RODEO — In the hours after 2-year-old King Kemp died from internal injuries suffered during multiple prolonged beatings, his 21-year-old mother’s boyfriend allegedly described to police how he and King’s mother would “discipline” her toddler boy and baby girl in tandem — he would hold them down and she would punch.Police say that the confession by 21-year-old Tyshawn Haywood painted a picture of rampant physical abuse inside the Rodeo apartment where Haywood lived with his girlfriend, 22-year-old Destiny Deboe, and Deboe’s two children, King, and a 10-month-old girl whose name is being protected by the pseudonym Jane Doe. By the end of the police investigation, Haywood and Deboe had been charged with murder, child abuse, and torture, and investigators learned that Deboe had recently moved to the Bay Area from Ohio shortly after police there opened a child abuse investigation against her, according to authorities.Medical records showed evidence of ...

Some of the metrics used in the study included the number of mass shootings, assaults per capita and traffic fatalities.The 41 safety metrics were compiled into three categories: home and community safety, natural disaster risk and financial safety and were graded on a 100-point scale, with 100 representing the “safest” city. These California cities named as the ‘safest’ for trick-or-treating, study says Cities from the Golden State ranked low on the list.  The highest ranked California city on the list was Irvine in Orange County, earning the 33rd spot and scoring 79.86 overall.The city of Fremont, which was ranked 17th last year, went down to 49th place in the updated study....

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — From her first college game, Ta’Niya Latson showed she could score at an unexpectedly high level for Florida State — better than anyone else in the Atlantic Coast Conference, in fact.She’s back for another season with the 18th-ranked Seminoles, joined by a deep well of returning scorers and all-ACC picks for the 2023-24 season.“I’m just really excited to go against those girls and showcase what we’ve got, too,” Latson said Tuesday during the league’s women’s basketball media day.Considering how many are back, she will get plenty of opportunities in league play, too.Latson — a 5-foot-8 guard who averaged 21.3 points and was named league rookie of the year — is among eight players who return from the 10-player all-ACC first team last year. That list includes two-time player of the year Elizabeth Kitley from an eighth-ranked Virginia Tech team coming off its first Final Four trip.The league also returns 12 of its top 15 scorers...

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Brais Méndez scored again as Real Sociedad beat Benfica 1-0 in Lisbon on Tuesday to hand the Portuguese champion its third straight defeat in the Champions League.Ander Barrenetxea set up the midfielder in the 63rd minute to tap in the winner. It was a deserved goal for the visitors who were in control throughout of the Group D game.Méndez scored in a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan and in a 2-0 victory at Salzburg in the other Champions League games.The visitors put Benfica under pressure though wasted several chances, while both teams had a goal disallowed for offside in the first half.Benfica coach Roger Schmidt sent on substitutes Arthur Cabral and Orkun Kokçu at the beginning of the second half to try to revive his attack.With three consecutive losses, and not a single goal scored, Benfica looks unlikely to return to the knockout stage after the Portuguese champion reached the quarterfinals last season.Real Sociedad is making its third Champions League grou...

The Oilers believe this rare Connor McDavid absence could provide a spark after a slow start

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:54:03 GMT

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Edmonton Oilers were already scuffling when their season took another early turn for the worse, an upper body injury that sidelined team captain and three-time NHL MVP Connor McDavid.Alternative methods of motivation for the Oilers were clearly preferred to this expected absence of 1-2 weeks after the five-time scoring champion suffered an unspecified muscular injury late in the third period of their overtime loss Saturday to Winnipeg.Perhaps this will be just the jolt the Oilers needed.“It’s obviously a huge loss to our team. It definitely leaves some opportunities on the table for guys. I think it’ll be good for the squad, too, just to be a little bit more hungry,” left wing Dylan Holloway said.The Oilers (1-3-1) were just 23rd in the league with an average of 2.6 goals per game entering their game Tuesday night at Minnesota. Without McDavid, who led the NHL with both 64 goals and 89 assists last season, the pressure to score has increased on fellow star...
