Neighbors take the boy in and ask about his parents, but the boy begs not to be taken home. The neighbors get Georgia police involved. The boy tells them his parents, Krista and Tyler Shinley, beat him and lock him in his room with no food for long periods of time. Neighbors had previously seen the boy only from a distance and did not believe he was any older than six due to his size.

Police are looking for three suspects who they believe to be the shooters who opened fire on a busy Florida beachside promenade on Memorial Day. The attack injured eight people, including a one-year-old, and sent onlookers scrambling for shelter. Hollywood police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying the gunman who fled the area in the confusion that sent hundreds of people running for their lives and ducking for cover as bullets injured bystanders.

Two 18-year-olds were involved in a fight that led to the gunshots. According to police, both have been detained on firearms-related offenses. Five handguns have also been found, one of them reportedly stolen in the Miami area and another in Texas. Officers and witnesses say the altercation broke out around 6.30 p.m. Monday in front of a busy section of businesses on the Hollywood Oceanfront Broadwalk. A former Florida sheriff's deputy is facing charges of failing to stop the shooter who killed 14 students and three staff members at a Parkland high school five years ago.

Jury selection is now underway. Here's Sydney Sumner with Crime Online. Hundreds of potential jurors are expected to be weeded out over the next few days by the counsel for former Broward County Deputy Scott Peterson, the prosecution, and Circuit Judge Martin Fine in order to find 50 people who say they could serve impartially for the two months the trial is anticipated to last. The attorneys will attempt to agree on a panel of six with four alternates from among those 50 next week. Florida is one of six states that permit six-member juries in cases other than capital murder. The other states are Arizona, Connecticut, Indiana, Massachusetts, and Utah.

car location data. Additionally, he resembled the gunman described by locals in Sayreville, where June 4 had been a council member for approximately a year.
