Parents of slain rapper "Baby Cino" sue Hialeah and EMTs over leaked photo

The parents of murdered Miami rapper "Baby Cino" are suing the City of Hialeah and three emergency medical technicians, alleging a disturbing violation of privacy and dignity following his death. The lawsuit claims EMTs at the scene of Timothy Starks' fatal shooting in March 2022 took a photo of his lifeless body, which later surfaced online as cover art for what the family describes as a diss track posted to SoundCloud. The image showed Starks—known as "Baby Cino"—slumped in the passenger seat of a red Altima, where an unknown gunman shot and killed him. Photo used without consent adds to family's trauma Starks' parents, Angelica and Edner Yeye, say the trauma deepened when a close family friend sent them the song cover. The explicit photo was used without their knowledge or consent. Although the image has since been removed from the track, the emotional impact remains. "That is very heartbreaking as a mother," said Angelica Blount-Yeye. "That's a picture I cannot—and will never—get out of my head." The family believes someone among the EMT crew took the photo, which was then leaked. Their attorney, Tobechuku Nwahiri, said that while three individuals are named in the lawsuit, it's about uncovering the truth and holding the responsible party accountable. "If it's one person, there's an opportunity for that person to come forward," Nwahiri said. "Or for the others to say who was involved." Call for accountability and policy change CBS News Miami contacted one of the EMTs named in the lawsuit, who referred the station to the City of Hialeah. The city responded by stating it does not comment on pending litigation. "This is unacceptable," said Edner Yeye. "Somebody's got to be held accountable." Attorney Nwahiri expressed hope that the lawsuit would prompt municipalities and first responders to adopt stricter protocols regarding the treatment of the deceased. "We want to see policy change—to protect families and to respect the dead," he said. The Miami-Dade Police Department confirmed that the investigation into Starks' murder remains open. No arrests have been made.

New Indigenous-owned restaurant in Green Bay looks to provide affordably fast & fresh cuisine The department responded, and EMT Scheer was able to help the dog not only get out from under the deck but also talk and guide the trapped pup to safety. While it was her final shift as a department intern, it was certainly a good way to cap it off. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Southwest Public Safety Center nearly completed in Albuquerque

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – More than a year after breaking ground, Albuquerque is now just months away from opening a major new hub for fire, police, and social workers on the corner of 98th Street and Amole Mesa. Story continues below Entertainment: First-of-its-kind indoor pickleball facility coming to northeast Albuquerque Community: Albuquerque church leaning on faith after 2 members killed by their son Environment: What should New Mexicans do if they come across a raccoon? That station is just one part of a newer experiment for Albuquerque, making its first regional public safety center with space for firefighters, police officers, and Albuquerque Community Safety. It was March of last year when they broke ground, and now, the Southwest Public Safety Center is just months away from opening its doors. 'Starting in August, we will open this station with an ALS engine. So it'll be an engine, fire engine that carries the water, the hose, all of that. And then it'll also be staffed with one paramedic and then three firefighters that have our EMT basics so that we can provide paramedic coverage and fire suppression coverage,' said Albuquerque Fire Rescue Chief Emily Jaramillo. The new hub will serve the Southwest Mesa, one of the fastest-growing areas of the city that's only expected to get bigger. AFR said it's planning for that growth by building extra space for more fire engines expected to call Station 23 home over the next decade. One of the biggest benefits will be faster response times for AFR in that area. 'We've really relied on our automatic aid agreement to meet response times in this area of the city with Bernalillo County fires. So right now, Bernalillo County Fire is covering quite a bit of this area for us to make sure that we are meeting response times. However, now, AFR being here, this is all city jurisdiction. We're going to be able to meet those response times with our own apparatus,' said Jaramillo. The center will be one of two planned spaces for ACS on the Westside. 'We're going to have an admin staff here. The thing with our responders is that they're always responding to calls. And so, this will be a nice touch point for them to be able to come in and finish a report. But it'll be a nice space for everybody to collaborate. We can receive referrals from our counter departments here, and we're really excited to be here,' said Jodie Esquibel, director, Albuquerque Community Safety. Phase one of the project should be open by August. Eventually, the city is also hoping to transit center and a community center on the property. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

A 21-year-old member of two Maryland volunteer fire companies died after a crash with a parked tractor-trailer on Wednesday, May 28, in Pennsylvania.

Man killed in motorcycle crash near Spring Grove, Illinois

A 27-year-old man died in a motorcycle crash near Spring Grove over the weekend, the McHenry County Sheriff's Office said. Just after 3 p.m. Sunday, EMTs and police were called to the scene of a crash between a motorcycle and a car at the intersection of Johnsburg Road and Miller road in unincorporated McHenry County near Spring Grove, Illinois, police said. The sheriff's office said the 27-year-old man, who has not been identified, was riding a 2009 Kawaski motorcycle south on Johnsburg Road when he struck the driver's side of a 2021 Honda Civic that was turning north onto the same road from Miller Road. The motorcyclist, who police said was wearing a helmet, was taken to Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital and where he was pronounced dead. The 17-year-old driver of the Honda Civic suffered minor injuries and was also taken to Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital for treatment. The 45-year-old passenger in the Civic was not hurt, police said. Both were wearing seatbelts. Police believe the motorcycle's speed was a factor in the crash, and the incident remains under investigation by the Major Traffic Crash Investigation Unit as well as the McHenry County Coroner's Office.
