The prosecution's case against Estrada-Avalos was marred by inconsistent or at one point, admittedly dishonest testimony from the lone eyewitness, a woman who admitted she was driving when Estrada-Avalos and a group of people, including the victim, got into a shouting match that precipitated the shooting. The woman lied on the stand at Estrada-Avalos' preliminary hearing, claimed to have memory problems at key moments of the timeline,

NYPD officials said officers responded to a 911 call about a person shot around 10:45 a.m. Thursday inside a house on 108th Avenue near 173rd Street in Jamaica. When they arrived, the officers found 18-year-old Jonathan Adams with a gunshot wound to his head. First responders took Adams to Jamaica Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Lester is on lifetime parole after he was sentenced in 1998 to 25 years to life in prison for a series of robberies in New York City. He was convicted of two counts of robbery and one count of burglary. An appellate court panel, in a 2001 decision denying Lester's appeal, noted witnesses had not been willing to testify in court against Lester because he intimidated them in phone calls from Rikers Island. Instead, prosecutors read the witnesses' grand jury testimony in court.

Magnus Humphrey had known Maleesa Mooney only for a few days, but the Minnesota man had already become "obsessive" about the model, who lived in a downtown L.A. apartment. "That's my girl, that's my woman," he would say about Mooney during the five days they spent together in September 2023, according to her friend, Kiersten Dossett. The two were rarely "more than one foot apart," she said. Humphrey made comments about marrying Mooney, 31, who joined him at a family barbecue during their weeklong relationship.

Because many of his cases were sealed, it is unclear why Bohler remained free for years. His latest case came while he was already locked up at Rikers Island on the machete attack, when he was charged on Oct. 9 with hitting and killing pedestrian Lelawattie Narine, a cancer survivor who was out for a walk in Queens on March 22, 2024, when she was struck and killed.

In a court filing, attorneys for Mangione said the death penalty must be dismissed because it does not meet the legal threshold. Mangione's legal team is also arguing that evidence, including a gun and ammunition, allegedly found in a backpack Mangione was carrying when he was arrested at a Pennsylvania McDonald's should be suppressed at trial because the search occurred without a warrant. They further claim that Mangione, 27, was not read his rights before he was questioned by law enforcement officers.

"He then proceeded to stomp on the victim not once, not twice, but over and over and over again, even while the victim's body was totally limp," Assistant District Attorney Shena Aishnani said last week at the suspect's arraignment. "The victim was completely unconscious and yet the defendant continued to stomp on his body."

"The Staten Island teen accused of beheading his mom's boyfriend allegedly showed his little sister the mutilated body - then asked if she wanted their mother to live. "She said, 'Are you gonna hurt mom?' " the suspect's weeping mother, Alicia Zayas, said of her 16-year-old daughter Bri's encounter with her blood-soaked son, Damien Hurstel, in the Monday horror. "And he said, 'Do you want her to live?' "And she said, 'Yes, please.' "He said, 'Okay, she'll live.'"

The younger sister of the troubled teen accused of decapitating his mom's boyfriend returned to her Staten Island home after school Monday to find her brother drenched in blood - and he chillingly told her, "I did something bad, go to your room," sources said. The girl walked into the West Brighton home and followed blood trails to the bathroom, where she found the 45-year-old New York City sanitation worker in the tub with his head removed and a knife still in his head,

During opening statements on Monday in a Santa Ana courtroom, Senior Deputy District Attorney David Porter told an Orange County Superior Court jury that Nicholson, then 27, used a variety of knives and other blunt instruments to bludgeon and stab his mother and father to death, to do the same to Morse the next day. A day later he turned himself in, the prosecutor said, and claimed he carried out the killings in self-defense.
