In a tragic incident at a Minnesota apartment complex, an irate tenant reportedly opened fire, killing three employees during a violent outburst stemming from a parking disagreement.

The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Tsegaab Binessu, allegedly shot and killed three staff members: Nansi Fuentes Zambrano, 25, Dena Silcox, 56, and Adam Wilwerding, 43. The shooting occurred in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Monday, according to KSTP.

Documents suggest that Binessu, who hails from Ethiopia, sought to terminate his $65-per-month garage lease due to his intentions to enlist in the Navy.

After contacting the staff to inquire about terminating the contract, he was informed that cancellation was not possible because he had recently renewed his agreement.

Binessu reportedly mentioned to the staff that he intended to visit the leasing office, which preceded the alleged shooting spree.

He “went to the leasing office a short time after that phone call and he executed three workers,” the court documents state. 

He is accused of shooting Wilwerding, a community manager known affectionately as AJ, six times and Silcox six times.

Silcox, who was the assistant manager having worked in the office for almost a decade, reportedly screamed “No, no – no no” when Wilwerding was shot. 

She was shot five times in “rapid succession” before Binessu allegedly fired another gunshot, which sent her crashing to the floor, the court documents said, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

A scream was heard on surveillance video and Binessu allegedly fired four more shots.

Fuentes Zambrano was found dead in a room at the back of the office – and she tried to escape through a window when she was shot. She was found with a gunshot in her head. 

Investigators found 21 spent shell casings in the office, according to the documents.

Binessu was arrested in Virginia, Minn. – around 200 miles from the crime scene – and reportedly confessed to the killings in a call with his roommate, who later called the cops. 

The alleged shooter told his roommate “he had argued with apartment management and ended up killing three people,” the court documents state.

Binessu was arrested driving Fuentes Zambrano’s car and he moaned that he “hated the American system” during his interrogation.

He claimed he had been trying for seven years to bring his wife and kids from Ethiopia – but he had been stymied due to the immigration process.

Binessu said the ordeal had contributed to his divorce from his spouse.

“Binessu believes he was treated unfairly because he is black and an immigrant,” the court documents stated.

“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 also told investigators that he quit his truck driver job because of stress.

But Binessu was tight-lipped on what allegedly unfolded inside the leasing office.

Binessu was charged with second-degree murder and is set to appear in court Wednesday. He faces 40 years in prison for each murder.

Tributes have poured in for the victims. Silcox’s devastated friends said she was someone with a “vibrant spirit” which “brought joy to everyone who knew her.”

“Her sudden and violent passing has left us all in shock,” they said in a fundraiser. 

“Dena’s children, who meant the world to her, are facing this unimaginable time with bravery and love.”

At a vigil held Tuesday, Silcox’s dad Robert described her as a “fabulous piano player,” while her younger brother Erik said she had “a fire in her belly,” KARE 11 reported.

Meanwhile, Zambrano’s pal Estreya Velazquez said, “She deserved so much more than what was given to her.”

Ashley Chester, who lives in the apartment complex, paid tribute to Wilwerding, saying he was loved by all of the tenants.

“They were just good people, really good people, and you can tell because there’s residents that’s been here for years, and that says a lot,” she said of the three people killed and those who attended the vigil in their memory.

“We’re definitely together, and we’re going to stay together. We’re family now, at this point.”

Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos is reportedly exploring the idea of collaborating with a consortium seeking to acquire a share in Liverpool FC. This potential move by Bezos has created quite a buzz in the Premier League’s financial landscape.

This financial maneuver is spearheaded by British-Indian entrepreneur Amit Bhatia, who, along with a group of savvy investors, is engaged in discussions to secure a ‘strategic minority investment’ in the prestigious football club.

According to a report by Daily Mail Sport, Bhatia, who is married into the family of Indian magnate Lakshmi Mittal, is vigorously negotiating a deal with Fenway Sports Group (FSG). This agreement could elevate Liverpool FC’s valuation to an impressive £4.5 billion, equivalent to $6 billion.

Meanwhile, Sky News reveals that Bezos has been invited to join this consortium and has already engaged in conversations with Bhatia and his team. Both Fenway Sports Group and Bezos have remained tight-lipped, offering no public comments on the potential collaboration.

Fenway Sports Group assumed ownership of Liverpool back in 2010 through a £300 million transaction. Their leadership has been undeniably effective, as evidenced by the club’s success, including two Premier League titles and a sixth Champions League trophy under their stewardship.

Liverpool are largely self-sufficient, meaning FSG have not had to invest much – figures published by the Athletic in 2024 indicated that they had only pumped in £136m. 

It remains uncertain whether Bezos, 62, will help fund a stake in the Premier League team. Bezos is ranked by Forbes as the fourth richest man in the world. He has a net worth of $256.9bn (£194.9bn).

As reported by Sky News, the Amazon founder has previously considered bidding for the Seattle Seahawks – the reigning Super Bowl champions – and their NFL rivals, the Washington Commanders.

However, on neither occasion did Bezos proceed with a deal.

Bhatia, meanwhile, was co-owner at Championship side Queens Park Rangers. He has a stand named after him at the club’s stadium, Loftus Road, but surprisingly stepped down from the QPR ownership setup yesterday.

A spokesman for Fenway Sports Group said in a statement: ‘An investment consortium led, managed, and represented by Amit Bhatia has expressed interest in making a strategic minority investment in Liverpool Football Club.’

Nothing is official yet and, if it was to proceed, it would follow a similar structure to a deal made three years ago when FSG sold a small stake to sports investment firm Dynasty.

Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, originally operating it out of his garage. It now has a revenue of $716bn (£534.83bn) – the most of any company in the world – and employs almost 1.6million staff. 

FSG has 33 partners including principal owner John W Henry, chairman Tom Werner, president Michael Gordon, as well as NBA legend LeBron James. 

They have typically ceded a reasonable amount of influence to managers, being nowhere near as interfering in day-to-day affairs like the owners of Chelsea, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. 

Fans have often been frustrated that the club have not taken off the handbrake in the transfer window. The usual policy is for the club to be financially sustainable.

Last summer, they sanctioned the biggest transfer window spend by a Premier League club ever, £446m, though their club revenues had freed up space for that under Profit & Sustainability Rules. 

Liverpool are currently in Chicago as they begin their pre-season tour of the USA. 

Andoni Iraola’s side play Sunderland in Nashville on Saturday, followed by Wrexham in New York and Leeds back in Chicago, before returning home at the start of August.

Reds fans are excited to see defender Jeremy Jacquet, who signed from Rennes for £60m in January, but more incomings are anticipated. 

It has been a slow summer at Anfield – the only other arrival is £34.5m World Cup winner Victor Munoz from Osasuna. 

Iraola has identified two areas of concern and has issued an indirect appeal to transfer chiefs to kick on with summer plans.

‘It is difficult to say a number when the market is open,’ said the Basque. ‘You have to be always open to new options to improve the squad.

‘There are obvious situations where we know we need to sign players. Winger, for example. We definitely need to sign a winger. In other situations, we will have to analyse what the market gives you, what the cost is, how we see the players we have.

‘We have some tricky positions where we have injured players that we trust that are not in the ideal situation. It depends on a lot of things.’

Iraola also said Liverpool are ‘very thin’ in terms of defensive depth, with Conor Bradley out for several months more yet after a long-term knee injury.

Asked about potential exits, Iraola insisted Alisson will remain No 1 after intense interest from Juventus earlier in the window and added on World Cup runner-up Mac Allister: ‘Alexis has been one of the best players of the club in the last years.

‘He has had a very good World Cup so it is normal that other clubs want our best players. It always happens in the market. I want to keep my good players. I am looking more to sign new players than losing the ones we have.’

In a dramatic drug bust at a prominent Italian port, law enforcement officials uncovered approximately 1,700 pounds of cocaine ingeniously hidden among banana shipments, authorities announced on Tuesday.

Officials from Italy’s Guardia di Finanza reported that the illicit cargo was carefully divided into 650 packages and strategically stashed within a refrigerated shipping container. This container had made its way from a major port in Ecuador to the port of Vado Ligure.

Field tests conducted during the investigation confirmed the substance to be “extremely pure cocaine,” according to officials.

Authorities highlighted that this drug seizure ranks among the most significant anti-drug efforts executed at the port in recent years.

The shipment could have generated an estimated 250 million euros, or nearly $290 million, if it had reached the street market.

The seizure followed an extensive analysis of commercial shipping routes linking South America with Vado Ligure, an important gateway for goods entering Europe — and an “attractive” target for international drug traffickers, according to officials.

“The operation forms part of an ongoing and targeted effort to combat the international trafficking of narcotics, including efforts to protect the most vulnerable segments of the population, who are often exposed to the harmful effects of this type of criminal activity,” Guardia di Finanza said.

The seizure comes weeks after U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers discovered more than 1,100 pounds of cocaine hidden in a commercial tractor-trailer carrying cabbage at the Pharr Port of Entry in Texas.

A canine inspection and nonintrusive imaging scan alerted officers to the concealed load, CBP said. A physical search of the trailer uncovered 477 packages containing 1,173 pounds of cocaine with an estimated street value of nearly $10.8 million.

It’s likely you’re seeing a radiant smile on Ella Langley’s face these days.

Her electrifying anthem “Choosin’ Texas” has rocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, where it’s held steady for an impressive 14 weeks. This remarkable run ties it with two legendary songs, earning a distinguished place in music history.

For Langley, 27, this career-defining achievement felt surreal; she described the accomplishment as “insane” via her Instagram stories shortly after nabbing the top spot.

The soulful country ballad initially took the Hot 100 by storm in February. Now, it stands shoulder to shoulder with Mariah Carey’s breathtaking “We Belong Together” and Whitney Houston’s iconic “I Will Always Love You,” each holding the record for the most weeks at No. 1 among female artists without any male collaborations.

Moreover, “Choosin’ Texas” has equaled another of Carey’s classics, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” earning the distinction of being the second-longest chart-topping hit.

Langley broke onto the country music scene nearly a decade ago and released her debut studio album, “Hungover,” in 2024.

The catalog brought her immediate accolades with hits, including “You Look Like You Love Me” and “Weren’t for the Wind” both reaching No. 1 on country charts.

Her sophomore release, “Dandelion,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 upon its release in April.

“Choosin’ Texas” not only capped the Billboard Hot 100, but recently earned Langley the title of first female artist to simultaneously top the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts.

The “Dandelion” title was inspired by the sturdy plant which is known to withstand challenging environments.

“I learned that dandelion tea is actually a natural detox for the liver,” Ella told Billboard ahead of the release. “So, a record called ‘Dandelion’ after a record called hungover made all the sense in the world to me.

“I’ve never poured more of myself into a project, into a song, into an idea, and it’s fallen out so beautifully. It’s about learning yourself, making mistakes and realizing that it’s all just part of life.

“I want this record to be something that fans can relate to but also something they want to get up and dance to at the same time. To me, this record feels like fireflies in the summertime. It feels like windows down on a red dirt road. It feels like the best kind of Sunday afternoon. It feels like those days I remember as a kid where it felt like there weren’t enough hours in the day. This record is really a love letter to that.”

Langley served as executive producer on the album and co-wrote “Choosin’ Texas” alongside Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick and JoyBeth Taylor.
