Man killed, woman seriously injured in two-vehicle crash in Fresno County, CHP says
One person was killed Thursday morning, another seriously injured in a Fresno County crash. The California Highway Patrol said the crash happened at 6:50 a.m. at the intersection of Buttonwillow and American avenues, near Reedley, in the CHP Kings River Resident Port area. A 64-year-old woman from Reedley was driving a Toyota Prius northbound on American when she entered the intersection to make a left turn onto southbound Buttonwillow. A 28-year-old man from Exeter was driving a Honda Accord westbound on Buttonwillow, which has no traffic controls at the intersection. CHP spokesperson Mike Salas said the Toyota entered the intersection in front of the Honda. In an attempt to avoid the collision, the driver of the Honda braked and steered left, but the front of the Toyota collided with the front of the Honda, causing major damage to both vehicles. Both vehicles came to rest on the northwest side of the intersection. The driver of the Honda Accord was pronounced dead. Officers determined the driver was not wearing a seat belt. The driver of the Toyota sustained major injuries and was airlifted to Community Regional Medical Center. Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be contributing factors in the collision, Salas said. The investigation is ongoing.

Ex-property management employee charged with burglarizing homes
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man is now behind bars after police say he admitted to stealing from multiple homes after he was fired from a property management company almost two months ago. Mario Eddins, 38, is facing several charges, including burglary of a building, five counts of aggravated burglary, and five counts of theft of property. On April 13, patrol deputies say they were called to a home in Southeast Shelby County regarding a burglary report. The company manager for Firstkey Homes told police a refrigerator and ring camera were missing from the home. She says an employee was the last person to check the home on April 1 and that the suspects entered using the key box on the front door of the residence. During further investigation, detectives say they noticed a pattern of burglaries at Firstkey Home properties within the area. On April 7, a manager of property security for the company reported that two other homes had been burglarized the day before. However, one of the homes had a hidden camera that showed three male suspects removing appliances. Police say one of the men was identified as a former employee, Mario Eddins. Eddins was reportedly fired back in March. Bond denied for 18-year-old charged with killing 2 students An arrest warrant for aggravated burglary was issued for Eddin's arrest at that time. On April 10, detectives say they received video footage of a gray pickup truck backing into the driveway of a home on April 1 and removing a refrigerator. Detectives say they were able to identify the owner and the address registered to the pickup truck by using the flock camera system data. The safety camera system data also showed Eddins to be in the area during the time of the burglary in a black Honda Accord. On April 24, detectives executed a search warrant on the man who was driving the pickup truck. The man told detectives where he bought and stored the appliances, and described the person he bought them from. The description matched Eddins, detectives say. Detectives found Eddins at his mother's home and took him into custody.

Eddins told detectives that he felt unjustly fired by the business and was 'getting back at them' for his termination. On May 6, a search warrant was executed for Eddins' phone and iPad, where detectives say they found photos of the appliances from the burglarized homes. Mario Eddins is due in court on Thursday morning. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Derrick Thompson trial: More evidence he was driving speeding SUV
The Brief Derrick Thompson is charged with 15 counts of criminal Vehicular homicide and third-degree murder. Five young women died when a Cadillac Escalade rented by Thompson slammed into their car at an estimated 80 miles an hour, after reaching speeds near 100. Thompson's defense strategy is to cast doubt that prosecutors can prove he was the one driving. MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A Minneapolis Police investigator spent hours on the stand Tuesday, presenting various videos to prove Derrick Thompson was the one driving the Cadillac Escalade that slammed into a Honda Accord and killed all five women inside. Sgt. David Ligneel showed videos from the rental car ramp at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, showing Thompson and his brother arriving in a car and both walking inside. When they leave, cameras show Derrick driving the Escalade, no one in the passenger seat, then his brother exiting right behind him driving the car. Another video, zooming in on the aftermath of the crash scene, shows no one exiting the passenger side of the Escalade. An eyewitness testified she saw Derrick emerge from the driver's door. A nurse who treated Thompson for a broken pelvis in the days after the crash testified that Derrick never mentioned anything about being a passenger in the SUV or that anyone else was even in the vehicle. Her impression from things he said is that he was driving. What we know Thompson is charged with 15 counts, three each for the five young women who died when Thompson's rented SUV slammed into them at a Lake Street intersection. The Escalade had just exited the freeway, where it was clocked at 95 miles an hour, and blew threw the red light at Lake Street. Siblings of two of the women testified on Tuesday, adding emotion to what is otherwise a very clinical, video and science heavy trial. "She brought a light to every room she walked in, she was always happy, always kind to everyone around her," said Sundus Odhowa, sister of Siham Odhowa. "And she was taken away from us way too soon." The other side A BCA forensic scientist testified about DNA evidence from the Escalade. On the driver's door was a blood sample that heavily matched Derrick, but it also came back with a slight match to Thompson's brother. This is key for the defense, who raise the possibility that Thompson's brother may have been the actual driver. But the scientist testified that the likelihood ratio of a match to Derrick was in the billions. The likelihood of a match to his brother was in the thousands. But, she conceded, his brother could not be excluded as a possible contributor to that DNA mixture. What's next The trial is expected to last a few more days, but wrap up yet this week. The prosecution has a handful of witnesses on their list they've not called yet. The defense declined to say how many witnesses they plan to call.
