Prosecutors to seek death penalty for man accused of killing 2 police officers in Utah
TREMONTON, Utah (AP) — Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty for a man accused of fatally shooting two police officers in northern Utah last weekend, according to new court documents. Ryan Michael Bate faces 20 charges, including two counts of capital murder, for the deaths of Sgt. Lee Sorensen and Officer Eric Estrada. The Box Elder County Attorney's Office filed a notice to the court late Wednesday that they plan to seek the death penalty for Bate. Police say Bate, 30, killed the officers from the Tremonton-Garland Police Department with a high-powered rifle while they were responding to a domestic disturbance call at his home. Bate's wife had called 911 and hung up multiple times to get help after Bate 'slammed her head with a door, and grabbed her by the throat and pushed her against the wall,' according to charging documents. She later told police he had repeatedly threatened to kill her. Box Elder County sheriff's deputy Mike Allred and his police K-9 Azula, a 3-year-old Belgian Malinois, arrived at the scene as backup and were injured in the shooting. Bystanders persuaded Bate to drop the gun and he was taken into custody. Bate was arrested last year on aggravated assault and domestic violence charges that were later dismissed, according to court records. He was charged late Wednesday with several counts of assault and domestic violence, in addition to the murder and attempted murder charges. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told reporters on Thursday that he thinks it is appropriate for prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case. An attorney was not listed for Bate in court documents Thursday.

5 teens arrested for hate crimes stemming from Simi Valley brawl
The Simi Valley Police Department arrested five teens for hate crimes nearly three weeks after a brawl outside of a local movie theater. Investigators said two groups of teens, who had previous altercations in the past, fought outside the Regal Plaza on Aug. 1. Simi Valley police added that several racial slurs were shouted during the brawl. Two of the teens sustained minor injuries, including a possible concussion, chipped tooth, cuts and abrasions. Earlier this month, investigators said one of the juveniles is a relative of a Simi Valley police officer. They assured the community that the relationship would have "no bearing on the investigation." Simi Valley police referred the case to the Ventura County District Attorney's Office on Aug. 20 and recommended prosecutors charge the teens with assault and criminal conspiracy, in addition to the hate crime. The department said that serious or violent cases involving juveniles require a mandatory referral to the District Attorney's Office. Additionally, cases with any indication of racial undertones or discriminatory treatment are automatically referred to the District Attorney's Office. Prosecutors will review the case before filing formal charges. Juvenile confidentiality laws prohibit authorities from releasing the suspects' names or identifying information.
