Man charged after shooting at Miami boxing gym during sparring session

A Miami man is facing attempted murder charges after police say he opened fire Thursday evening inside a boxing gym during sparring sessions, injuring another man. Witnesses told police the shooting began when the suspect, 41-year-old Boyise Denmark, became upset that his son was sparring against someone he believed was bigger and older. "I believe there was to be probable cause for second-degree murder," a Miami-Dade County judge said during Denmark's first court appearance. The incident happened at the House of Pain Gym on Seventh Avenue, according to Miami police. Officers said the victim was found with gunshot wounds to the arm, abdomen, thigh, knee and buttocks. Witnesses reported that Denmark grew aggressive and argumentative with the victim over the sparring match. The two eventually shook hands, but tensions flared again when a boxing coach allegedly slapped an opposing boxer, sparking another altercation. Police say Denmark then shot the victim. "Sir, I'm entering a stay away order from the alleged victim," the judge told Denmark, who did not speak during the hearing. Police said Denmark was still at the scene when they arrived and had a gun in his waistband. He has been charged with attempted second-degree murder, using a firearm during the commission of a felony, and unlawful discharge of a firearm. "I'm granting the state's motion for pre-trial detention and holding him with no bond," the judge said. The victim remains at Ryder Trauma Center. Police have not provided an update on his condition. CBS News Miami contacted Denmark's public defender, but they declined to comment. Denmark's next court date is scheduled for Monday at 9 a.m.

Rapper Sean Kingston sentenced to three and half years for fraud scheme involving his mother

Rapper Sean Kingston has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for a fraud scheme involving his mother. Kingston, 35, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, and his mother, Janice Turner, were convicted in March in a Florida federal court of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. They were found guilty of using fraudulent documents to get more than $1 million worth of luxury cars, jewelry and other lavish goods. Kingston cried out to federal agents at the end of his trial as his mom was taken back into custody, 'Protect my mother,' local outlet WPLG reported at the time. Judge David Leibowitz sentenced Turner last month to five years in prison. Kingston's sentence also includes three years of supervised release. Kingston and his mother were arrested in May 2024 after a SWAT team raided Kingston's rented mansion in suburban Fort Lauderdale. Turner was taken into custody during the raid, while Kingston was arrested at Fort Irwin, an Army training base in California's Mojave Desert, where he was performing. According to court records, Kingston used social media from April 2023 to March 2024 to arrange purchases of high-end merchandise. After negotiating deals, Kingston would invite the sellers to one of his luxury Florida homes and promise to feature them and their products on social media. Investigators said that when it came time to pay, Kingston or his mother would text the victims fake wire receipts for the luxury merchandise, which included a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade, watches and a 19-foot LED TV, investigators said. When the funds never cleared, victims often contacted Kingston and Turner repeatedly, but were either never paid or received money only after filing lawsuits or contacting police. Kingston shot to fame at age 17 with the 2007 hit 'Beautiful Girls,' which laid his lyrics over Ben E. King's 1961 song 'Stand By Me.'
