A police detective says Tasia Fortune was apparently killed in a drug dispute before her body was hung in a tree in a “staged” lynching behind an abandoned home in the Mississippi capital this summer. Police Det. Samuel Dukes, citing the medical examiner's opinion, offered the testimony Friday during a hearing for the first of two men who have been arrested in the killing. Like Fortune, both defendants are Black. A third man turned himself in Friday. Fortune's hanging body was discovered on Aug. 3. The case has attracted widespread attention because it has recalled actual lynchings in the Southern state.

A Paris court has sentenced Loïk Le Priol to 26 years in jail for the murder of former Argentina rugby player Federico Martín Aramburú while Romain Bouvier was given 19 years in prison for attempted murder. Aramburú was killed in March 2022 after leaving a bar in Paris with a friend following a brawl with Le Priol and Bouvier. The Advocate General had earlier requested 27 years jail for Le Priol and 20 for Bouvier. They were cleared of premeditation. Lyson Rochemir, Le Priol’s girlfriend at the time, received a six-month jail term with a further 2 1/2-year suspended sentence for concealment and destroying evidence.

A new report on Charlie Kirk’s assassination last year says his Turning Point USA organization insisted he speak outdoors despite security concerns from officials at the university where he was killed. It also found that the university didn’t properly assess dangers, including the possibility of a rooftop shooter. Those were among the key findings in a report released Friday by Utah Valley University. The review assessed security procedures for the conservative activist's Sept. 10, 2025, appearance at the Orem, Utah, campus. Investigators examined planning conversations between Turning Point and university officials, and the university’s response to the shooting. Utah Valley said the review was done independently by outside consultants.
