Brooklyn detectives are questioning a male relative of an 85-year-old woman who was found stabbed to death inside her home late Tuesday night. According to police sources, officers from the 79th Precinct were called to 638 Throop Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant minutes before 10 p.m. on Jan. 13. Cops say the victim's daughter made the grim discovery, finding her mother 85-year-old Julia Boomer with multiple stab wounds throughout her body.
The police involved shootings occurred within hours of each other. In Manhattan's West Village, NYPD officers shot and killed a 37-year-old man who reportedly pointed what appeared to be a firearm at them following a traffic-related incident. Police later confirmed the object was a realistic-looking air pistol. Earlier, officers fatally shot a man inside NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital after he allegedly barricaded himself with a sharp object, threatening staff and patients.
The 37-year-old Wilson said this week that he couldn't envision any scenario that he didn't play despite a career-low three starts and spending a majority of the season as the Giants third-string quarterback. "Yeah, I'm not blinking," Wilson said on Monday. "I know what I'm capable of. I think I showed that in Dallas. I want to do that again and just be ready to rock and roll and be as healthy as possible and be able to play ball."
This year's coaching carousel could reach epic levels, with John Harbaugh now officially out with the Baltimore Ravens and presumably on the market. It only took 48 hours for the NFL's two known head coach openings, the Giants and Titans, to climb to seven, and the movement of up-and-coming assistants and coordinators across the league will be seismic over the coming weeks.
The second-year tight end was shown on the scoreboard sitting courtside during the game, smiling and waving to the camera. He later reposted a picture taken and posted on social media by a New York Post reporter and responded, "I am not sick." The Giants said that Johnson is dealing with a non-contagious infection, not the flu or COVID, where being around other people would not be a risk.
We're almost at the finish line of the 2025 NFL regular season, making this our second-to-last NFL Power Rankings of the year. There was plenty of movement near the top of the list after both No. 1 seeds (the Rams and Broncos) lost in Week 16. Plus, the bottom of the list shuffled after dominant wins by the Saints and Titans.
That scholarship is rooted in his own experience as a Ugandan citizen of Indian origin who was twice rendered stateless due to political turmoil in East Africa during the 1970s and 80s. "We were migrants, and under the colonial system, migrants were defined as non-Indigenous," Mamdani said. That meant people like him were never made to feel fully at home in Uganda and were stripped of core rights.
***Once upon a time in the annals of New York National League baseball, Leo Durocher, then managing the Giants, pushed owner Horace Stoneham to purge his roster of its beloved mainstays for what Leo saw as a very practical reason: "It ain't my kind of team." If Leo had to wait around for balls to fly out of the Polo Grounds, there wasn't much managing for him to do. Soon after his midseason hiring in 1948, the transformation was on.
Jayden Daniels was supposedly healthy enough to go back into the game against the Minnesota Vikings despite taking a hard fall on his injured elbow. Just a few short days later, he was ruled out of the Washington Commanders' trip to the New York Giants in Week 15. It's unlikely that Daniels' issue has worsened, and he is still practicing in a limited capacity.
Olszewski was returning a kickoff late in the first half when he was first spun sideways by Marte Mapu, leaving him exposed to be hit by Elliss. There was no penalty because Olszewski was a ball carrier. Olszewski fumbled on the play and it was recovered by the Patriots. The hit was seemingly hard enough that it chipped the paint off his helmet decal.
A significant number of NFL fans fell for a fake report about New York Giants rookie Abdul Carter from a known parody account. Ahead of Monday night's game between the Giants and the New England Patriots, self-proclaimed insider Wesley Steinberg claimedthat Carter would be benched for the Giants' first defensive drive because he was caught watching porn in a team meeting when his headphones disconnected.
The city's beleaguered bus riders have languished at the bottom of the political food chain for decades forced to endure the city's slowest-in-the-nation buses as the political elite has prioritized the needs of drivers, businesses, app companies and, frankly, itself. Mamdani has promised to change that, but the history of transportation suggests it will be a struggle to get the people in charge to use their power to make the streets better for cyclists, pedestrians and bus riders.
Perhaps this latest fourth-quarter giveaway will be what the New York Giants need to see to fire defensive coordinator Shane Bowen. For a fifth time this season, Big Blue (2-10) lost a game in which they were leading in the final frame, which is the most in the NFL, after Jake Barnes' 59-yard field goal with 28 seconds left in regulation drew the Detroit Lions level at 27 apiece.
They love congestion pricing - and they're beefing over the Svengali of Gov. Kathy Hochul's congestion pricing "pause." Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and Brooklyn Council Member Chi Ossé turned their friendship into a defining image of Mamdani's mayoral campaign. The duo gained the support of street safety advocates across the city, given their support of congestion pricing, bike lanes, and other improvements. But the two politicians are on the outs after Mamdani discouraged Ossé from primarying House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who persuaded Hochul to indefinitely delay the long-awaited implementation of congestion pricing last year.
The Association of Legal Aid Attorneys-UAW Local 2325 currently represents the lawyers with Brooklyn Defender Services and claims that the organization's executive director Lisa Schreibersdorf wanted to bring in a more management-friendly union to represent staff. A union delegate alleged that Schreibersdorf offered her chairmanship of the new company union and a reduced workload without any loss of pay. The delegate filed a formal complaint with the National Labor Relations Board in September.
