NEW YORK > > Rapper Prodigy , a member of the hardcore New York hip-hop duo Mobb Deep , has died . He was 42 . The rapper ’ s publicist said in a statement today that Prodigy was hospitalized a few days ago in Las Vegas “ for complications caused by a sickle cell anemia crisis. ” Prodigy has battled sickle cell since birth and was in Las Vegas for a performance . The exact cause of death was not clear , the representative said . “ It is with extreme sadness and disbelief that we confirm the death of our dear friend Albert Johnson , better known to millions of fans as Prodigy of legendary NY rap duo Mobb Deep , ” the statement read . “ We would like to thank everyone for respecting the family ’ s privacy at this time. ” Prodigy was born in New York . He found success in the ’ 90s with fellow rapper Havoc in Mobb Deep . The duo ’ s hits included “ Quiet Storm ” with Lil Kim , “ Shook Ones ( Part II ) ” and “ Hey Luv ( Anything ) . ” Nas , who is also from Queens , New York , called Prodigy a “ king ” in an Instagram post . Others also paid tribute to Prodigy , who was often praised for his skilled rhymes and lyrics . Mobb Deep earned a platinum plaque for the 1999 album , “ Murda Muzik , ” which featured the memorable remix of “ Quiet Storm , ” still performed by Lil Kim on the road today . The duo also reached gold status with the albums “ Infamy , ” ” Hell on Earth ” and “ The Infamous. ” Prodigy released several solo albums , including the gold-selling “ H.N.I.C. ” 2000 . He released a cookbook of prison recipes last year , based on his time in jail . The book , “ commissary kitchen : my infamous prison cookbook , ” was released on Infamous , Prodigy ’ s own imprint at Brooklyn-based Akashic Books . He said being in prison changed him . Prodigy served most of a 3.5-year sentence in a medium-security dorm at Mid-State Correctional Facility near Utica , New York , after a plea deal on a weapons possession charge in 2007 . “ It made me realize the gravity , the reality of having everything taken from you . My career , my family , my freedom , ” he told The Associated Press in an interview last year . The rapper , who is a father of two , said it was hard to leave his kids who were young when he went to prison . “ I just tell them , you know , it was horrible . You don ’ t ever want to be in that position . Learn from my mistakes . Learn from me . You don ’ t have go through it yourself , ” he said .

Slide Fire Solutions argues that the gunman ’ s estate — earmarked for the families of the 58 killed — should share in any potential damages against the bump stock manufacturer . The Arizona man accused of selling illegally manufactured ammunition to the Route 91 Harvest festival gunman pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court .

The 21-year-old man accused of killing UNLV student Paula Davis , his ex-girlfriend , appeared in court for the first time early Monday . A man authorities said discussed attacking a Las Vegas synagogue has been indicted on a federal weapons charge , court records show . The Las Vegas man accused of bludgeoning a woman to death with a sledgehammer last week had a history of mental illness , his family said . For more than two decades , bartenders at the now-shuttered Smuggle Inn sold cocaine to anyone who wanted it , according to a letter one wrote to a Las Vegas judge . After 33 years on Nevada ’ s death row , Paul Browning was released Wednesday morning from Ely State Prison . A Las Vegas man accused of plotting to attack a local synagogue also had sketched out plans to target a McDonald ’ s restaurant , according to a new court document .

HUGHSON , Calif. ( AP ) — A man shot and killed a deputy in what police termed `` an execution , '' then stole a car and drove 150 miles to a small central California town where he was arrested after trying to steal a purse from a woman , who fought back and called authorities . Stanislaus County Sheriff 's Deputy Dennis Wallace was shot twice in the head Sunday morning as he checked on a report of a suspicious van parked near a fishing access spot outside the city of Hughson , about 10 miles southeast of Modesto . `` We believe that Deputy Wallace was killed outside of the car , and we know for a fact that the gun used in this crime was in direct contact with his head when the trigger was pulled twice , '' Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson told reporters . `` This was an execution . '' Wallace was alone when he came across the van . A dispatcher told him the vehicle was stolen , so he asked for backup . Another deputy found Wallace a short time later . The suspect , identified as David Machado , 36 , fled in the van and carjacked a white Kia sedan in the nearby city of Keyes , police said . While on the run , Machado committed an armed robbery in the town of Lindsay , about 150 miles south of where the shooting occurred , Christianson said . Then , shortly after noon , he tried to steal a woman 's purse at a convenience store . The woman fought Machado and called police . He ran away but was caught by officers a short time later . The Lindsay police officers did not known Machado was the suspect in Wallace 's killing until after he was taken into custody and they identified him through tattoos and a photo issued by Stanislaus County . Christianson said Machado was wanted on a felony arrest warrant but did not say for what crime . Authorities have recovered the van and the Kia sedan as evidence in the investigation , he said . Wallace , 53 , is survived by his wife , Mercedes , and children . He was a 20-year department veteran who lived and worked in Hughson , where he was involved in youth soccer , refereed football games and taught schoolchildren how to avoid drugs and violence in the D.A.R.E . program . `` He was n't just assigned to Hughson ; he 's a fixture in Hughson . He was so well-loved , '' County Supervisor Vito Chiesa told the Modesto Bee . Hundreds of people , including law enforcement officers , gathered at the park near where Wallace was shot to mourn his death . His brother , Modesto Police Officer David Wallace , said all he and Dennis wanted to do was follow in their father 's law enforcement footsteps . `` Dennis died doing what he loved , '' he said . Wallace is the fifth law enforcement officer in California to die in the line of duty in the last five weeks . The slaying comes after a deputy in Modoc County was killed while responding to a call about a disturbance , two Palm Springs police officers were shot to death during a domestic disturbance call , and a Los Angeles County sheriff 's sergeant was shot and killed in the high-desert town of Lancaster while answering a burglary call . `` This tragedy is yet another solemn reminder of the sacrifice men and women in law enforcement make each and every day when they put on the uniform and badge , not knowing if they 'll come home to their families at the end of their shift , '' Attorney General and U.S. Sen.-elect Kamala Harris said following Wallace 's killing .

Kansas Woman Indicted for Smuggling Heroin into Correctional Center KANSAS CITY , Mo . – A Shawnee , Kansas , woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury for smuggling heroin to an inmate at the Western Missouri Correctional Center in Cameron , Missouri . Juliane L. Colby , 43 , was charged in a four-count indictment returned under seal by a federal grand jury in Kansas City , Mo. , on March 16 , 2021 . That indictment was unsealed and made public at Colby ’ s initial court appearance today . The federal indictment alleges that Colby participated in a conspiracy from Aug. 1 to Aug. 10 , 2019 , to distribute heroin . Colby allegedly conspired with others to smuggle heroin and other contraband into the Western Missouri Correctional Center . According to the indictment , Colby hid heroin in an envelope marked as “ Legal Mail ” that also contained numerous pleadings and documents from a criminal court case along with other contraband . The envelope was labelled with a return address for a law firm purportedly located in Harrisonville , Mo. , the indictment says , although Colby mailed it from a post office in Shawnee . Colby and a conspirator at the correctional center allegedly had a series of phone conversations during which they used a variety of code words to discuss the plan to mail heroin and contraband into the center . In addition to the drug-trafficking conspiracy , the indictment charges Colby with one count of attempting to distribute heroin and two counts of using a communication facility ( a cell phone and the U.S . Postal Service ) to commit the drug-trafficking offenses . The charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations , and not evidence of guilt . Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury , whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence . This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brent Venneman . It was investigated by the FBI , the U.S . Postal Inspection Service , the Cameron , Mo. , Police Department , and the Missouri Department of Corrections .

Interpreter In Federal Criminal Investigation Charged With Disclosing Investigation And Court-Ordered Wiretap To Targeted Drug Dealer SAN JOSE – Liliana Moreno , a Spanish translator hired as a contractor by the Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ) in a drug trafficking investigation , appeared today in United States District Court to face federal charges that she intentionally disclosed the investigation and its court-ordered wiretap to the investigation ’ s target , announced United States Attorney David L. Anderson , Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General Los Angeles Field Office Special Agent in Charge Zachary Shroyer , and Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent in Charge Daniel C. Comeaux . “ We trusted Liliana Moreno to keep her work confidential , ” said U.S. Attorney Anderson . “ Law enforcement needs confidentiality to protect the rights of the innocent and the guilty . We allege Moreno violated that trust. ” “ Moreno jeopardized an investigation when she allegedly tipped off the subject of a court-authorized wiretap . DOJ employees and contractors who share confidential law enforcement information will be held accountable for their actions , ” said Zachary Shroyer , Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General Los Angeles Field Office . “ Releasing sensitive government information can have devastating consequences . Not only does it damage a case , often beyond repair , but more importantly , it also endangers the lives of those agents and officers assigned to the investigation , ” said DEA Special Agent in Charge Daniel Comeaux . “ In instances such as these we will ensure justice is served without delay. ” According to the federal complaint unsealed today , Moreno , age 35 , of Modesto , California , worked for a private company that contracts with DEA to provide translation services . DEA regularly uses interpreters in court-authorized wiretaps to monitor and translate intercepted telephone calls in a foreign language . DEA hired Moreno as a contractor , and she promised in DEA employment contracts never to disclose any investigative information without authorization and to notify DEA if she had any personal association with a target of an investigation . The complaint outlines that DEA assigned Moreno as the lead monitor and Spanish translator for a court-authorized wiretap in an investigation of a drug trafficking organization whose membership included numerous Spanish-speaking members . During February and March of 2018 , the complaint alleges that while monitoring calls Moreno recognized an individual on a call who she knew from the individual ’ s romantic relationship with a friend of Moreno . DEA agents also displayed a surveillance photo and name of that individual , deemed Wire Target 2 in the complaint , in the wire room where Moreno worked . Despite this , Moreno did not notify DEA about her knowledge and association with Wire Target 2 , the complaint outlines . Instead , Moreno met with her friend on March 17 , 2018 , and according to the complaint ’ s allegations , warned the friend that Wire Target 2 ’ s calls were being intercepted in a DEA wiretap investigation and that DEA had a photo of Wire Target 2 . Moreno ’ s friend relayed this information to Wire Target 2 , and the complaint describes how Wire Target 2 and another drug-trafficking organization member thereafter discarded their wiretapped cell phones , frustrating and significantly delaying the investigation . Moreno made her initial appearance on the complaint , which was unsealed today , before the Honorable Virginia K. DeMarchi , United States Magistrate Judge . Moreno remains out of custody on a $ 50,000 bond . Moreno ’ s next scheduled appearance is on February 19 , 2021 , for appointment of counsel before United States Magistrate Judge DeMarchi . A complaint merely alleges that a crime has been committed , and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt . Moreno is charged with one count of unlawful disclosure of electronic surveillance , in violation of 18 U.S.C . § 2232 ( d ) . If convicted , the defendant faces a maximum sentence of 5 years in prison and a fine of $ 250,000 . However , any sentence following conviction would be imposed by the court after consideration of the U.S . Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of a sentence , 18 U.S.C . § 3553 . The United States Attorney ’ s Office Special Prosecutions Section is prosecuting the case . The prosecution is the result of an investigation by the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General and the Drug Enforcement Administration .

BOULDER , Colo. ( CBS4 ) – The suspect and the victim in a fatal Boulder late-night shooting argued over a restaurant bill right before a fight broke out , according to newly released police documents . Investigators say Louis Sebastian , 33 , had been invited to the same party Sunday night as the victim , Chris King , 49 . Both men were allegedly interested in dating the woman who was throwing the party , and King ’ s invitation to the party was sent in a text the host says she sent accidentally . Attendees of the party went to a restaurant just off the Pearl Street Mall afterwards — Bramble & Hare — and when the bill arrived the group was $ 100 short on the bill . That prompted an argument between Sebastian and King , who went outside the restaurant . That ’ s when the shooting happened . The two men came back inside after the violence broke out and the chef , a former Marine , then detained Sebastian and was helped by others as they held him until police arrived . He now being held without bail and is facing first degree murder charges . At least one bullet holes could be seen in the front door of the restaurant on Monday .

Use of blackface casts light into dark in Dans la République du bonheur Pointless , baffling minstrel-show effect mars top-notch play Oh , no . Not blackface again . I was thoroughly enjoying Christian Lapointe ’ s feisty version of British playwright Martin Crimp ’ s play Dans la République du bonheur ( The Republic of Happiness ) at the Cinquième Salle of Place des Arts last weekend , until the final minutes of the show . Something cringeworthy happened . It was high-tech and had nothing to do with makeup . Lapointe ’ s lingering blackface interlude is achieved through projection of live video images of white performers onto two screens , flipping their faces into negative black during the process . Thus , on screen , actor Eve Landry becomes a black woman with huge white lips holding a stuffed black cat instead of the white one in her arms . This minstrel-show effect is strange enough . But when the same image is projected into a booth on the other side of the stage , distortion occurs , her nostrils become white eyes and the sunshade she is wearing looks like a pork pie hat on the head of an ape-like black person in a cage . This is downright creepy . Not to mention pointless and baffling . Keeping in mind that the playwright , Crimp , is often associated with the school of “ in-yer-face ” provocative theatre ; perhaps director Christian Lapointe was trying to assert his right to be offensive . More likely , he and his creative team were just playing with the technology at their disposal and thought they were saying something clever about our parallel digital lives . Lapointe , who won the Canada Council ’ s John Hirsch award in 2010 , is one of the most interesting theatre artists of his generation . This production of Dans la République du bonheur , co-produced by Théâtre Trident and Théâtre Blanc of Quebec City and Place des Arts , premièred in Quebec City in January to positive reviews . Lapointe has placed Crimp ’ s play , basically a Christmas reunion of a dysfunctional family gone terribly wrong , in a surreal poolside setting that evokes the worst of Florida tacky . Each character has a particular whine . Grandpa ( Roland Lepage ) keeps insisting that he ’ s neither senile nor impotent . His two perky teenage granddaughters , one of whom is pregnant , the other addicted to “ selfies , ” are living Barbie dolls who take to the microphone like early versions of Britney Spears . ( Joanie Lehoux plays Debbie , Noémie O ’ Farrell , her sister Hazel . ) When latecomer Uncle Bob ( David Giguère ) arrives , he stirs up the pot by announcing that his wife , Madeleine ( Landry ) , has remained in the car because she hates them all . Then Madeleine bursts in to use the port-a-potty beside the pool , and soon Landry is burning up the stage with a Lady-Gaga-gone-nasty turn . The style here is part punk-rock musical theatre , part psychedelic multimedia happening , part spoken word . Actors frequently speak directly to the audience through two standing microphones on stage . The humour is dark and often hilarious . Crimp questions the notion of happiness within a world where the affluent have such an exaggerated sense of entitlement that they fill the air with litanies of petulant demands for more and more . The eight-member ensemble is top-notch , but Denise Gagnon , as Grandma , is exceptional , owning the stage whenever she wants to in this collectively narrated piece . Some members of the audience couldn ’ t take the audio/visual bombardment and walked out early on at the performance I attended . But I was thoroughly enjoying the madness of it all until Lapointe ’ s off-putting blackface faux pas at the end . It reversed my perception , casting light into dark , stifling my “ Bravo ! ” * * * The National Theatre School production of Bertolt Brecht ’ s The Caucasian Circle now playing at the Monument National offers a refreshing view of this 1948 modern classic about a peasant girl named Grusha who gets into a custody battle over an abandoned child of the nobility she has rescued during a time of revolution . Director Micheline Chevrier has wisely chosen to use the 1997 translation by Irish playwright Frank McGuinness , which sparkles with fresh insight . She draws strong performances from this year ’ s NTS graduating class in a production notable for its excellent sound design ( Bruce Lambie ) , beautifully designed sets ( Lorena Trigos ) , and rousing crowd scenes . Dustin Luck heightens the comedic side of the sodden judge Azdak . Emma Laishram demonstrates her versatility through multiple roles , both male and female , in addition to acting as manipulator for the puppet depicting the disputed , and remarkably silent , child . ( A cry or two would have struck a chord with mothers in the audience . ) Shelagh Haney ’ s sincere take on Grusha maintains our empathy for the two-hour , 45-minute duration .
