Suspect In Sauce Walka Shooting Found Dead In Houston
The man suspected in the murder of Sayso P and injuring Sauce Walka has been found dead.
TMZ reports that the suspect, identified as Jayden Dandridge, was located in Houston, where the Harris County Institute of Forensic Science ruled his death as a homicide on Monday (March 31).
Even with the new developments, the Houston Police Department announced that they haven't made any arrests in connection to the case. However, the Memphis PD issued a statement on Facebook with a video showing Dandridge and another man getting out of a car in a parking lot and announcing that another suspect was identified.
'21-year-old Jayden Dandridge, the suspect in the downtown homicide case, has been found deceased in Houston, Texas,' the post reads. 'A second suspect, Kevin Brown, 22, has been identified and remains at large.
'A warrant for his arrest has been issued charging him with First-Degree Murder, Attempted First-Degree Murder, Employment of a Firearm during the Commission of a Dangerous Felony, and Theft of Property $10,000-$60,000. This investigation is ongoing. If you have any information, contact Crime Stoppers at 901-528-CASH.'
Sauce Walka has not addressed the news of his attacker's death, but the rapper did memorialize his friend Sayso P in a recent Instagram post. On Friday (March 25), Sauce showed his boy some love, declaring that 'no matter what's the risk,' to do everything that Sayso wanted him to do in Memphis.
He wrote, 'Everything in Memphis @sayso___p wanted me to do with him I stayed 3 days after we lost you to complete your wishes.. ( You gotta eat at ' Smackers Junt ' lol ) You gotta do interview with @wikidfilmssss ?️ we gotta do the #BoxdIn junt that's Memphis history..

Sayso P, né Latorian Hunt, was shot and killed on Saturday (March 22) outside of the Memphis Beale Street Hotel in what authorities are calling a 'targeted' attack. Sauce, whose real name is Albert Walker Mondane, was also injured in the shooting. P was one of Sauce Walka's artists who had been signed to his record label. Sayso P was only 27 years old when he died.

Gerry Adams's lawyer to pursue chatbots for libel
The high-profile media lawyer who represented Gerry Adams in his libel trial against the BBC is now preparing to sue the world's most powerful AI chatbots for defamation. As one of the most prominent libel lawyers in the UK, Paul Tweed said that artificial intelligence was the 'new battleground' in trying to prevent misinformation about his clients from being spread online. Mr Tweed is turning his attention to tech after he recently helped the former Sinn Fein leader secure a €100,000 (£84,000) payout over a BBC documentary that falsely claimed he sanctioned the murder of a British spy. The Belfast-based solicitor said he was already building a test case against Meta that could trigger a flurry of similar lawsuits, as he claims to have exposed falsehoods shared by chatbots on Facebook and Instagram. It is not the first time tech giants have been sued for defamation over questionable responses spewed out by their chatbots. Robby Starbuck, the US activist known for targeting diversity schemes at major companies, has sued Meta for defamation alleging that its AI chatbot spread a number of false claims about him, including that he took part in the Capitol riots. A Norwegian man also filed a complaint against OpenAI after its ChatGPT software incorrectly stated that he had killed two of his sons and been jailed for 21 years. Mr Tweed, who has represented celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Harrison Ford and Jennifer Lopez, said: 'My pet subject is generative AI and the consequences of them repeating or regurgitating disinformation and misinformation.' He believes statements put out by AI chatbots fall outside the protections afforded to social media companies, which have traditionally seen them avoid liability for libel. If successful, Mr Tweed will expose social media companies that have previously argued they should not be responsible for claims made on their platforms because they are technology companies rather than traditional publishers. Mr Tweed said: 'I've been liaising with a number of well-known legal professors on both sides of the Atlantic and they agree that there's a very strong argument that generative AI will fall outside the legislative protections.' The lawyer said that chatbots are actually creating new content, meaning they should be considered publishers. He said that the decision by many tech giants to move their headquarters to Ireland for lower tax rates had also opened them up to being sued in Dublin's high courts, where libel cases are typically decided by a jury. This setup is often seen as more favourable to claimants, which Mr Tweed himself says has fuelled a wave of 'libel tourism' in Ireland. He also said Dublin's high courts are attractive as a lower price option compared to London, where he said the costs of filing libel claims are 'eye-watering'. He said: 'I think it's absurd now, the level of costs that are being claimed. The libel courts in London are becoming very, very expensive and highly risky now. The moment you issue your claim form, the costs go into the stratosphere. 'It's not in anyone's interest for people to be deprived of access to justice. It will get to the point where nobody sues for libel unless you're a billionaire.' Meta was contacted for comment. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Maryland homeowner says squatters moved into his house using fake Instagram scam — now they want $5K to leave
A Maryland homeowner, who asked to only be identified by his first name, Pete, says squatters are demanding $5,000 to vacate his home after gaining access to the property through a fraudulent Instagram rental scheme. ABC 7 News reports that two adults and two children had moved in, changed the locks and gave police a signed 'Squatter Lease Agreement Addendum,' a document investigators say is part of a larger fraudulent rental scheme, and one that Pete knew nothing about. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) The purported squatters allegedly told officers they paid $1,500 to a woman they met on Instagram who claimed she could get them a house in any area they wanted. All they had to do was pay a one-time fee — no rent, no lease, no questions asked. According to dispatch audio and police reports obtained by ABC 7, officers were called to Pete's property on May 29 after a realtor noticed signs of forced entry. The BCPD report states that 'a realtor attempted to show the property to a prospective renter when he noticed shavings on the ground of the front door entrance, the lockbox to the property missing, and the locks changed.' Police noted visible damage to the basement door consistent with forced entry. According to police reports reviewed by ABC 7 News, the male occupant at Pete's home admitted he knew what he was doing was wrong — but said he felt he had no other option. He reportedly claimed the individual told him the real homeowner might eventually show up but he'd have the chance to 'work something out' when that happened. In some cases, however, renters don't know they are entering into a fraudulent lease. Baltimore County Police say this isn't an isolated incident. The same Instagram account that connected these squatters to Pete's home has been mentioned in at least two other squatting cases in the area, including one in Windsor Mill and another in Baltimore City. Baltimore County State Delegate Ryan Nawrocki says these cases show a troubling trend: coordinated squatting scams that operate like organized crime. 'We have people who are doing this time and time again, and we know who they are. It's no different than any other criminal network that we would normally hold very seriously accountable,' he told ABC 7. As these scams grow more common, authorities say the legal system is struggling to keep up. Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger says these scams are difficult to prosecute because they often involve two sets of victims: homeowners, and tenants who believe they've found a legitimate place to live. 'You have a victim who signs a lease and gets ripped off—and you have a property owner who loses control of their home,' Shellenberger said. His office is pursuing charges when possible, but he says that criminals are finding ways to commit crimes that states lack laws to address. Some states, like Florida and California, have begun passing laws to protect property owners from these situations. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it suggests that homeowners can try to protect their property from squatters with security measures, such as: Secure vacant homes: Use security cameras, check the property frequently and alert neighbors if your property is unoccupied. Make the home look occupied: Timed lights, security signs, planters and even children's toys can make it look like someone lives in the home. Report tampering immediately: If locks are changed or signs of forced entry appear, notify police right away. The longer squatters stay, the harder it can be to remove them. Screen for your property online: Monitor real estate and social media platforms for listings using your address without your consent. Consider setting up an alert for your address that will notify you if anything about your address is posted. Consult a property attorney: Eviction and trespass laws vary by state, and laws are constantly changing. You may need legal help to remove unauthorized occupants. For those looking for a place to rent, Experian provides tips on how to avoid falling for a bogus listing: Don't trust listings from social media: Scammers prey on desperation. If it seems too easy or too cheap, it probably is. Tour the property: This will prove the person offering the home has access. While it's not foolproof, it's another step that can help protect you. Verify the landlord's identity: Ask to see ID, ownership documents or work through a licensed realtor. Watch for red flags: Cash-only payments, no background checks, lease agreements with vague or unusual language or being told to change the locks yourself indicate something isn't right. Check the property's status: Use county records or real estate platforms to confirm if it's actually available for rent and who owns it. If the home is for sale or lists an owner other than the person you spoke with, walk away. Squatting scams like this are growing more common and more sophisticated. Pete's story is a warning for both homeowners and renters: in the age of online scams and fake listings, protecting your home, or finding one, may require more vigilance than ever.

Christian Rock Band Newsboys React to Former Lead Singer Michael Tait's Sexual Assault Allegations: 'Heartbroken and Angry'
Christian rock group Newsboys released a statement following allegations of sexual assault against former lead singer Michael Tait An investigation by The Roys Report was made public a day prior that included claims against Tait of alleged sexual assaults that took place between 2004 and 2014 "While Michael has not addressed these allegations, we are devastated even by the implications," the band saidChristian rockers Newsboys are speaking out after allegations of sexual assault were made against the group's former lead singer, Michael Tait. On Thursday, June 5, the band shared a note on Instagram, one day after an investigation by The Roys Report was made public that included claims against Tait of alleged sexual assaults that took place between 2004 and 2014. "Last night our hearts were shattered when we read the news alleging drug abuse and inappropriate sexual actions by our former lead singer, Michael Tait," read the statement, which was shared by the band's current lineup of Jeff Frankenstein, Jody Davis, Duncan Phillips and Adam Agee. "While Michael has not addressed these allegations, we are devastated even by the implications," the group continued. "The four of us are husbands and fathers. Between the four of us, we have fourteen children. Our wives and children have made many sacrifices while we have dedicated our lives to playing music together that glorifies God." They added, "We are horrified, heartbroken, and angry at this report and in many ways, we feel as if we and our families have been deceived for the last fifteen years." Before departing the band in January, Tait "confessed to us and our management" that he 'had been living a double-life," the band members then wrote, adding that they "never imagined that it could be this bad." Tait, formerly of the group DC Talk, has not publicly responded to the sexual assault allegations. The musician did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Saturday, June 7. The Roys Report — the Christian media outlet behind the two-and-a-half-year investigation — claimed it spoke with three men who say Tait befriended them on Christian music tours in 2004, 2010 and 2014 and sexually assaulted them. Tait previously announced his departure from Newsboys on Jan. 16, writing on Instagram that it was a "monumental and heartfelt decision" that "has been a shock to even myself." He joined Newsboys in 2009 following the exit of band co-founder and then-lead vocalist Peter Furler. "But amidst prayer and fasting, I have clarity that this is the right decision," he continued in his departure announcement, later writing that he hoped listeners would "continue to support my brothers as they continue on in the Newsboys mission." "My heart remains focused on spreading hope and love in everything I do. Thank you for walking this journey with me. I'm forever grateful," he concluded. Tait is also largely known for his solo career, as well as his work in DC Talk alongside Kevin Max and TobyMac. The group won four Grammys between 1993 and 2001.
