SUMMARY: Lake Worth Police Chief has spoken about the recent indictment of Officer Landon Rollins, who was terminated following an incident during a drug sting in North Fort Worth. On May 14, Rollins engaged with suspect Tyler McKenny, leading to allegations of excessive force, resulting in lacerations to McKenny’s head. The chief noted inconsistencies in Rollins’ report and said other officers raised concerns about the use of force. Consequently, an internal review prompted Rollins’ termination for his actions and attempt to conceal details. The chief emphasized the department’s commitment to accountability and professional policing as the case is now in court.

A former Lake Worth police officer has been indicted by a grand jury in an excessive force case.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump delivered his first public address since the election, announcing key cabinet picks, including North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as Secretary of the Interior. Trump’s controversial selection of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services has drawn significant attention, with Kennedy’s focus on chronic disease and food safety appealing to Trump’s base. However, his stances against vaccines and fluoride have raised alarms among public health experts. Additionally, questions linger regarding the confirmation of former Congressman Matt Gaetz for attorney general, following his resignation amid impending ethics investigations.

SUMMARY: A 19-year-old woman, Amaya Madrano, faces capital murder charges after allegedly shooting 66-year-old Ahmad Alola during a Facebook Marketplace transaction in Dallas. Alola, a patriarch of his family, was killed near an elementary school while attempting to sell an iPhone 15. Surveillance footage captured the interaction between the two, showing Madrano shooting Alola before fleeing the scene. Police linked Madrano to the crime through her distinct tattoos and her social media account, which was selling a similar phone shortly after the incident. Madrano, already on probation for a previous assault, has a bond set at $1 million.

Police say Ahmad Alkhalaf, a 66-year-old husband and father from Sasche, was murdered in the middle of the afternoon at an Oak Cliff gas station just off I-35 and South Marsalis Avenue. A 19-year-old woman is charged with his murder.
