Suspect in deadly Brickell stabbing fell to his death, Miami police say
Police said they don't know if it was intentional or accidental.
Miami Police said they were called to the Icon Residences at 485 Brickell Avenue on Sunday just after 2 a.m. after a report of a man having been stabbed. They said when they arrived, they found a man dead inside an apartment on the 34th floor.
Surveillance tape showed one man fleeing, according to police, who said his body was discovered in the building under construction across the street.
"We are totally clueless as to why this happened and that is part of the investigation because of what leaked or this and there was no party going on and there was not a large group," Miami Police Officer Mike Vega said on Sunday.
Police have not released the name of either man or said if the two men knew each other.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump With Graphic of DC Crime Rate in Decline – as He Compares It to Baghdad
"We doubled up on Baghdad," the president claims While Donald Trump claimed the Washington, D.C., crime rate is comparable to tumultuous foreign cities like Baghdad and Panama City, MSNBC put a graphic onscreen showing that the city has actually been experiencing brighter days. 'Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs, and homeless people,' Trump said during a press conference on Monday, during which he announced that he'd be deploying the National Guard around town. More from TheWrap MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump With Graphic of DC Crime Rate in Decline – as He Compares It to Baghdad Tegna Stock Surges Over 28% on Nexstar Acquisition Talks Should They Stay or Go? Veteran Journalists Face Tough Choices in the Trump Age Al Jazeera Correspondent Anas al-Sharif, 4 Other Journalists Killed in Israeli Strike Outside Gaza City That's when MSNBC smoothly slotted in a graphic titled 'Decreases in Violence Crime Rates,' which showed that overall violent crime in D.C. has dropped by 26%, homicides have declined by 12% and robberies decreased by 28%. All the data on the graphic was sourced from the FBI and the Metropolitan Police Department of D.C. He went on to read data from documents he brought to the podium as he likened D.C. to cities overseas. 'These are different cities throughout the world. The red is a place called Washington, D.C. Look at these.' Trump said. 'Baghdad is — we doubled up on Baghdad. Panama City; Brasilia, San Jose, Costa Rica; Bogota, Colombia — heavy drugs — Mexico City. I mentioned Lima, Peru — all double and triple what they are. So do you want to live in places like that? I don't think so. I don't think so; and I think the people in this room, if you wrote correctly, you'd see.' As he continued, the graphic remained on the screen. 'Look at the kind of numbers we have. D.C., 41 per 100,000 — number one that we can find anywhere in the world,' Trump said. 'Other cities are pretty bad, but they're not as bad as that. That where you want to live, the reporters of the world? Juvenile offenders and crimes against persons, as they say. It's getting worse. Not getting better, it's getting worse.' On Monday, Trump took to social media to share that the country's capital will be 'liberated' from 'crime,' 'savagery,' 'filth,' and added that the 'days of ruthlessly killing or hurting innocent people are over.' As part of his supposed promise and a new executive order, he subsequently deployed the National Guard to Washington in an effort to curb its rate of crime and homelessness, as he said it's been overrun by 'gangs and bloodthirsty criminals.'

Clairton Coke Works explosion: 1 killed, 1 unaccounted for and at least 10 injured after explosion at U.S. Steel plant in Pennsylvania
Emergency officials are on the scene as at least 10 people were reportedly injured by the explosion. One person has died, one person is unaccounted for and at least 10 are injured following an explosion at a U.S. Steel plant near Pittsburgh, Allegheny County Police Assistant Superintendent Victor Joseph said at a press conference Monday afternoon. The explosion erupted at Clairton Coke Works around 10:51 a.m. ET on Monday. While the plant is stable, an active investigation is underway, Scott Buckiso, the executive vice president and chief manufacturing officer at U.S. Steel, said. Clairton Coke Works sits along the Monongahela River, about 20 miles south of Pittsburgh, and is part of the U.S. Steel manufacturing group based out of western Pennsylvania. Plants like this heat up coal to produce coke, a carbon-rich substance that's crucial for creating steel. Clairton Coke Works is considered the largest coke plant in North America, according to U.S. Steel, and produces around 4.3 million tons of coke annually. Nearly 1,300 people work at Clairton Plant, David B. Burritt, the president and CEO of U.S. Steel, said in a statement on X. 'We are working closely with relevant authorities to investigate the cause of the incident and will provide additional updates as they become available," Burritt said. The explosion reportedly took place inside the plant's 'reversing room,' sources told Pittsburgh KDKA reporter Ricky Sayer, which is a specialized area within the coke producing oven that's designed to help control air and gas flows during the coal heating process. 'Felt like thunder,' Zachary Buday, a construction worker who was near the scene at the time of the explosion, told local ABC affiliate WTAE-TV. 'Shook the scaffold, shook my chest and shook the building, and then when we saw the dark smoke coming up from the steel mill, and put two and two together and it's like something bad happened.' Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said in an X post that his administration was in touch with local officials. 'The scene is still active, and folks nearby should follow the direction of local authorities,' Shapiro wrote. 'Please join Lori and me in praying for the Clairton community.' Over the last few years, Clairton Coke Works has faced a number of lawsuits over pollution concerns. Most recently, in 2019, the plant settled a 2017 lawsuit for $8.5 million and agreed to spend at least $6.5 million to reduce its soot emissions and noxious odors. 'The mill is such a big part of Clairton,' Clairton Mayor Richard Lattanzi said Monday afternoon, according to the AP. 'It's just a sad day for Clairton.' Solve the daily Crossword
