The backstory
A criminal complaint states officers arrived at the scene and found the victim lying in the street. He was taken to a hospital where he later died. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as 27-year-old Kingsley Ike and determined he died as a result of two stab wounds.
Court filings said Anslem Ike was also at the scene when officers arrived. Some citizens said Ike "stood by them and admitted that he had stabbed" his brother. Officers then arrested Ik and found a knife nearby, which he said was used in the stabbing.
Following his arrest, Milwaukee police detectives interviewed Ike. Prosecutors said he "admitted" to stabbing his brother, who had punched him twice during a fight.
The fight stemmed from a dispute over damage to a television, according to court filings. Ike said he had confronted his brother about the damage and poked his brother's speakers with a knife. When the victim didn't react, Ike said he poured water onto the victim's Xbox, and that's when the fight started.

WhatsApp Issues Urgent iPhone Countdown: Chats Stop In 24 Hours On These Phones
WhatsApp is ending support for a series of Apple and Android devices, beginning on Sunday, June 1. It had been thought the change would come early in June, but the respite is over. Here's the list of iPhones affected and what it means. Apple iPhones with older software are about to lose access to WhatsApp. If you have an iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, then first of all congratulations for holding out against the pressure to upgrade. But, secondly, commiserations, because your phone won't work with WhatsApp any more. That's because you need to have an iPhone that runs iOS 15.1 and later, and those phones can't handle software newer than iOS 14. If you want to continue to use WhatsApp, you'll need a newer iPhone (or iPad, now it's finally arrived on Apple's tablets). Android users are fine, providing your phone can run Android OS 5.0 and newer. The new software requirements have been announced by WhatsApp and the explanation is that 'Devices and software change often, so we regularly review what operating systems we support and make updates. Every year we look at which devices and software are the oldest and have the fewest users. These devices also might not have the latest security updates, or might lack the functionality required to run WhatsApp,' it says. To be fair to WhatsApp, support is only vanishing for iPhones that first went on sale more than 10 years ago, and which weren't sold by Apple for the last six years. And note the phrase 'Every year,' which tells us that if you have any iPhone newer than that, you're safe until next year at least. As noted by 9to5Mac, it had been reported that other iPhones would also be struck off, namely iPhone 16s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone SE 1st generation. However, this doesn't seem to be the case, providing, of course, you have updated the phone's software to later than iOS 15.1. This shouldn't be a problem as those phones are compatible with every version of iOS 15, including the recent iOS 15.8.1, a security update released a few weeks ago on March 31, 2025.

These Settings Could Save Your Aging Android From the Junk Drawer
My Android phone's a few years old, and while it doesn't have the flashiest camera or thinnest design anymore, it still handles everything I need day to day. I used to think I'd have to upgrade just to get the newest features, but that's not the case. Thanks to long-term software support from companies like Google and Samsung, older phones can still get a lot of love. And with the right tweaks, I've managed to seriously boost my phone's performance without spending a dime. Before you start shopping for a new device, try a few of these tips. You might be surprised at how much better your phone can run with just a few small changes. It's true: Whether you have a Samsung Galaxy, Motorola or OnePlus phone, it's likely that you can still optimize your battery life and give your phone a new lease on life by making a few easy adjustments. Note that there might be some differences between Android devices, and phone manufacturers often put their own software on top of Android. Certain settings may be missing or in a different place, depending on the version of Android you're running and the maker of your phone. Need more Android tips? Check out these five tips to make your Android feel like new again and how to use Android's AI circle to search features. An overly bright display will drain your battery incredibly fast. Óscar Gutiérrez/CNET Settings to improve your battery life Living with a phone that has poor battery life can be infuriating, but there are some steps you can take to maximize each charge right from the very beginning: 1. Turn off auto screen brightness or adaptive brightness and set the brightness level slider to under 50%. The brighter your screen, the more battery power it uses. To get to the setting, pull down the shortcut menu from the top of the screen and adjust the slider, if it's there. Some phones may have a toggle for auto brightness in the shortcut panel; otherwise, you need to open the settings app and search for "brightness" to find the setting and turn it off. 2. Use Adaptive Battery and Battery Optimization. These features focus on learning how you use your phone, including which apps you use and when, and then optimizing the apps and the amount of battery they use. Some Android phones will have a dedicated Battery section in the Settings app, while other phones (looking at you, Samsung) bury these settings. It's a little different for each phone. I recommend opening your settings and searching for "battery" to find the right screen. Your phone may also have an adaptive charging setting that can monitor how quickly your phone battery charges overnight to preserve its health. Why you should use dark mode more often Another way to improve battery life while also helping save your eyes is to use Android's dedicated dark mode. Any Android phone running Android 10 or newer will have a dedicated dark mode option. According to Google, dark mode not only reduces the strain that smartphone displays cause on our eyes but also improves battery life because it takes less power to display dark backgrounds on OLED displays (used in most flagship phones) than a white background. Depending on which version of Android your phone is running, and what company made your phone, you may have to dig around the settings app to find a dark mode. If your phone runs Android 10 or newer, you'll be able to turn on systemwide dark mode. If it runs Android 9, don't despair. Plenty of apps have their own dark mode option in the settings that you can use whether or not you have Android 10. To turn it on dark mode, open the Settings app and search for Dark Mode, Dark Theme or even Night Mode (as Samsung likes to call it). I suggest using dark mode all the time, but if you're not sure, you can always set dark mode to automatically turn on based on a schedule, say from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. every day, or allow it to automatically switch based on your location at the time of sunset and sunrise. Using dark mode on any phone is an easy and good-looking way to save battery life. CNET Keep your home screen free of clutter Planning to hit up the Google Play Store for a bunch of new Android apps? Be prepared for a lot of icon clutter on your home screen, which is where shortcuts land every time you install something. If you don't want that, there's a simple way out of this: Long-press on an empty area of your home screen and tap Settings. Find the option labeled something along the lines of Add icon to Home Screen or Add new apps to Home Screen and turn it off. Presto -- No more icons on the home screen when you install new apps. You can still add shortcuts by dragging an app's icon out of the app drawer, but they won't appear on your home screen unless you want them to.

Android offers a Do Not Disturb mode that will keep the phone more or less silent during designated hours. On some phones, this is referred to as the Downtime setting or even Quiet Time. Head to Settings > Sounds (or Notifications), then look for Do Not Disturb or a similar name. If you can't find it, search for it using the built-in search feature in your settings. Using the feature, you can set up a range of hours when you want to turn off the digital noise. Don't worry, any notifications you get while Do Not Disturb is turned on will still be waiting for you when you wake up. Also, you can typically make an exception that allows repeat callers and favorite contacts' calls to go through. Turn that on. If someone is calling you in an emergency, odds are they are going to keep trying. What someone who finds a lost or stolen Android phone will see after you use Find My Device to lock it. Jason Cipriani/CNET Always be prepared in case you lose your phone or it's stolen Is there anything worse than a lost or stolen phone? Only the knowledge that you could have tracked it down if you had turned on Google's Find My Device feature. To set yourself up for a successful recovery, here's what you need to do: Open the Settings app and then search for Find My Device. It's usually in the Security section of the Settings app. Or if you have a Samsung device, you can use Samsung's Find My Mobile service found in Settings > Biometrics and security > Find My Mobile. Once that's enabled, you can head to from any PC or mobile device and sign in to your account. Samsung users can visit to find a lost phone. Losing a phone is never a fun experience. Angela Lang/CNET If you run into any trouble setting any of this up, be sure to read through our complete guide to finding a lost Android phone. Assuming your phone is on and online, you should be able to see its location on a map. From there you can make it ring, lock it, set a lock screen note to tell whoever has it how to get it back to you or, worst-case scenario, remotely wipe the whole thing. And always keep your phone up to date As obvious as it may seem, bugs and other issues slowing down your Android device could potentially be fixed with a simple software update. Before you download and install the latest software update, make sure your device is connected to Wi-Fi, or else this won't work. Now, open the Settings application and type in Update. You'll then either see Software update or System update -- choose either one. Then just download the software, wait for a few minutes and install it when it's ready. Your Android device will reboot and install the latest software update available. Always keep your phone updated to the latest software to avoid bugs and other issues.

Android's iPhone-like instant hotspot is no longer a secret feature
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority For years now, we Android fans have been a bit jealous of Apple's Continuity features and seamless integration across its ecosystem of devices. The best one of the bunch is the instant hotspot, where you don't have to manually set up a hotspot to share your data connection with your secondary phone or tablet when they're nearby — it just works . You might not know, though, that Android has had this same feature since last September. It rolled out as part of a new 'Cross-device services' menu, which came to many Android phones in a Play System update. If none of these words mean anything to you, you're not alone. Everyone I've talked to about it — including several tech journalists and nerdy friends — had no idea about this secret Android instant hotspot option, nor how to enable it. But that's changing now. You no longer need to be a tech wizard to delve into Settings > Google > All services > Cross-device services > Next > and more to set it up, because Google has finally decided to turn it on by default when you set up a new Android phone. What happens when you set up a new Android phone Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I noticed this change when I was setting up a new phone, the realme GT 7 Dream Edition. But this isn't limited to realme, and it should be the case with most new Android phones from any brand going forward. After I was done signing in with my Google account on the phone, I received a notification on my main device, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, informing me that a new phone can now share with me. The notification came from Cross-device services and said that my new realme phone can now 'find this [Pixel] device and share things like video calls.' Ah, Google, why are you hiding the ball like that and not mentioning the hotspot? I delved into Cross-device services on my realme and, of course, they were already turned on, signed into my account, added to my device group, and both current features — call casting and instant hotspot — were on, even though I hadn't manually enabled them when setting up the phone. So finally, after many months of a slow rollout and a silly phase where these had to be turned on by the user (check the screenshots above to see the obscure way to turn it on), Google has decided it's time to graduate these features and just enable them for everyone. You can turn them off, of course, but the gist is that no one will have to dig that deep into obscure settings to discover that this option exists. What happens when you don't have a data connection Rita El Khoury / Android Authority With that done, it was time to put this to the test. I went out with my Pixel 9 Pro XL and realme GT 7; the former has my SIM card and complete data access, the latter doesn't have any connection besides my home's Wi-Fi. After walking away from my Wi-Fi for a few minutes, I took out the realme and tried to use it. It took a few seconds for the 'Use your phone's hotspot' pop-up to show up, but it did. I tapped it, and just like that, the phone turned on my Pixel 9 Pro XL's hotspot and connected to it without me having to even take my Pixel out of my pocket. No password set up or entry, to manual connections, nothing. It worked perfectly. Throughout the day, I kept using the realme phone, and each time I needed a connection, I could instantly grab it from my Pixel without fussing with anything besides that one notification. And this is what Android users who set up a new Android phone will soon experience: an option that's turned on by default and a notification to use their nearby phone's data when they're using a secondary, data-less, phone or tablet. As long as the two devices share the same Google account and are near each other, this should work seamlessly. Some caveats to keep in mind Rita El Khoury / Android Authority So, Apple Continuity-like features are live on Android now, and all's good in the world? Well, yes and no. I have to mention a couple of caveats that I can't test in my current setup. First, I suspect that your primary device will need to have Cross-device services enabled (i.e., you need to do it manually). If not, your secondary device will be enrolled, but it won't have any phone to share with/from. So, most normal Android users won't discover the instant hotspot or cross-device sharing until they have set up at least two new phones. Second, I think the auto-enrollment in Cross-device services will only work when the new phone you're trying to set up ships with a specific minimum version of Play Services out of the box. So if you buy a Galaxy S25, for example, it's unlikely this will happen on your phone. But if you go for the S25 Edge, you have a better chance of getting it. With time, though, all newer Android phones should ship with a Play Services version that turns this on by default out of the box. And finally, the eagle eyes among you might've noticed that the first notification I received mentioned 'find this device.' If you got excited, thinking that Google is now turning on the Find My Device Network by default and enrolling phones in it, don't. I made the same mistake, but I noticed that the 'Find your offline devices' setting was still disabled on the GT 7. Only 'Allow device to be located' was enabled. I reached out to Google, asking for clarification, and was told that, like all Android phones, this notification was simply telling me that I can now locate the phone based on its reported last-known location. Doesn't mean it's part of the network, contributing in all areas, or can be found by nearby Android phones acting as part of a big Bluetooth network. This was a bit of a letdown, but I suppose Google is sticking to its guns when it comes to privacy and Find My Device / Find Hub. You have to opt in and pick the level of privacy you're willing to give away; otherwise, it's off. Still, I'm very excited about the instant hotspot feature rolling out by default to more devices and users. It's one of the most seamless experiences I've had between two Android phones and I want more users to benefit from it without having to dig in to opt into it.
