SUMMARY: The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is warning about a suspected serial sexual predator who has allegedly attacked two women, with fears of more unreported victims. Surveillance footage from two years ago shows the suspect, wearing a mask and distinctive Nike shoes with pink shoelaces, at the Kelsey Seybold Clinic. He reportedly assaulted a woman at knife point in October 2022 and attacked another in March 2023 at an apartment complex. Authorities are urging anyone with information or who recognizes the suspect to contact them, as they believe there are additional victims.

Both of the victims were assaulted at knifepoint by a man who may be a serial offender, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

SUMMARY: Surveillance video from the recent helicopter crash into a radio tower shows the aircraft approaching the tower before impact, resulting in the deaths of four people, including a child. The helicopter had completed the same trip twice earlier that day. NTSB and FAA investigators are examining the wreckage and will use the video as crucial evidence. Aviation attorney Justin Green suggested that the pilot likely didn’t see the tower, indicating possible pilot error or poor flight planning. The investigation continues, with a preliminary report from the NTSB expected within 30 days.

New surveillance video has surfaced showing the moments leading up to the deadly helicopter crash in Houston’s Second Ward, where four people, including a child, lost their lives.
