Teen murdered in Brickell high-rise was stabbed to death as he slept, Miami police say
A teen who was murder over the weekend at a Brickell luxury high-rise was stabbed to death as he slept, according to new information released by Miami police. Sunday morning, around 2 a.m., officers were sent to the Icon Brickell complex, at 485 Brickell Avenue, after police received word of a stabbing. In an apartment on the 34th floor, they found the body of 17-year-old Dominic Ferrell. Stabbing suspect found dead nearby Investigators reviewed surveillance tape video, which showed one man running away from the building, according to police. SWAT officers searched a nearby building still under construction and found the suspect dead. He's been identified as 26-year-old Kyrill R. Kehl. "The suspect leaves the apartment building and goes across the street to a construction site and goes at least 100 to 200 feet and then jumps or falls to his death," Miami police Officer Michael Vega said. What led to the stabbing According to police, Kehl loitered in the lobby for a while before getting on an elevator. "We know the suspect was in the lobby for a bit before some residents went on the elevator. He tagged along with them and went up to the 40 something floor and knocked on several doors and tried to open the doors. He eventually goes down to the 34th floor and goes to the victim's door. He then goes to the bedroom where the 17 year old is sleeping and stabs him to death," Vega said. Investigators said another person was also asleep in the apartment where Ferrell was killed. According to police, Kehl arrived in South Florida from Arizona two days before the stabbing. He was not staying at the Brickell complex. Investigators are trying to piece together what led to the stabbing. "We know there may have been some mental health issues probably leading to this but until we get toxicology results we will not know what was in his system," Vega said. He added that Kehl and Ferrel were strangers. "We know for a fact that they did not know each other. They were strangers and this guy was just going from apartment to apartment, opening and knocking on doors, so again it is very important to lock your doors and do not open them to strangers," Vega said.

Meet Lubelo Scott, a lawyer who grew up in prison and is now breaking barriers in court halls
He is determined to walk in his mother's shoes and even do greater things. Lubelo's mother, Nomonde Scott made South African history in 1983 when she became the Western Cape's first black prosecutor. However, her trailblazing legal career took an unexpected turn when she was convicted of drug trafficking and sentenced to prison. After her release, Nomonde earned an LLB degree while on parole and later pursued an LLM degree in environmental law at University of the Western Cape (UWC), and she dedicated her life to fighting crime and improving community-police relations. She worked with the Safer South Africa Foundation, where she was the Western Cape co-ordinator, working in schools to educate pupils on crime and even published an autobiography titled 'Look Before You Leap,' to share her life story and discourage others from making similar mistakes. Nomonde was blessed with three children - two sons and one daughter namely, Beviwe Scott who was the eldest but passed away, Ntumeko Scott, her daughter who is a pilot, and Lubelo Scott, her son who is the last born and a lawyer. Read more | Family of Mpumalanga woman axed by baby daddy over Sassa card speaks out Nomonde Scott passed away on August 24, 2024, at the age of 64, leaving behind a legacy of dedication to justice and community service. Her son, Lubelo Scott has shaped his own perspective and informed his own path and made decisions that have ultimately led him to follow in his mother's footsteps in the pursuit of Law at University of the Western Cape. Read more | From Khayelitsha to international runways, Mzukisi Mbane on turning passion into award-winning success Lubelo Scott's childhood had challenges as he grew up in prison and from there went to live in Gugulethu - Cape Town where he had his upbringing until they eventually moved to Gordon's Bay as his mom's life advanced. In an interview with DRUM, Lubelo shared how life has been since the passing of his mother. 'I'd say I'm coping fairly well despite losing my pillar of strength and anchor. I would describe my head space as very confused and still trying to piece life together, because I had recently lost a very important figure in my life who happens to be my mom, the author of 'Look Before You Leap'. It was unforeseen, and it hit my boat in a way that I had never imagined, because in most cases, when someone is as reliable and full of life as my mother was, you don't expect them to soon just pass away.' Lubelo added that his mother was full of life and always dedicated herself to inspiring kids. 'She was a person that was always bubbly and always dedicated in whatever she did and turned whatever she touched into gold, she was very good with kids too. So, my headspace is full of severe confusion and just not knowing where I am headed. Due to her passing, I find myself having so much burden now as I have been put in a place where I have so many responsibilities and duties that I have to fulfil which I never thought of at this early stage in my life as she was always there providing guidance. But, as I thread along, I try my utmost best, because my best is all I can give for now.' Read more | Meet Xola Toto, the Gospel voice inspiring a new generation Lubelo reflects on his childhood experiences, noting that his upbringing in prison often led to misconceptions and a stigma from his peers and people in general. As he navigated primary and high school, he encountered people who viewed him differently once they learned about his background to an extent that some would associate his emotional expressions or behaviours with his prison upbringing, implying that he was prone to delinquency or rebelliousness, but he chose not to let these perceptions define him or dictate his path. 'Growing up as a kid, and obviously being in primary and high school, I think that's when I mostly felt, the judgments from peers, where some of them wanted nothing associating themselves with me mainly because of the fact that I was raised in prison. But that, for me, was never an issue because all it did for me was give me resilience and determination to prove everyone wrong. Due to that I always excelled in whatever I did as I used my rage from everything thrown at me to fuel my dedication in studies and rugby that I was playing. Everything at the end benefited me greatly, rather than negatively impacting my life, as I got a scholarship to go study at one of the prestigious schools in Cape Town, the Bishops Diocesan College because of my rugby skills which ultimately landed me a chance to play for the Western Province rugby team because, I didn't take and run away with what naysayers said about me, instead, I took and used their words as motivation to benefit me for the better and it did. Sometimes some people when I expressed human emotions would affiliate that with my prison upbringing to motivate their negative thinking as if I was a rebellious kid, but I never let that get to me,' he said. Read more | Tributes and condolences pour in for Presley Chweneyagae following his passing Lubelo says he chose to study Law to follow on his role model's footsteps which is his mother, her being the very first black female prosecutor in the whole of Western Cape at a time where apartheid and many other forces were dominant was the inspiration he drew from his mother. 'My mother's legacy, her being the first African female prosecutor in the Western Cape, that played a major role in me making that decision. Moreover, my mother was always in legal spaces, and a lot of lawyers would come to our house, the likes of Tembeka Ngcukaitobi who also is my role model, and we would just sit and chat at home and that's where I grew very fond of Law and decided to pursue a career in the field.' ' At times my mom and I would watch documentaries and just try and solve those cases together at home. But more than anything I pursued Law because I myself have great appreciation of Law as I wanted to make a difference and bring justice to those who have faced injustice,' he mentioned. Lubelo further mentioned that him and his older sister, Ntumeko Scott are under the process of establishing a foundation under their mom's name which will be named 'Nomonde Scott foundation,' but he also has dreams and future aspirations of his own which are to start his own Law firm and bring change to the world. Lubelo concluded by sending a message of hope to anyone who feels like they've tried their utmost best in life, but all hope seems lost. 'Life is about positive choices to make and not choices to take. Remain determined, I know that it's a cliché, and a lot of people have said this before me and a lot will say it after me, but for me, that is what has kept me going, being determined, stick to the plan and don't derail in it. Also, carry with you the morals and values that have been instilled in you, respect is important in life. God is for us all and He sees us all, so if you have a dream, chase it, and lastly don't live up to anyone's expectations of you, be your own writer and narrator of your own story.'

Sex offender charged with recording woman in Massachusetts Target changing room
A sex offender charged Monday with recording a woman inside a Target changing room in Wareham, Massachusetts has a history of similar incidents, police say. Gregory Mattos, a 37-year-old from Mashpee, is set to be arraigned Tuesday on the charge of photographing an unsuspecting nude person. Police officers responded to the Wareham Crossing store on the Cranberry Highway for a report of a man recording a woman in the fitting room. "The female told officers that the male held a cell phone over the fitting room stall door while she was changing," Wareham police said in a statement. The suspect was seen on surveillance video leaving the Target parking lot on a moped. Police said they found Mattos, who matched the description of the suspect in the video, and arrested him on Main Street without incident. Gregory Mattos charged in past incident Wareham police said Mattos "is a registered sex offender in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and has been involved in similar incidents in the past." In 2016, WBZ-TV reported that Mattos was charged with unlawful sexual surveillance after an "upskirting" incident at the same shopping plaza. In that case, police received a report about a suspicious man taking pictures of a female customer with his phone. He ran out of the store when the startled woman noticed what he was doing and was later arrested on a warrant, police said. Police said Mattos had previously been charged with failing to register as a sex offender in an unrelated case.
