Pickup splits in two when accused street racer slams into it, AZ officials say
A street race between two 17-year-olds turned deadly when one of the cars struck a pickup, splitting it in two and killing the 32-year-old driver, Arizona officials said. Now four years later, the pair are 21 and heading to prison after pleading guilty to charges in connection with the May 2021 wreck in Avondale, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office said in a June 9 news release. Jakari Barksdale and Emanuel Cervantez were each sentenced to seven years behind bars, prosecutors said. McClatchy News reached out to their attorneys June 9 and was awaiting responses. The street race was arranged in advance via text and was recorded, prosecutors said. Barksdale and Cervantez reached speeds of 100-plus mph, according to prosecutors. They 'were racing side by side when' Barksdale's BMW hit 'a Ford F-150 that was turning through the intersection,' prosecutors said. 'The impact split the truck in two,' instantly killing the 32-year-old man behind the wheel, according to prosecutors. His name wasn't provided. Cervantez narrowly missed the wreck and fled, prosecutors said. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and leaving the scene of a fatal accident, while Barksdale pleaded guilty to manslaughter and aggravated assault, prosecutors said. In the news release, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell called street racing 'a crime with deadly consequences.' 'This wasn't a tragic accident — it was the direct result of reckless choices and a complete disregard for human life,' she said. Avondale is about a 20-mile drive west from Phoenix.

Regal Resources Inc. Announces Revocation of Cease Trade Orders
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 23, 2025) - Regal Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Regal") is pleased to announce that it has been successful in its applications to the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") and the Ontario Securities Commission (the "Securities Regulators") to revoke the cease trade orders issued on December 11 and 30, 2015 respectively by the Securities Regulators (the "Cease Trade Orders"). The Company previously announced its intention to make application to revoke the Cease Trade Orders on December 23, 2024. The Cease Trade Orders were issued as a result of the Company's failure to file its audited annual financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis and other materials for the year ended July 31, 2015. The Company has filed its audited annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and related certifications for the years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023 and its interim financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and related certifications for the quarter ended January 31, 2025, and has otherwise met its continuous disclosure obligations pursuant to securities laws (collectively, the "Disclosure Documents"). Accordingly, the revocation of the Cease Trade Orders has been granted by the Securities Regulators. The Disclosure Documents are available for review online under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ ( Corporate Activity The Company significantly reduced its business activities following the Cease Trade Orders. On January 25, 2016, the Company's shares were suspended from trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") as a result of the Company being in default of the CSE's requirements, and on April 25, 2016, the Company was delisted from the CSE. In August 2017, the Company entered into definitive agreements (the "Sunnyside Agreement") with Barksdale Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BRO) ("Barksdale") for Barksdale to acquire up to a 67.5% undivided interest in the Sunnyside Project in two stages, with Barksdale entitled to acquire an initial 51% interest in the Sunnyside Project upon making certain cash payments, issuing a number of Barksdale shares and incurring certain qualified expenditures during the first two years of the option, following receipt of all required governmental permits. Following acquisition of the initial 51% interest in the Sunnyside Project, Barksdale will have the option to increase its interest to 67.5% of the Sunnyside Project upon payment of additional cash and share consideration and the incurring of additional qualified property expenditures. Following signing of the Sunnyside Agreement, in 2018 Barksdale made cash payments to the Company in the aggregate amount of $750,000 and issued to the Company 1,250,000 common shares of Barksdale. In August 2020, the Company held its annual general meeting, at which a change of management and board occurred. Greg Thomas, the chief executive officer and president and a director of the Company did not stand for re-election at the meeting. Matthew Sauder, Martin Carsky, Derek Daly, Tony Louie, and Drew Brass were elected as directors, and following the meeting Matthew Sauder was appointed as chair of the board, president and chief executive officer and Derek Daly was appointed as chief financial officer. In May 2021, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Barksdale providing for Barksdale to indirectly acquire 100% of the Sunnyside Project. The transaction required approval from 2/3 of the Regal shareholders to move forward. At a special general meeting called to consider the sale in July 2021, the required 2/3 shareholder approval was not obtained and the transaction was subsequently terminated. On October 1, 2021, Matthew Sauder, Martin Carsky, and Derek Daly resigned from the Company's board and as officers of the Company. On October 4, 2021, Barksdale, as assignee of various debt owed by the Company, delivered a notice of intention to enforce security pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) and on October 14, 2021, the Company entered creditor protection under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada). In January 2022, Greg Thomas, the former chief executive officer and president of the Company from 2010 to 2020, was reappointed as chief executive officer, president and a director of the Company. In January 2022, the Company applied to the BCSC and obtained a partial revocation of the CTO in British Columbia to permit it to complete a private placement financing (the "Debenture Financing") under which it raised $2,885,000 through the issuance of secured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") to four investors in British Columbia and Yukon. The Debentures bear interest at 12% per annum and are convertible into units at a conversion price of $0.10 per unit. Each unit will be comprised of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to acquire one common share for $0.20 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. Using the proceeds from the Debentures and other funds, the Company repaid a total of $3,048,504 to various secured and unsecured creditors and was able to exit creditor protection. In Q1 of 2023, pursuant to a second partial revocation of the CTO in British Columbia granted by the BCSC the Company raised a total of $350,000 from the sale of $0.10 units of its securities to investors in British Columbia and Colorado USA. Each unit was comprised of one common share and one half share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to acquire one common share for $0.20 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. All the warrants expired unexercised in Q1 2025. In September 2023 Barksdale received its last regulatory approval to commence exploration at the Sunnyside Property and in September 2024, pursuant to the Sunnyside Agreement, Barksdale fulfilled year 1 of its earn-in to the Sunnyside Project by completing C$3,000,000 in qualified exploration expenses, making a net payment of C$717,071, and issuing 3,850,000 Barksdale shares to the Company. In February 2025 the Company's trustee in bankruptcy filed its final report to the bankruptcy court and the final order discharging the trustee was received on April 30, 2025. Following the revocations of the CTOs, the Company will prepare for the expected vesting of Barksdale's 51% interest in the Sunnyside Project in September 2025. Assuming it completes its 51% earn in, Barksdale will have 120 days to elect to increase its interest to 67.5% in consideration for making an additional cash payment of $550,000, issuing an additional 4,900,000 Barksdale shares, and incurring an additional $6,000,000 in qualified expenditures, including 25,000 feet of drilling within the following two years. Once the joint venture commences with Barksdale at either 51% or 67.5%, Regal will hold two seats of a four person management committee that will oversee work programs to advance the Sunnyside Project. Regal will evaluate several financing options in order to participate fully in upcoming exploration programs to maintain its 49% or 32.5% interest, as the case may be. About Regal Resources Inc. Regal Resources is a junior mineral exploration and development company based in Vancouver, British Columbia whose sole mineral project is its interest in the Sunnyside Project near Nogales, Arizona. Regal Resources is a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 17 - Don Barksdale (1953-55)
Boston Celtics jersey history No. 17 - Don Barksdale (1953-55) The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the ninth of 11 people to wear the No. 17 jersey, Boston Hall of Fame forward alum Don Barksdale. After ending his college career at UCLA, Barksdale would go unselected in the 1947 BAA draft. The Oakland, California native would instead sign with the (defunct) Baltimore Bullets in 1951 after a few seasons in other domestic leagues, and play the first two seasons of his pro career with the team before he was dealt to Boston in 1953. His stay with the team would span another two seasons, the last of his NBA career. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Barksdale wore only jersey No. 17 and put up 9.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Walmart employee suspected of fatally shooting 2 co-workers dies of injuries
Walmart employee suspected of fatally shooting 2 co-workers dies of injuries A Walmart employee in Georgia, who is suspected of fatally shooting two of his colleagues and injuring a third, died of his injuries on April 13, authorities said. Dwayne Eduh, a 24-year-old Walmart employee, is suspected to have fatally shot co-workers Khalaf Barksdale, 21, and Akeela Clarke, 19 at a Walmart store in Covington, about 35 miles east of Atlanta, around 1:30 a.m. on April 11, the Newton County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. Ryan Bradley, 29, was also injured in the incident but was in stable condition, authorities said. Authorities said the suspect "retrieved a firearm from outside the building," returned inside and fatally shot Barksdale. He then shot and critically injured a second male co-worker, identified as Bradley, before going to a nearby residence, where he forced his way in and fatally shot Clarke. Suspect fled out of state Eduh then fled towards South Carolina, and a standoff ensued with the Aiken County Sheriff's Office and South Carolina State Troopers near Aiken, about 2 hours east of Covington. Eduh then shot himself and was transported in critical condition to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries on April 13, Newton County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Caitlin Jett told USA TODAY April 14. "This remains an active and ongoing investigation," the sheriff's office said in a April 11 news release. While a motive is also not yet known, the sheriff's office said the "suspect specifically targeted individuals they knew." The Walmart store was closed for business at the time of the shooting, with only employees present inside, authorities said. It remained closed the day after, according to a Facebook post by the sheriff's office. 'No place for violence,' says Walmart Walmart said in a statement the company was "heartbroken" over the incident. "There's no place for violence in our stores," Walmart said in a statement to USA TODAY on April 14. "We're focused on taking care of our associates and supporting law enforcement with their investigation." Loved ones remember victims A GoFundMe account set up by Clarke's family, requesting donations for her memorial services, described Akeela as "one of the most vibrant and joyful individuals you could ever meet." The family said their loved one "was taken from us in a tragic and wrongful manner due to yet another senseless act of gun violence." Friends and family of the victim also gathered near her home on April 13 to release 19 balloons in honor of the 19-year-old, who aspired to become a labor and delivery nurse, Fox 5 Atlanta reported. Barksdale was remembered as "a beloved coworker and friend," in his obituary, which said his death "has sent shockwaves through the Covington community" and "left his family and friends heartbroken."
