Man charged in deadly Goodyear group home stabbing once spent time in prison for manslaughter
The Brief We sat down with the family of a Native American man who was stabbed to death in a group home. Reno Caddo was 24 when he was killed at a facility in Goodyear. The suspect, Glynn Peaches, was Caddo's roommate at the facility. GOODYEAR, Ariz. - For two years, we've extensively covered the Sober Living Scheme that led to a $2 billion Medicaid scandal, with tribal members used as assets to bill the state for addiction treatment rarely provided. The Sober Living Scheme made national headlines in 2023, after people went missing and even died in certain facilities due to a lack of oversight and regulation by state agencies, stemming back to a time before the COVID-19 Pandemic. It's a scandal with repercussions still being felt by vulnerable people fighting addiction not just within Arizona, but from reservations across the country, as a majority of them are members of native tribes. In this latest report, we hear from family members of a Native American man who was stabbed to death in a group home, as they demand accountability. The backstory The deadly stabbing happened in Goodyear, at a behavioral health residential facility that looks like any other house. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, located near Indian School Road and Falcon Drive, now sits seemingly empty. It was there on April 12, 2025 when 24-year-old Reno Caddo was killed. According to Goodyear Police, Caddo was stabbed more than 10 times by his roommate, Glynn Peaches. Peaches said he and Caddo were drinking, and Caddo was being disrespectful. Caddo, according to Peaches, later pulled a kitchen knife on him, which led to a fight for the weapon. Peaches, who is accused of first-degree murder, had previous run-ins with the law. Dig deeper According to records from the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR), Peaches, who is 45, served two decades in an Arizona prison for manslaughter. Per the records, Peaches was given the sentence on March 13, 2003. While in prison, Peaches was disciplined several times for possessing a weapon, assaulting an inmate, and disorderly conduct. He was released from prison in September 2023. As for charges filed against him in connection with Caddo's death, Peaches has pleaded not guilty. He is represented by a public defender, and the Maricopa County Office of the Public Defender has issued a statement that reads: "This is a deeply unfortunate situation that unfolded in the context of a severely mismanaged and ill-equipped group home – an environment that failed in its responsibility to protect vulnerable individuals. We look forward to receiving full discovery to better understand the circumstances leading to these charges, and to ensure that Mr. Peaches' rights are safeguarded throughout the legal process." As for the Goodyear address, officials with the Arizona Department of Health Services have it listed under "His Mercy Assisted LLC." The license was closed in November 2024. We reached out to "His Mercy Assisted," and was told the provider left the home several months ago. Days before AZDHS updated the AZ Care Check profile for this address, we saw it listed under "The Academy Behavioral Health & Wellness," an unlicensed sober living home. The owner said his company placed clients in the home on April 2, but moved out after Caddo's death. We reached out to officials with AZDHS regarding the name change, and they said there was a "data entry error and the entry has been corrected." By the numbers According to the City of Goodyear, police have received 184 calls for service related to group homes from January 2024 through May 2025. During that same timeframe, the city documented 75 unlicensed homes. However, neither the City of Goodyear nor its police department can tell us exactly how many of these properties are sober living homes or behavioral health residential facilities that are unlicensed. A spokesperson said facilities frequently change names, which makes it a challenge to classify the type of homes operating. The city currently recognizes three licensed sober living homes within the area. Meanwhile, Goodyear Police officials say there has been no increase or decrease in calls for group homes. Department officials said they are trying to improve how calls are categorized between mental health, substance abuse and other issues. It has been over a month since Caddo was killed, and his family is still searching for answers. "I was told that he got murdered," said Caddo's sister, Nekeshia. Nekeshia still has questions about the brutal attack. What Nekeshia Said "That night, I just heard they were drinking," said Nekeshia. "I don't know who got the liquor, but they were both drinking because they were in the same room." Caddo's oldest sister, Shamira, was unaware that Caddo was staying in a residential facility for behavioral health. What Shamira Said "It was a shock, definitely. I think I was still in the state of denial, and I feel like I still am in this state of denial," said Shamira. "I've seen a lot of the stories being covered, but I think I sort of came at it with an arrogant mindset of, like 'oh, that only happens to people who allow themselves to be vulnerable to that system.'" We also asked Shamira for her reaction to finding out that her brother was sharing a room with a convicted felon who spent time in prison for manslaughter. "That is reckless, you know, and it's sad because my brother paid that price for their recklessness, and there should be some justice held on their end, too," said Shamira. Shamira just wants justice for her brother, and accountability from the provider that she believes was supposed to keep him safe.

Did Selena Gomez Take a Dig at Justin Bieber? Suspicion Rises After Baby Singer's Mean Remarks Towards Wife Hailey Bieber
Justin Bieber has yet again come under the radar for his controversial congratulatory message to his wife, Hailey Bieber. The Peaches singer posted the picture of the Rhode founder's Vogue magazine cover and shared that during an ugly fight, he told the mom of one that she would never be able to make it on the cover page. Just a few hours after the post, Selena Gomez, too, shared an Instagram story that caught the fans' attention. The Only Murders in the Building star shared a picture of a quote from the self-help book, which read, "You discover you have the ability to erase one person's greatest pain. Who would you use this gift on, and why?" The social media users believed that the actress-singer might have taken a dig at her ex-boyfriend amid the ongoing controversy. As for his post, Bieber was criticized, as the fans believed that the new dad in town should have penned the words of praise for his wife instead of recalling the insulting sentences he blurted out to her. In the now edited caption, the musician stated, 'Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue. Yikes, I know, so mean.' He further added, 'For some reason, I felt so disrespected. I thought I gotta get even. I think as we mature, we realize that we're not helping anything by getting even. we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection.' As for Justin and Gomez, the duo dated on and off for several years, from 2014 to 2018. Within only four months of breaking up with the Monte Carlo star, Bieber proposed to Hailey, and the duo got married in the same year itself. Selena Gomez is currently engaged to the record producer, Benny Blanco.

‘I told my mum I had met my husband': Emma Lung's second chance at love
This story is part of the May 18 edition of Sunday Life. See all 14 stories. Actor Emma Lung has starred in films alongside some of the industry's biggest names, including Hugo Weaving and Brian Cox. The 43-year-old, who stars opposite Asher Keddie in streaming series Strife, also discusses how she and her now husband had a second chance at love. My grandfather, James, was born in Guangzhou [China]. He moved to Papua New Guinea after he finished high school. From there, he moved to Sydney, where he met my grandmother, Colleen. Together, they had seven children. I called my grandfather Y éye (Mandarin for paternal grandfather). I didn't know him for a lot of my early life, as our family lived in Tokyo, where my father, Gary, and mother, Heather, taught English. But when we returned to Sydney, I knew him as a gentle and wise man. I couldn't ask for a more loving father. He's been in my corner since day one and continues to be. There's really nothing he wouldn't do for me. Dad is gregarious, hilarious and impatient. He's also an absolute cinephile, and so I grew up watching Woody Allen and Rob Reiner and all the films of the 1970s. From him, I've inherited my sense of curiosity, adventure and tenacity – probably my loudmouth tendencies, too. My teenage celebrity crush was River Phoenix. I still can barely say his name without my heart missing a beat. My first serious relationship came when I was 13. I'd met Thorald at [Sydney's] Newtown School of Performing Arts. When I was 15, I managed to convince my parents to let me attend an acting school in New York for the last term of year 10, and so I moved there with Thorald and his mum. When I came back, I sent a video audition to the Professional Performing Arts School of Manhattan. I got accepted, and so I completed my final year of drama school in New York. When Thorald and I came back to Australia, he wanted to return [to New York]. I wasn't ready for that, and six months or so later, we split up. We're still very much in touch. My 10-year-old son, Marlowe, and his first child were born six hours apart. I was 19 when I appeared with Hugo Weaving in Peaches. The love scenes were really intense, but there was no sort of worry as Hugo is the most kind and gentle soul. Looking back, it would have been extremely hard for him, too, as he had a daughter around 10 years younger than me. But you'd be hard-pressed to find too many actors as professional as him.

Justin Bieber Breaks Silence on Whether He Was Among Diddy's Victims amid Rapper's Sex Trafficking Trial
Justin Bieber has released a statement via his rep addressing whether he was among Sean "Diddy" Combs' alleged victims amid the rapper's ongoing sex trafficking trial "Although Justin is not among Sean Combs' victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him," the rep said "Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve,' the spokesperson addedJustin Bieber has broken his silence amid Sean "Diddy" Combs' ongoing sex trafficking trial. The "Peaches" singer, 31, has largely remained quiet regarding his former friend and longtime collaborator Combs' September arrest, following multiple sexual assault and sex trafficking accusations against him. However, Bieber's rep has now released a statement to confirm that he was not one of the Bad Boy Records founder's victims. "Although Justin is not among Sean Combs' victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him," the spokesperson said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. "Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve," the rep added. Combs' sex trafficking trial began on Monday, May 12, after the rap mogul was indicted in September on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty. After Combs' arrest, a source told PEOPLE in September that Bieber was focusing on his family after welcoming his son, Jack Blues, with his wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber, the month prior. 'He's aware of Diddy's arrest and all the allegations,' the insider told PEOPLE at the time. 'It's not anything that he wants to focus on, though." Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage? Sign up for for breaking crime news, ongoing trial coverage and details of intriguing unsolved cases. In March of last year, a clip of Combs hanging out with a 15-year-old Bieber resurfaced after the rapper's properties were raided as the allegations against him mounted. In the video, shared to Bieber's YouTube page in 2009, the "Love Yourself" singer and Combs were in the midst of spending 48 hours together — and while the record producer refused to "disclose" what they were up to, they discussed the prospect of getting "some girls." The clip opened with Combs showing Bieber his Lamborghini and offering to give him the car once he turned 16, as well as his mansion once the young star was 18. "You ever seen the movie 48 Hrs? Right now [Justin is] having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy," the rapper said, adding, "They're having the times of their lives." "Where we hanging out and what we're doing we can't really disclose. But it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream," he said in the video. "For the next 48 hours, he's with me. And we're gonna go full. Buck full crazy," Combs told the camera elsewhere in the clip, before asking Bieber what he was looking to do during their time together. "Let's just go get some girls," Bieber said, as Combs replied, "Man after my heart. That's what I'm talking about." Read the original article on People
