Miami Herald2 days ago

Avery Woods has returned to TikTok following the death of her best friend's son.
The TikTok influencer is known, in part, for her friendship with fellow influencer Emilie Kiser.
Woods has remained off social media since the news of Kiser's son's death. Trigg, 3, was discovered unconscious in his family's pool May 12, according to 12 News.
Six days later, Chandler police confirmed Trigg's death on May 18 in a statement shared by spokesperson Sonu Wasu, according to Arizona Republic.
According to the news outlet, Wasu said those at the home were found performing CPR on the child until first responders arrived at the scene.
Trigg was taken to Chandler Regional Medical Center and later transferred to Phoenix Children's Hospital, Arizona Republic reported.
'Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the child's family and loved ones during this unimaginable time,' Wasu said in the statement to the news outlet.
An investigation remains ongoing.
On Monday, June 2, Woods returned to social media sharing a 'get ready with me' video.
Woods didn't say anything, instead put makeup on while music played in the background. She was also seen wearing several necklaces.
One necklace was a pair of angel wings. The other was a silver necklace with a round pendant. Etched on the pendent was the name 'Trigg.'
'The necklace. You are such a good friend Avery,' read one of the comment left on the video.
'The necklace just broke me,' wrote another follower.
As Woods wrote in the caption, she was getting ready for her and her husband's anniversary.
'Been awhile since I put makeup on so thought I'd get ready for our anniversary,' she said. 'Missed you.'
She shared a similar message on her Instagram story, writing, 'Hi. Missed you & hope you're doing well.'
Trigg was often featured on Kiser's social media accounts. She and her husband, Brady Kiser, welcomed their second child into the world in March.
In April, Kiser shared a video of Trigg meeting his younger brother, Teddy.
Kiser has not yet issued a public statement.

Here's Why People Are Raising Their Eyebrows Over Chris Pratt's Post About The Fatal Shooting Of His 'Parks And Recreation' Costar Jonathan Joss

Earlier this week, authorities confirmed that actor Jonathan Joss had died after being shot during an altercation with a former neighbor. He was 59. Jonathan's husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, claimed in a social media statement that the actor was killed in an anti-gay, targeted attack. He wrote, 'My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.' 'Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic,' Tristan alleged. 'When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired.' While tributes have poured in for the King of the Hill voice actor, his former Parks and Recreation costar Chris Pratt shared some words of his own this week.

In an Instagram story that has since expired, Chris shared a screenshot of a news headline about Jonathan's killing and wrote, 'Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude. He played Ken Hotate in Parks and was also in Mag 7. Sad to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones.' Related: Let's Talk About How Creepy The Sydney Sweeney Bikini Pics Are Reacting to Chris's tribute, several internet users admitted that they found his wording 'really weird' and 'poorly written.' 'This is a really weird tribute in response to his death,' one person said. 'This is such a poorly written statement. I know that Pratt likely wasn't close with Jonathan, nor is he expected to be -- but no statement is honestly better than this. It sounds so callous,' someone else agreed. 'Honestly just using full sentences would have made this sound more sincere even if they weren't close. Minimal effort. Also wth does 'prayers up' even mean,' one user wrote, while another echoed, 'He couldn't even be bothered with a full sentence, how classy.' 'It's so terse and weirdly written. Like, read it aloud. It's robotic,' someone said, while another wrote, 'This is so dismissive that it feels disrespectful. He should've said nothing tbh.' One more person added, 'It might have been better to say nothing at all Chris. This death is so tragic and upsetting and Johnathan deserved a better tribute then 'damn. RIP.'' Some users took issue with the fact that Chris made no mention of the nature of Jonathan's murder, comparing his statement to a moving statement shared by actor Cynthia Nixon. 'Was devastated to learn of the killing last night of the wonderfully talented actor and musician Jonathan Joss, who my family and I enjoyed so much in Parks and Recreation. He and his husband had been repeatedly harassed and worse by homophobic neighbors who recently burned their house to the ground. The men were collecting mail at their old address when a former neighbor came at them shouting homophobic hate and shot Jonathan to death,' Cynthia wrote. 'His husband says he would also have been shot had Jonathan not pushed him out of the way. The San Antonio police force is saying there is 'no evidence' that this was a hate crime. We will not let this stand.'

A Pakistani man accused of killing a young TikTok influencer appears in court

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani man accused of killing a 17-year-old TikTok influencer after she rejected his offer of friendship made his first court appearance Wednesday, officials and police said. Suspect Umar Hayat, 22, who also creates content on TikTok, was arrested Tuesday by Islamabad police in Faisalabad, an industrial city in eastern Punjab province. He is accused of shooting Sana Yousuf, who had more than one million followers on social media. The killing earlier this week in Islamabad drew widespread condemnation. TV footage showed Hayat with his face covered as he was brought to court, where police requested additional time to complete their investigation and file formal murder charges. The judge ordered that Hayat be presented again on June 18 for pretrial proceedings. Yousuf, originally from the scenic northern region of Chitral, was known for promoting traditional Chitrali music and dress through her videos. She also advocated for girls' education. TikTok has more than 60 million users in Pakistan, many of them young women and teenagers. Hours before her murder, she had posted a photo celebrating her birthday with friends.

Dog Saved From Horrific Past Finds a Home—Her Reaction Says It All

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A pit bull named Banana is at the center of a viral TikTok video that has left animal lovers heartbroken and furious. The footage, shared by dog rescuer @mjfambro, shows the injured dog called Banana being led into a shelter on a leash. She is covered in scratches and clearly shaken. The June 2 video has racked up more than 485,000 views and nearly 60,000 likes, with the caption: "Here is your reminder to never give a dog away for free and do your best to vet people when rehoming, because Banana paid the price." Newsweek reached out to @mjfambro for comment via TikTok. We could not verify the details of the case. Viewers were quick to express their anger and sorrow in the comments. "May the people that did this get the karma they deserve," one wrote. "Breaks my heart knowing what she went through." Another comment read: "People who just give away their pets without proper vetting should be held responsible for the crimes as well." More videos posted by the rescuer show Banana recovering in care, with suggestions she may have been used as a bait dog—a term used for animals forced into dogfighting rings to train more-aggressive dogs. Stock image: A person pets a sad pit bull. Stock image: A person pets a sad pit bull. Erik Gonzalez/iStock / Getty Images Plus What Is a Bait Dog? The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) says that bait dogs are often used in illegal street dogfighting to provoke aggression in other canines. Despite being a felony in all 50 states, as well as in Washington D.C. and U.S. territories, dogfighting continues to operate in the shadows. The practice has a long and brutal history in the U.S., dating back to the 18th century. While some are lured in by the money—raids have uncovered hundreds of thousands of dollars, with single fights involving bets as high as $30,000—others are driven by ego or a desire to assert dominance, using dogs as a reflection of their own power. Tragically, those animals that lose often face severe abuse or death. Federal law imposes even-harsher penalties. Under the Animal Welfare Act—bolstered by Congress in 2007 and again in 2014—it is a felony to engage in interstate dogfighting activities or to attend a fight, especially when a child under 16 is present. Violators can face up to three years in prison and fines of $250,000. Despite whatever trauma Banana has endured, she hasn't lost faith in humanity. In another clip, the dog can be seen standing on grass wearing a blue T-shirt to cover her infected shoulder. The voice-over explains that Banana has so much to "unravel," but she is doing amazingly well, considering her circumstances.
