The three people found dead in a Springfield home last month after a double murder-suicide have been identified, prosecutors announced Monday. Springfield police responded to the 1400 block of State Street the morning of Nov. 25 to a report of a stabbing, spokesperson Ryan Walsh said previously. Two men and a woman were found dead inside. Khamkieo Chingvacha, 67, and Sachivanh Promphanh, 47, were identified as the two victims, Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said Monday.

The story of a Thursday afternoon stabbing of a social worker at SF General Hospital took a much darker turn early Saturday night when we learned that the social worker died from his stabbing injuries. We now know the stabbing victim was 51-year-old hospital social worker Alberto Rangel, and the suspect in the stabbing, 34-year-old Wilfredo Tortolero Arriechi of San Francisco, has been taken into custody on murder and other charges.

Police responded just after midnight Sunday to a report of a suspicious vehicle on the 1300 block of Seaport Boulevard reported by a security guard, according to a press release from the Redwood City Police Department. When officers arrived, they found a man in the driver's seat and a woman in the passenger seat of the vehicle, each with a gunshot wound to the head and unconscious, authorities said.

"If you want to play hide and seek, know that we will find you, no matter what country you cower in," Police Chief Paul Joseph said in a statement. "Our relentless pursuit of dangerous and violent suspects is not defined by borders. There is no place on Earth a murderer can hide from San José Police."

The woman shared the information, not with police but instead with one of Creech's loved ones, who turned it over to investigators. Padilla-Maciel was a suspect but stayed out of jail until 2023, after police spoke to eyewitnesses and matched a spent shell casing in Padilla-Maciel's bedroom to the homicide scene. That year, Padilla-Maciel was arrested at the southern border, while returning to the United States from Mexico, according to police.

We are grateful for the help we have already received from the local community and while we are not looking for anyone else in relation to this matter, I would encourage those who have not yet spoken to police to come forward as soon as possible.

Officers initially responded to a hospital on Nov. 7 where the toddler was unresponsive with signs of severe trauma, police said. She was put on life support and died three days later. Her identity is being withheld. Over the course of a two-week investigation, homicide detectives determined that the toddler had been a victim of ongoing abuse and that her death was a direct result of abuse from her father and stepmother, police said.

A 13-year-old girl was taken into custody over the weekend after fatally shooting a 16-year-old boy in Pomona, police said. On Sunday around 5:22 p.m., officers from the Pomona Police Department responded to a report of a shooting in the 1300 block of East Pasadena Avenue, where they found a 16-year-old boy suffering from a gunshot wound, police said. The Los Angeles County Fire Department arrived and pronounced him dead at the scene.

Prosecutors said the September 2022 shooting began with an argument between Walker - identified as a member of the FNO Woo street gang - another masked individual, and Smith, whom Walker believed was affiliated with a rival gang. Smith had been sitting on a bench in McLaughlin Park near Tillary Street and Jay Street around 1:40 p.m. The 15-year-old, a student at nearby Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School, was approached by Walker, and the two exchanged brief words before Walker shot Smith once in the stomach, prosecutors said. The teen was rushed to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, officials said.

The Thunder Bay Police Service (TBPS) said officers responded to a 911 call in the 300 block of Edward Street North shortly after 4 p.m. on Oct. 14.

The suspect and witnesses had left the scene more than 24 hours before police were called, the TBPS said in a news release issued Saturday afternoon.

A 22-year-old woman was killed in a shooting in Northridge overnight, police said. The Los Angeles Police Department received a call at around 1:40 a.m. Saturday to Bryant Street and Tampa Avenue near the Northridge Fashion Center.

Aguilar said she did not have information available on whether the two others in the car were injured.

A man was fatally stabbed Wednesday at a Brooklyn public housing building that houses a community center, according to NYPD officials. Officers found 48-year-old Kevin Coleman with multiple stab wounds at NYCHA's Langston Hughes Apartments in Brownsville around 5:30 p.m., officials said. The residential building contains a gathering space for seniors and other neighbors, according to the housing authority. First responders took Coleman to Brookdale Hospital in critical condition and he was later pronounced dead.

The attack was witnessed by passers-by and others at the Josie de la Cruz Park at 1637 Fruitvale Ave. Authorities say a little after 3 p.m., one of the two suspects argued with Mejia-Lemus, then retrieved two bats from a nearby homeless encampment where they lived. One of the suspects was seen with a machete, according to police testimony.

The decomposed body of Rivas, 15, was found in September in the front trunk of a black Tesla registered to D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. The car had been ticketed in a Hollywood Hills neighborhood and then impounded in a tow yard in Los Angeles. Rivas likely died in the spring, police told NBC4 Investigates, adding that D4vd had likely helped in dismembering and disposing of the body.

Risher on a single murder charge and a slew of sentencing enhancements that could leave him imprisoned for life, if convicted a trial.
