The Brief A Melbourne teen's bicycle, which belonged to his late father, was recently stolen. The teen's mother took to Facebook to get help locating the bike, and they were able to track it down. The family is grateful to the Melbourne community and the police department that helped them get the bicycle back. MELBOURNE, Fla. - A Melbourne teen's treasure bicycle, given to him by his late father, was returned after being stolen thanks to help from the community and the police department. What we know A 15-year-old Melbourne teen was lifeguarding at Sherwood Park when he says someone stole his bicycle from the bike rack. The teen, Landon Cangiano, and his mother, Nicole, were heartbroken. The bike belonged to Landon's father, Vinny, who died from COVID-19 complications in 2021. Nicole Cangiano posted about the stolen bicycle on Facebook, hoping that someone would see it. Then, to her surprise, the post received more than 570 shares. A woman in the Melbourne community let Nicole Cangiano know that she saw the bike. That's when Landon and his swim coach, who he was with at the time, went looking for the bike. They were able to find it, and they called the Melbourne Police Department, who helped them safely get the bike back. What they're saying The Cangiano family is now feeling grateful to the community that helped them get the bike that means the world to them. "Just to see everybody come together, and they care about us, and they know our story, and it just feels so amazing," Nicole Cangiano said. Nicole Cangiano said the bike's worth in terms of money meant nothing. "It was all about the memories that we have with the bike," she said. "So, seeing it go full circle and how important that was to us, I don't even know what to say. It was just so special, and I really feel like maybe Vinny had a hand in this. So, we definitely feel like that, because even the police officer said this doesn't happen."

Suspect in Columbia double homicide speaks from jail
COLUMBIA, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man accused of killing two of his neighbors, seemingly at random, spoke with News 2 from the Maury County Jail. The shooting deaths of 46-year-old John Bidle and 51-year-old Stacie Wright rocked a quiet Columbia neighborhood last week. Byron Childers was taken into custody in connection with the case and he told News 2 that he wants to share his side of the story. RELATED: Neighbors rally to support family of man killed in Columbia shooting 'I'm horribly sorry,' Childers said. 'That was not me. That was something else. It was not me.' On Saturday, May 31, a typically quiet Columbia community was chaos. Police said Childers was walking along Somerset Lane with a rifle when he shot Bidle. Then, upon hearing the gunshots, police said Wright opened the door of her nearby home and was shot several times. When asked about motive, Childers said that he did not want to talk about it. 'I'm not — I don't want to talk about this now,' Childers told News 2. 'I need to relax.' Childers repeated his apology. 'Just — I am sorry,' Childers says. 'There is nothing else I can say. What can you say?' News 2 asked about Childers' day before the shooting occurred. 'Hung around the house, organized the garage — relaxed,' Childers said. Childers said he barely remembers the shooting, adding that he was friendly with Bidle.

'[I would] leave tackle on his doorstep. We were fishing buddies. [We] talked about fishing.' Childers said he knows he's changed the lives of three families forever, including his own. After about five minutes, he asked to return to his cell. He has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder in connection with the case. Childers is being held without bond. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
