Early Wednesday morning, around 2 a.m., Logan City Police officers were dispatched to a reported domestic dispute. When they arrived, they found that it was more serious, and that it was an aggravated burglary and assault, according to documents.
Guvench and Friedli allegedly knocked on the door, and when the victim answered, they forced their way into the house. One woman covered the victim's nose and mouth while the other 'struck the victim repeatedly in the face with closed fists.'
The two dragged the victim outside and onto the lawn, where they continued to physically attack her. The victim's boyfriend heard screaming and came outside. He pulled the two women off the victim and recognized one as a family member and the other as his soon-to-be ex-wife. Guvench and Friedli then fled the scene before police arrived.

Police officers went to Friedli's residence in North Logan and knocked on the door. When Friedli answered, she allegedly had blood on her wrist and scrapes on her legs. She was wearing clothes matching the description given by witnesses, and her shirt had dirt on it.
When officers asked about Guvench, Friedli said that she was traveling home to Idaho and was not in the residence. According to documents, police could see a woman matching Guvench's description through the closed blinds.
Friedli was placed under arrest, at which point she allegedly told police Guvench was inside and that officers could go in. She led them inside and asked Guvench to come downstairs. Guvench was observed to have blood on her shirt and dirt markings on her clothes.
Both Friedli and Guvench were placed under arrest and transported to the Cache County Jail.

'Watch Me' Rapper Silentó Sentenced to 30 Years for Killing His Cousin

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Silentó, the rapper behind the 2015 hit song "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)," was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Wednesday after pleading guilty but mentally ill to voluntary manslaughter and other charges relating to the shooting death of his cousin. Why It Matters Richard Lamar "Ricky" Hawk, who utilizes the stage name Silentó, was accused of fatally shooting his cousin, 34-year-old Frederick Rooks III, in 2021 in Decatur, Georgia. The 27-year-old was initially charged with malice murder, but it was downgraded to voluntary manslaughter as part of the plea agreement. A felony murder charge was dropped. Hawk also pleaded guilty but mentally ill to aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and concealing the death of another, the DeKalb County District Attorney's Office announced in a news release.

Photo by Drew Gurian/Invision/AP, File What To Know The DeKalb County Police Department responded to a report of a person shot at around 3:37 a.m. on January 21, 2021. Officers found Rooks suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. EMS arrived at the scene and confirmed that he was deceased. A family member of the victim told officials that Rooks was last seen with Hawk, who had picked Rooks up from a friend's house in a white BMW SUV. Security camera footage from a home near the crime scene showed a white BMW SUV fleeing the area at a high rate of speed minutes after shots were fired. Hawk was taken into custody on February 1, 2021. He admitted to shooting Rooks in an interview with investigators. Ballistics testing revealed that the bullets found at the scene matched the gun found on Hawk at the time of his arrest. GPS data obtained by officials also showed Hawk's BMW at the scene around the time of the shooting. Chanel Hudson-O'Connor, Hawk's publicist, said he wanted to thank those who shared their support during this "incredibly difficult" time. "Ricky wants his family, fans, and supporters to know that he is deeply sorry for the pain and disappointment he has caused," Hudson-O'Connor said in a statement posted on Instagram. Hawk released "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" on SoundCloud in 2015, drawing inspiration from hip-hop dance trends such as the Whip, the Nae Nae, and the Stanky Leg. The song went viral on YouTube and Vine, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. Hawk was arrested in 2020 in Santa Ana, California, on a domestic violence charge, then released. The Los Angeles Police Department charged him with assault with a deadly weapon the next day after the rapper allegedly entered the wrong home while looking for his girlfriend and swung a hatchet at two people. Later that year, he was arrested in DeKalb County after officials said they detected him driving 143 miles per hour on Interstate 85. He was later released. What People Are Saying Chanel Hudson-O'Connor, in a statement posted on Instagram: "We kindly ask the public to continue praying for all parties involved—especially Ricky—as he continues to battle severe mental health challenges." Richard Lamar "Ricky" Hawk, in a statement shared by Hudson-O'Connor: "I can't reverse time, but I can serve the time I've been given lawfully, and strive to positively contribute to whatever my new environment may be." What Happens Next DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Courtney Johnson, who presided over the plea hearing, sentenced Hawk to 30 years in prison. Hawk has been held at the DeKalb County Jail since his arrest, and he will receive credit for time served. The Georgia Department of Corrections is responsible for evaluating and treating Hawk's mental health as he serves his sentence, according to state law.

Platinum-selling rapper gets 30 years in prison for killing cousin in 2021

Silentó, the rapper known for his 2015 smash single 'Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae),' was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the murder of his cousin in Georgia four years ago. DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Courtney Johnson sentenced Silentó, 27, on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to charges of voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and concealing the death of another in connection with the shooting death of his 34-year-old cousin, Frederick Rooks III, on Jan. 21, 2021. A felony murder charge was dropped, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The shooting occurred at the intersection of Deep Shoals Circle and Corners Crossing in Panthersville, Georgia, around 3:37 a.m., according to the Office of the DeKalb County District Attorney. Responding officers found Rooks suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Ten bullet casings were found near his body as well, investigators discovered. Several neighbors told authorities they heard gunshots that night while a white BMW SUV was caught leaving the scene a few minutes after the gunfire. One of Rooks' family members told police that he was last seen with his cousin, who had picked Rooks up from a friend's home in a white BMW SUV. Silentó, whose real name is Ricky Lamar Hawk, was arrested on Feb. 1, 2021. After his arrest, Hawk's publicist at the time, Chanel Hudson, said the rapper had been dealing with mental health issues. 'Please send my client Silentó some positive vibrations,' Hudson wrote in an Instagram post at the time. 'Over the past several years, Ricky has been suffering immensely from a series of mental illnesses. We will continue in his efforts of treatment, but we ask in the meantime the public [to] uplift him and his family in immediate prayer & positive energy,' Hudson wrote. 'Ricky is a beautiful soul, and we hope that the same people who came up whippin' and nay naying with him, continue to support him and lifted in prayer. God bless.' The rapper admitted to shooting Rooks during an interview with investigators, the district attorney's office said. In addition, the bullet casings found at the crime scene matched the gun found in Hawk's possession at the time of his arrest. GPS data for Hawk's white BMW SUV also placed the vehicle at the scene of the killing. Hawk has been in custody at the DeKalb County Jail since his arrest. It is unclear where he will serve his sentence.

Man dies weeks after scooter crash in Stamford

A man who was seriously injured during a crash in Stamford last month while he was riding a stand-up scooter has died, police said. Christian Dinamarca, 46, was pronounced dead on Wednesday after spending the last few weeks in a hospital following a crash on May 29, according to Sgt. Jeffrey Booth of the Stamford Police Department. The collision was reported in the 100 block of Hope Street at 10:59 p.m. when officers responded to the area and found Dinamarca suffering from serious injuries that were initially not believed to be life-threatening, Booth previously said. He was taken in an ambulance to Stamford Hospital. According to Booth, Dinamarca's condition worsened over the past two weeks before he succumbed to his injuries on Wednesday evening. Investigators believe Dinamarca was struck while riding a stand-up scooter heading north on Hope Street. He was hit by a 2011 BMW that was also headed north and was being driven by a 17-year-old Stamford resident, Booth said. The collision caused Dinamarca to be thrown from his scooter and onto the road. He was wearing a helmet, Booth previously said. The scooter was heavily damaged and broken into several pieces. The driver of the BMW initially left the area and parked not far away, according to Booth. He walked back to the scene where he spoke to police about the crash. The crash remains under investigation. No charges have been filed. Anyone with information has been asked to contact the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Squad at 203-977-4712.
