A 9-year-old boy in Atlanta was nearly shot to death while sleeping in his home over the weekend — with a bullet going through his back and into his leg, where it became lodged “close to a large artery” — during a drive-by shooting that saw his uncle return fire to “defend the family,” the victim’s aunt says.

“I was asleep,” the boy told local Fox affiliate WAGA on Saturday after being discharged from the hospital with the bullet still inside of him. “I was just crying because I was bleeding, and I didn’t know they were gunshots.”

A California man claims in a lawsuit that police officers falsely arrested him and used excessive force after he crashed his car into a 20-foot ditch while having a seizure.Jack Bruce filed the lawsuit Friday in the U.S. Northern District of California against the Hercules Police Department and the three cops involved in the April 1 incident. Bruce had just visited his grandmother and was driving home when, for the first time in his life, he suffered a seizure. He slowly drove off the road and down into a 20-foot embankment. Two other drivers, who saw he was having a seizure went to his aid, called 911 and relayed to dispatchers what had transpired.

Police and firefighters arrived on the scene and began to assess the situation, body camera footage obtained by Law&Crime showed. Bruce, then 21, looked barely conscious and could not coherently answer first responders’ questions.

“He’s having a seizure, just let him be,” instructed Officer Joshua Goldstein.

But that mindset changed.

“The defendants were trained and knew that the last thing an officer should do when dealing with a seizure victim is restrain him, because seizure victims often react instinctively to physical contact,” the lawsuit said. “Ignoring this training, they repeatedly poked, prodded, shook, and yelled at Plaintiff, ordering him to leave his car.”

Things escalated from there.

Officers berated him with “Get out of the car” and “We wanna help you, but do not f—ing fight” and “You will get f—ing ripped out of this car.” Bruce seemed confused and had to be pulled out of the car, the video showed.

Bruce’s lawyers say the California Commission on Police Officer Standards and Training expects cops to follow a set of protocols on how to deal with someone in the throes of a seizure.

A woman denied throwing a “first date” brick through her ex’s window, but according to deputies in Lee County, Florida, surveillance footage caught her in the act.

“I live here,” Sabrina Deanna Coyne, 34, told deputies in body camera video dated the night of Jan. 24.

The ex said, however, that Coyne moved out of the house when they broke up about six months before, according to court documents. He is the sole owner of the residence, authorities said, citing county property appraiser’s records. They said they found no women’s clothing in the residence, and no indication Coyne was getting mail there.

The video, heavily edited by the sheriff’s office, shows the first deputy finding Coyne at the front door.

“I’m trying to get in touch with my ex-husband,” Coyne said.

Detectives in Jacksonville, Florida, confronted a man they believe was the getaway driver behind a 13-year-old boy’s murder.

“Marcel, I feel like I have shown you that I know what the f— is going on today,” an investigator told Marcel Johnson, 24, in footage dated Dec. 15, 2022. “That I know what this is about. That I know what happened. Why it happened. And I know it was a f— up. You weren’t trying to kill no 13-year-old.”

“I didn’t kill nobody at all,” Johnson said.

Authorities claim he drove the vehicle from which gunman Kentrevious Tyree Garard, 27, opened fire at another vehicle, striking three people. A young man and a juvenile survived, but young Prince Holland, 13, died. He had been going home from football tryouts.

In footage, Johnson maintained innocence. For example, he said was on his phone. Authorities said they could prove that he had actually turned off his phone and switched it back on 20 minutes after the murder.

“You ain’t scrolling,’ the detective said. “You ain’t on FaceTime. You ain’t getting DMs. You ain’t doing none of that stuff because your phone is off. Your phone is turned completely off.”

A sheriff’s deputy who crashed on body camera lied by omission by initially hiding the fact that he was looking at porn at the time, says the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

“Gosh darn it,” he said on footage after the crash. “Yeah, that f—ing really sucked.”

The internal affairs report from the Office of Professional Standards determined that he lied, was looking at porn on his phone while driving the patrol vehicle, and also failed to wear his seat belt.

Law&Crime is not naming him because he has not been charged with a crime. The deputy resigned during the investigation, Cpl. Chanel Martin of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office told Law&Crime in an email.

The crash

His bodycam from the afternoon of Nov. 6, 2024, shows him with his phone out, though it is unclear what it has on. But what is clear is that the yellow air bag bursts out.

He indicated to at least one passerby he was OK. He walked over to another vehicle that apparently got caught up in the crash. Law&Crime is omitting this encounter because it shows the woman, but in it, the deputy is checking on her.

“Hello, ma’am,” the deputy tells the other driver in the video. “Are you OK? I’m so sorry.”

“It’s OK,” she said.

“My brakes locked up,” he said.

She said she was OK.

Bodycam footage shows police taking in a teenage girl, who was later convicted of murder for speeding into a wall at up to 100 mph to kill her boyfriend and another young man.

“Could you please be careful taking this one off so it doesn’t break the bracelet,” Mackenzie Shirilla said as an officer began to switch handcuffs.

An Ohio judge convicted her in a bench trial in August 2023 of charges including murder for killing both her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, 20, and Davion Flanagan, 19.

Surveillance video showed that Shirilla, now 20, turned slowly from Pearl Road onto Alameda Drive, then she sped down the three-quarter mile street into a brick wall.

Two girls who pleaded guilty to helping their male friend kill another teenager separately told police they expected it was only going to be a fight.

“Andre told me that somebody had pissed him off, or somebody that was messing with somebody else’s girl or something — it had to do with some type of chick — and that he was upset and that he needed some backup for a fight,” Jaslyn Smith, then 16, told police with her mother at her side on Oct. 19, 2021. “He told me it was just a fight.”

“I didn’t think he meant, like, actual murder,” Christie Parisien, then 17, told police in an interrogation room on Oct. 23, 2021. “I thought he meant fighting him, beating him up or something. Classic little high school boy-boy, ‘I mess with your girl, you mess with my girl’ type fight thing.”

It was not a fight. Lead defendant Andre Clements, who faces trial scheduled for next year, murdered Dwight “DJ” Grant, 18, with a sword for hooking up with his ex-girlfriend, authorities say.

As seen on bodycam, Oklahoma mother Tina Ramirez invoked her right to remain silent when Piedmont police arrested her for allegedly abusing her children.

Her husband, Anthony Ibeziako, spoke a fair bit, however.

“This is not a normal family. This is some f—ing prison or some s—,” he told an investigator on March 19, citing the number of cameras at home.

“Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Thank you,” said the investigator, who spent the interrogation exasperated with Ibeziako.

Witness and police video shows a man acting out at a gas station before striking a cop car with his vehicle, driving off, and fleeing futilely into a restaurant.

The suspect, Jordon Vasquez, 34, is currently locked up in the Bernalillo County Jail in New Mexico for armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated fleeing a law enforcement officer, and resisting, evading, or obstructing an officer.

In the witness footage from Feb. 7 in Albuquerque, an exasperated employee of the gas station apparently spoke to authorities over the phone offscreen. She said the suspect struck two homeless people with his hands.

“He’s sitting out there nonchalant like nothing happened,” she said, describing the suspect sitting in a vehicle, his feet up, in the middle of the parking lot.

She said that the man had been trying to get cigarettes, although he did not have money.

“And he was like, ‘I don’t have money. I don’t have ID,” and he went to grab the cigarettes from the counter, and I was quick enough to swipe them back, and he was like, ‘girl, don’t make me go back there,”” she described.

An Alabama man will likely spend significant time in prison after he repeatedly forced a child to perform sexual acts on him in exchange for allowing her to play video games on her console system.

Dustin Lamar Peoples, 43, was found guilty by a jury in Blount County this week on one count each of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12 and sodomy in the first degree. The former is a Class B felony, while the latter is a Class A felony in the Yellowhammer State.
