North Carolina judge revokes bond for house party shooting suspect
NEWTON, N.C. — A North Carolina judge ordered Thursday that a defendant accused in last weekend's shootings at a house party that left one person dead and 11 others injured stay in jail while awaiting trial. The decision came the day after another judge had set a $200,000 bond for Garon Nathaniel Killian, 20, of Lenoir, who is charged with one count of attempted first-degree murder related to the shootings.

North Carolina judge revokes bond for house party shooting suspect
NEWTON, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina judge ordered Thursday that a defendant accused in last weekend's shootings at a house party that left one person dead and 11 others injured stay in jail while awaiting trial. The decision came the day after another judge had set a $200,000 bond for Garon Nathaniel Killian, 20, of Lenoir, who is charged with one count of attempted first-degree murder related to the shootings. Prosecutors on Wednesday had asked that no bond be allowed. Killian had not posted the amount to be released. On Thursday, when Killian had a court date for charges involving a different altercation in April, District Court Judge Scott Conrad revoked the $200,000 bond related to last weekend's violent fracas, according to the Catawba County Clerk of Court's office. Investigators of the shootings that happened early Sunday believe at least 80 shots were fired in a crime scene that spanned several properties along a road in the usually quiet residential neighborhood. FBI agents spent this week at the scene examining bullet trajectories. The Catawba County Sheriff's Office has said that beyond Killian three people have been arrested and charged with crimes related to the party or shootings, and that authorities were seeking on Thursday two other men also wanted on attempted first-degree murder. Giving Killian on Wednesday the chance to post bond had angered local law enforcement leaders. Hickory city police announced previously that Killian and another young man had been charged with many counts — including attempted first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill — for an April 6 altercation in a parking lot that led to shots being fired into a crowd. No one was injured. Catawba Sheriff Don Brown said on Wednesday at a media briefing that while Killian was freed by posting bond several days later he 'should have never went back on the street,' and called the situation 'frustrating' and 'infuriating.' Shawn Patrick Hood, 58, of Lenoir, was killed in last weekend's gunfire. He was the oldest of the victims, who ranged in age from as young as 16, the sheriff's office said. Two of the other three people arrested were charged with three counts of helping someone underage 21 by allowing the possession of alcoholic beverages. The charges are related to the planning and promotion of the house party, the sheriff's office said. There were many juvenile or underage attendees, the state Division of Alcohol Law Enforcement said Wednesday. The other person arrested was charged as an accessory to attempted first-degree murder after the fact, the sheriff's office said.

Dozens of crows shot and killed in Westchester neighborhood, raising concerns of residents
A Westchester neighborhood is on edge as residents say that someone has been shooting and killing crows, a problem that has persisted for several years. They're concerned that these instances could eventually turn into something even more troubling. "It usually starts by hearing pop, pop, pop," said Brenna Lenoir, who has lived in the neighborhood for nearly a decade. "Some sort of a pellet or bullet noise, and then you hear the crows just go wild and then you'll see them all fly away. And then you'll see them fall out of the sky." She says that the issue began at around the same time that the COVID-19 pandemic began, and that in that time there have been about 100 crows that have been shot. On top of that, neighbors have found hawks, songbirds and other birds. The most recent instance came last Saturday. "I heard that first pop and the crows went crazy and first thing I saw when I looked out my window was an injured crow," Lenoir said. She took the crow to the California Wildlife Center in Calabasas for treatment. Los Angeles Police Department investigators were called to the area but said they were unable to locate any evidence of a shot being fired. It's just this, the lack of evidence and information over such a long span of time, that has neighbors so concerned. "I think things do escalate over time," Lenoir said. "My first worry, is it a pet next? How long before it hits children or one of us?" Last Eater the neighborhood had to all but cancel the holiday after between five and 10 birds were found dead in the neighborhood. "It was awful," said Julia Holowaty, who also lives in the neighborhood. "We had all the Easter eggs out here ready for a hunt. We couldn't let the kids go outside." Neighbors have one message to the shooter.

Mystery sniper killing dozens of crows in this Los Angeles neighborhood
Residents of a Westchester neighborhood are understandably on edge after finding dozens of crows shot to death around an elm tree in the community, with many saying they are now worried about pets and people getting hurt by the shooter. The crow killings have been a mystery on 8300 block of Chase Avenue for years, though resident Brenna Lenoir and her neighbors say the situation has recently escalated. They also say there appears to be no rhyme or reason for the shootings, that sometimes several crows are found dead from gunfire, while other times it's just one or two. Lenoir told KTLA's Mary Beth McDade that she and her neighbors can hear the shots coming from the east, one block over. 'It's really scary because I don't know if a bullet is going to ricochet or something,' she explained. 'You don't know who the person is or their mental state.' The most recent incidents happened on March 8. Three crows were found shot dead, while another was injured. 'Swatting' call locks down campus of Southern California college Lenoir treated the bird and took it to the California Wildlife Center in Calabasas in hopes that they could save the animal. Residents say that over the years, at least 100 of the birds, including two hawks, which are illegal to shoot, have been killed, most likely with a pellet or Airsoft rifle. Police have responded to the area several times and suggested neighbors pull their resources and set up cameras facing east to see if they can catch any of the activity. 'I just want this to stop,' Lenoir told KTLA. 'I want us to feel safe and I don't want to have dead birds all around our neighborhood anymore. It's pretty upsetting.'

49ers' Lenoir subtly shades Seahawks after Metcalf trade request
49ers' Lenoir subtly shades Seahawks after Metcalf trade request originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area The 49ers' future matchups with their NFC West rivals could look a lot different. Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf requested a trade from Seattle on Wednesday, per multiple reports, and the team has decided to explore it. As expected, the news took the NFL world by storm as fans, players and media members alike collectively reacted. But San Francisco cornerback Deommodore Lenoir's reaction took an interesting turn. 'Bro You can't leave Seattle you the only one that made that game fun,' Lenoir wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. Bro You can't leave Seattle you the only one that made that game fun — Deommodore lenoir (@Dmo_lenoir) March 5, 2025 But he wasn't done. Lenoir later went live on Instagram and further discussed Metcalf's trade request while shading the receiver's teammate, second-year pro Jaxon Smith-Njigba. 'Y'all cannot let DK leave,' Lenoir said. 'Y'all can't do that. Like how am I going to have fun out there? Njigba, he be crying all day. He cries. That's all he do is cry. 'Ref, he's holding. He's holding, ref. Oh no, don't hurt me.' Crybaby. 'But back to DK, we can't let you leave, bro. Unless you want to be a Niner. That's the only way. But then again, I like going against you. Because you're the only receiver that's going to be out there really on that time. You going to come and try to hit somebody in the face, and I got to show you that I ain't no Buster. Hit you back. Then we just going at it.' #49ers Deommodore Lenoir went on IG Live to react to DK Metcalf trade request and called out #Seahawks WR Jaxson Smith-Njigba 👀 'Y'all cannot let DK (Metcalf) Leave. How am I going to have fun out there? Njigba he be crying all day. That's all he do is cry…Crybaby.' — 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙎𝙁𝙉𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 (@TheSFNiners) March 5, 2025 Lenoir, who spends his time on the field defending some of the NFL's best receivers but acts as a recruiter off the field, clarified that he wasn't trying to sway Metcalf to come to the Bay, even after the 49ers agreed to trade star receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders. He reiterated that he was 'mad' and 'hot' Wednesday morning after learning about Metcalf asking out, but it all stems down to the competitor in him wanting to go against the best — especially in a historic rivalry already as tense as the 49ers-Seahawks is. The Seahawks also released longtime wide receiver Tyler Lockett on Wednesday morning. Smith-Njigba took to his X account to share a two-word response to all the movement happening around his team. Ayooo wtf — JSN (@jaxon_smith1) March 5, 2025 As divisional opponents, the 49ers will face the Seahawks once at home and once in Seattle during the 2025 regular season. And it's only a matter of time until we figure out if Lenoir will be having 'fun' during those matchups or not. Download and follow the 49ers Talk Podcast
