Former Ravens Kicker To Sell Baltimore-Area Home
Former Ravens Kicker To Sell Baltimore-Area Home originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Justin Tucker era of Baltimore Ravens football is over, and in the weeks after his release, both parties seem to be moving on. Advertisement According to CBS News, the former Ravens kicker will list his Baltimore-area home for sale as his NFL career sits on hold. 'The 6,480 square foot house in Owings Mills will be on the market starting June 6 for $3.2 million,' Adam Thompson wrote. 'According to the listing, there are five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. ''Pristine modern home that feels like you've just stepped into new construction,' the description says. 'Coming soon!'' Owings Mills, Maryland, is 20 miles and approximately 25 minutes from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. As the NFL continues its investigation into Tucker's sexual misconduct allegations, his career hangs in the balance. Over a dozen Baltimore-area massage therapists accused Tucker of inappropriate acts during their sessions. A suspension, if the league's findings implicate the kicker, would be in order. Advertisement For reference, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was suspended 11 games for his sexual misconduct allegations. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh recently elaborated on the team's decision to release Tucker. "I mean, you're talking about arguably the best kicker in the history of the game," Harbaugh said, via ESPN. "And like we said, it's multi-layered [and] it's complicated. But in the end, it all comes back to what you have to do to get ready for your team to play the first game. And I think if you step back and you take a look at all the issues and all the ramifications, you can understand that we've got to get our football team ready and we've got to have a kicker to go. And that was the move that we decided to make." For now, Baltimore will turn to rookie kicker Tyler Loop, an Arizona product who was taken with the No. 186 pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Rookie kickers are inherently unstable, but Tucker's departure takes an awful lot of pressure off of him this summer.

Parents are charged after their son, 7, is struck dead in a car accident
The grieving parents of a 7-year-old child who died hours after being hit by a car were charged with involuntary manslaughter after allowing him and his brother, 10, to walk home unaccompanied by an adult from a nearby grocery store. Jessica Ivey and Samuele Jenkins were charged two days after their son Legend died from injuries caused by being struck by a Jeep on May 27 in Gastonia, a rural town in North Carolina. The 76-year-old driver will not face any charges. The Food Lion store is two blocks away from their home. The parents said the children were with their mother when they asked to meet their father at the store, and she allowed them to leave, according to the Gaston Gazette. The brothers had to cross the busy, four-lane road, but attempted to go between crosswalks. Witnesses told WSOC-TV Gastonia that Legend stepped into traffic as his older brother attempted to hold him back. Jenkins said he was on the phone with his elder son when the younger child was hit. 'I heard my oldest son yell, 'Legend, no!' so I hung up and ran. I just ran to find them,' he told the local television station. Two days later, Gastonia police arrested the parents, who are being held on $1.5 million bond. 'In such cases, adults must be held accountable for their responsibilities to ensure a safe environment for their children,' police said in a statement. Gastonia police declined to comment to NBC News, but said in a statement that 'there is no evidence of speeding or wrongdoing on the part of the driver, therefore no charges have been filed. The driver continues to be cooperative and the incident remains under active investigation by the Gastonia Police Department's Traffic Division.' The parents' public defenders did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. Ivey, the mother, said before her arrest to WSOC that it was the first time she let the children walk alone. 'It was just devastating, I'm still in shock, I'm in shock,' she said. 'It's hard, I haven't stopped crying; my husband hasn't stopped crying. Honestly, I want justice for my baby.' Summer Williams was in her car and witnessed the event. She told WSOC that Legend, apparently unaware of oncoming traffic, jumped into the street to the surprise of his brother, who tried to stop him. Williams said she comforted the child until paramedics arrived. 'Even at night, I still see his face,' she said. 'Just letting him know that somebody was there and he wasn't alone. 'Stay with us, sweetheart. You're going to be all right. Stay with us,'' Williams said she told the child. This article was originally published on
