Skai Jackson is focusing on her family. Source: Emma McIntyre / Getty On Friday, July 18, the former Disney Channel star took to Instagram to share some absolutely adorable new pictures of her baby boy, Kasai. In celebration of her first child turning 6 months old, the actress uploaded a carousel of sweet snaps, giving anyone who sees them some serious baby fever! In the flicks, baby Kasai is wearing some striped overalls, and in some of them, he sat on the couch next to a puppy. This marks the first time Jackson showed her little one's full face, which caused people to flood the comments with their opinions on who the cutie looks like. 'Looking just like mommyyyyyy 😍,' one fan wrote. Another added, 'Awww she finally let the world see him so adorable ❤️.' This sweet display comes amid some drama for Kasai's father. On Monday, July 14, Skai Jackson's ex-boyfriend, Deondre Burgin, was arrested for aggravated robbery in an alleged carjacking with help from an FBI task force. According to reports from PEOPLE , Burgin was taken into custody by officers from the FBI Safe Streets Task Force and local police from Covington, Kentucky. The arrest happened outside of an Ulta Beauty in Newport, Kentucky, shortly after 7 p.m, Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders told the outlet, citing police reports. The warrant for Burgin's arrest–which was signed by a judge on June 30–was issued by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department in neighboring Ohio, Sanders. After waiving an extradition hearing on Tuesday, July 15, Burgin was extradited to Hamilton County and booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center on Thursday, July 17, shortly after 11 a.m. According to the report, Burgin and another suspect allegedly robbed the owner of a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C300 and a semi-automatic 9-caliber Glock handgun in the parking lot of a Cincinnati apartment complex. Jackson's ex is also accused of threatening the victim while carrying a handgun and pistol-whipping the victim. The victim told police that the two suspects proceeded to take his keys and flee with their gun and the vehicle, per PEOPLE . The victim had multiple facial lacerations visible to police and was transferred to a local hospital. Burgin's arrest on July 14 was separate from his previous arrest for a warrant on April 17.

8 Indian-Origin Men, Including NIA Most Wanted, Arrested In Gang Violence Case In US
Last Updated: Sources say the suspects had entered the US illegally and were allegedly involved in criminal activities both in America and in India. Eight Indian-origin people, including a man wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), have been arrested in the United States in connection with a gang-related kidnapping and torture investigation, officials confirmed on Sunday. Among those taken into custody is Pavittar Singh Batala, a known gangster from Punjab who is reportedly associated with the banned terror outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). Batala is currently facing charges filed by the NIA for his alleged involvement in terror activities. According to a statement from the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office in California, multiple law enforcement teams, including the FBI SWAT, Stockton Police Department SWAT, and local sheriff's offices, executed five coordinated search operations across San Joaquin County on July 11 as part of the probe. The suspects arrested have been identified as Dilpreet Singh, Arshpreet Singh, Amritpal Singh, Vishal, Pavittar Singh, Gurtaj Singh, Manpreet Randhawa, and Sarabjit Singh. Indian intelligence agencies believe all eight are part of a wider gangster-terror nexus. During the raids, authorities recovered five handguns—including a fully-automatic Glock—one assault rifle, large quantities of ammunition, high-capacity magazines, and over $15,000 in cash. The group faces several felony charges, including kidnapping, torture, conspiracy, false imprisonment, and witness intimidation. Additional firearms-related violations include possession of a machine gun, illegal assault weapon possession, manufacturing of high-capacity magazines, and possession of unregistered firearms. 'This takedown was part of the FBI's Summer Heat initiative, a nationwide effort targeting violent offenders and gang members who terrorise our communities," the sheriff's office said. 'Summer Heat reflects Director Patel's commitment to the American people to crush crime and restore safety in neighbourhoods across the country." Sources say the suspects had entered the US illegally and were allegedly involved in criminal activities both in America and in India. US-based Indian gangsters like Goldy Brar, Anmol Bishnoi, and Rohit Godara are also believed to be operating similarly, having used American soil to evade Indian law enforcement. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Digital design firm agrees to block 3D guns, following letter from Manhattan DA
One of the world's largest digital design platforms, Thingiverse, is taking new steps to block 3D-printed guns and gun parts after investigators in New York discovered an alarming number of design files for 3D-printed weapons available for download. Thingiverse began deploying automated technology to rapidly detect and remove digital files for 3D-printed firearms. "Thingiverse is committed to fostering a safe, welcoming, and collaborative environment for its global community. As part of this commitment, we regularly review and update our policies and procedures to help prevent the sharing of unlawful and harmful content, such as weapons and illegal materials, as outlined in our Acceptable Use Policy," the company said in a statement. "Following discussions with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office about concerns around untraceable firearms, we are taking additional steps to improve our content moderation efforts," they added. Untraceable ghost guns have become an increasing problem. One hundred and fifty ghost guns were seized in New York City in 2020. The number tripled in 2024. More recently, the ghost guns have evolved into weapons that can be made with nothing more than a 3D printer and a computer. A user can download a design file for Glock and print it within a few hours, concealed from public view. Earlier this year, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg sent letters to 3D printing companies asking them to help combat the spread of homemade guns, which he called a "growing threat." Luigi Mangione allegedly used a 3D-printed gun and silencer in the assassination-style killing of United Healthcare chief executive Brian Thompson. Mangione pleaded not guilty to federal charges. Bragg called on the companies to remove online blueprints, known as CAD files, that can be used to print firearms and gun parts without a background check. Before an individual can use a 3D printer, they need digital designs for the product they want to manufacture, commonly in the form of "STL", "3MF", or "OBJ" files. In the case of Thingiverse, one of the largest platforms in the digital design space, investigators from the district attorney's office and the NYPD found hundreds of CAD files for 3D-printed weapons, alarming both law enforcement and the company. As Thingiverse grew, its existing security measures could not keep up with weapons-related CAD files. Its engineers souped them up and a recent test found a significant number of those files no longer available, according to the district attorney's office. "Combating the proliferation of 3D-printed weapons remains a top priority for the Office, and I am grateful to Thingiverse for its willingness to collaborate on addressing this urgent issue," Bragg said. "It's good faith efforts to stop the spread of 3D-printed weapons into our communities should serve as a model for other 3D printing and digital design companies." This week, Bragg sent a similar letter to Bambu Lab, a China-based manufacturer of 3D printers. "The risk your product creates, as 3D printers are used more and more frequently in schools and homes, is unacceptable," Bragg wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by ABC News. He called on Bambu Lab to adopt a security measure used by a different company that checks print jobs against a database of gun blueprints and uses AI to attempt to recognize the shapes of common gun parts. When a user opts into this program, it blocks prints of detected firearms. "In order to protect your customers and our residents, and to provide additional roadblocks in the acquisition of illicit firearms, I urge that you implement similar security features as a default standard for all users of your product," the DA wrote. "Additionally, it is paramount that you explicitly ban the creation of illegal weapons in your company's user agreement, as your user's agreement makes no mention of rules regarding the use of Bambu technology for weapons acquisition." The district attorney's office conceded the measure will not stop the proliferation of ghost guns, but the goal is to make it harder for people to find the designs to create them.

'Wacky offers': Texts reveal Finks bikie tried to swap guns for cash, drugs on black market
WHEN Raptor Squad officers investigating the sale of illegal firearms by bikie gangs in the Hunter raided a property at Farley in August last year they found only small quantities of ice, MDMA, prescription drugs and cash stashed in a Louis Vuitton satchel bag hidden under a bed. Quizzed by police about their discovery, Finks bikie member Jackson John Rye admitted the drugs were his but said he had prescriptions for the medication and a winnings receipt for the cash. Rye, now 31, was arrested and taken to Maitland police station, but released the same day without charge. But it was what police would find in Rye's phone that would lead to his downfall. Eight days after his initial arrest, Raptor Squad police would pick up Rye again. And this time he wasn't going home. An analysis of Rye's phone revealed he had been using an encrypted messaging application to sell multiple firearms on the black market over a nine-day period in early July. Rye communicated with five unidentified people, negotiating the sale of a number of rifles and 12-gauge shotguns, according to court documents. He was after cash or to trade the guns for a combination of money, drugs and prescription medication. "Got some pretty wacky offers in [at the moment]," Rye told one person who asked about purchasing a .30-30 calibre lever-action repeating rifle. "$1000 cash and a box of [Valium] best offer so far." Another person who Rye was negotiating the sale of a rifle with wanted to see a picture of the gun to confirm it was in good condition. "I move a few of em bro always," Rye replied. "And I'm with a club bro I live by the sword. I'm straight up no bullshit. C---s get paranoid with these things but f--- it, just another deal haha." In another series of messages, Rye discussed selling a rifle to a person who admitted they knew nothing about guns but were looking for a weapon to defend themselves. "I just need a home defence weapon," the person said. "Is it gonna be useful against other c---s trying to shoot me?" After uncovering the encrypted messages, Rye was arrested again at Beresfield on August 28 last year and charged with a string of firearm offences. A short time later, police searched a home on View Street at East Branxton and seized a Glock firearm, a taser, a baton, knuckle dusters, ecstasy tablets, six vials of steroids and more than $2000 cash. Cayden Pearce, 19, was arrested at the property after police said he attempted to flee and hide inside the home. Police later said Rye had been selling multiple firearms, including rifles and shotguns, and that Pearce had purchased one of the guns not long before the raids. Pearce initially pleaded not guilty to a string of firearm, weapons, drugs, assault and damaging property offences, but changed his plea to guilty and in January was jailed for a maximum of three years, with a non-parole period of two years. After serving eight months behind bars, Pearce appealed against the severity of the sentence and in Newcastle District Court in May he was released on an intensive corrections order. Rye, who remains behind bars, has pleaded guilty to unlawfully selling firearms three times or more within a 12-month period and two counts of possession of an unauthorised firearm, relating to a lever-action .30-30 calibre repeating rifle and a double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun. Rye's matter was mentioned in Newcastle District Court for the first time on Thursday when it was set down for sentence in September.

Ethan Carter Shooting: Michigan Teen Survives Targeted Attack in Birmingham
Ethan Carter, an 18-year-old football player from Michigan, survived a brutal Ethan Carter shooting incident after being shot seven times during a gun sale setup in Birmingham, Alabama, last Saturday night. His father believes the attack was a targeted attempt to rob and kill him. The Ethan Carter shooting happened shortly before 6 p.m. near Winchester Drive and Ridgewood Circle on Birmingham's east side. Carter was trying to buy a Glock firearm arranged through social media when the attack took place. Police have confirmed there was no indication the sale was illegal. Ethan Carter shootin Brian Carter described the Ethan Carter shooting as a 'flat-out setup,' saying those involved intended to rob and leave Ethan for dead. Ethan was hit in the skull, hand, arm, and chest but miraculously survived. He was rushed to UAB Hospital with life-threatening injuries and was released Tuesday to continue his recovery in Michigan. Ethan recently graduated from Hudsonville High School and is committed to play football at Davenport University. Since 2021, he has trained in Birmingham at Step by Step Sports Training and stays with a host family close to the Carters. Brian praised Ethan's character, calling him 'one of the most giving, loving, tenderhearted people you will ever meet' and 'a natural born leader.' During the Ethan Carter shooting, Ethan was contacted on Snapchat by an unknown seller. Despite warnings from a local woman, he proceeded to the meeting where attackers opened fire. Ethan escaped on foot with help from bystanders. The suspects fled in Ethan's car, later found burned. No arrests have been made. Doctors described Ethan's survival as miraculous, with injuries that should have been fatal. Anyone with information about the Ethan Carter shooting is urged to contact Birmingham robbery detectives at 205-254-1753 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
