Livonia woman accused of shooting at friend's father after being asked to leave his home
A Livonia woman is charged with assault with intent to murder after she allegedly shot at her friend's father at his Macomb County home. Kimberly Lozano, 31, was arraigned Monday on charges of assault with intent to murder, two counts of felony firearms, discharging a firearm in or at a building, and assaulting or resisting a police officer. Macomb County prosecutors allege that on Aug. 17, Lozano shot at her friend's father, Willie Richardson, after he asked her to leave his Eastpointe home. Richardson was not struck in the shooting. As police were attempting to arrest Lozano, prosecutors say she did not follow the officer's instructions, and more officers were called to assist in arresting her. "We cannot allow people to settle conflicts with firearms. The moment a weapon is drawn, what could have been a dispute becomes a life-threatening crime. When one person chooses to fire a gun in anger, they place not only the intended target at risk, but others who are nearby. Violence is not a solution; it's a choice, and it comes with consequences," said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido in a statement. Lozano was given a $350,000 bond and is back in court for a probable cause conference on Aug. 27. She has a preliminary examination on Sept. 3.

Winters man gets 30 days in prison for sexually assaulting woman on flight from Seattle to Sacramento
A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a Northern California man to 30 days in prison for sexually assaulting a woman last year on a flight from Seattle to Sacramento, prosecutors announced. Jeff Lorenzo, 40, sexually assaulted a 20-year-old woman who sat between him and a co-worker of his on an August 9, 2024, flight, the U.S. Attorney's Office Eastern District of California said. Prosecutors said Lorenzo repeatedly touched the woman without her consent, grazing her leg with his hand, pressing his arm into her breast and, at one point, putting his head near her crotch under the pretense of retrieving his dropped phone. Lorenzo's inappropriate behavior allegedly was not isolated to this incident. His co-workers told authorities that he had a history of harassment and acting inappropriately toward women. Lorenzo is from the Yolo County town of Winters, located about 30 miles from the city of Sacramento.

Six severed human heads discovered in central Mexico
Mexico Human rights CrimeFacebookTweetLink Follow Mexican authorities are investigating the discovery of six severed human heads between the central states of Puebla and Tlaxcala, according to the Tlaxcala Prosecutor's Office. It said on X that the heads belonged to men, without providing further details about the case. CNN has requested more information and is awaiting a response. Gruesome killings by criminal groups are not uncommon in Mexico. Earlier this year, authorities in Sinaloa state discovered 20 male bodies with gunshot wounds – including five that were decapitated – on a bridge over a federal highway. Puebla and Tlaxcala are central states located just over 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Mexico City. Neither is among the states with the highest levels of violence in Mexico, according to official figures. Puebla accounts for 3.4% of the 14,769 intentional homicides recorded nationally from January to July, and Tlaxcala, 0.5%. Both Puebla and Tlaxcala are generally considered safer travel destinations compared to other Mexican states, with the US State Department designating a Level 2 travel advisory for both, its second-lowest warning. However, the authorities acknowledge that, due to their geographic location, they face problems such as the movement of criminal groups dedicated to drug trafficking, human trafficking, and fuel theft. In 2022, authorities in Puebla discovered a truck transporting 116 migrants of various nationalities.
