Police arrested the suspect, identified as 44-year-old Michael Gledhill, the son of Handy’s girlfriend. According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), officers responded to the 19200 block of Erwin Street around 9:30 a.m. on June 3, 2026, following a 911 call reporting “unknown trouble.” The caller, later identified as Gledhill, chillingly told the dispatcher: “I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin.” Upon arrival, officers found Handy unconscious in the front yard suffering from a stab wound to the chest. He was transported to a local hospital by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics, where he was pronounced dead. Gledhill, who resides at the home with his mother (Handy’s girlfriend), allegedly flagged down responding officers and identified himself as the person they were looking for. He was arrested on suspicion of murder and booked into Van Nuys jail with bail set at $2 million. The LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division is investigating the incident, which authorities described as isolated with no ongoing threat to the public. Detectives are seeking additional witnesses or information. Handy had a long career in Hollywood spanning decades, with notable film credits including K-9, Unbreakable, and a role as a bartender in Top Gun: Maverick. He also appeared in numerous television shows such as NYPD Blue, Alias, and Profiler.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced the initiative during a press conference in Columbus, Ohio, describing it as a targeted effort to combat white-collar crime and hold accountable those responsible for massive financial losses. The list was inspired by an idea from Vice President JD Vance and aligns with broader Department of Justice efforts to strengthen fraud prosecutions through federal-state partnerships and enhanced data sharing.

The suspects, primarily based in Ghana, allegedly used advanced techniques including AI-generated videos to create false personas, build trust with victims, and then fabricate stories about inheritances, gold, or diamonds requiring financial assistance for “legal proceedings.” One victim, a 74-year-old man, lost $1.1 million after draining his accounts to help his supposed romantic interest. According to Northern Ohio U.S. Attorney David Toepfer, the perpetrators bragged openly on social media. Photos entered as evidence show two suspects wearing “Business is Business” shirts in front of a red Lamborghini, alongside images of a fleet of luxury vehicles (including a Tesla Cybertruck, Mercedes, and BMW), jewelry, handbags, and a lavish Ghanaian mansion with a swimming pool surrounded by modest huts. Three suspects — including one U.S. citizen — are in federal custody, while two others were arrested in Ghana and face extradition. They will face federal charges, with their own social media posts expected to serve as powerful evidence against them. The bust was announced during a press conference highlighting the work of Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud task force. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel also attended the event. Toepfer emphasized the Justice Department’s commitment: “These indictments send a stark message… we will hunt you down to the ends of the earth to ensure that you are brought to justice.” The operation ties into broader Trump administration efforts to combat fraud against vulnerable populations, including the recent launch of the FBI’s new “Most Wanted Fraudsters” list. Authorities urged the public to remain vigilant against romance scams, which continue to prey on elderly victims through emotional manipulation and high-tech deception.trib.al/eFXTRo9 vieets laijCoach of Slain Texas Teen Sobs on Stand Recalling Chaos After Fatal Track Meet Stabbing
MCKINNEY, Texas — The high school track and football coach of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf broke down in tears on the witness stand Thursday as he described the horrifying moments after the teen was fatally stabbed in the chest during a track meet last year.
Frisco coach Robert Starr testified on the first day of the murder trial against Karmelo Anthony, now 19, who is accused of stabbing Metcalf with a foldable knife following a dispute over team tent space at Kuykendall Stadium on April 2, 2025.
Starr told jurors he saw a commotion and rushed over to find Metcalf on the ground. “His face is purple, and he has a big hole in his chest,” he said, according to NBC 5. Metcalf’s family wept openly in the Collin County courtroom as the coach recounted the scene.
The coach sobbed as he described trainers attempting to revive Metcalf. Metcalf’s twin brother Hunter pleaded with Starr to “do something” while pointing toward Anthony. When Starr approached Anthony, others urged him to leave. Upon returning, Starr said everyone was praying. “I just knew Austin was gone,” he testified.
The next day, Starr sent a heartfelt text to Metcalf: “I love you man. Sorry I didn’t say enough,” which was shown to the jury and brought Metcalf’s father to tears.
According to testimony, Anthony — a discus and shot put thrower who had been tasked with helping set up equipment — was asked by Metcalf to move from under the Frisco Memorial High School team tent. The pair allegedly shoved each other before the stabbing.
Anthony claims self-defense, with his attorney arguing that the much larger Metcalf initiated physical contact. Prosecutors counter that Anthony ditched the knife and tried to flee, calling the act “senseless.”
Another coach, Vincent Hooper, testified that he restrained Anthony, who told him, “He put his hands on me. I stabbed him.” When warned that the stabbing could change his life if Metcalf died, Anthony reportedly replied that he wouldn’t die — before breaking down in tears. The two later hugged.
Athletic trainer Tiffany Whiteaker described performing CPR and the brief false hope when color returned to Metcalf’s face after a transfusion — only for it to fade upon seeing the chest wound.
Anthony has pleaded not guilty and faces up to life in prison if convicted. The trial is ongoing.
