Gary man guilty in connection with 13-year-old's gang-linked murder
A Lake Superior Court jury deliberated a few hours Friday afternoon before finding the second man charged in a 13-year-old's gang-linked killing guilty of murder. Dahvee Brunson, 19, of Gary, was charged in connection with Orie Dodson's death. His sentencing is slated for Sept. 26; he faces gun and gang enhancements when sentenced. Prosecutors allege Brunson, Elijah Porter and Kriston Barbee gunned down Dodson in a drive-by shooting around noon in front of Gary's Power and Light Church on Feb. 15, 2023. Authorities believe that in a two-way Instagram Live video, Dodson was disrespecting Julius 'Chop' James IV, 24 — a 'revered' and 'untouchable' figure in the 49th Avenue Boys gang, according to court records. James was gunned down in Gary on Feb. 11, 2019. Brunson had been starting to 'associate' with a rival 5th Ave. gang, prosecutors said. Police recovered 38 bullet casings. Dodson ran as shots rang out. He died from a single shot to the back. He was also wounded twice in the legs. Prosecutors acknowledged it was a circumstantial case. Defense lawyers argued Brunson stayed at his mom's house that day. Brunson carried a phone without a SIM card – meaning there was no cellphone tower location data from that device placing him at the scene. Murder weapons were not recovered. In closing arguments, Deputy Prosecutor Tim Brown created a timeline of events leading to Dodson's murder. Barbee – who got 125 years for the killing in August – was Brunson's 'bestie,' he told jurors. That morning, Brunson messaged someone saying he was 'finna go' to Gary's west side. Cellphone location data showed Barbee was in the area where Brunson lived that morning – as if to pick him up. Dodson missed a video call from Brunson's social media account about 20 minutes before the shooting – as prosecutors alleged they stalked and tracked him. 'What a coincidence,' Brown said. Another man – whom Brunson was trying to sell guns to – texted him around 11:40 a.m. that he was outside Brunson's mom's house. Brunson responded around 2:40 p.m. It suggested he wasn't at home at the time of the murder, Brown argued. Brunson's mother – who testified – was vague, saying she saw him at breakfast and dinner, Brown said. Later, he told jurors she didn't want to 'get specific' because she knew her son killed the boy. Gary Police Detective Justin Clark tried to call her at least twice and she never appeared for an interview. 'She was a mom (trying) to save her son,' Brown said, of her testimony. Court documents detail a text exchange between Brunson and his mother the next day, on Feb. 16, 2023, after news of Dodson's murder broke. 'It ain't nun you did 2 make me act this way or do the stuff I do ma I promise I love you and immmma be safe,' Brunson wrote. 'I'm sick to she replied. 'You don't even …know Chop!!! (Expletive) CHOP!! Now ya'll kill me.' 'Lol wasn't I wit you when tht boy died lol,' he wrote. 'Yu think I killed tht lol boy jus like the last 1.' After the shooting, Brown said Brunson's homemade rap videos uploaded online appeared to shift with lyrics alluding to Dodson's death. Cellphone pictures taken days afterwards showed pictures of bullet casings from the same brand found at the crime scene. Defense lawyer Herb Shaps said there were too many holes – there was no credible DNA, fingerprints, tattoos showing gang affiliation, or proof he actually left his mom's house. The prosecution barely called any regular people to the witness stand, he said. The man whom Brunson tried to sell guns to was not called. Ladaisha Baker, Porter's then-girlfriend who was on the Instagram chat, wasn't called. No cameras were showing Barbee picking Brunson up that day. Because police found three sets of bullet casings, they presumed three people were in the silver GMC Arcadia. They had no proof, Shaps argued. Barbee could have been carrying more than one gun. They needed 'not just a theory, not just a conclusion,' but 'real evidence.' 'Their whole case is circumstantial evidence,' he said, later adding it wasn't 'a case of guilt by association.' Brown retorted that a drive-by shooting wouldn't necessarily have DNA evidence. Brunson's mom 'actually kinda incriminated him,' he argued. 'She was so real,' he said. 'She thought he was the killer.' Musicians such as Jay-Z have lobbied state legislatures in recent years to bar prosecutors from using rap lyrics in court, saying it's not evidence. Brown told jurors there were too many details that referred to Dodson. 'That is not artistry,' Brown said. 'That is a confession.'

Bryce James Hints LeBron James' Retirement May Be Coming Soon
Bryce James Hints LeBron James' Retirement May Be Coming Soon originally appeared on Fadeaway World. LeBron James, the face of the NBA for two decades, is once again at the center of speculation, but this time, the biggest clue about his future may have come from his own son. Bryce James, the youngest of LeBron's two basketball-playing sons, offered a candid and rather revealing comment during an Instagram Live session that strongly suggests the King's reign could end after the 2025–26 NBA season. Bryce, an incoming freshman at the University of Arizona, was asked whether he believed his father would still be in the NBA long enough to share the court with him, similar to the way LeBron and Bronny James have been linked. His response was both casual and telling: 'I ain't gonna lie, that's OD. Waiting until that's too much. They said my dad still gonna be in the league when I get drafted... That's too much. No. No. He's gonna be 42, bro.' It was the kind of offhand comment that sparks a firestorm, especially given the layered context surrounding LeBron's future. James recently opted into his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers, seemingly committing to one more season in Los Angeles. Yet, his agent Rich Paul later complicated the narrative by telling ESPN that James and the Lakers aren't necessarily on the same page. Trade rumors started bubbling again. Retirement whispers resurfaced. And now Bryce's comment seems to support the theory that 2025–26 could be LeBron's last dance. At 40 years old, LeBron remains remarkably effective. Last season, he averaged over 25 points and nearly 8 assists per game, still orchestrating offense like a maestro. But the physical toll of 22 NBA seasons, playoff marathons, four Olympic runs, and nonstop media attention has to weigh heavily, even on someone who treats his body like a temple. Adding fuel to the fire is the viral video in which LeBron casually mentioned that his wife, Savannah, wants him to retire. While that could have been lighthearted, in hindsight, it aligns with the idea that the family is leaning toward the end being near. Bryce's perspective adds unique credibility because he's close enough to LeBron to know his intentions, yet detached enough to speak honestly. If his assumption is that his father won't be playing in the NBA by 2026, it speaks volumes. The idea that LeBron wouldn't stick around to play with both sons, something once believed to be a bucket-list goal, suggests that reality may be setting in. Bronny is already with the Lakers. Bryce, a three-star recruit, still has a few years to go. And LeBron, turning 42 by then, may simply not want to or be able to stretch his career that far. No formal announcement has been made. LeBron, ever the master of controlling his narrative, may want one last season to dictate the farewell on his own terms. But if Bryce is right, we may already be witnessing the final chapter of a career unlike any the sport has ever story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Fans shower their ire on Shaquille O'Neal's skeptical take on Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson's relationship
via Getty Images: Shaquille O'Neal comments on Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion Shaquille O'Neal recently revived his 'Shaqstradamus' persona, known for bold predictions, with his latest comments have drawn criticism from NBA fans. The basketball legend faced accusations of being a hater after sharing his thoughts on the new romance between Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson and Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion . Shaquille O'Neal's 'six weeks' statement got backlash from the fans On a recent episode of The Big Podcast, O'Neal reacted to the couple's relationship with skepticism. When co-host Adam Lefkoe mentioned the budding romance, O'Neal rolled his eyes and shook his head. During a DraftKings-inspired segment, Lefkoe asked Shaq to set betting odds on how long Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion's relationship would last. O'Neal quickly dismissed the idea of their romance enduring, stating he wouldn't bet on its longevity with max limit of six weeks. "Give It 6 Weeks" Shaq & Mike Tyson REACT To Meagan Thee Stallion Dating Klay Thompson The podcast moved on after less than three minutes on the topic, but fans and social media users lingered, accusing O'Neal of jealousy and bitterness. Within hours, old Instagram Live clips resurfaced, highlighting O'Neal's apparent interest in Megan Thee Stallion. In one 2023 post, O'Neal joined her IG Live, commenting, "Merry Christmas boo boo," as she prepared for a performance. What did fans have to say on Shaquille O'Neal's bitter statement? A clip captured him among 49,000 viewers watching Megan Thee Stallion twerk to her hit "WAP," where he wrote, "Watching that booty." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Struggling With Belly Fat? Try This at Home Home Fitness Hack Shop Now Undo These moments fueled online backlash, with one user commenting, "Shaq said six weeks because he couldn't even get six minutes with her." Another added, "Love you, big fella, but you're just mad Klay beat you to it." The resurfaced comments sparked accusations of attention-seeking, prompting O'Neal to clarify his intentions. He explained, "I was on the line and in the comments. Somebody asked me what I was doing, and I said, 'I'm watching the booty.' What do you mean, what am I doing? That's what twerking is for, right?" He insisted his remarks were not meant to be disrespectful, describing Megan as "athletic, so beautiful, and so gorgeous" and emphasizing that his words were "in a positive way." He's set to join Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley on ESPN's basketball broadcasts and has hinted at appearances on other network programs. Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion have not publicly addressed O'Neal's remarks. Given the public's interest in Megan's dating history, especially following her legal issues with Tory Lanez, fans seem more focused on supporting the couple than engaging with O'Neal's critique. While Shaq's larger-than-life persona continues to stir conversation, his comments on this romance have only amplified the scrutiny he faces online.

Laverne Cox reveals she dated 'blue-eyed MAGA republican voter' for three years
Laverne Cox has opened up about her love life, and many of her fans are feeling betrayed. In a teaser for her upcoming one-woman show, Gurrl, How Did I Get Here, Cox revealed that she was in a relationship with a "blonde-haired, blue-eyed MAGA republican voter who is a New York City police officer" for nearly four years. Cox's one-woman show opens July 28 at City Winery in New York City. She teased that she would be talking about her former relationships, including with a man who was 22 years younger than her. "We were madly in love. I did not develop any of his politics. I still have my own," she said. Cox's followers and fans quickly responded. Many felt betrayed that Cox would form such a long relationship with someone who voted for and supported a transphobic, racist, fascist president and works for an institution that has targeted Black and trans people for over a hundred years. "'We were in love'… you sure about that sis? When someone loves you, they honor and respect who you are, your experiences and will fight for your right to exist. His politics say otherwise. Just tell us the D was good, that's more believable." @kanyaac129 said. "So he voted against everything you are?? AND you're okay with that?" @ravetravelretreat added. Cox followed up with an over 50-minute Instagram Live session, where she opened up further about the relationship, her reasons for being in it, and the criticisms she was receiving from fans. In the video, Cox acknowledged that "the children are gagging" about the relationship, and she didn't expect the reaction to be so extreme. She explained that she met her ex-boyfriend on Tinder, and when they started dating, she didn't know his political views or his profession, but fell in love with him as a person. "He has a beautiful soul and has really beautiful qualities," she said. When his beliefs came out, Cox felt a strong connection and was "attempting to see his humanity beyond" his politics. She also acknowledged that maybe she was being naive in the relationship. "I fell in love with someone who voted for a fascist regime... But he was complicated, and he fell in love with me. And neither of us expected that to happen," she said. Still, despite him voting for a party that wants to eliminate people like Cox from public life, it was the best relationship she ever had, and the irony of that was "shocking." Cox said she felt like people in the comments were dehumanizing those who have different political beliefs, and she doesn't believe that is the way forward. "Dehumanizing anyone is not consistent with my values. Fascism is not consistent with my values. I am an anti-fascist. I never adapted any of my exes' politics. I always challenged him with love and empathy… often corrected him with facts, and I wanted to see if it was possible to have a relationship with someone who had different political beliefs." While Cox acknowledged that the MAGA movement dehumanizes people like her, she insisted her ex-boyfriend did not. "This dude was dating me; he was in love with me. He didn't want to erase me," she said. Cox added that "the good things about the relationship were so good that I was willing to work with the politics that I don't agree with." Still, many fans said Cox was engaging in "fascist apologia" for saying that not everyone who voted for Trump or supports him is a fascist. They argued that you can see someone as a human without being their friend or romantic partner. As the Republican party continued to escalate its attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, people of color, and women, the relationship started to strain. Cox said the two of them broke up in March 2024, and as the election got closer, it "became more difficult to be magnanimous with him." Then, when some of his implicit racial biases "came out" towards the end of the relationship, "that was the end." She added that she doesn't "think I'd be able to be in a relationship with him this year." Cox said that she knows people won't understand, and she is still processing the relationship, but she doesn't regret leaning into love.
