Detroit man charged with fatally shooting his girlfriend on Valentine's Day
Desuan Travon Ross, 31, was arraigned on those charges and remanded to jail after a magistrate hearing Sunday in 36th District Court, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Officer reported. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for Feb. 24; preliminary exam is scheduled for March 3.
Eboni Robinson, 29, also of Detroit, was the victim.
A press release from Prosecutor Kym Worthy related the following circumstances:
Shortly before 9 a.m. Friday, Detroit Police went to a home in the 17400 block of Washburn on report of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found Robinson's vehicle crashed into the front porch of a home on the opposite side of the street, with the woman still inside, showing signs of multiple gunshot wounds.
Medics were called to the scene and pronounced her dead.
"It is alleged that the defendant and the victim were engaged in an argument inside the victim's vehicle. When the altercation escalated, it is alleged that the defendant exited the vehicle and fired a handgun multiple times into the driver's side window, striking the victim," the prosecutor's office said.
"After the victim's vehicle traveled to the opposite side of the street and crashed, it is further alleged that Defendant Ross fired a rifle multiple times into the driver's side window, fatally wounding Ms. Robinson."
In response to the case, the Wayne County Prosecutor's office added that help is available for those experiencing domestic violence. A list of resources including support services and shelters is on the prosecutor's website.

Rashee Rice's hearing will happen before Judge Sue L. Robinson
When Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice has his disciplinary hearing on September 30, it will indeed happen before Judge Sue L. Robinson. The retired judge, who handled the Deshaun Watson case three years ago, serves as the disciplinary officer under the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. The Rice case will be her second hearing under the revisions to the procedure that resulted from the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement. She'll hear the evidence (there aren't many disputed facts, unless a fight emerges as to the extent of injuries caused by Rice's admittedly reckless driving). She'll be making findings as to what happened. She'll affix a punishment. Then, either the NFL or Rice may appeal the decision to the Commissioner or his designee. There had been a belief that the case would go straight to Goodell, since there's no need for Judge Robinson to determine what did and didn't occur. It's all on video. Still, the Personal Conduct Policy sets forth a clear process. She handles it first, and the appeal happens after that. The policy contains no specific dates or deadlines. Instead, it requires that Judge Robinson's decision be issued 'promptly.' Any appeal must be processed on an 'expedited basis.' However long (or short) the decision-making process may be, September 30 is the day the hearing will commence. Judge Robinson will preside. And Rice will be available to play until any discipline is finalized — by Robinson and then, if an appeal is filed, by the Commissioner or his designee.

1-year-old girl found dead in hearse was strangled by mom, Alabama cops say
A mom is accused of killing her 1-year-old daughter and leaving her body in a hearse outside an Alabama funeral home, according to authorities. Terica Pearl, 29, is now charged with capital murder, according to the Gadsden Police Department and Etowah County jail records. A young child was found dead in a vehicle outside the West Gadsden Funeral Home the morning of Aug. 9, police said in a news release. The funeral home's director, Dantez Robinson, went on Facebook Live to explain that he hadn't locked the hearse the night before. Then in the morning, the funeral home groundskeeper went to move the hearse when he noticed a dead toddler inside. 'He was just shocked,' Robinson said. The groundskeeper called him, and Robinson said he was in disbelief until he saw the scene for himself, then he called the police. Officers arrived and said they began investigating with 'little to no information to work from' at first. But less than 12 hours later, police arrested the child's mother, according to WBRC. She was booked in jail at around 2 a.m. Aug. 10. Court records revealed the 1-year-old had been strangled to death with a 'thick robe string,' reported. Robinson, who identified himself as the assistant coroner for Etowah County, said he's witnessed a lot of deaths as part of his job. 'But to see something like this, really sent me into another level of shock,' he said. Gadsden is about a 60-mile drive northeast from Birmingham.

Where is Amanda Knox now, as Disney Plus releases gripping true-crime drama about her fight for justice
It's a court case that dominated headlines at the time; the murder of British exchange student Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy with the courts initially finding her housemate Amanda Knox and her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito guilty of the heinous crime. Knox, who was just 20-years-old when facing a hefty 26 year jail sentence when she was wrongly convicted of murder in Italian court, immediately became catnip to salacious tabloid titles who thirstily followed the case and sensationalised any updates. She was branded as 'Foxy Knoxy', with Knox herself revealing she felt as if she was portrayed as a "dirty, psychopathic, man-eater" in the press. She spent years fighting for her freedom - and was acquitted in 2011 after an appeal, in which she immediately flew back to the US. While Knox was reconvicted in 2014 following a retrial, the Italian supreme court permanently exonerated her and Sollecito in 2015 - meaning her ordeal was finally over. After a brief hiatus from public life, Knox returned to the spotlight in 2016 to recount her fight for justice in the Netflix documentary Amanda Knox. Now, Knox's story will be retold in the hotly-anticipated Disney Plus drama The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, with the eight-part series allowing Knox to reclaim the narrative that was stolen from her. Nine Perfect Strangers star Grace Van Patten plays Knox, with the real Knox also serving as executive producer. Here, Cosmopolitan UK explores where Knox is now, and what she has accomplished now she has dedicated her life to miscarriages of justice. After finishing her undergraduate degree in creative writing at the University of Washington, Knox wrote a memoir about her fight for justice in 2013 titled Waiting to Be Heard, which became an instant bestseller. Knox released her second book, Free, in 2025, which details her 'quest for meaning'. Knox got engaged to Seattle-based author Christopher Robinson on November 21, 2018. The pair met at a book launch and officially started dating in late 2015. Apparently, Robinson barely knew who Knox was when they met. 'I was probably the only person at the party who didn't really know who she was,' he told People in 2017. 'I knew [about] Italy and some legal stuff and something that shouldn't have happened. But I didn't really know her story.' Meanwhile, Knox told People, 'I don't want to get married for the sake of getting married. My hope is that I have a partner with whom I can continue to take on the I very much love Chris and feel like he is my partner. And he would be a wonderful dad and we talk about it all the time.' After all the marriage talk, Knox and Robinson tied the knot literally a week after they got engaged. Their marriage certificate, which surfaced on the internet, revealed that they applied for the certificate in Kings County, Washington, on 1 December, 2018. This prompted Knox and Robinson to release a joint statement on their sci-fi-themed wedding website. 'We filed paperwork to be legally married in December of last year to simplify our taxes and insurance. But we have not yet celebrated our wedding with our loved ones,' the press release read. 'This is, frankly, no one's business but our own and should be no more shocking than the fact that we've been living together for years.' Knox and Robinson welcomed their daughter, Eureka Muse Knox-Robinson, in 2021 and their son, Echo Knox-Robinson, in September 2023. The family now lives in Seattle. Knox spends her time raising awareness about wrongful conviction in the judicial system, and she has returned to Italy on multiple occasions. In 2019, she headed back to Europe as the keynote speaker at a criminal justice conference hosted by the Italy Innocence Project. In 2023, she went back to Perugia to meet with the prosecutor in her initial court proceedings, Dr. Giuliano Mignini. Speaking to People magazine in 2025, Knox said of the meeting: "Forgiveness is a natural consequence of realising how fragile and precious another human is. I immediately sort of stepped into mom mode, and I was like, 'I'm not just forgiving you. I'm holding you. I care about you.' And that changed everything." In 2019, Knox hosted the podcast titled The Truth About True Crime, where—as she puts it—'we attempt to rehumanise others who have been singled out as true-crime fodder and elevate the standard for how we think and talk about those whose lives are thrust into the judicial and media spotlight.' She's also had her own series on Facebook Watch. In 2018, Knox hosted The Scarlet Letter Reports, which gave high-profile women who had faced the wrath of public judgement a chance to tell their side of the story.
