GREENEVILLE, Tenn. (WJHL) — In a significant legal decision, a jury has convicted Jordan Allen of the first-degree murders of his 7-year-old brother and grandmother.
The tragic incident unfolded in April 2022 when Allen, then 16 years old, was accused of killing his brother, Jessie Allen, and grandmother, Sherry Cole, at their residence on Old Snapps Ferry Road.
In Chicago, a heartfelt tribute was held on Friday as friends, family, and colleagues gathered to honor the memory of fallen firefighter Steven Decker.
A crowd comprising numerous firefighters and schoolchildren from nearby institutions assembled outside the church to pay their respects to Decker.
The community marked the occasion by adorning trees with red ribbons and ringing bells, commemorating the life of the 61-year-old firefighter.
Decker tragically passed away during a biannual mandatory hose testing exercise after experiencing a medical emergency.
Having dedicated 30 years to the Chicago Fire Department, Decker is the second firefighter to lose his life in the line of duty this year. Firefighter Michael Altman also tragically died two months ago while fighting a blaze in Rogers Park.
Decker’s brother, says before he and Steve could drive they were already serving their community.
“Steve would run into my room, says ‘Let’s go we’ve got a fire,’ so we would get on our bikes and we would ride with turnout gear. I don’t know how we did it but we did. We just did it. Then when we got older and we got cars, that didn’t change. And for our wives, at that time it was our girlfriends, if they were with us and we got that call, those scanners were on 24 hours a day.”
Decker had a medical emergency while training last week and died. He was a 30-year veteran of the fire department.
Decker is the second Chicago firefighter to die while on-duty this year. CFD Firefighter Michael Altman was also killed two months ago while battling a fire in Rogers Park.
The Decker family said in lieu of flowers they are asking the community to consider a donation to Tunnels to Towers Foundation or a charity of choice in Steve’s memory.

On Friday, Kevin Warsh officially assumed the role of chairman of the Federal Reserve, stepping into the helm of the globe’s most influential central bank amidst concerns over rising inflation, market volatility, and debates about its autonomy.
During a ceremony at the White House, President Donald Trump emphasized the importance of Warsh’s independence, stating, “I want Kevin to be completely self-governing. Don’t seek guidance from me or anyone else.”
The swearing-in was conducted by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Warsh, aged 56, was recently confirmed by the Senate to take on this pivotal role.
Warsh replaces Jerome Powell, who retains the possibility of remaining a member of the Fed’s board until January 2028. In a notable departure from tradition, Powell has expressed his intention to pursue this option, despite facing criticism from Trump over his cautious approach to reducing interest rates.
Warsh succeeds Jerome Powell, who has the option to remain on the Fed’s board through January 2028. In a break from precedent, Powell has indicated he’ll take that step after years of Trump blasting him for failing to lower interest rates quickly enough.
The transition comes as inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target and policymakers debate whether rates may need to rise again despite Trump’s long-running demands for cuts.
Bond traders are already betting Warsh may have to raise interest rates before the end of the year — a dramatic reversal from earlier Wall Street expectations that Trump’s handpicked Fed chief would usher in rapid rate cuts.
Markets sharply repriced Friday after Fed Governor Christopher Waller warned policymakers should remain open to additional tightening as inflation pressures intensify, underscoring the economic minefield Warsh inherits on day one.
The former Morgan Stanley banker has repeatedly argued the Fed kept policy too loose for too long and allowed inflation to spiral. He has also blasted the central bank’s massive bond-buying campaigns and promised to shrink the Fed’s balance sheet.
During his confirmation hearings, Warsh declared that “inflation [is] the Fed’s choice,” arguing policymakers have the tools to restrain price growth if they are willing to use them.
Warsh has been seen as more amenable to cutting rates than Powell.
During his confirmation process, he insisted he would maintain the central bank’s autonomy while aligning broadly with the administration’s economic agenda.
His confirmation ran into an impasse earlier this year when Sen. Thom Tillis (R-Fla.) vowed to block the nomination while the Justice Department investigated Powell over his comments on renovations to the Fed’s Washington headquarters. The probe was ultimately dropped, clearing the way for the Senate vote.
The Senate confirmed Warsh in a 55-45 vote on May 13, with Sens. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and is Chris Coons (D-Del.) the sole Dems to join the slim Republican majority.
Warsh is hardly a newcomer to the institution he now leads.
Born in Albany, NY, he studied public policy at Stanford University before earning a law degree from Harvard. He later joined Morgan Stanley’s mergers-and-acquisitions division before moving into the George W. Bush White House as a senior economic adviser.
Bush appointed Warsh to the Fed’s Board of Governors in 2006 when he was just 35 years old, making him the youngest governor in modern Fed history.
During the financial crisis, Warsh became one of the Fed’s key emissaries to global markets and foreign governments. He later emerged as an internal critic of the central bank’s increasingly aggressive intervention policies before departing in 2011.
Warsh is married to Jane Lauder, an heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics fortune and daughter of billionaire Ronald Lauder, linking the new Fed chair to one of New York’s most powerful business dynasties.
On Friday, Kevin Warsh officially assumed the role of chairman of the Federal Reserve, stepping into the position during a period marked by increasing inflation worries, fluctuating markets, and ongoing debates about the Fed’s autonomy.
During a ceremony at the White House, President Donald Trump emphasized Warsh’s independence, stating, “I want Kevin to be totally independent. Don’t look at me, don’t look at anybody.”
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas administered the oath to Warsh, who is 56 years old. His confirmation by the Senate as chair occurred just last week.
Warsh takes over from Jerome Powell, who has the option to continue serving on the Federal Reserve’s board until January 2028. Unlike previous transitions, Powell has signaled his intention to stay on, despite past criticisms from Trump over his handling of interest rate adjustments.

BARNWELL COUNTY, S.C. – The Barnwell County Sheriff’s Office took Chemar Treyvon Black into custody on May 14th following a comprehensive investigation into narcotics activities.
According to a Facebook announcement by the agency, the investigation also uncovered evidence related to illegal dog fighting operations.
The investigation received support from the SLED Fugitive Team and the SLED Dog Fighting Unit, who played crucial roles in uncovering these activities.

CHICAGO — Renowned as the home of the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field stands as a cherished neighborhood ballpark and a national historic landmark. Its global recognition stems from its iconic features: the vivid red marquee, lush outfield ivy, and the distinctive hand-operated scoreboard. Yet, when “The Friendly Confines” first opened its gates in 1914, none of these elements were present. Surprisingly, it wasn’t even the home of the Chicago Cubs, nor did it bear the name Wrigley Field.
“Initially, it was known as Weeghman Park, founded by Charlie Weeghman,” explained Cooper Bohn, a knowledgeable tour guide at Wrigley Field. “Weeghman was keen on establishing a baseball team to rival the Cubs, who were playing at the West Side Grounds, while the White Sox were based on the South Side. Thus, he created the Chicago Federals and joined the Federal League.”
Constructed in a mere seven weeks and costing $250,000, Weeghman Park featured a covered grandstand capable of accommodating 14,000 spectators.
However, by 1916, the Federal League had disbanded, paving the way for the Cubs to make a permanent move to this North Side location, subsequently christened “Cubs Park,” in the Lake View neighborhood.
In 1921, the stadium welcomed another professional team. “The Bears relocated here from Decatur, Illinois, in 1921,” Bohn recounted. “The Cubs suggested they adopt the name Chicago Football Cubs. However, George Halas found it unappealing and believed that a team of robust football players shouldn’t be likened to baby bears, hence the compromise was to call them the Bears.”
In 1925, Bears rookie running back, Red Grange played his first professional game at Wrigley Field.
The Bears played at Wrigley field for 50 seasons, before moving to Soldier Field in 1970. The “Monsters of the Midway” established themselves as a football power winning five championships at Wrigley Field.
“That five NFL championships by the way – as much as I hate to admit it – is more than the amount of baseball championships we’ve won out here,” Bohn said.
After the 1922 baseball season, the stadium was expanded.
“They sliced the grandstand into several pieces, put it on log rollers, and in one offseason pulled it back inch by inch 60 feet with horse and buggy, and the funny thing is if you go watch a game in the upper deck you might go ‘home plate doesn’t line up directly with dead center and you go ‘yeah, horse and buggy isn’t exactly and exact science,” Bohn said,.
In December of 1926 the name “Cubs Park” was changed to “Wrigley Field” after the Cubs owner William Wrigley, Jr., whose fortune was built on chewing gum.
That same year, crews began building the upper deck, a project that took two years to complete.
In the early 1930s, the Cubs added the famous marquee at Clark and Addison Streets. At first, it was unpainted green porcelain. The original color – since recreated – is still visible on the backside of the marquee. The front facing side was painted blue, and then finally red in 1960, becoming an iconic symbol of summer ever since.
But Wrigley’s mystique comes from a mixture of the architecture and the athletes.
In perhaps baseball’s most storied moment, Babe Ruth called his shot – a home run — at Wrigley Field in the 1932 world series. “I looked out and center field and I pointed, and I said I’m going to hit the next pitched ball right past the flagpole,” Ruth said at the time. “The good lord must have been with me.”
“Wrigley field’s a landmark because of the great cubs we’ve had here, but it’s also a landmark because of those visitors.” Bohn said. “Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, and Jackie Robinson.”
Wrigley Field is the last remaining stadium in which Robinson – who broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947 – played a professional baseball game.
Between 1937 and 1938 some of Wrigley Field’s most famous features began to take shape. It’s when the outfield bleachers were built.
“Eighty-nine years they have been general admission, only time we have assigned seats out there are for all-star games and playoff games,” Bohn said.
The bleachers would become the home of one of the most recognizable fan contingents in sports – the “Bleacher Bums” – celebrated and criticized for watching day baseball instead of working.
“So, the newspaper writers said, ‘well these guys are coming out Monday through Friday at 1:20 p.m., they don’t have jobs, they must be bums,” Bohn said.
Atop the centerfield bleachers is a timeless tradition, the hand operated scoreboard – still in use today.
In 1937 crews also planted ivy on the outfield’s field’s brick wall.
“They put it up in just three days,” Bohn said. “It was kind of a last-minute decision before the 1938 season to get it installed, and so they got that ivy installed in 3 days. The guy who installed it was a young groundskeeper named Bill Veeck, who went on to own a couple of teams in his time.”
In 1941 Wrigley became the first ballpark to introduce organ music, a baseball staple that continues to entertain fans to this day.
In 1945 curse of the Billy Goat was allegedly placed on the cubs by Billy Goat Tavern owner William “Billy” Sianis. He brought his pet goat to Game 4 of the world series at Wrigley Field
“They had to call Mr. Wrigley and find out what to do,” said Bill Sianis, the current co-owner of the tavern. “He said we’ll let Billy in, but not the goat because the goat smells. He didn’t want it, you know, by the people. So, my great uncle, he got mad and left the stadium and went back to the bar, and the cubs lost the series after that. And my great uncle sent a telegram to Mr. Wrigley, who smells now? He didn’t do any ritual or anything. He told Mr. Wrigley, as long as the goat is not let back in, they’ll never win the World Series, so it became a curse over the years.”
The Cubs’ World Series drought lasted 108 years, until the 2016 team won it all.
In 1962, the new Telstar Communications satellite made it possible to send live pictures around the world. The first images of the United States seen in Europe came from Wrigley Field via the WGN television feed: “All the way from Wrigley Field in Chicago to the Coliseum in Rome,” said Jack Brickhouse, the WGN announcer at the time.
In the 1960s the Cubs fielded one of the best lineups in baseball – with Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, and Ron Santo forming a trio of eventual hall of famers, all of whom are memorialized in statues outside the ballpark.
In the late 70s, WGN – the Cubs TV home for 72 seasons – became a superstation seen on cable across the country, bringing views of day baseball at Wrigley Field to homes around the country.
In 1982 Harry Caray, the larger-than-life WGN play-by-play announcer, began his legendary 16-year run behind the microphone. He instituted a beloved Wrigley Field tradition … singing “take me out to the ballgame” during the 7th inning stretch.
In 1988, the Cubs became the last major league team to install lights.
The game was eventually rained out. But it technically wasn’t the first night game played at Wrigley thanks to pioneering team executive Margaret Donahue, the first female in a front office in American sports.
“The real first night game ever was the 1942 women all-star game Margaret and a bunch of women on those teams wheeled in temporary lights – so the women actually did it 56 years before the men,” Bohn said.
In the 1990s, as other clubs were building cookie cutter ballparks, the Cubs remained attached to Wrigley Field. “These new stadiums, you can have them,” said Harry Caray in 1993. “You know they say you can’t stop progress, but progress is not necessarily better.”
But the baseball was seldom as great as the ballpark. The cubs became known as the “lovable losers.” And the curse seemed real in 2003. The Cubs were five outs away from advancing to their first world series since 1945, when fan Steve Bartman reached out to catch a foul ball. Outfielder Moises Alou lost his temper, and the team collapsed.
In 2009, the Ricketts family bought the Cubs – and Wrigley Field – from the Tribune Company.
“They invested a ton of money into renovating this place,” Bohn said.
The Ricketts’ spent more than a billion dollars on a privately funded, multi-year renovation known as the 1060 project, for the ballpark’s address: 1060 West Addison Street.
“The 5-year renovation that the Ricketts family was able to do on it has updated it and made it a better venue to last for another 100 years,” said Elanor Esser Gorski, the president and CEO of the Chicago Architecture Center.
The original scale model of the Widely acclaimed 1060 Project is on display at the Chicago Architecture Center.
“Preserving a stadium like that is very different from preserving a building because you’re not just preserving the view from outside, you’re also preserving the view as you sit there as a fan,” she said. “The field, and what is important to the fans of baseball.”
Wrigley Field remains the second oldest Major League Baseball Park. Boston’s Fenway Park is two years older, built in 1912.
Wrigley Field’s story mirrors American history through industrial, social, and technological changes, but the “Friendly Confines” embodies something else, too: the charm of tradition, and the joy of another day at the old ballpark.
A man notorious for wreaking havoc on the streets has been handed a prison sentence following a violent road rage incident involving an assault on a woman and her teenage daughter.
Nathaniel Radimak, aged 39, received his sentencing in a Hawaiian court on Wednesday for an attack that gained viral attention in 2025. During this incident, he aggressively confronted Diane Ung and her daughter, Iwalani, while Ung was instructing her daughter on parking maneuvers.
At the time of this incident, Radimak was on parole for a similar offense committed in California. Although he was initially sentenced to five years for that crime, he served less than a year before relocating to Hawaii, where he continued his violent spree.
Radimak has now been sentenced to a seven-year prison term, with the court acknowledging the year he has already spent in custody since his arrest in May of the previous year.
The alarming incident occurred on May 7, 2025, when Radimak dangerously sped past Ung, who was teaching her daughter the intricacies of parallel parking in front of their residence.
He almost clipped their car, and her daughter yelled at him to ‘Slow down!’ The comment prompted Radimak to turn his car around and confront the mother and daughter.
Ung told local news outlet KITV at the time that her baby was asleep in the backseat of the car when Radimak confronted them.
She recalled that Radimak yelled at the teen before approaching the window and punching Iwalani in the face.

Radimak apologized in court for the attack. He said he did not plan on it and needed a ‘certain kind of treatment.’ He is pictured above in a social media post
The furious mother then leaped out of the vehicle to defend her daughter and hurled an iced coffee at his car.
‘And he came running across the street, struck me like a Superman punch right inside my face,’ she recalled.
‘I fell down to the ground, big gash in my head. And I’m just like, “Go check on the baby. Don’t worry about me. Go check on the baby,” Ung remembered telling her daughter.
Ung had a cut above her left eyebrow from the attack and required eight stitches. Radimak was charged with two counts of third-degree misdemeanor assault and one count of felony unauthorized entrance into a motor vehicle in the first degree.
He initially pleaded not guilty to the charges but entered a ‘no contest’ plea earlier this week.
‘Based on the defendant’s presentence investigation, it is evident that the type of criminal conduct in this case was in no way a one-time aberration for the defendant,’ Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Hon-Lum Y. Cheung-Cheng said of the sentencing.
‘Time and time again, the defendant keeps engaging in similar conduct. The roads may change, but the defendant’s behavior does not, and will not change.’
Radimak’s attorney, Rosa Flores, argued that his actions were a result of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, local Fox affiliate, KHON reported.
‘He was actively seeing his medical providers in the months leading up to the May 2025 incident, and the medication kept getting changed,’ she told reporters.
Radimak was previously sentenced in a California court for road rage attacks against women. He was released after one year behind bars and is pictured above attacking motorists with a pipe in Los Angeles
Diane Ung, pictured above, told KITV at the time of the attack that Radimak violently confronted her and her teenage daughter while they were practicing parallel parking
The attack last year was seen on surveillance footage, pictured above, which revealed the moments Radimack confronted the mother and daughter
‘He was reporting side effects to that, so he was actively trying to see what he could do about seeking better medication.’
Radimak apologized for his crimes at the hearing, telling the court: ‘This was not on the agenda that day. I regret it, like I said. I take accountability. Just feel bad about it. It shouldn’t have happened. I really need a certain kind of treatment.’
Judge Clarissa Malinao determined that Radimak was a ‘danger to the safety of the public’ with a ‘lengthy history’ of similar road rage crimes.
The sentence comes after Radimak made headlines in California for being the ‘Tesla road rage guy.’
He had terrorized multiple women on the road and was caught on camera using a metal pipe to bash the cars of his victims in numerous unprovoked attacks between 2022 and 2023.
Radimak was found guilty of criminal threats, vandalism, assault, and elder abuse in the California case.
Attorney Gloria Allred, who represented four of his victims, previously told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that she would seek his extradition from Hawaii.
However, Radimak’s attorney said his parole will expire in August, so he will serve his sentence in Hawaii.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Radimak’s representation and the county prosecutor’s office for additional comment.
Tucker Carlson tore into Donald Trump for ‘bragging about his popularity’ amongst Israelis on Wednesday. The former Fox News host played a clip of Trump telling reporters earlier in the day that he has a 99 percent approval rating in the far-flung country and should thus consider a ‘run for prime minister.’ Carlson, 57, promptly unloaded on the president for ‘bragging about his popularity’ in a foreign country. ‘Unmentioned is the fact that he’s 35 percent in the United States,’ Carlson said. ‘The people he pledged to represent, to fight for, whose side he promised to take in every conflict, foreign and domestic.’ Carlson claimed it was Israel pulling Trump’s domestic approval ratings down. ‘The same country that got us into the war,’ he continued.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, a supporter of Israel who worked with Kirk during his final college tour, told Semafor that the activist had been frustrated with the amount of Israel-related questions he encountered on college campuses before his death. ‘He just wanted to talk about America,’ Wolicki continued at the time. Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Alex Jones have all split with the president as well due to his decision to go to war.
In a surprising turn of events, the city council meeting last night ended with a unanimous decision to revamp the downtown area, a topic that has sparked heated debates for months. City officials have agreed on a new plan aimed at revitalizing the heart of the city, promising to breathe new life into the community while preserving its historic charm.
When asked about Carlson’s recent comments, a White House spokesperson said: ‘What matters most to the American people is having a Commander-in-Chief who takes decisive action to eliminate threats and keep them safe, which is exactly what President Trump did with the successful Operation Epic Fury. ‘President Trump campaigned proudly on his promise to deny the Iranian regime the ability to develop a nuclear weapon, which is what this noble operation accomplishes. ‘The president does not make these incredibly important national security decisions based on fluid opinion polls or podcast hosts, but on the best interest of the American people.’

In a heartfelt tribute to the late NASCAR star Kyle Busch, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is set to commemorate his legacy with a special display on its iconic scoring pylon this Friday. Busch, who tragically passed away on Thursday at the age of 41, left an indelible mark on the racing world.
J. Douglas Boles, the president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, expressed his deep sorrow over Busch’s passing. “Everyone at Indianapolis Motor Speedway is heartbroken to learn of the passing of Kyle Busch. Kyle was one of the most dominant racers in IMS history,” Boles shared in a poignant statement. “He was a fan favorite, loved for his competitive spirit and passion. He understood what racing and winning at Indianapolis means.”
In his statement, Boles extended heartfelt condolences to Busch’s family, including his wife Samantha, children Brexton and Lennix, along with the entire Busch family, Richard Childress Racing team, and the broader NASCAR community.
The tribute at the speedway offers fans attending the celebrated Carb Day, just ahead of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, an opportunity to pay their respects to Busch. His unexpected departure has sent ripples of shock and sorrow throughout the racing fraternity.
The move gives spectators celebrating the famous Carb Day at the track ahead of Sunday’s Indianapolis 500 a chance to honor the famed racer follow his shocking death.
Busch’s family announced Thursday he had been hospitalized with a “severe illness” and would not be participating in the Coca-Cola 600 on Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
A cause of death is not yet known, though Busch had been suffering from a sinus cold, made worse by g-forces and elevation changes at Watkins Glen nearly two weeks ago.
Busch appeared on the Indianapolis track countless times, winning six events at the hallowed 2.5-mile course.
He won the Brickyard 400 back-to-back in 2015 and 2016. In those same years, he also finished first in the respective NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race the day before.
Busch made his 700th career Cup Series start at the Brickyard 400 in 2024.
The racetrack is gearing up for the Indianapolis 500 this Sunday, which will draw racing fanatics from across the country. Many will remember the dominance that Busch displayed on the racetrack throughout his 21-year racing career.
Busch, in all three NASCAR traveling competitions, crossed the checkered line first 234 times, the most by any competitor. Only the legend Richard Petty also won more than 200 races.
Busch captured a pair of NASCAR championships during his career in 2015 and 2019.
He is also the only racer to win at least one Cup Series race in 19 consecutive years, from 2005-23.
