Mass overdose in Baltimore tests progress of prevention efforts

Washington Post2 days ago
Two days after a mass overdose brought a fleet of emergency responders to its central intersection, Baltimore's Penn North neighborhood was largely back to its normal rhythms. Floats for a nearby Caribbean cultural celebration turned heads as they passed the neighborhood's metro stop, where a few cautious dealers stood in the shade after a morning rush.

Massachusetts woman will plead guilty to leaking sealed federal grand jury information

Jessica Leslie, a 34-year-old Massachusetts woman, has agreed to plead guilty after prosecutors accused her of leaking federal grand jury information to unauthorized individuals. U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Leah Foley and Ted Docks, special agent in charged of FBI Boston, announced charges Tuesday against Leslie, who lives in Dracut. While she was a member of a federal grand jury, Leslie allegedly shared sealed information that included the names of various witnesses, the substance of their testimony, and other evidence. Prosecutors did not specify what case the grand jury was called for. Details were not disclosed regarding who Leslie leaked the information to. The information was allegedly leaked between Aug. 11, 2022 and March 4, 2024. Leslie was charged on Friday with one count of criminal contempt. She was facing prison time, supervised release, and a fine of $250,000 if convicted. Instead, the U.S. Attorney said Leslie agreed to plead guilty and will make an appearance in federal court at a later date. A plea hearing has not yet been scheduled. According to court documents, Leslie's plea agreement includes incarceration for one day that is deemed time served. She would not face a fine if the plea is accepted by the judge. Instead, she would be granted 24 months of supervised release and a mandatory special assessment of $100 that must be paid by sentencing. WBZ-TV attempted to reach Leslie's defense attorney for comment. He said he was in the process of speaking to his client and may have a comment in the near future.

Philadelphia police release photos of 2 suspects wanted in connection with Grays Ferry mass shooting

Philadelphia police released photos of two suspects they're searching for in connection with a mass shooting in Grays Ferry that killed 3 people and injured 9 on July 7. Police described the first suspect shown in the photo below as a male in his late teens or early 20s with a medium complexion, thin build and sideburns. The suspect was last seen wearing a gray head covering, black jacket, white T-shirt, black track pants and carrying an Under Armour backpack. Investigators said the second suspect is also a male in his late teens or early 20s, with a medium complexion and an unkempt afro. This suspect was last seen wearing black track pants, a black shirt and carrying a black Nike backpack with silver bubbling along the straps. Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said the mass shooting happened on the 1500 block of South Etting Street just before 1 a.m. on July 7. Later that night, Philadelphia police released a video of three suspects on Ring surveillance who remain at large. Bethel said officers had already responded to the same block late Saturday night into early Sunday. Police made arrests during that earlier incident and continued to monitor the area throughout the weekend. Officers then returned on Sunday after receiving reports of loud music. While responding to a separate incident nearby, officers heard gunfire and rushed back to the block. In total, police said nine victims were taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and three others were taken to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. One additional victim walked into the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania's Pavilion Campus. Bethel said at least eight of the victims were taken by police. Police said another victim went to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia but was not shot and only injured from falling to the ground while running away. Bethel said he believes there were around 40 individuals who may have been present at the time of the shooting. He added that there may have been an exchange of gunfire, and dozens of shell casings were recovered from the scene. Police said one person was taken into custody with a weapon, though their role in the shooting is unclear.
