What they're saying
Milwaukee police were called to the area of Darien and Green Tree, just west of Teutonia Avenue. A criminal complaint states officers found the victim, 25-year-old Chrishaun Ragland, shot in the driver's seat of a gray Ford SUV that was stopped on the grass. Ragland died at the scene despite life-saving attempts.
Court filings said Ragland suffered multiple gunshot wounds. There appeared to be bullet holes to the driver's window and door of the gray Ford, as well as a bullet strike to the dashboard in front of the steering wheel.
Prosecutors said a witness told investigators he heard several gunshots and went outside, where he saw a man with no shirt on – armed with a rifle – running from an apartment building near the scene. The same man eventually returned and went back inside the apartment building.

Detectives went to the apartment where the witness said he saw the armed man running to and from. The complaint states they found rifle bullet casings "consistent" with the shooter firing shots from the apartment's balcony toward Ragland. A sporting rifle was found during a search of the apartment and taken for ballistics testing, which found it was "consistent" with the rifle that fired the rounds found at the scene. A handgun was also found in the apartment.

According to court filings, surveillance video showed Ragland's gray Ford SUV pull up in front of the apartment building on the day of the shooting. It also showed 21-year-old Shania Barksdale meeting with Ragland and walking upstairs in the direction of the shooter's apartment. Minutes later, she was seen running down the stairs carrying the handgun that was later found during the search.
Shortly after, prosecutors said surveillance showed Griffin running downstairs without a shirt on. He was carrying what appeared to be the rifle that was found in the apartment. He later returned carrying both the rifle and the handgun that Barksdale had been seen with.
Barksdale told investigators she was Ragland's girlfriend, per the complaint. She said Ragland planned to go to Griffin's apartment and told her to "pretend to buy some marijuana" from Griffin with the intent of stealing a gun. She said she gave Griffin money for marijuana, and she saw a handgun on a table near a couch. When Griffin went to get the drugs, she took the gun and ran. When she got to the gray Ford SUV, where Ragland was waiting, she said she could not get in and heard Griffin fire shots from the balcony. She dropped the gun, which is how Griffin was able to pick it up and return inside with it, according to court filings.
Prosecutors charged Barksdale with theft for stealing the gun from the apartment.

The iPhone battery upgrade you've been waiting for could arrive in iOS 19
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. A new rumor has emerged suggesting Apple won't call its next mobile operating system iOS 19. Instead, the company is reportedly taking a leaf from Samsung's book and jumping straight to iOS 26. But it won't just be a new name that comes with the update, as a new rumor suggests that a long-awaited battery charging feature will make its way to Apple devices: you'll finally be able to see how long until your device is fully charged. This is not a new feature for smartphones as a whole. Google Pixel devices have had charge time remaining on the lock screen for a long time. However, that doesn't make it any less exciting for iPhone owners to have that extra bit of information on their phone. Now, when you look at an iPhone's screen while it's charging, you see the percentage charged, which is useful, but doesn't give you any indication of how long you'll need to wait for your phone to fill up. If you're running out of time and need to know how long it will take for your phone to charge, it's helpful to know. This report, which originally appeared in Bloomberg earlier this month, didn't seem to garner much attention at the time. In the report, Mark Gurman said there "will be a lock-screen indicator showing how long it will take to charge up". It's not a game-changing feature, like the rumored visual overhaul the new version of iOS is rumored to get, but it's still a welcome addition that'll make using the iPhone a little more pleasant on a daily basis. While Apple has shifted much of its focus to AI in recent months, the massive 'Solarium' UI for iOS 26 could be the most significant change in a while, bringing the company's focus back to user experience. And if you don't like the changes coming to iOS, Apple could make it easier to transfer an eSIM to Android. Forget iOS 19 — Apple may change the name of its upcoming iPhone software update iPhone 17 Pro Max just shown off in hands-on video — and there's a big design trade-off iPhone's satellite connectivity could be in trouble — here's why

No.1 Scheffler holds off Griffin to defend PGA Memorial title
World number one Scottie Scheffler of the United States defended his title at the PGA Tour's Memorial tournament (Michael Reaves) World number one Scottie Scheffler captured his 16th career PGA Tour victory on Sunday, joining Tiger Woods as the only players to defend titles at the Memorial tournament. The 28-year-old American took his third triumph in a month, firing a two-under par 70 to finish 72 holes on 10-under 278 at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio. Advertisement American Ben Griffin, coming off a victory last week at Colonial, was four strokes back in second on 282 after shooting 73 with Austrian Sepp Straka third on 283, one stroke better than Canada's Nick Taylor. "It's always a hard week to play this tournament," Scheffler said. "I battled really hard over the weekend and Ben made things interesting down the stretch." The triumph marked the ninth consecutive time Scheffler has turned a 54-hole lead into a victory, this one coming at the event hosted by 18-time major winner Jack Nicklaus. "Overall it was a great week and definitely proud to be shaking Mr. Nicklaus's hand at the end of another good week," Scheffler said. Advertisement Scheffler won last month's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow for his third major crown after taking the CJ Cup Byron Nelson two weeks earlier. By winning his first 16 PGA titles in just under 3.5 years, Scheffler became the fourth-fastest to go from his first to 16th tour wins after Sam Snead, Nicklaus and Woods, a 15-time major winner who took the Memorial from 1999-2001. The victory marked the first defended title among the nine crowns Scheffler won worldwide last year, having edged compatriot Collin Morikawa by a stroke at the 2024 Memorial. It also ensured Scheffler will be seen as the man to beat in two weeks at the US Open at Oakmont, where Scheffler seeks a fourth career major victory and second in a row. Advertisement "This is definitely a golf course that's going to expose your weaknesses," Scheffler said of Muirfield Village. "I've got a few things I can practice on next week. Overall, it was a really solid week, did some really good battling." Scheffler sank a par putt from just inside 10 feet at the 14th hole and reached 10-under with a tap-in birdie at the par-five 15th. Griffin, however, reached the 15th green in two and sank a 12-foot eagle putt to pull within three strokes with three holes to play. Griffin then followed with a 27-foot birdie putt at the par-three 16th to pull within two of the lead. Advertisement Scheffler responded by dropping his approach at 17 just inside 20 feet on the way to a routine par while Griffin needed four shots to reach the 17th green on his way to a double bogey, falling four adrift. Scheffler closed out matters with a seven-foot birdie putt at 18. - Scheffler solid early - Scheffler, who began the day with a one-stroke lead, birdied the first six holes to keep his one stroke lead while Griffin stayed on his heels by answering bogeys at the first and par-three fourth holes with birdies at the second and par-five fifth. Scheffler left his third shot at the par-five seventh within four feet of the hole and sank the birdie putt to reach nine-under. Advertisement Scheffler curled in a par putt at the ninth from just inside nine feet to make the turn with a two-stroke lead, but missed a 12-footer for par at the 10th for a bogey that dropped his advantage to one shot once more. At the par-five 11th, Scheffler responded by blasting out of the rough to 14 feet and curling in the birdie putt to restore a two-stroke edge on nine-under. Griffin found a bunker on the way to a bogey at the par-three 12th and never found the fairway at 13 on the way to another bogey that left Scheffler ahead by four with five holes remaining. js/sev

Ford Issues Massive Recall for 1.1 Million Vehicles This Week
Ford Issues Massive Recall for 1.1 Million Vehicles This Week originally appeared on Autoblog. Ford is recalling 1,075,299 vehicles in the U.S. over a software error that potentially prevents the rearview camera from displaying a proper live feed. More specifically, the rearview camera's images may delay, freeze, or not display at all when affected vehicles are in reverse, according to the NHTSA's report. The recall applies to Ford's 2021-2024 Bronco, F-150, Edge, and 2023-2024 Escape, Corsair, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-600. The 2022-2024 Expedition, 2022-2025 Transit, 2021-2023 Mach-E, Lincoln Nautilus, 2024 Ranger, Mustang, and the 2022-2024 Navigator are also impacted. A dealer or over-the-air software update will soon solve the problem with the vehicles' accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software, which serves as an operating system for a car's dashboard. This operating system helps a vehicle's infotainment system control programs, including but not limited to apps and navigation maps. There are no warning signs before the described rearview camera problem occurs. Documents related to the issue report that Ford is aware of one minor crash associated with the software problem, resulting in property damage, but no injuries or deaths. The automaker was initially contacted by the NHTSA about the issue in January after receiving three dozen complaints for 2021-2023 Ford F-150 models. Potentially affected owners are scheduled to receive a notice of the recall by mail between May 19 and May 23, whereas dealers were informed of the recall on May 12. Those driving impacted models compatible with over-the-air software updates must be connected to Wi-Fi to successfully complete the remote upgrade or visit a dealer. Ford's recall represented this week's largest recall order, with Toyota coming in second place at 443,444 vehicles. The Michigan-based automaker also leads all manufacturers in 2025 recalls at over 50, and the gap between first and second place is significant, according to CarEdge data. Through May 15, the Volkswagen Group has the second-highest number of recalls in 2025, at 14. General Motors and Stellantis North America are tied for the third-most at 11. Mercedes-Benz and Honda are tied for fourth with 9 recalls through May 15. Stellantis had the most recalls last year at 71. Ford models like the Explorer, Aviator, and Expedition have all undergone seatbelt recalls. The Volkswagen Group had one of the most unique recalls this year when its electric van was recalled due to a third-row bench seat that was deemed too wide for the van's number of seatbelts. Volkswagen dealers are responding by installing trim parts that reduce the rear seat's usable width. While Stellantis dethroned Ford's 2023 position as having the most recalls in 2024, the automaker has recaptured this undesirable status, and the competition isn't even close this year. The Michigan-based automaker has also issued the most recalls out of any manufacturer in history, with the F-150 pickup being the model most associated with its recalls. As bad luck would have it, the truck is yet again making an appearance with its inclusion in the NHTSA's list of vehicles potentially impacted by the rearview camera defect.
