Dismembered San Jose woman identified in cold case homicide
From the start of this encounter, mover Keonta Gilmer says things were heated. In the video, a woman confronts the mover hauling furniture, saying she can't get out of her house because of his moving truck.
She appears upset, even though he says he agreed to move the truck for her.
'It was just constant 'F-yous' and then expletives and slurs. It started left and it stayed left,' said Gilmer.
The video posted on TikTok shows the woman walking back to her car. Gilmer's business partner asks for kindness and is instead met with a racial slur.
'That being in your vernacular, like you said for it to slip out so fast it just shows it's common for you,' said Gilmer. 'It wasn't a slipout, you didn't feel bad for it. It didn't take a lot out of you to say it.'
The video has been viewed on TikTok 1.9 million times, with more than 200,000 likes.
In the comments, people recognized the woman by name, however, KRON4 has not officially confirmed that. She even direct messaged the TikTok account that posted the video ,asking for it to be taken down.
'Was a point where she reached out to my partner 'hey, take this video down, it's going to ruin my life,'' said Gilmer. 'Another follow-up with a cease and assist, like a demand. A poorly written one on top of that.'
He says the response shows that the woman isn't sorry for her actions, only that she was caught.
'Unfortunately for me, it's not the first interaction I've ever had where I've been called this slur or this word or dealt with situations like this,' Gilmer said, 'but this is the first time somebody has been held accountable for that.'
KRON 4 attempted to reach out to the woman for comment, but phone calls went unanswered, and her social media accounts appear to all be deleted.

Boston students discuss Massachusetts bill that would ban cellphones in school
Currently, Boston Public Schools' policy allows students to bring their cellphones to school as long as they are not visible during class time. Students are only allowed to use phones before or after school hours. Some schools in the district, such as Irving Middle School in Roslindale, Advertisement A Yondr pouch is a small bag that can only be unlocked using a special magnet that would be controlled by a school official. At least four BPS high schools, including English High School, started using Yondr pouches to restrict phone usage last year. Advertisement Ladan Mohamed, 15, a rising sophomore at Boston Latin School and a member of the Boston Student Advisory Council, opposes BPS spending money on Yondr pouches. Boston Latin School hasn't implemented them yet and has an honor system where students are not required to turn in their phones, but many classrooms have organizers where students can store their phones, so they don't get distracted during class. Mohamed also said the district needs to get better at contacting parents during emergencies, before enacting a cellphone ban. 'Let's say somebody ... breaks into the building, students and parents don't find out until after the fact,' Mohamed said, 'If students don't have their phones, the city and BPS need an emergency contact system. Right now, students are using social media as a positive tool.' Caitlin Murphy, head of school for The English High School, said that using Yondr pouches has been successful in encouraging healthy social interaction during lunch and made it easier for administrators to provide students with mental health support, since they aren't worried about student interactions on social media during the school day. 'The support team was constantly running to put out fires that were being started by social media that were causing incidents during the school day instead of actually doing responsive work. We're able to sort of proactively plan stress and anxiety groups,' Murphy said. Advertisement Murphy also said that The English High School was focused on helping students reach out to their parents if needed. 'I've been very clear with our main office staff and with anyone who ... has a phone in their office, that if a caregiver calls, then we drop what we're doing and we're getting to that student,' Murphy said. Laura Lara Santos, 16, a student at Fenway High School, where Yondr pouches have been implemented, is supportive of a 'bell-to-bell' policy where cellphones are banned throughout the school day, based on her own positive experiences in a phone-free school. 'It was reflected in my grades. The teachers actually told me that they saw a big change,' Lara Santos said in Spanish through an interpreter, 'and it helped during lunchtime too because we had real connections. We were not just talking about what had happened on TikTok.' Lara Santos is a member of Sociedad Latina, a Roxbury nonprofit that supports Latino youth with education, workforce development and other after-school programming. Alexandra Oliver-Dávila, executive director of the nonprofit, who spoke with her at the hearing, advocated for implementing a uniform bell-to-bell cellphone restriction policy across BPS at the hearing, to make education equitable for all students, irrespective of zip code. 'What I could foresee happening is there's going to be certain schools that are thought of as needing discipline that need to use the Yondr pouch,' Oliver-Dávila said, 'And we're going to come back down to the divide of the exam schools versus open enrollment schools.' Most of the students at the hearing testified against cellphone restrictions, saying that a ban would not help teenagers develop self-control when it comes to technology. Munira Saeed, 15, a student at the Boston Latin Academy, said that a cellphone ban would merely delay the challenge of teenagers learning how to use cellphones in a healthy manner, rather than solving the issue. Advertisement 'Trust and responsibility goes both ways. Give us the structure, the support and the chance to show that we can use our tools responsibly,' Saeed said. David Bickham, research director at the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital, said that based on a 'If the school clearly communicates the goals of the policy to the students, it doesn't matter how strict it is, the kids [in the survey] said that this policy increased their sense of independence ... so the details of the policy were less important,' he said.

Sonya Massey shooting prompts Illinois law requiring disclosure of police recruits' backgrounds
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois law now requires that prospective police officers approve the release of personal background records in response to last summer's shooting of Sonya Massey, an unarmed Black woman, in her home by a sheriff's deputy who had responded to her call for help. Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday signed the legislation, which requires disclosure of everything from job performance reports to nonpublic settlement agreements. It resulted from indiscretions that came to light in the background of Sean Grayson, the ex-sheriff's deputy charged with first-degree murder in the case. Pritzker, surrounded by Massey's family in the state Capitol, said the first-in-the-nation law should serve as an example for other states as he let Massey's 'spirit guide us to action.' 'Our justice system needs to be built on trust,' the Democrat said. 'Communities should be able to trust that when they call the police to their home, the responding officer will be well-trained and without a history of bias or misconduct, and police officers should be able to trust that they are serving alongside responsible and capable individuals.' The legislation was sponsored by Sen. Doris Turner, a Springfield Democrat and friend of the Masseys, and Chicago Democratic Rep. Kam Buckner, who noted that Thursday marks the 117th anniversary of the three-day Race Riot in Springfield that led to the founding a year later of the NAACP. Who is Sonya Massey? Massey, 36, was a single mother of two teenagers who had a strong religious faith and struggled with mental health issues. In the early morning of July 6, 2024, she called 911 to report a suspected prowler outside her home in the capital city of Springfield, 201 miles (343 kilometers) southwest of Chicago. Grayson and another deputy searched but found no one. Inside Massey's house, confusion over a pot of hot water Massey picked up and her curious response to Grayson — 'I rebuke you in the name of Jesus' — which the deputy said he took to mean she wanted to kill him, prompted him to fire on Massey, hitting her right below the eye. What prompted the legislation? The 31-year-old Grayson was 14 months into his career as a Sangamon County Sheriff's deputy when he answered Massey's call. His arrest two weeks later prompted an examination of his record, which showed several trouble spots. In his early 20s, he was convicted of driving under the influence twice within a year, the first of which got him kicked out of the Army. He had four law enforcement jobs — mostly part-time — in six years. One past employer noted that he was sloppy in handling evidence and called him a braggart. Others said he was impulsive. What does the law require? Those seeking policing jobs must sign a waiver allowing past employers to release unredacted background materials, including job performance reports, physical and psychological fitness-for-duty reports, civil and criminal court records, and, even otherwise nonpublic documents such as nondisclosure or separation agreements. 'It isn't punitive to any police officer. The same kind of commonsense legislation needs to be done nationwide,' James Wilburn, Massey's father, said. 'People should not be able to go from department to department and their records not follow them.' The hiring agency may see the contents of documents sealed by court order by getting a judge's approval, and court action is available to compel a former employer to hand over records. 'Several departments need to pick up their game and implement new procedures, but what's listed here (in the law) is what should be minimally done in a background check,' said Kenny Winslow, executive director of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, who helped negotiate the proposal. Would the law have prevented Grayson's hiring? Ironically, no. Most of what was revealed about Grayson after his arrest was known to Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell, who was forced to retire early because of the incident. Campbell was aware of Grayson's shortcomings and, as a result, made him repeat the state's 16-week police training course. Even an incident that didn't surface until six weeks after the shooting — a dash-cam video of Grayson, working as a deputy in a nearby county, ignoring an order to halt a high-speed chase and then hitting a deer with his squad car — would not have disqualified him, Campbell said at the time. 'We can't decide who they do or don't hire, but what we can do is put some parameters in place so that the information will be there and the right decision can be made,' Buckner said.

D.C. residents flood social media to counter Trump's crime claims
A new TikTok trend is taking off in D.C. following President Trump's federal takeover, with locals posting their "love letters" to the District. Why it matters: Crime in D.C. has become a national talking point, and some residents are trying to flip the script. The big picture: Trump earlier this week said the District has "been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people" — a depiction some locals disagree with. Meanwhile, violent crime is declining in D.C., as are homicides — although the latter is still higher than it was a decade ago. State of play: TikTokers are sharing images of what they love about the city over background audio of Trump's claims that D.C. is teeming with crime. Some X users began posting lists of "Things I'm Actually Scared of as a D.C. Resident," sharing tongue-in-cheek answers like " Exiting Northwest Stadium," " Whitlows" and " middle school tour groups." Meanwhile, some residents made their opinions known offline via protests against Trump's takeover.
