Authorities report that a disagreement over a $65 parking contract turned deadly when an Ethiopian immigrant allegedly shot and killed three property managers at a Minnesota apartment complex. The man was reportedly frustrated by his inability to terminate the contract.

Tsegaab Ademassu Binessu, aged 30, now faces three counts of second-degree murder with intent. The victims of Monday’s tragic event at a St. Paul residence were identified in court documents as 25-year-old Nansi G. Fuentes Zambrano, 56-year-old Dena M. Silcox, and Adam J. Wilwerding, 43.

The violent episode allegedly began when Binessu, having recently sold his car, contacted the apartment staff to end his $65 monthly parking license. However, he was informed that cancellation was not an option since he’d just renewed the agreement.

Prosecutors stated that despite being denied the request to cancel, Binessu expressed his intention to visit the management office personally to address the issue.

Once there, he allegedly opened fire, killing all three victims. Police later found 21 9mm shell casings in the leasing office.

Shortly after the shooting, a man called the police stating that he had been Binessu’s roommate since 2018. He said Binessu, who had aspirations of joining the U.S. Navy, called him and confessed to the triple murder, adding that he was walking to the police station.

Binessu worked as a trucker but quit two months ago, the roommate told authorities, and had planned on enlisting in the military. He sold his car the same day as the shooting, police said.

The roommate said he spoke with Binessu, who allegedly stated he “argued with apartment management and ended up killing three people.”

Surveillance footage reviewed by investigators captured Binessu talking with Silcox and Wilwerding.

At some point, Binessu allegedly pulled up his shirt, grabbed his gun from his waistband, pointed the weapon at Wilwerding — who put his hands in front of his body — and shot him three times.

Binessu then fired three more times as Wilwerding fell to the floor, court documents said.

Silcox screamed and covered her ears when Binessu allegedly shot Wilwerding, saying, “No, no— no, no, no.”

Binessu is then accused of shooting Silcox five times in rapid succession, according to court documents. As she wheeled her chair away from the desk, Binessu allegedly shot her a sixth time.

Binessu stalked around the office and said, “Motherf—— b—-,” court documents said. He then moved toward a hallway out of the camera’s view, where a woman’s screams could be heard, followed by four more gunshots.

Prosecutors said Binessu was arrested while driving Fuentes Zambrano’s car, which contained what appeared to be newly purchased camping gear, according to the charges. Inside the vehicle, authorities found his U.S. passport, Social Security card, an empty handgun magazine, and his firearm permit.

During an interview with investigators, Binessu allegedly voiced frustration with the “prolonged immigration process” and not being able to bring his wife and children to the United States for seven years, which he said contributed to his divorce and separation from his children.

“Binessu believes he was treated unfairly because he is Black and an immigrant,” the documents said. “Binessu repeatedly said he has lost everything he cared about: his wife, his children, his business, his peace of mind. Binessu said life without his family no longer made sense.”

He remains in police custody.

A protester involved in a tumultuous clash in the Los Angeles area last year has been sentenced to close to a year in federal prison. The California Post reports that the individual, identified as Jacob Daniel Terrazas, had hurled a piece of cinder block at a federal agent during the disturbance.

Terrazas, 30, received a 10-month prison sentence for assaulting a US Border Patrol agent with concrete during a demonstration in June 2025 located near Homeland Security Investigations offices in Paramount. This sentence was part of a plea agreement finalized on Tuesday.

During the commotion, Terrazas attempted to hide his identity with a mask and used a shield as well as trees for protection over the course of the three-hour protest. Court documents reveal he was among a group of protestors who targeted federal agents with rocks and chunks of cinder blocks.

Bill Essayli, the leading federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, emphasized that Terrazas’ sentencing is a warning to anyone considering violence against federal authorities.

“Our stance is unequivocal: assaulting federal agents will land you in federal prison,” he informed The Post. “Today’s sentencing is a clear signal that we will hold accountable anyone who attempts to harm or interfere with federal agents. It’s not worth it.”

Prosecutors said Terrazas threw several pieces of concrete at law enforcement, with one of those hitting a Border Patrol agent in the shin and causing a bloody gash.

The injured agent removed himself from the front lines to tend to his injury but returned to the front lines after realizing he could still walk and stand.

Another Border Patrol agent was struck by rocks but was uninjured.

Terrazas repeatedly rushed toward agents to throw remnants of the cinder block at them, using both a makeshift shield and nearby trees for cover.

Eventually an agent in tactical gear rushed Terrazas and tackled him to the ground before he was arrested.

Video of the melee shows the agents arresting Terrazas as he throws shopping carts at them, while other protestors close in on the group.

“Stay back!” one agent is heard shouting.

Law enforcement used less-lethal force pepper bells against Terrazas and other rock throwers.

Terrazas remains in federal custody.

Ford finds itself embroiled in further controversy as four more employees have reportedly been dismissed amid accusations of not paying for items at self-checkout stations located within its factories.

The situation unfolds as the automaker deals with criticism for the dismissal of seasoned electrician Kurt Kromm, who was accused and then cleared of not paying for a $1.95 cookie packet after he produced evidence that his purchase was indeed legitimate.

Among those entangled in this saga is Nick Nabozny, who shared with the Detroit Free Press his story of being let go after nearly a decade at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant. Ford alleged he left the premises with a bag of Doritos and a package of Ritz crackers with cheese that they claimed were not paid for.

Nabozny, aged 38, contests the accusations, stating that he was confident the purchase had been processed, evidenced by the kiosk’s confirmation chime and the display indicating a successful debit transaction.

A probe by the Detroit Free Press revealed that three additional Ford workers had faced similar dismissals over alleged petty thefts involving snacks. However, they were later reinstated following internal investigations that exonerated them.

Nabozny said he was confronted by Ford management on April 27 and shown surveillance footage that allegedly captured the incident earlier that month at the end of an overtime shift – a situation that closely mirrors Kromm’s case.

Kromm, who spent 11 years repairing robots and automated equipment at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, told the New York Post he refused the company’s offer to return after he was fired over the alleged failure to pay for a $1.95 package of Grandma’s Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Like Kromm, Nabozny said he was stunned when he was confronted with the accusation.

‘I asked, ‘What did I steal?” Nabozny told the Free Press.

A union bargaining representative allegedly told him, ‘They have you on camera in the marketplace stealing food.’

Nabozny said he pushed back: ‘I never stole anything in my life. Why would I jeopardize my livelihood and my family’s livelihood to steal food when I’m making good money?’

He said the footage showed him picking up a Milky Way bar, checking the ingredients and putting it back before purchasing two other snacks.

‘I grabbed two different snacks, Doritos and Ritz Crackers with cheese,’ Nabozny said. ‘Then it shows me going to the kiosk and scanning those two items. It shows me pulling my debit card out of my pocket, tapping it and waiting for it to register.’

Nabozny, who earned $40 an hour and was on track to make more than $125,000 last year with overtime, said he believed the transaction had been completed.

Another Ford employee, Brendan Fluker, told the Detroit Free Press that workers have long raised concerns about the Aramark-operated kiosks, citing problems including failed transactions, duplicate charges, frozen screens and missing receipts.

The growing outrage among workers who alleged payment glitches have wrongly branded them thieves and cost them their jobs has prompted Ford and the food service giant Aramark to investigate the self-serve kiosks at Ford’s US-based plants.

While Ford declined to comment on specifics, a spokesperson told the Daily Mail that they are reviewing the ‘limited instances where Aramark kiosk issues have been raised’.

‘We have invested significantly to upgrade our workplaces, including self-serve kiosks operated by Aramark to provide 24/7 convenience for our employees,’ the spokesperson said.

‘We are aware there have been some issues raised regarding the kiosk functionality in some limited cases, and we are working with Aramark to review these situations.’

An Aramark spokesperson also told the Daily Mail that they understand the concerns the reports have raised and are working with Ford to review each instance. 

‘We remain focused on operating with integrity and accountability,’ the spokesperson said.

Kromm was accused in May after stopping at an Aramark self-checkout kiosk during his overnight shift to buy a package of cookies when his blood sugar dropped to 60. As a diabetic, he said he needed something to eat quickly. 

When he was brought into the office by two supervisors, he was shown surveillance footage of his purchase. 

He maintained that he had paid and later uncovered a matching $1.95 charge on his bank statement. 

After sending the proof to Ford, it took 10 days for the company to respond with an email asking him to provide a notarized bank statement verifying the purchase. 

After he submitted the document, Ford informed him several weeks later that he would be reinstated with full back pay – about $33,000 – and invited him to return to work.

But Kromm ultimately rejected the offer, saying Ford never apologized or gave him the chance to prove his innocence before firing him. 

‘There was no apology. There was no serious, ‘We’re sorry,’ Kromm told The New York Post. ‘There was just, ‘Oh, you’re not coming back?’ No, I am not interested in coming back.’ 

Ford and Aramark didn’t immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment. 

In a concerning development, Italian authorities have dismantled an anonymous online campaign aimed at soliciting the public to disclose locations of Israeli tourists, Italian Jews, and businesses allegedly linked to Zionism. This initiative, reminiscent of dark historical times, has faced strong backlash from government officials and Jewish leaders, drawing parallels to the persecution of the fascist era.

“It feels like we’re reverting to the 1930s, a period marked by the hunting of Jews,” remarked Walker Meghnagi, President of the Jewish Community of Milan, in response to the circulation of the offensive Google form on social media platforms.

The form, purported to be a tool for “mapping Zionist tourism,” sought information on property acquisitions and what it dubbed as “Zionist neo-colonization” within Italy, according to various reports. It invited participants to pinpoint Jews, Israelis, and individuals perceived as associating with Zionism at various public locales, such as hotels and businesses.

Senate President Ignazio La Russa strongly condemned the movement, stating, “The online mapping of so-called ‘Zionist tourism,’ rightly criticized by Walker Meghnagi, is a grotesque act, flagrantly breaching fundamental human rights and the foundational constitutional principles of our country,” as translated.

“No form of cataloguing of persons on the basis of their religious belief or their connection with Israel is acceptable or justifiable. Behind all this lies a profound anti-Semitism that must be unanimously, firmly, and determinedly rejected,” he added. “We cannot remain motionless in the face of such serious facts that recall the ghosts of the past. To the Jewish Community all my closeness.”

The form was removed following the intervention of Gen. Pasquale Angelosanto, Italy’s national coordinator for the fight against antisemitism, according to Italian and Israeli media reports.

“This form is intended to record cases of Zionist tourism, property purchases, and, more generally, Zionist neo-colonization in Italy,” the questionnaire stated.

It said the information collected would be received by the Global Sumud Movement, an activist network associated with flotilla efforts to reach the Gaza Strip, and would remain confidential. Respondents were asked to provide sources so the reports could be verified and used to coordinate unspecified “initiatives.”

The Global Sumud Movement denied commissioning the form or knowing about it before the controversy erupted, according to The Jerusalem Post.

“Zionism is one of the issues we work on, but we do not hunt Jews, and we know nothing about this questionnaire,” the group told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. “We did not commission it and had not even seen it before it was taken offline.”

The organization said it learned about the questionnaire through news reports and reserved the right to take further action, including issuing a formal statement.

According to La Repubblica, later sections of the form asked respondents to name locations where Jewish or Israeli visitors had been seen and to indicate whether local organizations or activist groups were already “managing the phenomenon.”

Meghnagi warned that collecting and circulating such information could encourage extremists to target Jews and Israelis.

“What is happening today shows that there are unbalanced individuals out there, and if this kind of message spreads widely enough, you are certain to find someone willing to act on it,” he said. “For this reason, mapping where Jews are is extremely serious.”

Alessandro Morelli, an Italian deputy secretary of state, ripped the form as “abhorrent” and said those responsible should not go unpunished.

The hacker-thriller genre, a staple of the 1990s, captivated audiences with a fusion of far-fetched narratives and surprisingly accurate predictions about the techno-future. Wardriver leans on these classic roots with a noir-inspired twist, though it initially struggled to gain traction after a scant theatrical release last spring. Now, it’s gaining momentum on Paramount+, leaving viewers to ponder: Is this a resurgence of the genre or merely another campy dive into computer-themed storytelling?

WARDRIVER: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?

The Plot: Enter Cole (played by Dane DeHaan), a rogue hacker exploiting his talents to siphon free wifi, swipe banking details, and empty business accounts—all for his own gain, though his modest lifestyle suggests otherwise. Things take a sharp turn when Oscar (Mamoudou Athie), a vigilant doorman at a posh restaurant that falls prey to Cole’s schemes, corners him into targeting Sarah (Sasha Calle) and her suspiciously large bank balance. As the plot thickens, Sarah, Oscar, and Cole find themselves entangled in a dangerously tangled web of intrigue and deceit.

Cinematic Vibes: Wardriver eschews the mid-’90s internet paranoia typified by films like Hackers or The Net, instead embracing the style of a 1940s noir flick revamped for the digital era. Expect criminal archetypes, a protagonist of questionable morals, and a potentially treacherous femme fatale—all hallmarks of classic noir with a tech twist.

Standout Performance: While the intimate cast delivers consistently subdued performances, Dane DeHaan shines particularly bright. Once pegged as the “next big thing” in Hollywood, DeHaan’s portrayal of the lone wolf hacker showcases his talent, capturing a character whose intelligence might not lead him quite where he desires.

Notable Lines: Daniel Casey’s script injects noir elements into the 2020s landscape, yet it stands out more for its stripped-back style than memorable quotes. Much of the drama unfolds in silence, with Cole isolated in his machinations or feverishly clicking away at a keyboard, the film’s tension underscored by the ominous quiet of Salt Lake City’s streets.

Sex and Skin: Though DeHaan resembles sort of a Dirtbag DiCaprio (which is to say, DiCaprio from One Battle After Another) and Calle is also strikingly gorgeous, the movie’s sexuality is relatively muted for a contemporary movie (though it smolders in an appropriately retro way).

Our Take: The minimalism of Wardriver occasionally turns into a hinderance. The plot’s twists and turns ultimately feel pretty predictable, especially if you’ve seen more than a handful of noir thrillers. How refreshing, though, to see a new movie with such a firm grasp of noir fundamentals. Director Rebecca Thomas is known primarily for her TV work, including a notoriously fan-hated episode of Stranger Things. Yet her second feature doesn’t at all feel like that film-TV hybrid you often see in streaming movies. (It probably helps that Wardriver was at least nominally produced for theaters.) The film’s atmospheric shadows — a lot of it takes place at night — are rich and textured, rather than just murky, and Thomas makes great use of Salt Lake City locations to evoke a world that’s nocturnal and urban but surprisingly desolate at times.

DeHaan and Calle are both superhero-movie refugees — he was teeing up to iinherit the mask of the Green Goblin in the ill-fated Amazing Spider-Man film series, while she played Supergirl in a supporting role in The Flash — but despite their still-youthful good looks, they’re able to play the kinds of parts that in the 1940s equivalent of this movie would go to older-looking (if not actually older) performers. They’re both plenty charismatic, as is Mamoudou Athie, who often plays gentler personalities, while remaining believable as characters trapped in a tight spot. It would be easy to overhype Wardriver; this is a small-scale movie, somewhat predictable in its broad outlines. Yet studios have so thoroughly abandoned this kind of modest, yet stylishly-wrought, genre play that a 95-minute hacker thriller with well-drawn characters and noir bona fides feels, at times, like a revelation.

Our Call: I have no idea how broader audiences discovered Wardriver, but they’re right to keep watching it. It’s a rock-solid thriller. STREAM IT.
