Woman accused of killing boyfriend’s toddler Googled ‘how to do CPR,’
CLAIRTON, Pa. – Police are looking for a 21-year-old woman they believe killed her boyfriend’s toddler daughter, then searched online for a way to revive the child instead of calling 911, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
On Monday, Allegheny County authorities said they are searching for 21-year-old Deasha Ringgold in the April 27 death of 23-month-old Aubree Sherrell.
According to her iPhone’s data, Ringgold used Google to search “how to do cpr on a baby,” “my friend go choked out what to do” and “she’s not breathing what do i do,” according to a criminal complaint obtained by WTAE.
She initially told investigators that she put Aubree down for a nap around 3 p.m. and woke up later to find the child unresponsive with blue lips. Police believe Ringgold’s search history tells a different story.
“The first Google search occurred at 2:57 p.m. and Deasha and (the child’s father) arrived at Jefferson Hospital approximately 4:04 p.m.,” police said in the complaint. The 23-month-old was was rushed to Children’s Hospital of UPMC of Pittsburgh where she was ultimately pronounced dead at 10:27 p.m.
On Friday, an autopsy revealed that Sherrell had been strangled, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports, and authorities classified her death as a homicide.
Ringgold faces charges of homicide and endangering the welfare of a child, according to WPXI.
Police describe Ringgold as 5 feet, 1 inch tall with multiple tattoos. Anyone with information is asked to call the anonymous hotline 1-833-ALL-TIPS.
Arizona police searching for 19-year-old girl who vanished after leaving work
The roommate of an Arizona teenager missing since early August said she received an out-of-character text message from the teen shortly before she vanished.
Kiera Bregman, 19, disappeared the morning of Aug. 4 after leaving work early.
She was last seen in her Phoenix apartment, where she left both her wallet and identification behind — something her family and friends say is highly unlike her.
Also out of character is the text message roommate Destiny Hall-Chand says she received from Bregman that indicated she was heading out to meet up with a man she’d met days earlier.
“She was saying something that she was going out with some guy that she met at the store a couple days ago, which is something that’s not like her,” Hall-Chand told CBS affiliate KPHO-TV. “I mean, that’s not something that she would do.”
Bregman, originally from San Diego, moved to the Arizona city with her boyfriend in March.
But mom Kiersten Bragg said on “Good Morning America” Monday that since leaving home, her daughter — who she last spoke to via text July 30 — had lost some of her spark.
“(She wasn’t) her normal, happy self,” Bragg said of their last conversation. “Maybe circumstances in her life when she came out here caused her to maybe have some anxiety or stuff about what she was going through…. That’s when she started changing, when she started dating this guy and coming out here, so I do believe that a lot – that has to do with that relationship.”
Bragg, who traveled to Phoenix to help search for her daughter, also noted that she heard it was Bregman’s boyfriend who picked her up from work the day she vanished.
“For her to leave her purse with her wallet and ID there at the apartment, that’s not normal, that’s why I feel like there’s something not right here,” she said.
A GoFundMe account arranged by a cousin has so far raised approximately $9,000 of its $50,000 goal.
Bregman stands at 5’ 3” and weighs 145 lbs.

Shooter charged with manslaughter in Clearwater stand your ground case
Prosecutors charged Michael Drejka, the man accused of killing Markeis McGlockton in a shooting that has reignited a debate over Florida’s stand your ground law, with manslaughter Monday.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, Drejka was taken into custody Monday morning. He was being booked about 12:20 p.m. into the Pinellas County Jail, where he will be held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
“It’s about time,” said McGlockton’s father, Michael McGlockton, adding that he was ecstatic. “This is exactly what I wanted. This is exactly what me and my family wanted was to get this guy behind bars.”
Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bernie McCabe said Monday that his office “reviewed everything, and we filed the charge we think we can prove.”
“I’m comfortable that we moved expeditiously to review the case,” he said.
Drejka, who turned 48 since the shooting, had avoided arrest since he shot 28-year-old McGlockton on July 19 because of the controversial self-defense law that eliminated one’s duty to retreat before resorting to force.
Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri announced July 20 that his agency was precluded from arresting Drejka because evidence showed it was “within the bookends of stand your ground and within the bookends of force being justified,” which provides immunity from arrest, the sheriff said. He forwarded the case Aug. 1 to the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney’s Office to make a final charging determination.

Vimeo removes Infowars content
Vimeo has pulled Infowars content from its site for violating the platform’s standards.
A spokesperson for the video hosting service told Business Insider on Sunday that the Infowars videos “violated our Terms of Service prohibitions on discriminatory and hateful content.”
The videos had been uploaded to the site on Thursday and Friday. The Vimeo spokesperson also told Business Insider that the company had told the account owner of the videos’ removal, and also issued a refund because “we do not want to profit from content of this nature in any way.”
The site reported that Infowars had less than a dozen videos on the platform as of Wednesday, but that more than 50 videos were posted to the site on the following days.
Vimeo reportedly determined that the content violated the company’s trust and safety standards within 48 hours of the videos being posted.
Business Insider reported that Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud will announce the removal of the Infowars content during a town hall meeting on Monday.
Vimeo is the latest platform to pull content posted by Infowars or its founder Alex Jones. Facebook, YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts have all recently banned or removed content from the site or its controversial conspiracy theorist founder.
Twitter has said that Infowars and Jones will be permitted to stay on the site because they haven’t violated its policies.
A Twitter spokesperson said Friday the decision to allow them to remain on the site will stay in place, despite a CNN report revealing that Jones had repeatedly violated its policies.
Jones has faced criticism for spreading conspiracy theories, and was suedby the parents of two children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting for allegedly claiming the shooting was a hoax. Jones has denied making the statements.

Video of Baltimore officer beating a man leads to suspension and outrage
The video starts with a man screaming in a police officer’s face.
“For what?!” the man yells on a Baltimore sidewalk.
The officer responds by shoving the man backward against a brick wall.
“Don’t touch me!” the man yells, slapping the cop’s hand away.
Then the video gets really ugly.
The officer starts throwing punches and continues pummeling the man for the next 12 seconds, the bystander’s video shows.
They both eventually fall to the ground, and the officer pins the man down with his arm across his neck. The man’s blood starts pooling on the sidewalk.
What happened Saturday morning marks the latest controversial use of force against a black person by police.
The Baltimore officer who attacked the man is also black. So is another officer who witnessed the attack, but did little to intervene.
Interim Police Commissioner Gary Tuggle said he was “deeply disturbed” by the incident, and the officer seen throwing punches has been suspended.
The other officer has been placed on administrative duties pending the outcome of an investigation, Baltimore police said. The state attorney’s office was also notified.
Police have not identified either officer.
What led up to the attack
The incident began around 11:45 a.m. while officers were working on “a crime suppression detail related to crime in the area,” Baltimore police spokesman T. J. Smith said.
“Two officers encountered a man, whom one of the officers is familiar with,” police said.
“After the first encounter, officers released him and … approached him again to provide him a citizen’s contact sheet,” police said.
Smith said officers are required to fill out a contact sheet any time they talk to a citizen in relation to any type of investigation, no matter how brief the encounter.
“When he was asked for his identification, the situation escalated when he refused,” police said.
Police did not identify the man, but CNN affiliate WJZ identified him as Dashawn McGrier.
He was taken into custody and was also given medical treatment for his injuries, police said. He was not charged with any crimes and was released from custody, police said.
The man’s attorney, Warren Brown, is planning to file a lawsuit, CNN affiliate WBAL reported. Brown has not responded to CNN’s request for comment.
‘Zero tolerance’ for this behavior
Tuggle said he was appalled by the incident and has “zero tolerance for behavior like I witnessed on the video.”
“Officers have a responsibility and duty to control their emotions in the most stressful of situations,” the interim police commissioner said.
Baltimore is still dealing with the aftermath of the 2015 death of Freddie Gray, who died in custody a week after a police encounter.
Days of peaceful protests devolved into riots, with assaults on police, looting, arson and the devastation of businesses.
Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh said in a tweet that the city is working hard to earn and maintain the trust of the public. She said she has demanded answers and accountability for what happened Saturday.
“We are working day and night to bring about a new era of community-based, Constitutional policing and will not be deterred by this or any other instance that threatens our efforts to reestablish trust of all citizens in the Baltimore Police Department,” she said.

Manchester mass shooting being investigated as ‘attempted murder’
Police in Manchester, England, are still searching for a suspect in a mass shooting they are investigating as “attempted murder.”
The incident unfolded in the Moss Side, an inner-city area, around 2:25 a.m. Sunday. An estimated 10 people, ranging in age from 12 to their 50s, were wounded – mostly with pellet-wounds to their legs, indicative of a shotgun discharged at close range, according to police.
Four people remained hospitalized while eight others have since been discharged.
The wounded were part of a crowd celebrating after the end of a two-day Manchester carnival in Alexandra Park commemorating the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the “Windrush generation” – a group from the Caribbean who came to England to fill a labor shortage on a passenger liner called the Empire Windrush.
Footage posted online in the immediate aftermath of the attack showed alarm and confusion as the crowd rapidly dispersed.
Officials have not yet identified a motive for the attack and the investigation was ongoing.
“However, we’ve got to be clear, it would be obvious to any particular person that discharging a firearm in a large crowd like this is completely reckless,” the chief superintendent of the Greater Manchester Police, Wasim Chaudhry, said at a news conference Sunday afternoon.
Greater Manchester’s deputy mayor for crime praised the police for their “swift action” as well as the “local people who have responded quickly to say this doesn’t reflect the Moss Side of 2018.”
