New Brunswick attorney lost in diving expedition remembered: 'a force of nature'
Funeral services have been set for a popular New Brunswick-based attorney who died last month pursuing his other passion as the captain of shipwreck hunting expeditions. A religious family funeral for Joseph M. Mazraani is at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 23 at Saint Sharbel Maronite Church, 526 Easton Ave., in the Somerset section of Franklin. Visitation is from 4 to 8 p.m. Aug. 22 at the DeMoro Funeral Home, 517 Route 33, Millstone. Mazraani, 47, died July 29 in a diving-related incident believed to be related to a medical emergency about 200 miles offshore from Massachusetts, on the eastern edge of Georges Bank, during a dive to a shipwreck the team called The Big Engine Steamer, according to a Facebook post by D/V Tenacious, Mazraani's New Jersey-based dive vessel that locates, dives, and salvages shipwrecks. "Joe Mazraani was larger than life. He was kind, compassionate, and generous. A mentor and a student, a friend, brother, son, and partner. Whether motoring aboard D/V Tenacious, diving into deep and dangerous water, or defending his clients in court, Joe demanded the best of everyone around him. Sometimes he demanded it grumpily – but he always demanded by example," the Facebook post said. According to his obituary, Mazraani was born in Beirut, Lebanon and grew up during the height of the Lebanese Civil War. He came to the U.S. at 15 and later graduated from the City University of New York with a degree in film studies and earned his law degree from Seton Hall University School of Law. He was a founding partner at the Mazraani, Liguori & Farmer law firm, 57 Paterson St., New Brunswick, located across the street from the entrance to the Middlesex County Courthouse, where he practiced both criminal and civil law. "In the courtroom, Joe was a force of nature – brilliant on his feet and on paper, with a mastery of the rules of evidence that allowed him to dismantle cases before they began. It was the conflicts Joe witnessed growing up in Lebanon that led him to be peculiarly sensitive to victims of government oppression. He dedicated his life to criminal defense because he wanted to be the bulwark between the State and the individual," his obituary states. "If you sought to take away his client's freedom, you had to go through him first. He left nothing on the field. He could turn a routine pretrial motion into hours of argument that, for better or worse, held the attention of everyone in the room. When cases went to trial, his authenticity, clarity, and dramatic approach won over juries time and again." Mazraani's career included victories in two separate cases that led to exonerations recognized by the National Registry of Exonerations. One of those involved Timothy Puskas who, after spending a decade behind bars, was found not guilty last year of all charges in the 2014 murder of former Rutgers student William "Billy McCaw. It was the second trial for Puskas after his 2017 conviction was overturned in state appellate court. Mazraani and Puskas posed for a photo together when Puskas was released from custody. A Facebook page remembering Billy McCaw also included a news story post about Mazraani's death. According to his obituary, Mazraani was known as one of the world's leading shipwreck hunters and technical divers and will be remembered as one of the great East Coast dive boat captains. His love of the ocean began during childhood summers by the Mediterranean and he became a certified scuba diver in the mid-1990s and started exploring wrecks along the Northeast coast. In 2010, he founded Atlantic Wreck Salvage and acquired his own vessel, D/V Tenacious, which he outfitted for ambitious deep-water expeditions, his obituary states. "He lived every moment fully, without compromise," his obituary states. Mazraani is survived by his partner Jennifer Sellitti, who is also an attorney, his parents, brother, law partners, friends, colleagues and fellow divers. Atlantic Wreck Salvage has organized a memorial fund in Mazraani's name to promote shipwreck exploration and preservation of maritime history.

The social media star, who boasted more than 144,000 followers on Instagram, was struck by a stray bullet with her four-year-old son next to her during the altercation Friday.

Officials said Dousten, who was driving a pickup truck, got into a fierce exchange with another driver before whipping out a handgun and firing a random shot. According to police, the shot entered Hermosillo's vehicle through the passenger-side window and struck her in the head as she pulled up in the lane beside him, unaware of the danger. The social media star, who was sitting in the passenger seat while her partner drove, was then rushed to the hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. 4 The social media star, 27, was struck by a stray bullet with her four-year-old son next to her during the altercation Friday. Yarely Hermosillo / Facebook 'My question still is, why would you just randomly shoot the other way? He obviously didn't know the other car was there,' Glendale Police Sergeant Brian Hoskins told the local outlet. 'That's the thing, as gun owners, you have to know where you're shooting, what you're pointing at. You know, those are the responsibilities of being a responsible gun owner. You can't just fire rounds randomly throughout. Specifically, a high, highly populated city.' Hoskins added that Dousten was identified as the owner of the vehicle involved in the shooting. After cops obtained a warrant to search his apartment, two handguns were discovered and Dousten was arrested. 4 Glendale police have arrested Dousten, 33, on several charges including second-degree murder in connection with Hermosillo's death.

The content creator was remembered as 'a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a beautiful soul whose light touched everyone who knew her.' 'She leaves behind her husband and their 4-year-old son, who now face an unimaginable loss,' the page reads. 4 The road rage incident kick-started after two other drivers got into a heated dispute at a red light stop, prompting Dousten to allegedly open fire.

'She was an innocent victim caught in the middle of a road rage incident between others, leaving her family and friends devastated,' her family added.

Bear caught behind counter at Tahoe ice cream shop
Customers weren't the only ones craving sweets in South Lake Tahoe last weekend. Deputies responding to an early morning call on Sunday discovered a large black bear behind the counter of the Ice Cream Shop at Camp Richardson — apparently drawn to the strawberry ice cream. 'The deputies could barely believe their eyes,' the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday. The bear eventually left with little damage, but the encounter highlights a growing concern in the region: Tahoe's bears are becoming bolder. Wildlife officials say black bears are increasingly entering homes, cars and businesses in search of food. Last month, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife euthanized a 400-pound bear known as No. 717 after years of break-ins and aggressive behavior. Another bear, nicknamed Hope, is currently under watch following a series of soft entries in the Tahoe Keys. Officials estimate there are about 500 black bears in the Tahoe Basin and as many as 71,000 statewide. Encounters can be startling, but experts stress that attacks are extremely rare. Authorities urge residents and visitors to secure trash, lock doors and windows, and never leave food in cars. If you encounter a bear, back away slowly, make noise, and if approached, stand your ground and appear larger. 'Instead of trying to get that perfect picture or great video of a bear, let them know that they are too close and appreciate them from a distance,' said Denise Upton of Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care.
