Atlanta police chief resigns in wake of deadly officer-involved shooting.
Five members of the violent MS-13 street gang have been accused of gunning down a Maryland man who was ambushed as he left his home to go to work. Their arrests in the May 26 shooting death of Francisco Anton Medrano-Campos, 29. Police said two gunmen were lying in wait for Medrano-Campos that morning when he emerged from his Wheaton apartment just outside Washington. Montgomery Couty police said Medrano-Campos had no connections to MS-13 or any other gang, which was the first to report key details on the arrests and the link to the gang. Police say the gang targeted Medrano-Campos after he beat Orellana with a lead pipe for stealing cash, a PlayStation and an Xbox from him after moving out. Orellana was arrested the day after the murder. Mugshots for Top Left: Victor Alfonso Cruz-Orellana Top Middle: Carlos Andres Orellana Top Right: Daniel E.

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is eligible to receive pension benefits during his retirement years even if he's convicted of killing George Floyd, according to the Minnesota agency that represents retired public workers. Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter in the May 25 death of George. Video of the arrest shows Chauvin, who is white, using his knee to pin down the neck of George, who was black and handcuffed, for several minutes as Floyd pleaded for air and eventually stopped moving. George's death has sparked protests around the world. The Minnesota Public Employees Retirement Association said in a statement that former employees who meet length-of-service requirements qualify for benefits regardless of whether they quit or are fired. Those payments are not affected by criminal charges or convictions, the agency said, citing state law.
