RJ Mitte is being remembered by his family and friends in Texas, days after his tragic death.
The "Breaking Bad" star's sister Lacianne Carriere took to the podium during Friday's celebration of life and rightfully got incredibly emotional ... while talking about how great a brother she was to her, especially after her mother got into a terrible accident.
Speaking at Mitte Cultural District, the family’s organization in Brownsville, Texas, Lacianne stressed that everything she loves is because of RJ ... and reminded those struggling to seek help.
President Trump is reversing Pete Hegseth's plan to livestream Nidal Malik Hasan's execution by firing squad ... saying the execution may be viewed in person "by the immediate families of the victims, if they so choose."
The president took to Truth Social to address the Secretary of War's push to make the viewing public for all ... saying the idea may have been a "strong deterrent ... but, many very good and well meaning people would rather not watch him die, through streaming, or through any other visual device."
Trump says the convicted Fort Hood shooter will still be executed by firing squad, it just won't be streamed live.
One Fort Hood survivor says he plans to watch Nidal Hasan's livestreamed execution ... but doesn't want people to treat it like a party.
TMZ spoke with Alonzo Lunsford-- who was shot 7 times in the 2009 attack -- and he tells TMZ ... Hasan's livestreamed death shouldn't be treated like an event you tailgate.
He also stressed that not everyone should have access to the stream ... telling us that kids and teens should be sitting this one out.
Vice President JD Vance is casting doubt on whether the Pentagon will follow through with plans to livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan ... but if it does happen, he won't be tuning in.
"I don't know that that's actually going to happen," Vance told reporters Friday when asked about the Pentagon's plan to livestream Hasan's December execution by firing squad.
Vance then tried to move past the controversy surrounding the unprecedented broadcast, saying Hasan's crimes shouldn't be forgotten.
Elena Katherine Moore's died from complications of cardiac dysrhythmia and premature ventricular contractions ... the officials announced.
The Lexington County Coroner, Margaret Fisher, announced the cause and manner of the personal trainer's death during a press conference Friday. You may remember, Elena was found dead in June, about a week after she went missing.
Elena had a blood alcohol content of .089 during the autopsy -- though Fisher said it's unclear how body decomposition may have affected that number. She did not test positive for heart medication she was supposed to be using. Fisher said Elana was previously diagnosed with several mental health issues, including ADHD & anxiety.
A Tennessee judge has ordered evidence from Christa Pike's botched execution to be preserved ... as her attorneys fight over what happens next.
Pike's legal team was back in court Wednesday morning for a status conference tied to an emergency motion filed after the failed execution.
Her legal team also revealed Pike is still shackled and handcuffed to her hospital bed ... even though medical staff have asked for the restraints to be removed.
As we reported, Tennessee tried to put Pike to death last week, but she survived two doses of the lethal injection drug pentobarbital and was rushed from prison to a Nashville hospital.

Flynn was found guilty of murder in the death of his wife, Ashley Flynn ... and now it's time for the singer to face the music.
As we previously reported, the jury sided with the prosecution, who had argued that Caleb shot Ashley twice in the back of the head and staged the scene to look like a break-in.
