Worcester man convicted of 2020 murder sparked by argument over restaurant bill
A 30-year-old Worcester man was found guilty of second-degree murder on Thursday for killing a man in the Central Massachusetts city in July 2020, prosecutors announced. Leroy Thompson Jr. was convicted of the killing of Joshua Lopez, 24, of Worcester. Lopez died on July 6, 2020, a day after he was shot while sitting in the back seat of a car near Almont Avenue in Worcester. A child was in the car at the time of the shooting, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said in a statement. The shooting came after an argument between Thompson and a group of people that included Lopez over the payment of a restaurant bill, according to a police report. Thompson was also convicted of reckless endangerment of a child. He will be sentenced in Worcester Superior Court on Sept. 24, Early's office said. In the statement, Early thanked police and prosecutors for their work on the case.

Trump admin live updates: US military is preparing for possible activation of National Guard in DC
Trump will conduct a press conference about crime in DC on Monday morning. 5:31 President Trump has announced a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin scheduled for Friday, Aug. 15 in Alaska. The Trump administration is also once again escalating its clash with Harvard University, with Commerce Secretary Lutnick sending a letter Friday to Harvard President Alan Garber that accuses Harvard of violating its legal and contractual obligations related to federally funded research programs and patents. Lutnick said the Commerce Department is launching an "immediate comprehensive review" of Harvard's federally funded research programs.

"There was no meeting at my house last night. There just wasn't," Vance told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo in an interview that aired on 'Sunday Morning Futures.' "We did meet at the White House yesterday, but not at the time that they said that they -- that we were going to meet and not about the subject that we -- they said that we were going to meet about," Vance said in the interview that was taped on Friday. "We actually didn't talk about the Epstein issue at all. That was never meant to be the subject of the meeting," he continued. Vance said the reports came from someone leaking a calendar entry in which they assumed that it was about Epstein. Vance reiterated that Trump has called for full transparency, and efforts are underway to compile documents. "On the Epstein issue, what the president has said very clearly, because we have had other meetings about that, is that he wants us to be fully transparent and he wants the credible information out there. So, we're working to compile the thousands and thousands of documents that are out there for full transparency," Vance said. Vance said he supported the decision by Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton in its investigation of the Epstein files. -ABC News' Kelsey Walsh Trump announced on his social media platform that he'll hold a news conference at 10 a.m. Monday to discuss crime in Washington, D.C. The president said that he has given D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser an opportunity to reduce crime rates but crime has gotten worse. "The Mayor of D.C., Muriel Bowser, is a good person who has tried, but she has been given many chances, and the Crime Numbers get worse, and the City only gets dirtier and less attractive. The American Public is not going to put up with it any longer," Trump said in his post. Contrary to the president's claim, Washington's Metropolitan Police Department's preliminary year-to-date crime rate comparison shows that crime in D.C. has decreased by 7% since last year, with violent crime down 26% and property crime reduced by 5%. 'I will take care of our cherished Capital, and we will make it, truly, GREAT AGAIN! Before the tents, squalor, filth, and Crime, it was the most beautiful Capital in the World. It will soon be that again,' Trump wrote. -ABC News' Kelsey Walsh Aug 10, 2025, 1:35 PM EDT Vance brushes off talk of 2028 ticket After Trump publicly suggested a Vance-Rubio ticket for 2028, the vice president shot down continued dialogue during an interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, saying that Rubio and he are not focused on politics right now. "I saw Marco about a month ago. We just laughed at the whole thing, because neither one of us are focused on politics. We're focused on actually doing a good job for the American people," Vance said in the interview that aired on 'Sunday Morning Futures.' "If we do a good job, number one, that's the reward, in and of itself, that I will have made a big difference in the lives of our country for the last six months, the next 3.5 years. But if we do a good job, the politics will take care of itself," he continued. Despite Vance trying to navigate away from the topic, he did not dismiss the possibility of running for president in 2028 when asked. "I'm not going to break that news today, Maria," he said. "What I'm going to do is focus for the next year and a half on doing a really good job for the American people, winning the midterm elections in 2026. Then we can talk about politics after that." -ABC News' Kelsey Walsh Trump tells homeless to move out of DC As Trump traveled to his golf club outside Washington on Sunday morning, it appears someone in his entourage took photographs that the president shared on his social media platform of images of homeless encampments along his route. In a new post, the president noted that he will hold a news conference on Monday at the White House where he will discuss his efforts to ensure safety in Washington, D.C. "The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital," Trump said on social media. "The Criminals, you don't have to move out. We're going to put you in jail where you belong." His post also comes as he ordered an increase in law enforcement over the past weekend as part of his initiative and executive order to "Make the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful." Trump also stated that he believes this will be less challenging than managing security at the border. "Be prepared! There will be no 'MR. NICE GUY.' We want our Capital BACK," Trump continued. -ABC News' Kelsey Walsh

Today in History: Deadly Walmart shooting in El Paso
Advertisement In 1775, 250 years ago, General George Washington convened a war council with his top generals in Cambridge. Washington and the others were stunned to learn how desperate the rebel forces were for gunpowder. He had thought they had 450 or so casks; there were only about 38. 'The General was so struck, that he did not utter a word for half an hour,' General John Sullivan wrote to the New Hampshire Committee of Safety. In 1852, in America's first intercollegiate sporting event, Harvard rowed past Yale to win the first Harvard-Yale Regatta. In 1916, Irish-born British diplomat Roger Casement, a strong advocate of independence for Ireland, was hanged for treason. In 1936, Jesse Owens of the United States won the first of his four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics as he took the 100-meter sprint.

In 1977, the Tandy Corporation introduced the TRS-80, one of the first widely-available home computers. In 1981, U.S. air traffic controllers went on strike, seeking pay and workplace improvements (two days later, President Ronald Reagan fired the 11,345 striking union members and barred them from federal employment). In 2004, the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty opened to visitors for the first time since the 9/11 attacks. In 2018, Las Vegas police said they were closing their investigation into the Oct. 1, 2017, shooting that left 58 people dead at a country music festival without a definitive answer for why Stephen Paddock unleashed gunfire from a hotel suite onto the concert crowd. In 2019, a gunman opened fire at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, resulting in the deaths of 23 people; after surrendering, the gunman told detectives he targeted 'Mexicans' and had outlined the plot in a screed published online shortly before the attack. In 2021, New York's state attorney general said an investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo found that he had sexually harassed multiple current and former state government employees; the report brought increased pressure on Cuomo to resign, including pressure from President Joe Biden and other Democrats.
