Major Drug Busts In Dallas: Fentanyl, Cocaine, And Firearms
Dallas police and federal agents seized nearly a kilogram of fentanyl, more than 100 grams of cocaine, and multiple illegal firearms during two major raids so far this year. The operations, which resulted from investigations into random gunfire, led to several arrests. These seizures highlight the deadly intersection of illegal drugs and modified weapons flooding Dallas neighborhoods. The presence of Glock switches — devices that convert semi-automatic pistols into machine guns — raises particular concern for law enforcement. The first operation unfolded on February 7 when Dallas Police and ATF agents executed a search warrant in the 2700 block of Lolita Drive. Officers confiscated 955.8 grams of fentanyl, 128.2 grams of cocaine, nine firearms, and three Glock switches. Juan David Hernandez, 38, was arrested and faces two felony counts of manufacturing and delivery of controlled substances. He is also charged with unlawful firearm possession and possession of prohibited weapons. Carlos Garcia, 24, was arrested on multiple outstanding warrants. These included family violence, assault, and evading arrest. A second raid occurred on April 24 in the 7300 block of Charles Street following a neighborhood shooting. Officers discovered several firearms illegally modified with machine gun conversion devices. Two individuals were arrested and charged with possession of prohibited weapons. Their identities weren't immediately released. The investigations involved extensive collaboration between multiple Dallas Police units and federal agents. Southeast Investigative Unit, SWAT, ATF, Assaults Unit, and patrol divisions all played crucial roles in the operations.

Gladstone neighbors recount huge, deadly home explosion: ‘Thought it was an attack'
Ashleigh Tomlin was in her kitchen Saturday morning with her family when they all heard a massive bang. Her next-door neighbor's house in Gladstone had just exploded. She and her family hit the ground and a ceiling lamp came down, hitting Tomlin on the head and giving her a concussion. They thought a plane had crashed. 'We were just freaking out. I mean, we thought it was an attack,' she said. Firefighters responded just after 11 a.m. to Northeast 74th Terrace and North Main Street Saturday after multiple calls from residents about the explosion that officials later learned had killed one man and one dog. Officials used cadaver dogs to uncover the remains of a deceased adult man. His remains were unidentifiable, so confirmation of his identity may take a while, according to Gladstone Fire Chief Mike Desautels. The Gladstone Fire Department, Gladstone Police Department, ATF and other organizations were on the explosion site Saturday until later that night. The American Red Cross was on the scene, too. Heather Garcia who lives off Northeast 74th Terrace, was still in bed when she heard the loud boom and felt her house shake. She ran outside in search of her husband, Carlos Garcia, whom she knew was outside mowing. 'I came running outside, I don't have any shoes on. I honestly thought maybe a tree had fallen on my house. I came outside and I started screaming for him,' she said. Carlos Garcia was about to head to the front yard at the time of the explosion, but after finding his wife, called his neighbor across the street — who lived next door to the explosion. That neighbor was not home, but her senior black lab, Kipper, was. With her permission, he broke in to save the dog. 'We couldn't even really see the house at first because there was just so much smoke,' Heather Garcia said. All three neighbors knew the elderly man who lived in the home. Carlos Garcia was the one to call the victim's son to tell him what happened, hoping at the time that his neighbor wasn't home. 'It was a pretty traumatic day,' Heather Garcia said. The reverberations from the explosion were felt in the surrounding neighborhoods, too. Abby Bayack, who lives in Parkside Apartments in Gladestone, was with her toddler and thought the explosion was a large earthquake, given how badly it shook her unit. 'It was pretty terrifying when we had no clue what was going on. One of our neighbors said they had things fall off of shelves in their apartment. There was debris flying around outside, and the fire was visible just beyond the tree line behind the apartment complex,' Bayak wrote over social media direct messages. There were several smaller explosion after that and tons of smoke, according to Bayack. In the Sunday mid-morning heat, Heather Garcia and Tomlin were outside cleaning their yards, picking up the seemingly endless bits of broken glass. Carlos Garcia used a blower to clear out the roads with another neighbor as dozens of cars cruised past. The tree in the victim's front yard stood intact, with structural debris, a blanket and a flannel coat still hanging from the branches. Desautels, the Gladstone fire chief, said the investigation into what caused the deadly explosion will likely take some time because of the significant debris it caused.

America Movil forecasts $6.7 billion capex for 2025
MEXICO CITY :An executive of Mexican telecoms giant America Movil said Wednesday that the company's capital expenditure for 2025 would be $6.7 billion, below the $7.1 billion capex in 2024. "It's only because we're seeing a slow down in all the economies. We have been investing a lot... with the slowdown that will reduce the capex to $6.7 (billion), that is what we decided yesterday," said finance chief Carlos Garcia in a call with investors following the company's first-quarter results. "I think the reduction this year will not increase the normal guidance of capex for next year.. I don't know, but we feel we can save some capex for the future," he added. Garcia said the company, which is controlled by the family of Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, was also monitoring a telecoms law proposal by President Claudia Sheinbaum and offering its views to lawmakers. Sheinbaum has argued the controversial telecommunications bill would prevent foreign governments from broadcasting political or ideological propaganda in Mexico, while critics have said it would promote state control of the sector. America Movil on Tuesday reported a 39 per cent jump in its first-quarter net profit to 18.70 billion pesos ($914.07 million, compared to the same period in 2024, citing an increase in operating profit and a decrease in financing costs. Revenues of the company came in at 232.04 billion pesos for the period, up 14 per cent year on year and just short of an LSEG average forecast of 233.3 billion pesos.

Police searching for man who allegedly sexually abused corpse on New York subway
A man sexually violated a corpse on a New York City subway train after stealing from the body, becoming the second of two people to rob that particular dead person, authorities said recently. One of the more grotesque US crime stories of late unfolded on a southbound R train near the Whitehall Street station in Manhattan at about 12.20am on Wednesday, when 'an unidentified individual had sexual contact with an unconscious and unresponsive adult male' in plain view of surveillance cameras, according to a police statement. The police's statement did not elaborate and did not identify the attacker or the victim – though they released surveillance photos of a suspect carrying a black backpack while wearing a blue baseball cap, a black hooded jacket, a yellow hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and red and white sneakers. Nonetheless, a poster distributed to transit workers alleged that the man wanted in the case had engaged in sexual intercourse with 'a dead human body', as the New York City news website Gothamist reported. The poster, which was reviewed by the Guardian as well, alleged that investigators had probable cause to arrest a 51-year-old man identified as Carlos Garcia – whose last known address is in the Bronx – on a count of sexual misconduct of a dead human body. Gothamist, citing police, also reported that the man identified in the wanted poster as Garcia could be seen on surveillance footage taking items from the pockets of the dead person before violating the corpse. That attack marked the second time the dead person – who was described as a man – had been stolen from in less than an hour. At about 10.48pm on Tuesday, police said a woman approached the late man, removed unspecified property from him and then left. Police released surveillance images of a suspect in that initial robbery, which showed a woman wearing a yellow hooded sweatshirt, black pants and a black baseball cap. A police spokesperson would not comment on the allegations of the wanted poster first reported on by Gothamist and later seen by the Guardian. Another official on Saturday morning said there had not been any arrests made in the case. Police said anyone with useful information can submit it to New York City's Crimestoppers website. Wednesday morning's case of necrophilia on the subway not only provided a graphically documented instance of a sexual disorder psychiatrists assume to be among the rarest. It also reignited a discussion about the safety of the New York City subway system that in some quarters is ongoing. Statistics generally show violence on the subway is relatively rare, though high-profile cases have the tendency to unnerve the public. For instance, in December, a 57-year-old woman named Debrina Kawam died after being set on fire while sleeping on a train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station in Brooklyn. Days later, 45-year-old Joseph Lynskey was pushed in front of an oncoming train at Manhattan's 18th Street station but survived.
