Naperville man hit by car and killed while walking across Route 59 near Fox Valley Mall in Aurora
A Naperville man was killed Tuesday morning after being hit by a car while walking across Route 59 near Fox Valley Mall, Aurora police said.
The Aurora police and fire departments responded to the crash at the intersection of Route 59 and Fox Valley Entrance 1 at about 8:46 a.m. on Tuesday, finding the victim in the middle through lane on Route 59, a press release on Wednesday from the Aurora Police Department said.
The man, who has since been identified as Derrick Davis, 54, of the 2500 block of Arcadia Circle in Naperville, was taken to Rush Copley Medical Center in Aurora after the crash and pronounced dead about an hour later, according to the release.
Initial findings suggest that a black 2018 Infiniti Q50 was traveling north in the middle lane of Route 59 when Davis attempted to cross the street heading east, and that the driver attempted to stop but was unable to avoid hitting him, according to the release.
The crash is under investigation by the Aurora Police Department's Traffic Division, the release said.

Jury deliberating in Davis stabbings trial after Carlos Dominguez testimony, closing arguments
Jury deliberations will continue this week in the case of the suspected Davis stabber Carlos Dominguez. Closing arguments concluded late Friday after a month of testimony. The former UC Davis student is accused of stabbing three people in spring 2023, killing two. The defense claimed Dominguez was suffering from schizophrenia at the time of the attacks. Prosecutors have argued his actions were premeditated, regardless of his mental state. Health care professionals, law enforcement officers, and a former professor of Dominguez have all testified in the trial over the past four weeks. Dominguez's family, as well as his ex-girlfriend, have also testified, describing the changes they witnessed in him. "The person I dated would have never done something like that," said Caley Gallardo on the stand. "He was skinnier, he wouldn't take care of himself and when we would watch movies," said Mia Reales, Dominguez's sister. "He would just stare into the walls." Last week, Dominguez took the stand in his own defense. At one point, he named and acknowledged his three victims. Dominguez also claimed that he was hearing voices and had no memory of the incidents until later. "I started to realize the people I thought were shape shifters, that I had stabbed, were actual people," Dominguez said. The jury entered deliberations late Friday and now must decide if Dominguez is guilty on the charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and attempted murder. If found guilty, prosecutors have said they would not seek the death penalty for Dominguez in the case.

June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month
Jun. 8—Helping Ohio's seniors navigate the growing threat of financial exploitation COLUMBUS — This year, older Ohioans are at risk of losing more than $60 million to scammers and fraudsters. In recognition of Elder Abuse Awareness Month during June, the Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Securities and the Ohio Department of Aging are partnering to shine a spotlight on a growing issue involving the financial exploitation of older adults. In 2024, the Division of Securities received 302 scam- and fraud-related complaints from older Ohioans, which was up 22% from the previous year's 247 complaints. In addition, according to the FBI's Elder Fraud Report, Ohio had the sixth largest volume of complaints in the country in 2023, with losses exceeding $64 million. Meanwhile AARP found that, nationwide, more than $28 billion is stolen from individuals over the age of 60 annually, with three-fourths of those losses involving individuals the victim knows. In response to this alarming trend and the increased risk posed to older Ohioans, the Division is highlighting the warning signs of elder financial abuse to protect loved ones from becoming a statistic. These warning signs include: Unexplained financial changes, such as large withdrawals or unexpected fund transfers. Changes in banking practices, such as adding new names to accounts, or uncharacteristic attempts to wire money to unknown acquaintances. Unpaid bills, sudden non-sufficient fund activity, and unexplained purchases or debts. "Financial exploitation of the elderly is one of the most pervasive and heartbreaking issues we encounter at the Ohio Division of Securities," Securities Commissioner Andrea Seidt said. "The victims are often targeted by perpetrators who exploit their loneliness, trust, or lack of familiarity with modern technology. Recognizing the signs of this abuse is critical so we can protect our friends and loved ones from these crimes that carry devastating financial consequences." Older adults are particularly vulnerable to a wide variety of schemes, including romance scams, tech support impersonations, and grandparent scams. Perpetrators often use mail, phone calls, and online communication to trick seniors into handing over money, personal information, or access to their financial accounts. Once a victim is targeted, the financial losses and emotional toll can be severe. If you suspect either yourself or someone in your life has been the target of a financial scam, you should immediately contact the Ohio Division of Securities at 614-644-7381 or local law enforcement. In addition, the Division is highlighting the below resources for reporting fraud and securing assistance. Additional Resources to Protect and Address Elder Financial Exploitation —To report securities fraud, call the Division of Securities' Investor Protection Hotline at 877-683-7841. —Ohio's Adult Protective Services Referral Line is available at 855-OHIO-APS (855-644-6277). —The Ohio Attorney General's Elder Justice Unit can be reached at 800-282-0515. —For concerns about abuse in nursing homes, contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman at 800-282-1206.

Nahir Albright says Keyshawn Davis headbutted him after he beat Davis' brother
Nahir Albright says Keyshawn Davis headbutted him after he beat Davis' brother A disappointing weekend for boxer Keyshawn Davis allegedly turned violent Saturday night outside of the ring. Boxer Nahir Albright told reporters that Davis headbutted him and left a large bump over his right eye. He said the incident took place when Davis and his younger brother, Keon, confronted Albright after Albright beat the oldest of the Davis brothers, Kelvin, by majority decision at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. The weekend already had soured for Davis, who on Friday weighed in 4.3 pounds more than the maximum for his WBO lightweight world title defense scheduled for Saturday. That led to the cancellation of the bout against Edwin De Los Santos and the WBO title was stripped from him. Then came the alleged incident described by Albright. 'I was in my locker room and celebrated my victory with my team,'' he told reporters in a videotaped interview. '…Keyshawn and his little brother (Keon) came in and they started looking at me and was like, they saying something about his older brother. They was mad and he grabbed me, pushed me back. 'I'm grabbing his head. He moved his head towards my head.'' Then came the headbutt, according to Albright. 'So yeah, that's what happened,'' he said, the incident was not sparked by any exchange of words. '…Their locker room is right next door to mine, so I guess they heard us happy and all that kind of stuff, and they came in and started trouble.'' Of the confrontation, Albright told ESPN, 'Now we've got to settle that'' and said he wants to fight Keyshawn Davis in the ring. Davis beat Albright by unanimous decision in 2023 but the result was turned to a no contest after Davis tested positive for marijuana – a banned substance in Texas, where the fight was held. But late Saturday, the talk centered on controversy outside of the ring. For Davis, instead of being featured in the main event in his hometown of Norfolk, it all went awry. Davis, 26, showed up Saturday at the Scope Arena with his son of less than a year and cheered on his two brothers. Keon, 23, won his fight via a second-round TKO. But Kelvin, 28, got pummeled by Albright, who won the 10-round bout by majority decision. During the altercation, Albright said, his coaches eventually interceded. 'My coaches grabbed (Keyshawn Davis) and then I think security came in and grabbed him,'' Albright said. Later, Albright said, Davis charged after Albright's older brother. 'It just got crazy,'' he added. But Albright said he thinks Kelvin Davis, the brother he beat in the ring Saturday night, was trying to break things up. 'It's a little unfortunate, but nothing could take away the feeling of being a champion tonight,'' he said, referring to the vacant Silver US WBC Jr. Welterweight title he won. 'I ain't going to let nothing ruin my night.'' ESPN reported that the Davis brothers did not comment.
