Landlord convicted of killing Palestinian American boy dies in custody

Washington Post27-07-2025
An Illinois landlord convicted of fatally stabbing a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy and severely wounding his mother in a hate crime has died in custody, just months after he was sentenced to 53 years in prison.
Joseph Czuba was convicted in February of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery and two counts of a hate crime for the October 2023 attack that sent shock waves through the nation. It took place just a week after Hamas's deadly Oct. 7 attack into Israel.

St. Paul police recover Suni Lee sculpture plaque, but bust still missing

Police in St. Paul are still looking for the thief who stole a sculpture meant to honor a hometown hero. Officials say someone stole the bronze bust of Olympic gymnast Suni Lee from Phalen Regional Park last week. On Monday, police confirmed they had pulled the granite plaque from a nearby lake. The artist behind the statue is Seexeng Lee, one of Suni Lee's family members. He says the theft happened on the two-year anniversary of the bust's unveiling. "What are the odds?" said Seexeng Lee. "Then when the photo got to me my jaw dropped. I'm like, no, can it be?" Seexeng Lee had worked in secret to surprise Suni Lee with the piece two years ago. He hoped the statue would spark pride in the east side community she came from. "I try so hard to to use art as a vehicle to capture that essence of community through Suni, and that's why it hurts when it's like no this piece is about Suni but it's not just about her it's about us," he said. Seexeng Lee has ideas for what could come next. But he's still holding out hope police will find the original. "I think all of us are still hoping for full recovery and nothing's damaged to it and we could put it back and make it better than before," he said. St. Paul police are asking if anyone saw something to give them a call. Note: The above video first aired on Aug. 1, 2025.
