Heading out for a daddy-daughter breakfast date, Sony Josaphat drives to the Florida home he used to share with his ex-wife. When he gets there, Josaphat sees her new husband installing a security cam and becomes enraged. He loads a gun and starts shooting at his ex-wife and her husband, killing them both in front of his daughter, who calls 911.

Nancy, we're now learning that the victim's wedding was just a week prior to the shooting. Joseph Fatt told investigators he was there to take his daughter on a breakfast date, but she was surprised to see him that morning. She was unloading groceries when Josaphat pulled up to the home and asked if her mother and stepfather were home. She did not answer him, but the couple came out to greet Josaphat. That's when he began shooting. Josaphat will be represented by a public defender and he could be facing the death penalty if convicted on either of the first-degree murder charges. Sonny Josephette now charged two counts of murder. A 700-pound longhorn bull in transit to a Newark slaughterhouse escapes, running down the railroad and ending up inside the Newark Penn Rail Station. Terrified commuters scatter, giving the bull and

his horns a wide berth. Police try to corral the bull, but after they're charged several times, they give up. Animal control shoots the steer with a tranquilizer, and he's transported to a cow sanctuary, where he is now named Ricardo. More crime and justice news after this. Now with the latest crime and justice breaking news, Crime Online's John Limley.

With more, here's Sydney Sumner with

Crime Online. The office of the Bucks County District Attorney says that 32-year-old Justin Monn is being charged with 12 additional counts, including theft and terrorism, in connection with the death of his father, Michael Monn, one month ago. Prosecutors claim that Justin Monn used a kitchen knife and machete to decapitate Michael Monn at their Levittown home after shooting his father to death with a firearm he had purchased the day before. Then, Justin Monn made a video in which he calls for violence against the government while holding up his father's head and identifying him as a 20-year federal employee. On a desk in the room

where the video was recorded, prosecutors say investigators discovered bloodstains. They also found a computer with many tabs open, one of which was for YouTube. Along with promoting a range of conspiracy theories, Justin Monn rants in the video about the Biden administration, immigration and border security, fiscal policy, urban crime, and the conflict in Ukraine. Before it was removed, the video was up on YouTube for several hours. Prosecutors allege that Justin Monn intended to mobilize the guard against the federal government, so he drove his father's 2009 Toyota Corolla to a National Guard training facility at Fort

Indiantown Gap. According to prosecutors, Mon was taken into custody and discovered to be in possession of a 9mm handgun and a USB stick that included images of federal buildings and what appeared to be instructions for creating an explosive device. The FBI stated by way of email that it is assisting with the district attorney's probe. Mann, who's being held without bail, had already been charged with first-degree murder, abusing a corpse, and possessing instruments of crime. A St. Louis man has been handed a 60-year prison sentence for a string of carjackings, one of which resulted in the death of a high school football coach. Once again, Crime Online's Sydney Sumner.

31-year-old Kurt Wallace entered a guilty plea in September to four counts of carjacking, one count of firing a handgun and furtherance of carjacking resulting in death, and other offenses. The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Judge Ronnie L. White. According to federal authorities, Wallace is accused of shooting three victims during three carjackings in 2017. The attacks were through dating apps. On September 16th of that year, one victim was shot in the shoulder. On October 15th, another was shot in the leg. Both victims survived the attacks. On October 16th of 2017, Jazz Granderson was shot and killed while his Jeep Grand Cherokee was being stolen. Granderson worked as an assistant football coach at a suburban St. Louis high school. Wallace was named in a federal indictment

in November 2017. Authorities say that in July of 2019, Wallace broke out of jail while awaiting trial. During a police pursuit, he crashed the vehicle he had stolen and was apprehended. Six additional defendants implicated in the carjackings have already been found guilty and are serving terms varying from five years to life. Thanks, John.
