French police officer to go on trial for murder of teenager
French police officer to go on trial for murder of teenager PARIS - A French police officer charged with murder in the deadly shooting of a teenager in 2023 that sparked violent protests across the country will go on trial next year, the Nanterre prosecutor's office said on Tuesday. In March, prosecutors requested that one of two officers investigated over the June 27 shooting of 17-year-old Nahel M. in the Paris suburb of Nanterre be put on trial. A charge of complicity in murder against the other officer was dropped. Investigating judges on Tuesday decided the trial of the officer, identified as Florian M, should take place in the Assize Court of the Hauts-de-Seine. Depending on whether there are appeals, the trial could take place in the second or the third quarter 2026, the statement from the Nanterre prosecutor's office said. Neither the policeman's lawyer, nor the lawyer for Nahel's family could be immediately reached for comment. The police officer fired at Nahel after the latter failed to comply with an order to stop his car. The boy, of North African descent, later died from his wounds. A video shared on social media, verified by Reuters, showed two police officers beside the car, a Mercedes-AMG, with one firing his weapon as the driver pulled away. Nahel's death and the video were shared on social media, drawing widespread anger and provoking several nights of unrest in Nanterre and other cities across France.

Ashlee Long: Family of Glamorous Real Estate Agent Shot Dead During Clash Over Mercedes on Dallas Street Shown Chilling Footage of Murder
The relatives of a Texas real estate agent who was fatally shot in the street after a confrontation with a stranger have been shown disturbing video footage capturing the chilling moment she was killed. Ashlee Long, 28, was shot dead on April 5 while she was visiting Dallas for a work-related conference. She was downtown with her boyfriend around 2:30 a.m. when the friend touched a passing white Mercedes, prompting the driver to stop on the street. The driver, Kendrick Finch, immediately got out of the vehicle holding a 9mm handgun. Chilling video shows William Kistler, 36, who was with Long, reaching for her purse, where his firearm was kept.

At that moment, Finch opened fire on the two of them in the middle of a busy street lined with stores, restaurants, and apartments, hitting Long. Long was killed and Kistler was wounded after prosecutors alleged that Finch, 34, opened fire on the couple during a violent incident in Downtown Dallas on April 5. Kistler managed to fire three rounds from his weapon but was also shot and later taken to the hospital, while Finch fled the scene. According to local outlet Fox 4, Finch called police a few hours later and admitted to being the shooter, but he didn't surrender to authorities until April 18. Several members of Long's family, who attended Finch's bond reduction hearing wearing shirts bearing her name, were asked to leave the courtroom before the graphic footage was played. Finch's attorney claimed that his client was acting in self-defense during Wednesday's hearing. "When the car stopped, what was Mr. Kistler doing before my client got out of the car?" Josh Healy, Finch's defense attorney, asked the lead homicide detective in the case, Ronald Kramer. "He was wrestling with Ms. Long in the middle of the street," Detective Kramer replied. "Trying to get the gun!" Healy said. "I can tell you Mr Finch's gun was pointed in Mr. Kistler and Ms. Long's direction, and she had started to fall prior to what appears to be Mr Kistler directing his gun at Mr Finch so to go out on assumption, I would assume Mr Finch fired first," Kramer said. Both Parties Plead Not Guilty Long's family remained silent during Wednesday's proceedings but shared her story last month. On the day of the incident, Long had traveled from her home in Houston to Dallas for a networking event. She died at the hospital shortly after the shooting, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

According to the TV station, Finch has a history of prior criminal offenses, including charges related to drugs and burglary. Judge Jennifer Balido denied his request to lower his bond. He remains in custody at the Dallas County Jail with bond set at $500,000.

Seven people killed in road crash near Yellowstone
All eight of the survivors from the van were taken to hospitals with varying degrees of injuries. PHOTO: HOMSKYRA/X BOISE, Idaho - Seven people were killed, and eight others injured after a van carrying more than a dozen tourists collided with a pickup truck in a fiery highway crash near Yellowstone National Park, Idaho state police said on May 2. The cause of the accident, which occurred about an hour and 15 minutes before sunset on May 1, remains under investigation, according to a state police news release. The Mercedes passenger van was transporting a tour group with 14 people aboard near Henry's Lake when it collided with a Dodge Ram pickup, then burst into flames, police said. Six people from the van as well as the pickup driver, its only occupant, were killed, according to police. All eight of the survivors from the van were taken to hospitals with varying degrees of injuries, police spokesperson Aaron Snell said. Information about the victims was being kept confidential pending notification of next of kin. The New York Times cited Fremont County coroner Brenda Dye as saying that the pickup driver was from Texas and that all six occupants of the van who died were from outside the United States, two of them from Italy. The accident occurred on US Highway 20 near Henry's Lake in eastern Idaho, about 20 miles west of Yellowstone. Weather conditions appeared clear in news video from the scene. Authorities provided no details about the circumstances of the accident. According to Ms Dye, two eyewitnesses to the crash jumped out of their vehicle to pull victims from the van, and managed to extract eight people from the wreckage, including a child, before the van caught fire, the Times reported. State police said the highway was closed in both directions for nearly seven hours while emergency and transportation crews worked to manage the scene and clear the roadway.
