Orleans mother suspects foul play in daughter's Riverwalk death
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — 20-year-old Jameshia Selders went out in New Orleans with a group of friends but never returned home. According to the Coast Guard, Selders fell into the Mississippi river by the Riverwalk at around 1 a.m. and has not been found since. 'Somebody just help me find my daughter,' Duplessis said. 'It's important to me if I can just get my daughter back with the family and get my daughter a decent burial funeral.'' Two killed in Jefferson Parish car crash Duplessis says that her final conversations with her daughter were normal. Selders even said she would be home that night. Just hours later though, Duplessis received the worst phone call of her life. The coast guard would then spend hours searching but to no avail. 'We had people out here searching with helicopters,' Duplessis said. 'It was late. They tried. We shut down at 3 something in the morning. They said they would come back out in the morning and try to find my daughter. Still not getting any answers.' West Nile Virus detected in New Orleans mosquitoes, city expands control measures According to Duplessis, Selders' friends say that she jumped in. However, Duplessis claims there is more to the story. She believes that her daughter was killed by those she was with. 'My daughter would never throw herself in the river,' Duplessis said. 'My daughter knows how to swim and she's not just going to throw herself in the river. She didn't have any problems.' Duplessis claims that some of Selders' friends have acted suspicious since that night such as deleting social media accounts. 'I mean I got some that deactivated their Instagram page, deactivated their Facebook page,' Duplessis said. 'I mean if you had nothing to do with it, why would you deactivate your information.' As of today, the NOPD has ruled the death a suicide.

CHICAGO — In a parking lot off 87th Street and the Dan Ryan Expressway, you'll find a weekly gathering in the summer where the community is invited to pray. 'This is my sixth year coming out here every Monday in between Memorial Day and Labor Day to pray for the city, pray for the violence,' Pastor Donovan Price said. Price leads the sessions in a welcoming setting where even his shoes send a message to walk by faith. 'Because we know prayer has some power. Prayer changes things,' he said. During this week's prayer, the group honored the life of fallen Chicago police officer Krystal Rivera and prayed for the safety of the Chicago Police Department. Fallen CPD officer remembered for courage and compassion by loved ones and colleagues 'When an officer is killed, then a member of the family has been lost. A pillar of the community has been lost,' Price said.

'We're praying for peace, for her family's heart and spirit. We're praying for some level of understanding for her daughter. We're praying for her partner that he might have some peace,' Price said. 'And there's part of us that should be praying for those who caused this situation in the first place.' Suspect held in connection with accidental fatal shooting of Chicago officer Through some clapping and some singing, they hope to bring peace and healing throughout the city.
