3rd suspect arrested in Audubon Park shooting, all suspects in court Wednesday
DAPHNE, Ala. (WKRG) — A third suspect turned himself in overnight to Daphne police, who believe they now have everyone involved in that drug deal that ended in gunfire last week, leaving two people fighting for their lives. FBI joins investigation of deadly Clarke County crash that killed 2, injured 4 Timothy Franklin, 18, Skylar Jemison, 18, and a 16-year-old, who will remain unidentified because of his age, are all charged as adults and faced a judge for the first time on Wednesday for a bond hearing. A Daphne Police Department detective told the judge it was Jemison who shot Matthew Barnes, 18, and Demond Walker, 20, and that Franklin and the other teenager were in the van too when they tried to buy marijuana with fake movie money. It happened at Audubon Park Apartments a week ago. The gunfire erupted inside a minivan owned by Walker, one of the victims. According to investigators, when Walker realized the money was fake, the 16-year-old suspect said he would go and get the real money, opened the door of the van, and that's when police say Jemison opened fire. In court, Jemison's attorney, Hunter Hardin, told the court his client had never been in trouble before, had strong ties to the community, and he was reasonably sure he would show up for court. Prosecutors requested a $100,000 bond on each charge for each defendant, and the judge agreed. Jemison's bond was set at a total of $400,000 on charges of attempted murder and first-degree robbery. Bond was set at $200,000 each for Franklin and the 16-year-old suspect, who are both charged with first-degree robbery. 3 Mobile County men arrested in FBI-led 'Operation Restore Justice' There is also a new update on the victims: Matthew Barnes remains in critical condition. According to testimony, he was shot in the neck and is paralyzed and on a ventilator. Walker, who was shot in the face, has been moved out of the critical care unit and is in stable condition.

Foley investigation leads to sentencing of two men in fake gold conspiracy case over 3 states
FOLEY, Ala. (WKRG) — A Foley Police Department investigation that began in 2023 has led to the federal sentencing of two men involved in a fake gold conspiracy case that spanned three states. Prichard Police looking for card skimmer suspects after device found in store According to the Department of Justice, 42-year-old Rossi Windham, 21-year-old Dylan Jemison and a minor sold fake gold and silver to people. A City of Foley news release said a victim of the conspiracy had contacted FPD after buying $20,000 worth of the fake gold from Jemison. The victim said Jemison had reached back out to him again offering to sell more counterfeit items. FPD officials set up a sting operation where the victim set up a meeting to buy more gold but Jemison was really met with a Foley officer, who found Jemison with a backpack full of fake gold bars, according to the release. Police said they were able to recover almost 100 fake gold bars from Jemison and the victim. Jemison was charged with first-degree theft of property and first-degree attempted theft of property. Officials said the victim was able to 'provide information that implicated the minor' a few days after Jemison's arrest. Because there were multiple people involved, it became a potential conspiracy, which is a federal crime. FPD officials then contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The release said FPD officials issued a public service announcement asking for other possible victims to come forward. That is when the officials received calls from victims in Alabama and Georgia. Officials searched Jemison's phone, which 'revealed the scale of the fraud scheme,' according to the release. 'Investigators determined that the incident began when the minor began advertising gold and silver bars and coins for sale on Facebook Marketplace,' read the release. 'Investigators found evidence that Windham, Jemison and the minor conspired to fraudulently sell counterfeit precious metals to victims in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.' Officials said the minor claimed that he had inherited the counterfeit items from a relative and that he was selling them below market value in order to buy a truck and put money towards college. Windham allegedly helped the minor sell the items by arranging the sales and sometimes going with the minor to meet the victim, according to the DOJ. The release said at least once Windham handled the sale himself. Officials said the three people were able to get over $120,000 from victims — some were reimbursed by Windham. Monroe County road reopens after crash The court ordered Windham and Jemison to pay $87,000 in restitution to seven victims. They also agreed to 'forfeit their illicit proceeds to the United States,' according to the release. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

CBS News Anchor Schooled For Saying 1 Word To Female Astronaut
The first Black woman to go into space made one small step for gender equality on Monday. Dr. Mae Jemison, who spent eight days in space in September 1992, spent Monday morning commenting about the Blue Origin space flight featuring an all-female celebrity crew that included Katy Perry and Gayle King. During a CBS News segment that aired before the rocket launch, Jemison noted how her own experience taught her that people can be so 'human-centric that we forget we are part of this greater universe.' She also threw a little shade at her interviewer, Vladimir Duthiers, after he expressed surprise that scientific experiments would take place during the flight. 'I don't think a lot of people knew [that],' the CBS host said. 'They thought it was just six women going up into space for a joy ride.' 'What do you mean, just six women?' Jemison pushed back. 'Well, that's what I mean,' Duthiers said, before his fellow interviewer, Nate Burleson, attempted damage control. 'He's speaking to the perspective and some of the narratives that are out there,' Burleson said, and Duthiers took the lifeline. 'That's what I mean!' Duthiers added, 'I'm glad that you're here to help me correct that narrative.' But Jemison had to correct the narrative again, almost immediately after Duthiers asked her to explain to viewers 'why even a trip like this one, all the trips that we take into space, benefit mankind.' Jemison then gently reminded her interviewer, 'Uhh, so, it benefits humankind.' She then promised to 'keep correcting the 'mankind,' and the 'man-made,' and the 'manned missions' because this is exactly what this mission is about, is expanding the perspective of who does space.' Duthiers, understanding the gravity of using 'mankind' in a situation that was supposed to celebrate women, quickly corrected himself. 'Humankind. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,' he said. Jemison then explained why space travel benefits everyone, regardless of gender. 'Why is space important?' she said. 'When you just look at it, when you go up, you get a perspective on this world that you can't get from looking down on the ground, and you can get it much faster.'
