Family of teenage girl killed in Aurora shooting says violence must stop, shares compassion for accused shooter's family
The Colorado family of a 15-year-old killed in Aurora remembered the teen with a balloon release on Friday. K'tahna Smith was killed Sunday during a pop-up party that turned violent. Her mother, Cynthia Coleman, sat beside her daughter's cousins and siblings as they described the bright, loving teen who danced, played basketball, and dreamed of becoming a pediatrician. K'tahna Smith Smith Family "She was just so full of life," Coleman said. "She liked to dance, sing, laugh, joke, play around. She played basketball. She was on the dance team. They even made the news this year trying to raise money to go to a national competition." Family members described her as the "mom" of the group -- a protective and responsible teen who took care of those around her. Even in her final moments, she was trying to make sure her cousins were safe. "When she was running, she was yelling, 'Duck! Duck!' She wanted to make sure they were OK. That was just who she was," said her cousin. Coleman said K'tahna was present but not involved in the altercations shown in video provided by police. APD said these parties hosted "girl fight clubs." "She wasn't in those fights," Coleman said. "She was there, but she wasn't a violent person. She was probably the life of the party that night, getting everyone dancing. But she wasn't a fighter -- she defended herself when needed, but she wasn't a troublemaker." One of her cousins -- the 20-year-old also shot that night -- remains hospitalized. Another cousin, tearfully speaking through the pain, said K'tahna didn't deserve this. Smith Family "I really hate that she had to go through that, and I really miss her," she said. "It hurts so bad that people think it's funny. My cousin was kind, loving, and so friendly. You couldn't say anything bad about her." The family is heartbroken, adding that online bullies have mocked her death. "It's disgusting. These kids are laughing at her being dead," Coleman said. "To the parents of those kids -- please talk to your children. This could be anyone's child." Despite the devastating loss, the family has compassion to the accused shooter's family. "Our hearts and prayers go out to that family, too," said K'tahna's dad. "Nobody wins in this. They lost someone too in a different way." K'tahna had just started her first job and had been planning to return to basketball. She hoped to go to college and eventually work in pediatrics. Her mother says she was determined and good at anything she put her mind to. "She was beyond her years," Coleman said. "So mature for 15. My responsible one. She was team captain. She was everything." In the wake of her daughter's death, Coleman plans to start advocating against youth violence in Aurora, joining other parents who've lost children to senseless shootings. "I'm going to get out here, and I'm going to fight for our kids," she said. "For my baby." The family wants the community to remember K'tahna not for how she died, but how she lived. "She had a beautiful soul," one cousin said. "Her smile was contagious. You'd never forget her once you met her."

Seattle man charged with string of burglaries at the homes of NFL and MLB stars
SEATTLE (AP) — A Seattle man was charged Friday with a string of burglaries at the homes of prominent current and former football and baseball players, marking the latest example of well-known athletes being targeted in home thefts. Earl Henderson Riley IV, 21, was charged with several counts of residential burglary in both occupied and unoccupied homes, along with first-degree robbery, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. Prosecutors say Riley was the ringleader in a series of burglaries that started in February and involved stealing more than $6,000 in Louis Vuitton bags from Seattle Mariners pitcher Luis Castillo's home and over $194,000 in high end purses and jewelry from the home of the team's center fielder Julio Rodriguez. The thefts also involved taking several watches worth more than $100,000 from former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman's home and a burglary at the home of Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell, who is from Washington, although nothing was stolen in that instance, according to court documents. Prosecutors say there was also an attempted burglary at baseball Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez's home. 'All people deserve to feel safe in their homes, and our office will continue to hold people accountable for criminal behavior,' King County Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion said in a statement. There have been a slew of burglaries at the homes of well-known professional athletes across the U.S. in recent months. The players have been targeted because of the high-end products believed to be in their homes and sometimes the thefts happen when they are away with their teams for road games. The FBI has warned sports leagues about crime organizations targeting professional athletes. The NFL and NBA have also issued security alerts after burglaries at the homes of such star athletes as Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. In a memo obtained by The Associated Press in November, the NFL said the homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become 'increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.' Riley is being held in the King County Jail on $1 million bail. It was not immediately clear whether he has a lawyer. The King County Department of Public Defense did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press and a spokesperson from the prosecuting attorney's office did not know whether Riley had a lawyer. The charges were the result of a monthslong investigation in which the county's prosecuting attorney's office worked with six police jurisdictions. Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Gary Ernsdorff said in a statement that their work is not over. 'We still want to go and identify everybody who was involved and see if there are additional people that we can have sufficient evidence to charge,' he said. Riley is expected to enter his initial plea in court during his arraignment June 16. He has another pending case in King County Superior Court in which he is charged with attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle and unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree.

‘She Just Bought This Car': Mechanic Works on 2018 Ford Edge With 92,000 Miles, Then It Starts Misfiring
A mechanic working on a 2018 Ford Edge pointed out a problem with one of the engine's cylinders that he says is a very common issue. The automotive technician—who goes by CoryOnCars (@coryoncarsofficial) on TikTok—shared footage of himself diagnosing the car and carrying out the repairs. The mechanic informs viewers that the vehicle he's about to work on is a 2018 Ford Edge SEL with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. He adds that the car has 92,400 miles on it and that the current owner bought it less than six months ago. 'The reason she made an appointment is because it's running rough, especially [at] first start in the morning. It smokes a little bit on first startup. It's got a check engine light on. It's got low coolant,' he explains. 'Now if you know anything about these 2.0-liter Ecoboost engines, they have some internal issues on the cylinders, and they like to seep coolant into the cylinders. That's why we got low coolant here. That's why we got the misfire on startup and smoking on cold start,' he says. After running a scanner to retrieve the diagnostic code, the mechanic says it appears to be a 'P0316 misfire detected on start-up.' CoryOnCars adds that this is typical of the other Ford Edges he's diagnosed. According to him, the problem usually lies with cylinder two. Coolant Leak Diagnosis CoryOnCars explains that there are two different ways to check the engine cylinders for leaking coolant. 'We can either pressurize our cylinder and watch our coolant bottle rise up with coolant, or we can pressurize our cooling system and watch down inside the cylinder with a borescope, and find coolant seeping into the cylinder,' he explains. The mechanic says he's going to start with the borescope method on cylinder two. He starts on cylinder two because he says it's been the problem cylinder on every other Ford he's worked on. After inserting the scope, the mechanic starts looking around the cylinder. He then pressurizes the cooling system and waits 20 minutes to re-check the cylinders. The mechanic quickly finds what he's looking for. He says cylinder one shows a tiny leak, while cylinder two has a considerable amount of coolant pooling on the pistons. He locates the origin of the leak in the head gasket seam. 'Yeah, unfortunately, this cylinder is crying and the owner probably is going be too,' he says, adding that people pay a lot of money for their cars and that manufacturing standards aren't what they used to be. He then runs the second test by pressurizing the cylinders and checking the coolant level. When it starts to rise, the mechanic confirms that there is an internal engine chamber combustion issue. Is Buying a Used Ford Edge a Worthwhile Investment? CoryOnCars claims that the problem he found on the Ford Edge was fairly common. After diagnosing the car, he even says that he's going to recommend the owner take it back to Ford to see if they would do some sort of 'goodwill recall.' But according to Kelley Blue Book , the 2018 Ford Edge has retained about 47% of its value over the past three years. This indicates that the vehicle holds its value better than many of its competitors. In addition to holding its value, the car offers a comfortable ride, spacious interior, and a suite of standard features, making it an appealing option for families and commuters alike. When buying a used Ford Edge, or any other car for that matter, it's important to get a comprehensive vehicle history report and consider performing a pre-purchase inspection. If the vehicle has been well-maintained and doesn't have a history of engine troubles, a Ford Edge offers good value as a used car. Viewers React The video from CoryOnCars received 651,600 views. Many of the comments reflect the reputation Ford has seemingly built up for unreliable engines. 'When you said '2018 Ford Edge' I immediately went 'That engine is toast,'' one user wrote. 'All you had to say was '4 cal turbo' and I knew what the problem was,' another wrote. 'What's even more messed up, it's a manufacturing defect and they know about it and issued a TSB, but won't make it right,' someone else complained. Several fans of Cory also asked if he would consider conducting online classes to teach others more about the basics of car maintenance. Motor1 reached out to Cory via TikTok direct message and to Ford via email for further information. We'll be sure to update this article if we hear back.
