Friday, September 20, 2024 1:21AM A brother and sister have been arrested in Tulare County for pandering and pimping. TULARE COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — A brother and sister have been arrested in Tulare County for pandering and pimping. 27-year-old Enrique Reyes and 30-year-old Erika Reyes were taken into custody by investigators with the Tulare County District Attorney’s Office in August following the service of several search warrants. The arrest stemmed from a tip about a massage business in Tipton that was allegedly operating a prostitution operation. A preliminary hearing in this case is set for later this month.

Friday, September 20, 2024 1:11AM 15 years after an inmate was murdered at the Pleasant Valley State Prison, a jury is now learning where investigators say the suspect hid his weapon. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — 15 years after an inmate was murdered at the Pleasant Valley State Prison, a Fresno County jury is now learning where investigators say the suspect stashed his weapon. Prosecutors have charged Marcus Faulk with one count of murder. Media reports from 2009 say Faulk killed his cellmate, Jason Shawn Cannon, who was 35 years old and serving a 32-month sentence for resisting arrest. On Thursday, jurors heard evidence about a prison-made weapon investigators found in Faulk’s cell. It was stuffed in a mattress. “As I recall, it was embedded in the stuffing,” Fresno County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Hector Palma said. “In the center somehow.” Prosecutors say Faulk had a pact with another prison inmate to kill their cellmates. But Faulk denies the murder charge and has pleaded not guilty. Faulk’s public defender called on the prison’s current chief of mental health, who has reviewed reports about Faulk’s mental health diagnosis.

The festival celebrates LGBTQ+ films in the Tower District. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — For the 35th year, Fresno Reel Pride returns to the Silver Screen. The festival celebrates LGBTQ+ films in the Tower District. “If you come out to Reel Pride, you basically can see a lot of the things that we are known for, and that is wonderful feature films that you cannot see in normal theaters,” says Kathleen Arambula-Reyna. Arambula-Reyna is the festival’s board president. This year’s event will feature 20 films, including shorts, features, and local artists and filmmakers. “We bring films that represent parts of our LGBTQ+ community that are not as forward-facing,” Arambula-Reyna said. Organizers say Reel Pride is one of the largest and longest-running LGBTQ+ film festivals in the country. Its roots run deep and go back to Fresno State in the 90s. Ken Fries co-founded the festival with Dr. Peter Robertson when the two were

SAN JOSE – San Jose Sharks prospect Will Smith had lunch this week with veteran forwards Logan Couture and Barclay Goodrow, two central players in the team’s last playoff run in 2019. Smith, naturally, wanted to know what it was like inside SAP Center more than five-plus years ago on the night Goodrow scored a series-clinching overtime goal in Game 7 against the Vegas Golden Knights, capping arguably the wildest game in team history. “I actually watch it back on YouTube a lot, and seeing the Shark Tank like that is pretty crazy,” Smith said. “They were telling me how it was so loud, it was just ringing the entire time. “It’s our goal to get it back to that.” With plenty of renewed enthusiasm following a rather transformative summer, the on-ice part of that long process for the Sharks began Thursday with the first day of the team’s training camp. New head coach Ryan Warsofsky directed several new players, including top prospects Smith and Macklin Celebrini, through hour-long practices featuring several up-tempo drills. The overhauled Sharks hope to be a vastly different team than

By IAN NICHOLAS QUILLEN | Associated Press BALTIMORE (AP) — Anthony Santander hit a game-ending two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, his 42nd longball of the season, and the Baltimore Orioles eliminated the San Francisco Giants from the playoff contention, beating them 5-3 on Thursday. Santander’s shot off Ryan Walker (9-4) came after Casey Schmitt tied the game at 3-all with a single off Seranthony Domínguez in the top of the ninth. “Walk’s been great … one pitch ends up costing us the game,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said. “You always feel good when he’s in the game. (But) a good hitter having a great season got a pitch he could handle.” The Giants missed a big chance to do more damage in the top of the ninth inning after the first two runners reached base. Donovan Walton popped a bunt to the catcher for the first out, then pinch hitter Mark Canha grounded into a double play to end the Giants’ threat. San Francisco’s offense was stalled by some poor production with men in scoring position as Giants hitters went just

By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS, Associated Press JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into a Mississippi sheriff’s department whose officers tortured two Black men in a racist attack that included beatings, repeated use of stun guns and assaults with a sex toy before one of the victims was shot in the mouth, officials said Thursday. The Justice Department will investigate whether the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department has engaged in a pattern or practice of excessive force and unlawful stops, searches and arrests, and whether it has used racially discriminatory policing practices, according to Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke. Five Rankin sheriff’s deputies pleaded guilty in 2023 to breaking into a home without a warrant and engaging in an hourslong attack on Michael Corey Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker. A sixth officer, from the Richland Police Department, was also convicted in the attack Some of the officers were part of a group so willing to use excessive force they called themselves the Goon Squad. All six were sentenced in March, receiving terms of 10 to 40 years. The charges followed an Associated Press investigation in

By JULIA FRANKEL and MAJDI MOHAMMED, Associated Press QABATIYA, West Bank (AP) — Israeli soldiers pushed three apparently lifeless bodies from rooftops during a raid in the northern part of the occupied West Bank on Thursday, according to an Associated Press journalist at the scene and video obtained by AP. An AP journalist in the town of Qabatiya witnessed three soldiers push the bodies off the roofs of adjacent multi-story buildings, sending them falling out of view. It was the latest in a series of suspected violations by Israeli forces since the start of the Israel-Hamas war that rights groups say show a pattern of excessive force toward Palestinians. “This is a serious incident that does not coincide with IDF values ​​and the expectations from IDF soldiers,” the military said in a statement, using the acronym it goes by. “The incident is under review.” Israel said its troops had killed four combatants during operations in Qabatiya on Thursday. The Palestinian Health Ministry in Ramallah did not immediately confirm multiple deaths, but said one person had been killed in the town and that Israeli gunfire sent

SANTA CLARA — Tight end George Kittle and cornerback Charvarius Ward were surprise no-shows at Thursday’s practice, sidelined by leg injuries that suddenly put their availability in question for the 49ers’ game Sunday at the Los Angeles Rams. Another not-so-subtle name joined the 49ers’ ever-growing injury list: defensive end Nick Bosa, with a rib issue that limited him. While Kittle was kept out with a hamstring issue, Ward has a combination of hamstring and knee injuries. Both players practiced in full Wednesday then reported “soreness” Thursday morning and likely will be listed as questionable for the game, coach Kyle Shanahan said on KNBR 680-AM. The 49ers (1-1) already will play without two offensive playmakers in Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey. Samuel is expected to miss two weeks with a calf strain from Sunday’s loss at Minnesota, while McCaffrey has yet to play this season and is not eligible to come off Injured Reserve for another three games. “Obviously it (stinks) not having your guys like Deebo and Christian and stuff. So it’s like, ‘Alright, how can we figure out getting the ball to other guys,’

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson vowed on Thursday to remain in the race despite a CNN report that he posted strongly worded racial and sexual comments on an online message board, saying he won’t be forced out by “salacious tabloid lies.” Robinson, the sitting lieutenant governor who decisively won his GOP gubernatorial primary in March, has been trailing in several recent polls to Democratic nominee Josh Stein, the current attorney general. “We are staying in this race. We are in it to win it,” Robinson said in a video posted Thursday on the social media platform X. “And we know that with your help, we will.” Robinson referenced in the video a story that he said CNN was running, but he didn’t give details. “Let me reassure you the things that you will see in that story – those are not the words of Mark Robinson,” he said. “You know my words. You know my character.” The CNN report describes a series of racial and sexual comments Robinson posted on the message board of a pornography website more than a
