Zaakir McClendon arrested nearly 3 years after fatal shooting near Roxborough High School football field
Nearly three years later, Philadelphia police have arrested a sixth suspect in the 2022 shooting that killed 14-year-old Roxborough High School student Nicolas Elizalde and injured four other people. Zaakir McClendon, 20, has been arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder and other offenses, officers said in a news release. McClendon had already been arrested on murder charges for an unrelated fatal shooting that occurred in April 2023 in North Philadelphia. The Roxborough shooting happened after school on Sept. 27, 2022, near the school's football field. Police said Elizalde and others were leaving a football scrimmage and walking on the 300 block of Fairway Terrace when an SUV pulled up alongside them — then five people got out and opened fire. Police have said Elizalde wasn't the intended target, but the motive isn't clear. The four others, all teenagers, had a range of gunshot injuries - some had graze wounds while others had more serious leg and arm injuries. Five other suspects have been arrested for the shooting, and two suspects — Troy Fletcher and Zyhied Jones — pleaded guilty. Jones was sentenced to 30 to 60 in prison. Police said ballistic evidence showed multiple people's DNA on the bullet casings found at the scene. While the others' DNA was later identified, the evidence contained one DNA profile that stayed unknown until May 2025, when the CODIS database linked the unknown profile to McClendon. McClendon's phone records showed he was in "frequent contact around the time of the murder with at least two individuals already charged in the case," and that "additional communications suggested a possible motive." Within a year of the shooting, Roxborough High School added 287 new cameras and additional safety staff for after-school events. Federal investigators later alleged that a deputy in the Philadelphia Sheriff's Office had sold two of the guns used in the shooting. The former deputy Samir Ahmad, was suspended and dismissed days after selling guns to an undercover FBI agent in a sting operation. This is a developing story and will be updated.

Verdict for Brazil's Bolsonaro set for early September
A verdict and sentence in the coup trial against former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro will be delivered early next month, the country's Supreme Court announced. The court said the five-justice panel that heard the right-wing leader's case will deliver verdicts and sentences on the five counts against him from September 2 to 12. Bolsonaro, who has drawn the strong support of US President Donald Trump and who remains under house arrest, is accused of leading a conspiracy to stay in office after his narrow election defeat in 2022 to current President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing. Prosecutors say Bolsonaro and several of his allies headed a criminal organisation that plotted to overturn the election, including plans to kill Mr Lula and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing the criminal case. Prosecutors have presented message exchanges, handwritten notes and other evidence allegedly detailing the plot. Defence lawyers have argued that no coup went forward and that Bolsonaro allowed the presidential transition to Mr Lula to take place, undermining any allegations that he tried to thwart that process. There are two five-justice panels at Brazil's top court, and Justice de Moraes brought the case to the one he sits on. Bolsonaro, who governed from 2019 to 2022, appointed two members of the court, but both sit on the other panel. There are five counts against Bolsonaro issued by the country's prosecutor-general: attempting to stage a coup, involvement in an armed criminal organisation, attempted violent abolition of the democratic rule of law and two counts involving destruction of state property. The prosecution finished presenting its case in July and the defence wrapped up its arguments this week. Bolsonaro's trial has gripped a sharply divided Brazilian public. It received even more attention after Mr Trump directly tied a 50% tariff on imported Brazilian goods to his ally's judicial situation. The US president has called the proceedings a 'witch hunt' against a political opponent, triggering nationalist reactions from many Brazilian politicians.
