A disturbing discovery after Miami-Dade firefighters extinguished a car fire in a store's parking lot and found a body inside. It happened Monday night in the parking lot of a Walmart in the area of SW 136 Avenue and SW 288 Street, west of the Homestead Air Reserve Base. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said just before 7:30 p.m., deputies were sent to the lot to check out reports of a car on fire. When they arrived, the sheriff's office said deputies found a car with flames shooting out of it and tried to put out the fire themselves, however, they were unsuccessful. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived and put it out and that's when the body was discovered. The sheriff's office said they are working to determine the gender and identity of the person.

Online scam uses fake ICE raids at Target and Walmart to steal personal data
A new online scam is exploiting fears surrounding immigration raids. If your 'For You' page on TikTok has recently shown videos of alleged former Target or Walmart employees claiming they were fired—or even deported—by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), it's a scam. These viral clips, which often rack up millions of views, typically feature young people in retail uniforms and carry clickbait captions like 'ICE deportations at Target' and 'Fired from Walmart.' Others make similar claims about popular chains like Taco Bell, Lululemon, McDonald's, and Crumbl Cookies. However, a recent investigation by the Daily Dot revealed that these videos are part of a coordinated effort to harvest users' personal data. One post reads: 'Target really had ICE waiting after my shift. They just fired me like I was nothing.' The post continues: 'So here's everything I wasn't supposed to say.' What are the supposed 'secrets' these accounts are exposing? Many feature bizarre or nonsensical claims. One video says: 'We're forced to listen to Walmart Radio every shift. Most of us hide our AirPods, but if you get caught, you're in big trouble. Everyone knows about the 'Walmart Groove.' Look it up.' If you're confused, that's the point. The Daily Dot suggests these may be AI -generated hallucinations, possibly inspired by the 'Walmart Shuffle,' a song commissioned by Walmart in 2019. The scam doesn't stop at fabricated stories; it also involves stolen identities. Creator @mama_mia016, who regularly films her real-life shifts at Target, confirmed to the Daily Dot that she's still employed and not behind the viral video using her likeness. Upon closer inspection, many of these videos include voice-overs or captions promoting 'free products,' 'discounts,' or 'gift cards' in exchange for completing a 'customer survey' on a separate website. This is a classic phishing scam. The goal is to extract personal data—email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, even payment information—often under the pretense of charging 'shipping fees.' Victims rarely receive the promised rewards and may instead face identity theft or unauthorized charges. There's no evidence to support the employment or deportation claims. Major retailers like Target and Walmart have issued no statements indicating mass firings or collaboration with ICE. By playing on fears about immigration enforcement, scammers are baiting concerned users with alarming viral content. While TikTok has removed many of the flagged links since the Daily Dot 's report, new ones continue to appear. (Fast Company has reached out to TikTok for comment.)

Man slashes woman's throat on bus then walks off, Oklahoma police say
A man was arrested in Oklahoma after police say he slashed a woman's throat on a bus. Around 1:09 p.m. Aug. 3, police were called for reports of a stabbing, according to a Facebook post from the Tulsa Police Department. According to police, 42-year-old Robert J. Rhoades and a 43-year-old woman both got on the bus at a Walmart stop. Rhoades then sat in the seat behind the woman. The two had no interactions and didn't speak to each other, police said. When the bus arrived at the main station, Rhoades reached around and sliced the woman's throat before getting off the bus and walking away, according to police. When officers arrived, they found Rhoades close by with blood on his clothes and a bloody knife in his pocket, officials said. Homicide detectives were called to the scene because of how severe the woman's injuries were, but doctors remain hopeful she will recover after she underwent surgery. Rhoades was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and false impersonation, as well as a warrant out of Missouri. Police have not said what led to the assault, but they are recovering surveillance footage from the bus and have spoken with multiple witnesses.
