Teen murdered in Brickell high-rise was stabbed to death as he slept, Miami police say
A teen who was murder over the weekend at a Brickell luxury high-rise was stabbed to death as he slept, according to new information released by Miami police. Sunday morning, around 2 a.m., officers were sent to the Icon Brickell complex, at 485 Brickell Avenue, after police received word of a stabbing. In an apartment on the 34th floor, they found the body of 17-year-old Dominic Ferrell. Stabbing suspect found dead nearby Investigators reviewed surveillance tape video, which showed one man running away from the building, according to police. SWAT officers searched a nearby building still under construction and found the suspect dead. He's been identified as 26-year-old Kyrill R. Kehl. "The suspect leaves the apartment building and goes across the street to a construction site and goes at least 100 to 200 feet and then jumps or falls to his death," Miami police Officer Michael Vega said. What led to the stabbing According to police, Kehl loitered in the lobby for a while before getting on an elevator. "We know the suspect was in the lobby for a bit before some residents went on the elevator. He tagged along with them and went up to the 40 something floor and knocked on several doors and tried to open the doors. He eventually goes down to the 34th floor and goes to the victim's door. He then goes to the bedroom where the 17 year old is sleeping and stabs him to death," Vega said. Investigators said another person was also asleep in the apartment where Ferrell was killed. According to police, Kehl arrived in South Florida from Arizona two days before the stabbing. He was not staying at the Brickell complex. Investigators are trying to piece together what led to the stabbing. "We know there may have been some mental health issues probably leading to this but until we get toxicology results we will not know what was in his system," Vega said. He added that Kehl and Ferrel were strangers. "We know for a fact that they did not know each other. They were strangers and this guy was just going from apartment to apartment, opening and knocking on doors, so again it is very important to lock your doors and do not open them to strangers," Vega said.

2 sentenced for violent crime spree, murder in Maryland
Two people were sentenced to years in prison for a violent crime spree that started with the murder of a teen and spanned several Maryland counties, according to the Attorney General's Office. Jordan Moses, 18, of Anne Arundel County, was sentenced to 45 years in prison, and Takala Robinson, 22, of Baltimore, was sentenced to 25 years. Their charges stemmed from a long-term investigation into a violent criminal organization that operates in Baltimore, Anne Arundel and Worcester counties, along with Washington, D.C., Attorney General Anthony Brown said. Maryland violent crime spree Court officials said Moses and Robinson's crime spree began in June 2022 with three shootings in 17 hours. The group, which allegedly included juveniles, committed murder before traveling to Ocean City, Maryland, where they committed several armed robberies, according to officials. An investigation found that Moses and Robinson were responsible for the murder of 17-year-old Anthony Johnson, a Glen Burnie student who was killed on June 1, 2022. A few weeks after the murder, Moses and Robinson traveled to Ocean City, where they committed three armed robberies over several days. Both Moses and Robsinson were arrested the following day in Baltimore County. A handgun that was recovered from Moses proved to be consistent with the one used in other crimes committed by the organization, court officials said. Moses was also found to have property that was taken from robbery victims in Ocean City, according to officials. In December 2024, Robinson pleaded guilty to participating in a criminal organization, conspiracy to commit murder and armed robbery. Moses pleaded guilty in January 2025 to participating in a criminal organization, first-degree murder and armed robbery. "This shocking and senseless string of serious crimes traumatized victims and claimed a young man's life, sobering reminders of the devastating damage caused by violent criminal organizations armed with illegal guns," AG Brown said. Crime concerns in Baltimore While crime rates are down to historic levels in Baltimore, juvenile crime continues to be a concern. As of June, the city has recorded a 23.6% drop in homicides, reporting 55 cases so far this year compared to 72 for the same time in 2024. Other crimes, like non-fatal shootings, arson and carjackings are also down compared to 2024. However, on June 3, Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley told WJZ that shoplifting cases are up. He said a small number of juveniles are causing the problem. "We can't continue to put them out there because what's going to happen, we're going to have a tragic event with one of these young people trying to commit a crime and someone who has an open carry permit or whatever it is, they're going to end up getting shot," Worley said. Amid the dip in crime, city leaders have turned their attention to juveniles as the summer begins. In April, Mayor Brandon Scott revealed his Summer Youth Engagement Strategy, an effort to reduce juvenile violence by giving young people activities to participate in when school is out. According to the mayor, the strategy led to a 66% drop in shooting victims and a 31% drop in aggravated assault victims in 2024. Other leaders, like Baltimore City State's Attorney Ivan Bates, plan to tackle the issue of juvenile crime through the justice system. In May, Bates released a plan to tackle youth violence in the city by focusing on accountability and collaboration with departments. His plan includes a new prosecution diversion program, which allows individuals facing certain charges to avoid prosecution and instead participate in a supervised program.

GOP lawmaker demands accountability for LAPD's delayed response time helping assaulted ICE officers
FIRST ON FOX: California GOP Congressman Darrell Issa is calling for an investigation into allegations that the Los Angeles Police Department did not promptly respond to protect ICE officers being assaulted as violence broke out in the city on Friday night. Issa, who represents California's 48th Congressional District and is a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a press release Tuesday he is calling for a "full and complete Congressional investigation" into the response time of the LAPD assisting the ICE officers who, according to a press release from DHS, waited for two hours for assistance. "Last night, over 1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer funded property," DHS said in a press release on Saturday, referring to the previous night when violence broke out in Los Angeles in response to the ICE raids. "It took the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) 2 hours to respond." LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell, who quickly put out a press release Friday reassuring the public that the department does not participate in immigration activities, pushed back against DHS' claim in a Sunday press conference. "When we heard that, I think anybody who's a police officer couldn't believe it, and certainly anyone with LAPD couldn't imagine how that could happen," McDonnell said to reporters. "Well, it didn't happen." McDonnell claimed that the actual response time was 40 minutes due to traffic. In a statement to Fox News Digital on Monday, Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stood by the department's original claim. "The fact remains that it took the Los Angeles Police Department two hours to respond," McLaughlin said. "During that time, over 1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer funded property. DHS is grateful that now the LAPD is stepping up to help restore law and order." Fox News Digital reached out to the LAPD for comment. Issa said in a statement regarding his call for investigation that, "We need to know if the political leadership of the City of Los Angeles, the State of California, or anyone else instructed the LAPD to stand down and not respond to the emergency requests of our ICE agents who were under attack by rioters determined to block them, burn them, or even kill them as they bravely carried out their sworn duties." Democratic leadership in California has faced widespread criticism from conservatives for blaming President Donald Trump for the unrest and referring to the protests, many of them violent, as "peaceful." While some protesters have remained peaceful, violence had taken place by the end of the day Friday and continued into the weekend, resulting in law enforcement officers being injured and attacked with projectiles and fireworks. On Monday, LAPD announced that 50 arrests had been made with charges including attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon on an officer, Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin reported on X, adding that five LAPD officers and five LAPD horses sustained minor injuries.
