Crime & Arrests

La jugadora de la WNBA, Kysre Gondrezick, está denunciando a los fiscales involucrados en el caso de agresión de Kevin Porter Jr., diciendo que el fiscal del distrito sigue impulsando una "falsa narrativa" a pesar de que ella ha negado en repetidas ocasiones que su exnovio la atacó.

TMZ Sports habló con Gondrezick esta semana y dice que el manejo que ha tenido la oficina del fiscal de Manhattan del incidente de septiembre ha "agravado aún más su trauma que la experiencia real".

La joven de 26 años nos dice que le dio una declaración a los funcionarios una semana después de que Porter fuera arrestado y les explicó que la denuncia penal original no era ni de cerca lo que había pasado. Ahora quiere que el fiscal reconozca públicamente su versión de los hechos: que se cayó y se golpeó la cabeza después de que Kevin la despertara bruscamente tras una noche de fiesta. Ella es firme en que nunca la golpeó.

Como informamos anteriormente, Kevin Porter Jr. fue acusado de golpear varias veces a Gondrezick y de ponerle las manos en el cuello, lo que habría resultado en una vértebra del cuello fracturado y una laceración por encima de su ojo.

Más tarde se supo que la dolencia del cuello NO había sido obra de Porter, sino que se trataba de una lesión preexistente.

En cuanto a la laceración, Gondrezick afirma que fue consecuencia de la caída que sufrió y una mancha de maquillaje en la pared del hotel respalda su versión.

Kevin Porter Jr. fue detenido por agresión y estrangulamiento, pero uno de los cargos fue retirado por "insuficiencia de pruebas".

Gondrezick dice que se está abriendo para protegerse a ella misma, no a Kevin, y no quiere que las autoridades la sigan silenciando. También pide que los funcionarios responsables de impulsar la actual narrativa rindan cuentas.

El abogado de Gondrezick, Bobby Altchiler, también tomó parte en el asunto. Dice que su cliente ha estado recibiendo amenazas de muerte debido a la mala gestión del caso, llamando poco ético e inmoral que no se corrija la información que está circulando.

En palabras simples, Altchiler reiteró exactamente lo que quiere Gondrezick.

"Sean honestos, por el amor de Dios".

Kevin Porter Jr. deberá comparecer ante el tribunal a finales de este mes.

WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick is raising hell, calling out prosecutors involved in Kevin Porter Jr.'s assault case ... saying the District Attorney continues to push a "false narrative" despite the fact she's repeatedly denied her ex-boyfriend attacked her.

TMZ Sports spoke with Gondrezick this week ... and she claims the Manhattan D.A.'s office's handling of the September incident has "compounded my trauma even more than the actual experience."

The 26-year-old tells us she gave officials a statement one week after Porter was arrested and explained the original criminal complaint was nowhere near what happened. Now, she wants the D.A. to publicly acknowledge her side of the story ... that she fell and hit her head after KPJ abruptly woke her up after a night out. She's adamant he never struck her.

As we previously reported, KPJ was accused of hitting Gondrezick multiple times and putting his hands around her neck -- resulting in a fractured neck vertebra and a laceration above her eye.

It was later revealed the neck ailment was NOT Porter's doing, as it was a pre-existing injury.

As for the laceration, Gondrezick says it was the result of the fall, and a makeup smear on the hotel room wall backs up her story.

KPJ was arrested for assault and strangulation ... but one charge was dropped due to "insufficient evidence."

Gondrezick says she is opening up to protect herself -- not KPJ -- as she does not want authorities to silence her. She's also calling on officials responsible for pushing the current narrative to be held accountable.

Gondrezick's attorney, Bobby Altchiler, also weighed in ... and he claims his client has been receiving death threats due to the mishandling of the case -- calling it unethical and immoral to not correct the information that is already out.

Bottom line -- Altchiler reiterated exactly what Gondrezick wants.

"Just be honest, for God's sake."

KPJ is due in court later this month.

Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Hogan, found himself in a jail cell early this weekend -- 'cause he got arrested for DUI ... and the location is notable.

According to online records, Nick got busted Saturday morning just before 4 AM in Clearwater, FL -- where cops booked him on suspicion of driving under the influence ... noting he allegedly refused to submit to sobriety testing.

The exact circumstances that led up to the arrest are unclear for now, but they're logging this as a misdemeanor -- and they had Nick pose for this mug while he was being processed. As of this writing, he hasn't been released from custody.

On its face, it's a simple DUI arrest ... which, while serious, wouldn't normally be all that big a  deal -- especially if nobody got hurt. However, Nick had previously been involved in a scary car accident way back in the 2000s when he was just a teen ... also in Clearwater, FL.

It was a well-documented saga at the time ... Nick was driving with a Marine friend of his -- John Graziano -- who suffered a serious brain injury from the wreck ... but survived.

Nick, who was 17 at the time, ultimately pleaded no contest to reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. In the lead-up to that plea, cops had alleged alcohol was involved. Nick went on to serve an 8-month sentence behind bars in the aftermath.

Of course, the Graziano family also sued the Hogans over the accident ... and they settled out of court.

Nick doesn't appear to have any reps at the moment -- so we reached out to Hulk's camp for comment ... but no word back yet.

Suge Knight will directly address Cassie's claim Diddy once grabbed a bunch of guns to go confront the ex-Death Row Records boss ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned, although Puffy might have already beat him to the punch.

The ex-Death Row Records honcho will tape the Diddy convo on his "Collect Call" podcast in the next couple of weeks, right after he drops his Thanksgiving Day episode ... according to sources involved in the production. That was the plan, anyway, before Diddy and Cassie suddenly settled Friday night.

As we reported ... in Cassie's lawsuit against Diddy, she'd claimed that one night while she was at home with Diddy, one of his security staff burst into the room to inform him that Suge had been spotted at the popular L.A. eatery Mel’s Drive-In Diner.

Cassie alleges Diddy immediately got dressed, retrieved multiple firearms from a safe and ran out to go confront Suge. It doesn't appear any public altercation ever went down.

Like we said, the ex-Bad Boy singer was seeking major damages in her lawsuit against Diddy, claiming she endured savage beatings over several years of sex and alcohol-fueled benders. But late last night, she and her ex put their differences aside ... both saying they were "amicably" settling the matter.

Diddy's legal team had told us the suit was nothing but a classic shakedown for $30 million.

Suge and Diddy's history dates back to the mid-'90s at the height of the East Coast/West Coast rap wars that eventually ended with the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie -- so, not surprisingly, we're told Suge won't hold back with his take on Diddy's new legal drama.

Speaking of Pac, that Thanksgiving episode of Suge's pod will tackle Keefe D's arrest for the 1997 murder.

Suge and Breakbreak Media CEO Dave Mays launched "Collect Call" back on Halloween ... and their next couple episodes are shaping up to be their most explosive.

Suge Knight abordará las acusaciones de Cassie de que Diddy una vez agarró un montón de armas para ir a enfrentarse con el ex jefe de Death Row Records, esto de acuerdo a fuentes cercanas a la producción de su podcast.

Nos dicen que Suge grabará la conversación sobre Diddy en "Collect Call" en las próximas semanas, justo después de que lanze su episodio del Día de Acción de Gracias, que abordará la detención de Keefe D por el asesinato de Tupac Shakur.

De acuerdo a su demanda contra Diddy, Cassie afirma que una noche estaba en casa con él cuando alguien de su equipo de seguridad irrumpió en la habitación para informarle de que Suge había sido visto en el popular restaurante Mel's Drive-In Diner en Los Ángeles.

Cassie alega que Diddy se vistió inmediatamente, sacó varias armas de fuego de una caja fuerte y salió corriendo para enfrentarse a Suge. Pareciera que no se denunció ningún altercado. Como informamos anteriormente, la ex cantante de Bad Boy Records está buscando reparaciones por grandes daños en su demanda contra Diddy, alegando que soportó salvajes palizas durante varios años de sexo y borracheras llenas de alcohol.

El equipo legal de Diddy nos dice que la demanda no es más que una clásica estafa por 30 millones de dólares.

La historia de Suge y Diddy se remonta a mediados de los 90, en plena guerra del rap entre la Costa Este y la Costa Oeste que acabó con la muerte de Pac y Biggie, y nos han dicho que no se guardará nada en su próximo comentario.

The new Speaker of the House dropped a huge batch of videos recorded inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 -- and some conspiracy theorists will, no doubt, say they prove confirmation bias.

Speaker Mike Johnson just released a massive cache of surveillance footage from inside the Capitol that was shot on that fateful day -- and you can imagine, it shows varying moments of activity as demonstrators broke in and stormed the premises.

Yes, there are instances when rioters are casually strolling through the grounds once they get inside ... and in some cases, they're actually walking right past police officers and other security personnel -- which, obviously, isn't a great look for law enforcement.

You can even see some elected officials shuffling through the halls ... and they're not necessarily sprinting as they're being escorted by armed guards. Par for the course -- a ton of conservative personalities are latching on to this as evidence Jan. 6 wasn't actually an insurrection ... but rather, a peaceful protest that's been blown out of proportion.

While those conservatives might think their point is made in this video dump -- fact is, there's even more video -- which we've all seen -- depicting the utter chaos and violence that actually unfolded.

There are countless videos of rioters squaring up and fighting cops outside -- with batons being swung, and mace being sprayed. Also not in dispute, Capitol Police officers lost their lives in the line of duty that day ... and one protester, Ashli Babbit, was shot and killed inside. So, this wasn't some kumbaya get-together.

It's interesting that Rep. Johnson -- who's known to be very Donald Trump-friendly -- was the one who ended up releasing these. Previous Speaker Kevin McCarthy had a lot of pressure on him to do the same before he was ousted, but ultimately never did.

Samuel Haskell Jr. was hit with 3 counts of murder -- even though cops say they only recovered body parts of one victim --  and now we know why.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the reason Haskell is charged with three murders is because of what witnesses told police and what cops later found at his home.

Our sources say the day laborers Samuel hired to haul away trash bags from his home are key to the case ... they told cops they grew suspicious, opened a bag, saw body parts, and brought the bags back to Haskell.

We're told there's also biological evidence found at the home where his wife and in-laws lived before going missing. Our law enforcement sources tell us the biological evidence is from 3 different people. We do not know the nature of the biological evidence, but we do know police found blood at the house.

TMZ broke the story ... Haskell is on video dumping what appears to be a heavy black bag into a dumpster near his home, the day before someone discovered a dismembered body inside a bag from the same dumpster.

TMZ also got footage of the day laborers hauling 3 trash bags from his home, driving off, before ultimately returning the bags to his driveway. The workers then went to police and Haskell drove his Tesla to a nearby strip mall and dumped a bag in the dumpster.

The body found in the dumpster has not been identified ... but we're told it's a woman. Haskell is charged with murdering his 37-year-old wife, Mei, and her parents, 72-year-old Gaoshan Li and 64-year-old Yanxiang Wang.

Our sources say it will be nearly impossible for law enforcement to recover the other bodies ... especially if they were chopped up and dumped in the trash.

The issue ... we're told once the trash is emptied and taken to a landfill, it gets dumped and buried very quickly ... making it very difficult to identify remains.

In fact, we're told there's a good chance none of the bodies would have ever been recovered if not for the homeless person who discovered the bag filled with body parts.

Samuel Haskell Jr. fue acusado con tres cargos de asesinato, a pesar de que la policía dice que solo se recuperaron las partes del cuerpo de una víctima, y ahora sabemos por qué.

Fuentes policiales dicen TMZ que la razón por la que Haskell está acusado de tres asesinatos, a pesar de solo haber encontrado un cuerpo, se debe a la ayuda de los testigos y a lo que la policía encontró más tarde en su casa.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que los trabajadores que Samuel contrató para transportar las bolsas de basura de su casa son la clave del caso, le dijeron a la policía que empezaron a sospechar así que abrieron una bolsa, vieron partes del cuerpo y llevaron las bolsas de nuevo a Haskell.

Nos dicen que también hay evidencia biológica encontrada en la casa donde su esposa y suegros vivían con él antes de desaparecer. Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que esta evidencia podría incluir sangre, tejido corporal y otros fluidos corporales.

TMZ lo dijo primero, Haskell aparece en video cargando lo que parece ser una pesada bolsa negra en un contenedor cerca de su casa,  justo el día antes de que alguien descubriera un cuerpo desmembrado dentro de una bolsa del mismo contenedor.

También hay imágenes de los trabajadores sacando tres bolsas de basura de su casa, marchándose antes de devolver finalmente las bolsas a su entrada. Al parecer, los trabajadores fueron a la policía y Haskell condujo su Tesla a un centro comercial cercano y arrojó una bolsa en el contenedor de basura.

El cuerpo encontrado en el contenedor de basura no ha sido identificado, pero al parecer es una mujer.  Haskell es acusado de asesinar a su esposa de 37 años de edad, Mei, y sus padres, de 72 años de edad, Gaoshan Li y 64 años de edad, Yanxiang Wang.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que será casi imposible para la ley recuperar los otros cuerpos, especialmente si fueron picados y tirados a la basura.

El problema es que una vez que la basura se vacía y se lleva a un vertedero, se vierte y se entierra muy rápidamente, por lo que es muy difícil de recuperar los restos.

De hecho, nos informan que hay una buena probabilidad de que ninguno de los cuerpos nunca habría sido recuperado si no fuera por la persona sin hogar que descubrió la bolsa llena de partes del cuerpo.

Los cargos de la estrella de "Hannah Montana" Mitchel Musso, de embriaguez pública y robo, han sido desestimados, esto viene un par de meses después de ser arrestado. TMZ ha indagado.

Un representante de la ciudad de Rockwall le dice a TMZ que el caso de Mitchel fue desestimado, aunque no se dio ninguna razón. Nos dice cualquier cuerpo de video de la cámara y más información no se proporcionará porque el caso no dio lugar a una condena o adjudicación diferida.

TMZ publicó la historia, Mitchel fue esposado en agosto después de que la policía de Rockwall respondiera a una llamada en un hotel donde la gente estaba reclamando  que el actor estaba actuando de manera beligerante y había robado algo del mercado de alimentos.

Nos dijeron que el personal del hotel le exigió que pagara por el producto, pero supuestamente se puso verbalmente abusivo ... y cuando los policías lo encontraron fuera del hotel, determinaron que estaba bajo la influencia.

Además, los oficiales dijeron que encontraron órdenes de tráfico pendientes a su nombre y, finalmente, decidieron arrestarlo.

Fue fichado por algunos cargos diferentes ... intoxicación pública, robo (menos de $ 100), registro vencido, no mostrar una licencia de conducir, y la violación de una promesa de comparecer aviso ... pero ahora se nos dice todo el caso fue retirado.

"Hannah Montana" star Mitchel Musso's public drunkenness and theft case has been dropped ... TMZ has learned -- a reversal of fortune that comes just a couple of months after his arrest.

A rep for the city of Rockwall, TX tells TMZ ... Mitchel's case was dismissed, although no reason was given -- we're just told any body cam footage, and further info won't be released because the case did not result in a conviction or deferred adjudication.

TMZ broke the story, Mitchel was cuffed back in August after Rockwall PD responded to a call at a hotel where people were claiming the actor was acting belligerently and had stolen something from the food market.

We were told hotel staff demanded he pay for the product, but he allegedly became verbally abusive ... and when cops found him outside the hotel, they determined he was under the influence.

In addition, officers said they found outstanding traffic warrants in his name and ultimately decided to arrest him.

He was booked on a few different charges ... public intoxication, theft (under $100), expired registration, failure to display a driver's license, and violating a promise to appear notice ... but now we're told the whole case was dropped.

3:45 PM PT -- TMZ obtained the mugshot for suspected killer Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji.

In the booking photo, Alnaji appears to be holding back a smile.

Cops have a man in custody for the death of Paul Kessler ... the Jewish man who was killed at a pro-Palestinian rally in California earlier this month.

50-year-old Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji was arrested Thursday for allegedly killing the 69-year-old man. He's been booked for involuntary manslaughter and is being held at the Ventura County Pre-Trial Detention Facility.

Alnaji's bail is set at $1 million, and officials are still asking citizens to come forward with any information surrounding the fatal incident.

As we reported, Kessler was at a pro-Israel rally on November 5, and a pro-Palestinian rally was going on at the same time nearby -- all stemming from the war between Israel and Hamas.

Law enforcement told us Kessler got into a heated argument with the Palestinian supporters, leading to a physical fight -- and was eventually knocked backward, causing him to fall and hit his head on the ground.

3:45 PM PT -- TMZ obtuvo la ficha policial del presunto asesino Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji.

En la foto, Alnaji parece contener una sonrisa.

La policía tiene a un hombre en custodia por la muerte de Paul Kessler, el manifestante judío que fue asesinado en un mitín pro-palestino en California a principios de este mes.

Loay Abdelfattah Alnaji, de 50 años, fue detenido el jueves por presuntamente causar la muerte del hombre de 69 años. Ha sido fichado por homicidio involuntario y está detenido en el centro de detención preventiva del condado de Ventura.

La fianza de Alnaji se ha establecido en $1 millón y los funcionarios todavía están pidiendo a los ciudadanos que se presenten en caso de tener cualquier información que rodee el fatal incidente.

Como informamos, Kessler estaba en una manifestación pro-Israel el 5 de noviembre, donde al mismo tiempo estaba ocurriendo una concentración pro-Palestina muy cerca. Todo esto, derivado de la guerra entre Israel y Hamás.

Las fuerzas del orden nos dijeron que Kessler entró en una acalorada discusión con los partidarios palestinos, lo que llevó a una pelea física. Este fue golpeado y empujado hacia atrás, lo que provocó que se cayera y se golpeara la cabeza contra el suelo.

The man who attacked Paul Pelosi at his home with a hammer last year just got convicted in federal court -- and he's facing some serious time behind bars.

David DePape was found guilty of one count of assault on the immediate member of a federal official and for attempted kidnapping of a federal official. On the first conviction, he faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and 20 years for the second.

The jury reached their verdict in less than a day -- they started deliberations Wednesday afternoon, and came back with their decision Thursday morning.

DePape actually took the stand in his own defense for this case ... and he testified that he never meant to harm Paul, and that he simply panicked when his plot didn't go according to plan. He claims he was simply there to talk to Rep. Nancy Pelosi about election interference.

Paul, of course, had a different take ... testifying that DePape burst through his bedroom door that night and demanded to know where his wife was, with a freaking hammer in hand.

He also addressed the mysterious nature of the 911 call and the moment cops found both Paul and DePape at the entryway of the home ... saying he knew he was in danger, and simply wanted to remain calm in an effort not to set off the intruder and risk harm.

Of course, in the end ... he was hurt, with DePape violently swinging his hammer at Paul as soon as he started to sense the jig was up -- and Pelosi suffered serious injuries as a result.

Nancy wasn't home that night ... and she decried DePape's attack against her husband as violent political extremism in real-time. In response to the guilty verdict, her team says the family is ... "deeply grateful for the outpouring of prayers and warm wishes for Mr. Pelosi from so many across the country during this difficult time."

Paul has made a full recovery since the incident, and he's been by Nancy's side at a lot of events in the aftermath -- including a public outing on Wednesday evening ... where he, the congresswoman and others were hobnobbing with President Biden in SF to welcome Xi.

El hombre que atacó a Paul Pelosi en su casa con un martillo el año pasado acaba de ser condenado por un tribunal federal y se enfrenta a un largo tiempo tras las rejas.

David DePape fue declarado culpable de un cargo de agresión a un familiar directo de un funcionario federal y de intento de secuestro de un funcionario federal. En la primera condena, se enfrenta a una pena máxima de 30 años y en la segunda, a 20 años.

El jurado llegó a su veredicto en menos de un día. Comenzó con las deliberaciones el miércoles por la tarde y regresó con su decisión el jueves por la mañana.

DePape subió al estrado en su propia defensa para este caso y testificó que nunca tuvo la intención de hacerle daño a Paul y que simplemente entró en pánico cuando su complot no salió como lo había planeado. Afirma que simplemente estaba ahí para hablar con el representante de Nancy Pelosi sobre la interferencia electoral.

Paul, por supuesto, tenía una opinión diferente. Testificó que DePape irrumpió en la puerta de su habitación esa noche y exigió saber dónde estaba su esposa, con un maldito martillo en la mano.

También se refirió a la naturaleza misteriosa de la llamada al 911 y al momento en que los policías encontraron tanto Paul como a DePape en la entrada de la casa. Al respecto, dijo que sabía que estaba en peligro y que simplemente quería mantener la calma en un esfuerzo por no poner en marcha al intruso y tentar al peligro.

Por supuesto, al final fue herido. DePape se abalanzó violentamente con su martillo y Pelosi sufrió lesiones graves como resultado.

Nancy no estaba en casa esa noche y denunció el ataque contra su marido como extremismo político violento en tiempo real. En respuesta al veredicto de culpabilidad, su equipo dice que la familia está "profundamente agradecida por la efusión de oraciones y cálidos deseos para el Sr. Pelosi en todo el país durante este difícil momento".

Paul se ha recuperado totalmente desde el incidente y ha estado al lado de Nancy en un montón de eventos, incluyendo una salida pública el miércoles por la noche donde se codearon con el presidente Biden en San Francisco para darle la bienvenida a Xi.

Miles Bridges is slated to make his return to the hardwood on Friday -- the Charlotte Hornets just announced he's fulfilled the terms of his 30-game suspension related to a domestic violence incident.

The team released a statement on Bridges' status on Thursday ... saying, "We are comfortable with Miles returning to play based on our current understanding of the facts of the recent allegations and remain in contact with the NBA as that matter proceeds through the court process."

Bridges -- who re-signed with the Hornets this past summer -- hasn't played a second of NBA ball since he was arrested for allegedly assaulting the mother of his children in June 2022.

The 25-year-old forward maintained his innocence throughout the case ... but pled no contest to the felony domestic violence charge in court last year.

Bridges was handed the 30-game ban in April 2022 ... but was credited with serving 2/3 of that punishment as he remained a free agent during the 2022-23 season.

Hornets head coach Steve Clifford said earlier this week he expects Bridges to have a "significant role right away" ... and the team could use him, as it's currently 3-7.

Eight high school students in Las Vegas are facing murder charges after being arrested in connection with the fatal beating of fellow student Jonathan Lewis.

The 17-year-old died earlier this month as a result of blunt force trauma injuries suffered in a beatdown near Rancho High School ... and the Clark County coroner's office listed the manner of death as a homicide, leading to a slew of arrests.

Cops in Sin City announced Tuesday all 8 arrested are between the ages of 13 and 17 ... and they're students at Rancho High.

With the assistance of the FBI, cops took all 8 students into custody Tuesday morning ... and law enforcement is still working to identify 2 more teens believed to be involved in the fatal beatdown.

The incident happened Nov. 1 after school let out, and video shows Jonathan getting beaten by a bunch of students. Police say the fight started over stolen wireless headphones and possibly a stolen vape pen ... with everyone agreeing to meet in an alley and fight over it.

While the video appears to show Jonathan, who is white, getting swarmed by mostly Black kids ... cops say the incident is not being considered a hate crime -- but note the beating was "void of humanity."
