Florida man accused of killing girlfriend, staging murder scene while their children slept: police
A Florida man was arrested in the murder of his girlfriend, who deputies say he allegedly shot and killed while their three children were in bed with her, then staged the crime as a home invasion.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office released a video showing the arrest of 32-year-old Saun Rainge Jr., who was charged in the January 2024 murder of his girlfriend, 30-year-old Porshe Nikita Shanee Streeter.
Another man, 26-year-old Benjamin Garmon, was also previously arrested as an accomplice to the murder and is being held in the Seminole County Jail, according to arrest reports.
Officials said Streeter was shot multiple times while she slept in bed with her three children Jan. 23, 2024. Deputies said none of the children, ages 10, 2 and 1, were injured in the shooting.

When they arrived at the apartment, officials said they found Streeter and Rainge with gunshot wounds, FOX 35 reported.

Officials said Streeter was pronounced dead at the home, and Rainge was transported to a hospital for a gunshot wound to his arm.
Rainge told investigators he stopped by the apartment to check on his family, but claimed a person walked in and shot them.
Streeter was shot 10 times, according to an arrest affidavit. Rainge allegedly left her lifeless body for hours while he enlisted Garmon's help to make his story stand.

Officials said the two arranged for Garmon to shoot Rainge in the arm to stage the murder as a home invasion before calling 911 for help.
"Rainge, the father of those children, enlisted Garmon to shoot and kill Porshe and claimed it was a home invasion," officials said. "Rainge's story didn't right true for our homicide detectives, who have worked tirelessly on this case for more than a year to secure justice for Porshe."
An arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 35 revealed the couple's "toxic" relationship, referencing reports of domestic abuse and infidelity. Testimony from friends, as well as photographic evidence, also confirmed reports of issues in the relationship.
Authorities told FOX 35 they believe Rainge shot Streeter because she would not give him full custody of the children and was hiding money from him.Original article source: Florida man accused of killing girlfriend, staging murder scene while their children slept: police

Bondi says violent LA protesters will face federal charges
At least nine people are facing federal charges for their involvement in protests against immigration enforcement in Los Angeles, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Monday. Demonstrators face charges for attacking police with Molotov cocktails, looting and spitting on law enforcement, Bondi said in a TV interview. 'We are going to prosecute them federally,' she said in an interview on Fox News. 'If California won't protect their law enforcement, we will protect the LAPD and the sheriff's office out there.' Sporadic but at times raucous protests broke out in several parts of the Los Angeles area in recent days, prompting President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troops and Marines despite the fact that Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the additional forces were not needed. Bondi said the Trump administration planned to take a hard line against demonstrators. 'You spit on a federal law enforcement officer no more,' she said. 'As President Trump said, you spit. we hit. Get ready. If you spit on a federal law enforcement officer, we are going to charge you with a crime federally. You are looking at up to five years maximum in prison.' Those charged already include David Huerta, president of the Service Employees International Union California, who was injured and arrested while protesting the arrest of workers in downtown Los Angeles. He was released Monday from federal custody on a $50,000 bond. The Trump administration's decisive treatment of demonstrators — and the president's focus on punishing those who assault police officers — stands in contrast to his sweeping pardons for roughly 1,500 people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, seeking to overturn the election. Trump has deployed up to 4,000 soldiers from the California National Guard to help quell the demonstrations over the protests of Newsom and Bass — who say the moves are worsening tensions. The state has sued to reverse the deployments. The White House also ordered 700 Marines to join the National Guard, though it's unclear exactly what role they will play. The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Monday evening that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to direct military forces to arrest 'lawbreakers.' DHS did not immediately respond to request for comment from POLITICO, and the Department of Defense declined to comment on the story. 'You can run, you can't hide,' Bondi told Fox. 'We are coming after you federally. If you assault a police officer, if you rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on a police officer, we are coming after you.'
