dangled into the void, and orange traffic drums marked off the danger area. The road was closed at the time of the collapse.

Incredible footage has been released of the moment a sheriff's sniper killed a suspect by shooting directly through a computer monitor. Sterling Ramon Alavache was holding two Bank of America workers in Florida at knifepoint while claiming to have a bomb. Officers had already tried to get the would-be bank robber to surrender but instead Alavache decided instead to take two hostages. The 36-year-old then put one of them in a headlock and held a knife to her throat - and that's when a SWAT team's sheriff's sniper decided to end the siege. With remarkable precision, the bullet was fired...

Don’t see the Hunter Biden gun case as an effort to hold the president’s prodigal son to account, but as a political maneuver aimed at protecting the prosecutors, perhaps the defendant, and certainly his father. This sideshow diverts the public’s gaze from far larger corruption: Felony gun charges are piddling when weighed against the selling out of our country, not to mention the leverage Hunter’s dubious dealings and debauchery might have provided our enemies in the way of kompromat. Yes, it features many “shiny objects,” some juicy, and others genuinely newsworthy, from the riveting trainwreck that was Hunter Biden’s life...

Gov. Kathy Hochul scuttled the congestion toll to enter Midtown because she believes too many people are afraid to take the subway so they drive in instead, ex-Gov. David Paterson said Sunday. “What she told me in a private conversation was she just thought about people who were afraid to ride the subways, so they drive their old car over the bridge, and they have to pay all this money,” Paterson said on 77 WABC radios’s “The Cats Roundtable.” “She was thinking really of individuals who would be affected. “Hochul realized that some of the problems that the antagonists to...

Merrick Garland is no “by-the-book” attorney general. Even now, Garland is refusing to hand over audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interviews with former special counsel Robert Hur over the president’s hoarding of classified documents, despite a congressional subpoena. As the Department of Justice stonewalls Congress, it is also prosecuting the Republican Party’s presidential candidate for the very crimes the Hur tape supposedly “exonerates” Biden from. Considering the Hur transcript has already been released — and we know that Biden lied about it — there is even less justification for withholding the audio. And considering the DOJ has apparently cleaned...

A Brooklyn immigrant’s $4 million nest egg is off-limits when she needs it most during her final years because of ineffective court-appointed guardians, her family contends. Aleksandra Chodowiec, 93, arrived in the U.S. from her native Wroclaw in western Poland by herself in 1973 at the age of 43. She worked two jobs, in an envelope factory and cleaning Manhattan offices. In just two years, the industrious Chodowiec saved enough dough to purchase what should have been a golden ticket: a five-story rental building with eight apartments and two commercial units in Greenpoint.

Assembly Member Emily Gallagher (D-Brooklyn) hates cars — except her own. The upstate-transplant socialist and “safe streets” lover has notched at least 46 (!!!) tickets these past 2½ years, for a total of more than $4,000. Turns out the white Buick of this tatted tribune of the people was caught illegally blocking fire hydrants.. Power to the workers! Unless their building’s on fire, in which case: Screw ’em. Far worse, the Rochester-reared revolutionary’s car has ripped through at least one red light — in The Bronx, a borough that’s almost 90% people of color. Guess black lives DON’T matter when...

Gov. Kathy Hochul is pushing a New York City tax hike to replace the $15 congestion pricing tolls she indefinitely postponed — a last-minute funding Hail Mary that drew fierce opposition Thursday. Lawmakers and business groups slammed the prospect of a tax increase, especially after Hochul scuttled congestion pricing Wednesday because it would “break the budget” for the working class. “Proposing another tax is an insulting joke that will only exacerbate the affordability crisis that Gov. Hochul pointed to as her reason for killing congestion pricing,” Assemblyman Matt Slater (R-Putnam) told The Post. “The combination of corporate income, payroll and...

More than half a million voters in the Democratic presidential primaries have voted 'uncommitted' rather than cast ballots for President Biden in a move that sets of alarms for the president ahead of what is expected to be an extremely close general election. The movement to get Democrats to vote 'uncommitted' will send at least 36 'uncommitted' delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August from nine states so far, according to tracking by the Associated Press. On Tuesday, New Jersey voters chose to send one uncommitted delegate to the convention from their primary. More than 42,000 voters...

A social media post made by Hillary Clinton to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day has been branded as 'sick and disgusting'. The Democrat, who ran against Donald Trump for the presidency in 2016, compared the fight against Nazi Germany to voting against Trump in November. The Democrat, who ran against Donald Trump for the presidency in 2016, compared the fight against Nazi Germany to voting against Trump in November. One user posted: ‘Just pure evil. Comparing the sacrifices of those who died to defeat Hitler and retake Europe to Democrats voting against Donald Trump. Sick and disgusting.’ While conservative...

A small pizza shop in Ohio was pranked into baking a lot of pizzas only to realize that the customer who called in the order never intended to pick them up or pay the huge bill. Thankfully, another small business owner, who heard about the prank, stepped in and offered to foot the bill. Rocky Keefer, manager of PizzAroma's Maumee location, said a woman called earlier this month to place a timed order of 16 large pizzas, eight cheeses and eight pepperonis, to be picked up the following day. Keefer said there was nothing alarming about the order as the...

A shopping trip for customers at Tanger Outlets Nashville went wrong after a group of robbers broke into a perfume store. A TikTok user (@ptodropout) posted a video obtained by WSMV4 of four individuals robbing Perfumania at the Antioch outlets on June 2. One security guard and multiple shoppers held the door shut while the incident was taking place and trapped the thieves inside while they waited for police. But the robbers were able to escape by smashing their way through a back door before the cops could arrive. Preston, the TikToker's son and one of the witnesses, told WSMV4...

A video of an angry pro-abortion woman attacking a pro-life advocate has gone viral, racking up millions of views on X (formerly known as Twitter). The full encounter was posted on YouTube; in it, a woman stops two pro-life activists — one, a man, holding a sign, and the other, a woman, filming him — and asks if he knows there are people getting air-lifted into Oregon from Idaho for “life-saving” abortions, arguing that “any day now” a woman is going to bleed out in a helicopter due to Idaho’s pro-life laws protecting preborn children from abortion. The woman, who...

Nathan Baskind was killed in action shortly after D-Day. A year-long investigation found his remains and ensured his reinterment under a Star of DavidBy Andrew Lapin June 6, 2024 Growing up, Samantha Baskind’s father would sometimes mention his “Uncle Nate,” who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. He called Nate “a great Jewish American war hero,” often just around Memorial Day, Baskind recalled. “He would always use that exact same phrase.” There’s a family picture of Nate in his mid-twenties, just before shipping off to war, holding Baskind’s father as a toddler. But the family knew nothing of his...
