Superior, WI - The Douglas County District Attorney will not file charges against a Superior police officer who shot and killed a man in April.

On April 7, Superior Police Officer Ibrahim Carson shot David Donald Ducado Menton, 42, during a physical altercation outside an apartment complex in Superior. Investigators with the state’s Division of Criminal Investigation, part of the Wisconsin Department of Justice, led the probe into shooting.

In a final report on the incident, Douglas County District Attorney Mark Fruehauf said the state would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Carson hadn’t acted in lawful self-defense.

“The evidence in this case supports the conclusion that Officer Carson was lawfully entitled to use deadly force to defend himself at the moment he used such force,” Fruehauf wrote. “The evidence does not support the filing of criminal charges against Officer Carson.”

At the time of the incident, Carson had been searching for another wanted individual, Robert Sloan, who was suspected of theft. The Superior officer located Sloan, Menton and Autumn Khalar around 9:45 p.m.

When Carson arrived, Menton and Khalar began walking from a vehicle toward the apartment complex. The Superior officer told the two to stop, but Menton continued toward the building. Carson pursued Menton, and the two ended up struggling on the ground. Carson repeatedly told the man to “stop resisting” before the officer shot Menton in the back of the head.

The report states Menton said what sounded like “I’m not gonna shoot” about six to seven seconds before Carson fired. The entire altercation lasted roughly 30 seconds.

The report states that a 9 millimeter handgun was located next to Menton’s body at the scene. During the struggle, Carson said he could see the pistol on the left side of the man’s body, and he believed that Menton had control of the gun and was going to kill him. A witness reportedly told investigators that Menton, a convicted felon, was known to carry firearms. Toxicology results showed Menton also had methamphetamine in his system.

The district attorney reviewed interviews with the officer, numerous witnesses, photographic evidence and audio and video footage that include Carson’s body camera footage. Fruehauf also consulted with use-of-force expert Gerald Katchka. The former DCI investigator found the use of deadly force was justified.

Montgomery County, TX - Body-worn camera video captured the dramatic moment Montgomery County deputies rescued a theft suspect from a burning vehicle after a chase ended in a fiery crash near U.S. 69 and FM 1485, according to the sheriff's office.

The incident began when deputies responded to a reported theft in progress at the Walmart in Porter.

According to the sheriff's office, deputies arrived and saw a suspect running from the store with Walmart loss-prevention personnel following him.

The suspect got into a vehicle and continued trying to evade deputies. The sheriff's office said he failed to stop for a marked patrol unit that had its emergency lights and siren activated in the parking lot before driving recklessly from the area.

The driver, identified by the sheriff's office as 53-year-old Michael BeBawi, entered the northbound lanes of U.S. 69 at a high rate of speed and later exited at FM 1485.

As BeBawi approached the FM 1485 intersection, the sheriff's office said he lost control of his vehicle while trying to turn and head east.

His vehicle crossed a curbed median, hit two signs and collided with another vehicle before crossing another curb and striking a Chase Bank sign.

The vehicle then caught fire.

Deputies immediately tried to reach BeBawi, who was still inside the burning vehicle, according to the sheriff's office.

Crash damage initially prevented deputies from opening the driver's side door. One deputy then entered the burning vehicle through the passenger side and unlocked the driver's side door, allowing deputies to pull BeBawi out.

As the fire intensified and the vehicle began to explode, deputies moved BeBawi as far away as possible. They also moved patrol vehicles and cleared access for responding fire and EMS personnel.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating the crash.

The sheriff's office said BeBawi has prior arrests related to theft, theft-related offenses and resisting arrest.

BeBawi is currently in the Montgomery County Jail and is charged with evading in a vehicle and theft.

Martin County, FL - A DUI suspect's getaway came to a crashing halt early Saturday after Martin County deputies say he fled a hit-and-run — twice.

27-year-old Ariel Simon Bamaca Camey is accused of crashing into a vehicle along SE Dixie Highway before taking off and leaving a startled woman behind in a totalled vehicle.

The driver called for help, prompting deputies with the Martin County Sheriff's Office to search for a white pickup truck with heavy damage to its front end.

Deputies say they soon spotted a vehicle matching the description. But when Bamaca Camey realized deputies were onto him, investigators say he took off again.

This time, he didn't get far.

Deputies pursued the battered pickup for less than a mile before stopping it and taking Bamaca Camey into custody.

According to deputies, Bamaca Camey appeared to be intoxicated.

Bamaca Camey, who is from Guatemala, was charged with leaving the scene of a crash involving damage, fleeing and eluding, driving without a valid license after never having been issued a Florida driver's license, and DUI.

He was booked into the Martin County Jail, where he remains on an ICE detainer.

Trumann, AR - New dashcam footage obtained by KATV shows the moment an Arkansas State Police Trooper performed a PIT maneuver caused a fleeing vehicle to hit another car, severely injured the elderly couple inside.

The crash happened on Aug. 5 when an ASP Trooper attempted to stop a Hyundai Sonata traveling northbound on Interstate 555 at the 24-mile marker for a traffic violation.

Police say the Sonata's driver, 32-year-old Laloyd L. Hamilton, did not stop and accelerated to approximately 130 mph as they pursued him.

When the chase reached the 28-mile marker, the Trooper performed a PIT maneuver that caused the fleeing vehicle to violently crash into another car carrying a 68-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man.

The pair, who were not identified by police, were transported to Regional One Medical Center in Memphis with serious injuries. KATV has reached out to determine their current status.

Police say that Hamilton was transported to NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital in Jonesboro for evaluation. A search of the suspect’s vehicle resulted in the recovery of narcotics, including illegal marijuana, pills, and an unknown liquid substance.

Hamilton is currently being held in the Poinsett County Detention Center on the following charges: Felony Fleeing, second-degree Battery, Criminal Mischief, Possession with Purpose to Deliver a Controlled Substance, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Hazardous Driving, and Driving While Intoxicated.

Jefferson County, CO - A Colorado sheriff's office released body cam video of its deputies saving a dog that had been locked inside a hot van.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said that two of its deputies were called to a recreation center after witnesses saw the dog locked in the vehicle. Video showed the dog had been stuck in the van, which had been parked in direct sunlight, for almost four hours while temperatures were in the 80s.

The windows were shut and there was no visible airflow, according to the sheriff's office. The dog was also panting heavily, barking and showing signs of heat distress. Recreation center staff could not locate the owner, and the van was missing license plates, making it difficult to identify the owner.

One of the deputies broke a window and was able to get the dog out through another door. The dog was taken to a local animal hospital and was found to have a slightly elevated body temperature.

The sheriff's office says the dog was returned to its owner, who told them the van's air conditioning had been left on, but it stopped working. The owner was issued a summons for animal cruelty.

Irvine, CA - A 20-year-old man fatally shot by Irvine police during a mental health crisis has been identified as Daniel Alfons Meltvedt of Irvine, authorities announced.

Meltvedt called the Irvine Police Department on the afternoon of July 21 and said he was armed with a knife, wanted to harm himself and might harm others, according to an updated account from the department.

Police said Meltvedt then left his home carrying a knife and walked onto Sungate near Silkwood.

Members of the department’s Crisis Negotiation Team responded and spoke with Meltvedt for more than an hour, repeatedly urging him to put down the knife and surrender so he could receive care.

Police said Meltvedt eventually charged toward an officer with the knife raised, prompting the officer to open fire.

Officers provided medical aid before Meltvedt was taken to a hospital, where he died.

The department said officers had previously responded to several mental health-related incidents involving Meltvedt and connected him with mental health resources after each encounter.

Since 2025, Meltvedt had also received follow-up services from Irvine’s Community Alternative Response and Engagement Team, known as I-CARE, which is made up of unarmed crisis intervention specialists, police said.

I-CARE personnel and Orange County Fire Authority crews were standing by during negotiations to provide medical and mental health assistance.

Queens, NY - A Queens man is facing charges in the murders of his sister and mother after a barricade situation over the weekend.

Kegan Thomas, 33, is facing charges of attempted murder, murder, arson, aggravated cruelty to animals, and criminal possession of a weapon.

The situation unfolded just before noon Saturday at a home on Ocean Crest Boulevard near Beach 25 Street in Far Rockaway. Police say the wife of the suspect, called 911 to tell officers her husband was armed and mentally ill.

"The caller states that her husband is armed and had a history of mental illness and he 'killed them, killed them,'" said NYPD Assistant Chief Christopher Mcintosh.

When police arrived, the woman told officers that her husband, Thomas, was inside the home with a shotgun and that she heard a shot and saw a body on the bed.

Police then waited on ESU while trying to call Thomas, but they were unable to reach him. When ESU arrived at the scene, there was a large explosion at the home.

Thomas then emerged from the home armed with a shotgun and wearing a tactical vest, police said. Officers told him to drop the gun, but he did not comply, so they shot him and he was taken to the hospital.

"They basically did what they did and protected whoever was in this neighborhood," said Shameeka.

He remains in critical condition but stable condition in the hospital. He is expected to survive and will be arraigned when physically able.

Police discovered the bodies of his sister and mother, 28-year-old Selena Ponce and 56-year-old Clemer Ponce, inside the burning home. They had been shot. Thomas' wife was not injured.

A dog and cat died from smoke inhalation inside the home.

Police say Thomas was a military veteran and had no criminal history and no mental health history documented with the department.

St. Lawrence County, NY - Body camera video shows the dramatic rescue of an 80-year-old man from his burning home in St. Lawrence County.

New York State Police said Trooper James Bertram was working in the area when he heard dispatchers call firefighters to Haggert Road in the town of Oswegatchie shortly after 11 a.m.

He rushed to the scene, where he saw heavy fire and smoke coming from the home and learned there was someone still inside.

Bertram entered the burning house, located the man, and helped him get out.

In the video, Bertram runs to the home where flames can be seen shooting from a window.

He runs around the house until he finds a woman on a deck, standing in front of a sliding door to the house, with thick black smoke pouring from it.

Bertram asks the woman, “How far in is he?” She replies that she doesn’t know.

The sound of a man’s voice can be heard coming from inside. Bertram appears to get on his hands and knees to crawl toward the man, instructing him to follow the sound of his voice.

The man is then helped to his feet and brought outside.

A second state trooper, Craig Thornhill, arrived at the scene and assisted Bertram and the man after they escaped the home.

Thornhill is seen in the video carrying the man to the road.

The man, whose name was not released, was taken to Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center and later transferred to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse for further treatment.

His injuries were reported to be non-life-threatening. Police declined to comment on the nature of his injuries.

“The New York State Police recognize Trooper Bertram and Trooper Thornhill for their quick response and courageous actions during the incident,” state police said in a news release. “Their actions reflect the dedication and commitment to public safety demonstrated by New York State Troopers every day.”

The Ogdensburg, Morristown, Hammond, Brier Hill, and Heuvelton fire departments and the county sheriff’s office also responded to the scene. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

San Antonio, TX - The San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) released dashcam and body camera footage showing when multiple officers opened fire on a 52-year-old man who authorities say was armed one rainy July morning.

Police say Andrew Davila died as a result of the gunfire, which happened outside a Highland Park home in the 800 block of Hammond Avenue, in east San Antonio.

The video, narrated by SAPD Sgt. Ariel Hernandez, shows police trying to "conduct a traffic stop" on Davila, who appears in the dash camera footage riding a bicycle on the sidewalk at 2:18 a.m. on July 16. Police didn't say why they tried to stop Davila, who is seen briefly slowing down before riding through a parking lot, apparently trying to escape.

“The suspect then rode away from officers, and a description was broadcasted over the radio," Hernandez said.

The dash cam video shows an officer successfully cutting Davila off as he falls off his bicycle and onto the front lawn of a home. At that point, other police had joined the apprehension effort, and multiple officers rush up to try and detain Davila.

But when they approached, Hernandez said, Davila "drew a handgun." In the footage, Davila is seen gesturing what appears to be a handgun at officers as he stays on the ground.

Police are also heard on body camera footage ordering him several times to drop the gun.

"But the suspect did not and subsequently pointed the gun at the officers," Hernandez said. "Four officers discharged their firearms toward the suspect."

Davila was hit an unknown number of times, with the barrage also appearing to ignite an item that police say was in his back pocket. A small fire is seen on the body camera video, as well as smoke immediately starting to rise, before police extinguished it.

San Antonio police say this gun was recovered after officers shot and killed a man who authorities say was armed on July 16, 2026. Officials say Davila died at the scene. Four officers shot at him.

Columbus, OH - The Columbus Division of Police released body camera video showing the moments leading up to an exchange of gunfire between a suspect and several officers on the city's east side last week.

According to police, officers were called around 6:25 p.m. Friday to the South Hamilton Road exit on Interstate 70 on a report of a crash.

A 911 caller told dispatchers that a man, later identified as 32-year-old Brandon Burtyk, exited a vehicle, brandished two firearms and began firing shots. The caller said he then fled on foot with the guns, according to police.

Officers later located outside at a home in the 4500 block of Errington Road, near East Livingston Avenue. Bodycam video shows Burtyk holding the guns to his head.

"Don't do it," the officer wearing the body camera can be heard saying.

The video shows officers trying to reason with Burtyk. "Put the guns down, let's talk about this," officers said. Bodycam video shows Burtyk yelling "Kill me!" as well as other expletives.

Officers later asked Burtyk to keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, when bodycam video shows Burtyk removing the firearms from his head and pointing them in the direction of the officers.

The officer wearing the body camera then discharged their weapon. Officers continued to tell Burtyk to drop his weapon.

Officers are then heard saying "He tossed the gun," while trying to determine how many weapons Burtyk had. Officers then approached Burtyk and took him into custody, asking if he was hit anywhere. According to Franklin County Municipal Court records, one of the guns was reported stolen from another jurisdiction.

Officers determined Burtyk was not hit by gunfire but was transported to a nearby hospital to be evaluated for injuries sustained during the earlier crash. An officer was also transported to a nearby hospital to be treated for injuries sustained during the incident.

Court documents said an officer was struck in the leg during the exchange of gunfire.

Burtyk was charged with one count of felonious assault. Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Jim O'Grady issued Burtyk a $3 million bond in court Monday.

Oakland, CA - The Oakland Police Department released videos of officer body camera footage of the fatal shooting last month of a man wielding two homemade spear-like devices at officers.

The incident happened at 2:12 p.m. on July 13 in a strip mall parking lot at 40th and International Boulevard in the Fruitvale neighborhood of East Oakland.

Minutes earlier, officers had responded to a call from California Highway Patrol officers who had encountered a man at a homeless encampment along State Route 185 next to 42nd Avenue and south of San Leandro Street. CHP bodycam video showed the man, identified as 43-year-old Jose Castillo, refusing an officer's command for him to drop his weapons, which were two large knives each attached to long poles.

"You're detained right now," the officer says. "You need to drop those right now."

The man instead held up the makeshift spears and verbally threatened the CHP officers, prompting the other officer to point his service weapon at Castillo, who then walked away toward SR 185. Oakland police officers then found him in the area of 12th Street and 41st Avenue, and he continued to refuse multiple commands to drop the weapons while threatening officers and quickly walking away from them.

At one point, the video shows a bystander and two young children crouching behind a tree on the sidewalk on 41st Avenue as Castillo walked toward them just before an officer holding a stun gun blocked his path. Other officers also converged at the location along 41st Avenue to follow him as he kept refusing commands to drop the weapons.

"I don't have to do nothing," Castillo is heard saying. "Leave me alone! I'm leaving!"

As he approached International Boulevard, Castillo walked into a strip mall parking lot and then turned around to face the officers, at least two of whom shot him with their stun guns.

The video shows Castillo temporarily becoming disabled, but he then takes off the backpack and begins swinging the spears at the officers, who opened fire on him multiple times from about 15 to 20 feet away.

Castillo was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said investigators were seeking the public's help in finding his next of kin.
