Who Is

The grounds of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. became the site of a tragic incident in May 2025, when a gunman shot and killed two Israeli Embassy workers outside the building.

Police have since identified the suspect as Elias Rodriguez, who was arrested at the scene of the crime and has remained in custody ever since.

We're going to take a look at the background of the accused murderer and see how he's facing serious charges for his alleged actions.

A LinkedIn page apparently belonging to Rodriguez was found shortly after the shooting, and he was listed as a Profiles Administration Specialist for the American Osteopathic Information Association.

The suspect also served as an Oral History Researcher for the History Makers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the oral histories of the African American community.

An archived version of the organization's official website showed Rodriguez had been involved with the nonprofit since 2023, and also listed him as born and raised in Chicago.

He reportedly holds a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Illinois at Chicago and worked as a content writer in the tech industry.

Rodriguez was involved with various political causes prior to the shooting, and he took part in a demonstration in front of former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home in the city in 2017, according to the New York Times.

The accused murderer affiliated himself with the left-wing political organization Party for Socialism and Liberation, although the group has since distanced itself from Rodriguez and condemned his alleged actions.

The group posted a message on its X account claiming the murder suspect "had a brief association with one branch of the PSL that ended in 2017" and knew "of no contact with him in over 7 years."

Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling stated Rodriguez had no criminal background at the time of the shooting.

Rodriguez was initially mistaken as a victim of the shooting, and several bystanders thought he needed aid when he entered the museum following the attack, according to the Associated Press.

However, an FBI affidavit indicated the suspected shooter allegedly stated he "did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza" when asked about the event.

Rodriguez reportedly then pulled out a red keffiyeh -- a patterned scarf worn by various communities in the Middle East -- after police arrived at the scene of the attack.

The accused murderer was seen yelling "Free Palestine" as he was being arrested following the shooting.

Several sources claimed the Justice Department is seeking to indict Rodriguez on federal hate crime charges, according to CNN.

One source indicated the indictment is likely to include special findings for capital punishment, allowing the Department to seek the death penalty.

The grand jury has reportedly heard several weeks of testimony from various witnesses of the incident, as well as acquaintances and family members of Rodriguez.

The Ohio State University -- better known as THE Ohio State University -- is getting a serious boost of talent for its 2025-2026 season with cornerback Devin Sanchez.

The athlete made waves for his prowess on the gridiron over the course of his high school career, and he's been open about his enthusiasm for his career with the Buckeyes.

We're going to check out what the football player's done to make a name for himself and see how he's feeling about his first collegiate season.

Sanchez attracted attention for his work on the field over the course of his high school career, during which he helped take North Shore High School in Texas to state semifinal and championship game appearances, according to 247 Sports.

The athlete recorded an impressive 32 tackles, as well as five interceptions, over the course of his junior season, according to ESPN.

Sanchez's work on the field earned him plenty of accolades, and he was placed on 247 Sports' 2025 Freak List.

Oh, and in case his football career wasn't impressive enough, he was involved with his high school's track and field program, where he ran in the 100, 200, and 400-meter dash events.

Sanchez's skills on the field made him a top college prospect, and he received offers from numerous institutions, including Louisiana State University, the University of Alabama and Arizona State University.

The athlete revealed he'd made the decision to commit early to Ohio State University in January 2024 at the All-American Bowl, according to Bleacher Report.

Although Sanchez had plans to visit both Alabama and LSU, he cancelled the trips ... saying he felt Ohio State was "the only team showing true love."

He also claimed Ohio State "felt like home" after taking a trip to the institution in 2024, which greatly influenced his decision to commit to the school.

Sanchez enrolled in classes in January 2025, and he took part in spring drills, according to Ohio State University's official website.

He's also been open about his plans to succeed on the field, and told ESPN he was "going to do whatever [I have] to do to get that starting spot and keep it."

Sanchez then claimed he didn't "really like to lose" and was excited about playing for Ohio State, as he felt they were "going to lose no more than two games."

The prospects for the Oregon Ducks' 2025 season became much more interesting in July 2024, when 5-star prospect Dakorien Moore officially committed to playing for the team.

The thing is, the wide receiver's plans to attend the storied institution almost didn't come to fruition, as he committed to another college before making a hard left turn and pledging to head to the West Coast.

We're going to check out how the athlete committed to -- then decommitted from -- one school before finding his ideal football program.

Moore attended Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas, and he debuted on its varsity football squad as a freshman, according to 247Sports.

He remained with the institution for the length of his high school career, and he helped lead Duncanville to a 14-1 record at the end of his senior year.

Moore finished out his final high school season, during which Duncanville made it to the Texas 6A D-I state semifinals with 204 catches and 4,113 yards.

Oh, and the athlete was also involved with his high school's track and field program, and he competed in several events, including the 100-meter dash and the long jump.

Moore's athletic accomplishments garnered him plenty of attention from various schools and universities, and he received his first offer from the University of Kansas in 2020.

Several other institutions -- including the University of Southern California, Michigan State and Purdue University -- extended offers to the athlete while he was still in high school.

Moore appeared to have his path set in August 2023, when he committed to play for Louisiana State University, according to ESPN.

The athlete explained, as he was "real big on communication and building relationships," he felt LSU had done the best job of establishing a connection with him ... which led to his decision to commit to the institution.

The thing is, Moore changed his mind in May 2024, when he decided to decommit to LSU in a shocking career move.

The athlete issued a statement on his X account at the time to let his fans know about the decision, and he expressed he would "always hold love for the entire LSU family" in his message.

Moore waited for two months before announcing he'd decided to commit to the University of Oregon in July 2024, according to ESPN.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani shocked his fan base when he announced he had gotten married in February 2024 ... although he didn't reveal any details about his spouse at the time.

Fans didn't have to wait too long to figure out who the lucky lady was, as a photo showing him standing next to his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, was shared on social media the following month.

Here's a look at the background of the athlete's wife to see how she's built a family with the pitcher and designated hitter.

Tanaka's got a history in sports, as she formerly played basketball at the professional level for several years.

The retired athlete began her sports career in her early years, and she was a member of Waseda University's collegiate team in Shinjuku, Japan.

She later joined the Fujitsu Red Wave, which is affiliated with the Women’s Japan Basketball League, and she competed as a power forward.

Tanaka remained with the Fujitsu Red Wave for four years, and she retired from professional sports in 2023.

Ohtani's personal life became the subject of intense attention from his fans when he revealed he had gotten married in an Instagram post in February 2024.

While he didn't name Tanaka at the time, he wrote he'd tied the knot with "someone from my Native country," whom he described as "very special to me."

The baseball star added he was "excited" about the prospect of married life, and thanked his fans for their support.

And his fans got their first glimpse of Tanaka the following month, when the Dodgers posted a photo of the happy couple prepping to jet off to Seoul, South Korea on the team's official X account.

The happy couple kept the big reveals coming, as Ohtani announced his wife was pregnant in an Instagram post in December 2024.

The baseball star's photo showed his dog, Decoy, lying next to a pink onesie, baby shoes, and what appeared to be a photo of an ultrasound ... and he wrote a short message to let his fans know he was getting ready to welcome a "little rookie" into his life.

Tanaka gave birth to a baby girl in April 2025, and Ohtani shared another Instagram post to let his fans know his child was "healthy" and "beautiful."

The sports world's seen plenty of great athletes come out of the University of Texas over the years, but the institution's only had a select few dual threats throughout its history. Dual threats can refer to an athlete who excels at two aspects of the game, like running and passing -- or in Jonah Williams' case, a player who dominates in two separate sports.

The Longhorns just debuted the team's newest dual-threat athlete, who's garnered much attention for his work on the diamond and gridiron.

We're going to take a look at the college athlete's background and see how he's already become notable within the University of Texas fanbase.

Williams -- who graduated early from Ball High School in his hometown of Galveston, Texas -- committed to play football for the University of Texas in August 2024, according to ESPN.

The athlete had been courted by institutions like USC, the University of Oregon, and LSU before deciding to remain in his home state.

It was reported Williams was planning on splitting his time between the school's baseball and football programs ... in addition to pursuing a degree in sports management.

The dual-threat told ESPN he'd settled on the University of Texas because of the opportunities "with life after football" he'd be able to achieve through his affiliation with the school.

Upon enrolling at the University of Texas, Williams was faced with balancing his interests in both football and baseball, as well as managing the expectations of both of his coaches, football coach Steve Sarkisian and baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle.

As baseball season came first for Williams, Sarkisian encouraged the athlete to head to the diamond first ... and Schlossnagle, who heads the squad, told Longhorns Wire the football coach was "super supportive" of the athlete's participation on the team.

Sarkisian apparently told the dual-threat to spend time with the football squad when he was able, while focusing on building a profile for himself on the baseball team.

Jonah's already made an impression with the institution's football personnel as well, and the school's defensive coordinator, Pete Kwiatkowski -- who Williams will play under as a defensive back -- declared he "couldn't be happier" to work with the athlete.

Although Williams has earned himself a fair amount of press for his two-sport ambitions, he garnered criticism for his on-field actions during a baseball game against the University of Florida in May 2025, according to Longhorns Wire.

The Longhorns were down 8-1 at the bottom of the 7th inning when the athlete stepped up to bat, and his animated reactions to every pitch were widely criticized across social media.

Williams was eventually walked, although he chose to toss his bat to the side and nodded his head as he made his way toward first base -- where he exchanged words with the first baseman, and the two players had to be separated.

There's plenty of freshmen out there getting fans excited for the coming college football season, and Jahkeem Stewart's way up there on that list.

The defensive lineman landed his fair share of achievements over the course of his high school career -- which ended up being much shorter than anyone expected!

We're going to take a look into the college athlete's background and see what he's got planned for his future in football.

Stewart was born and raised in Reserve, Louisiana, located roughly 30 miles north of New Orleans, and began playing football early on in his life.

The athlete grew to 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighed 340 pounds when he was in 6th grade, according to ESPN ... that's also when he began working with trainer Clyde Alexander.

Stewart's trainer stepped in when the football player's family home was destroyed by Hurricane Ida in 2021, and he allowed the student athlete to move in with him. He dropped 60 pounds right away, ESPN reports. He now stands 6-foot-6 and weighs around 270 pounds.

The athlete enrolled at St. Augustine High School in 2022 ... although the institution's transfer rules kept him from playing varsity-level football as a freshman.

Stewart was ruled eligible to play for St. Augustine his sophomore year, and he racked up 85 tackles and 20 sacks.

He ended up transferring out of St. Augustine to Edna Karr High School in an effort to make him eligible to play at the collegiate level at a faster rate, after St. Augustine denied his request to reclassify him to the 2025 class. After he was reclassifed he became eligible for the early college-football signing period.

Stewart didn't appear too beat up by the switch, and told ESPN the skills he learned at his first high school "helped me become a way better man than I was going in there."

He later spoke about the success of his high school football career, stating "every time I stepped on the field -- it was havoc."

Stewart, a top recruit during his time in high school, received numerous offers to play at various institutions, including LSU, Ohio State, and the University of Oregon.

The defensive lineman eventually accepted an offer from the University of Southern California, where he's set to join their defensive line.

Stewart's not the only 5-star recruit who pledged to the institution, as he'll be joined by quarterback Husan Longstreet.

The small town of Anaconda, Montana, was rocked to its core on August 1, 2025, when a gunman entered The Owl Bar and opened fire, killing several people.

Local authorities have since identified the suspect as Michael Paul Brown, who fled the scene of the crime and is believed to be hiding from the law.

We're going to take a look into the background of the suspected gunman and see what authorities have done in the wake of the shooting.

Brown, who lived next door to The Owl Bar, where he was apparently a regular, served in the U.S. Army for several years, and he departed the armed forces with the rank of sergeant in 2009, according to NBC News.

The murder suspect served as an armor crewman from 2001 to 2005, was deployed to Iraq for just over a year, leaving in March 2005, and he was part of the Montana National Guard from April 2006 until March 2009.

Montana bar owner Shane Charles said Brown had dealt with post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as "mental health problems," and described the veteran as "a great guy when he was on his meds."

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said the murder suspect has a criminal record.

Authorities allege Brown entered The Owl Bar at around 10:30 AM Mountain Time and opened fire with a rifle, then fled the scene in a white pickup truck.

Three patrons and a bartender, ranging in age from 59 to 74, were shot and killed ... Knudsen said the suspect "likely" knew the victims of the attack.

Brown then allegedly got rid of his clothing and other belongings before getting new clothing from a stolen vehicle that contained camping equipment.

Local authorities later released a photo showing the suspect apparently leaving the scene of the incident, dressed only in a pair of boxers, taken before he switched vehicles.

Authorities later located the vehicle Brown ... and Knudsen expressed he was "very likely up in the mountains, hiding in the timber, in the cover somewhere."

Several agencies are searching for the suspect, and a $7,500 reward has been offered by the U.S Marshals Service for any information that could lead to his arrest, according to USA Today.

Residents of Anaconda and surrounding communities were initially advised to stay inside and remain on alert, according to The Associated Press.

Brittney Griner's been through plenty of ups and downs over the course of her professional and personal lives, and her wife Cherelle's been there for many of the athlete's hills and valleys.

The WNBA star and her spouse met during their college days, although they didn't start dating until after graduation ... and their married life was disrupted when the basketball player was unexpectedly detained on the other side of the world.

We're going to take a look at the background of the professional athlete's spouse ... and see how she dealt with her wife's ordeal.

Cherelle started studying law at North Carolina Central University School of Law in Durham in 2019, according to People.

The WNBA star's spouse remained at the institution for three years before she graduated with honors in 2022.

Brittney revealed her wife had officially become a lawyer the following April by sharing a set of photos on her Instagram account, and expressed she was "abundantly proud" of Cherelle in the caption.

The professional basketball player wrote about the "hard work, determination, and passion" her spouse put into her degree.

The Griners' love story runs deep and way, way, back, as they first met while they were both attending Baylor University in the early 2010s.

The thing is, Cherelle wasn't Brittney's first spouse ... the WNBA star had been briefly married to fellow professional basketball player Glory Johnson, and although Brittney filed for an annulment after just 28 days of marriage, their divorce wasn't finalized until 2016.

Griner and Baylor University alum Cherelle eventually reconnected, and they got engaged in August 2018, tying the knot the following June.

Cherelle and Brittney later started a family with the birth of their son Bash, who arrived in July 2024.

Brittney made global headlines in March 2022 -- she had been detained in Moscow by Russian authorities the previous month after vape cartridges containing cannabis oil were found in her luggage during a trip to play ball in Russia.

The professional athlete later pleaded guilty to bringing less than a gram of cannabis oil into the country ... and although she claimed she'd done so unintentionally, she was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Cherelle expressed she was "hopeless" at times while her spouse was detained, in an interview with People -- although she later said she never had to "completely give up hope" about her wife's situation.

Caitlin Clark's earned herself plenty of supporters over the course of her career in collegiate and professional basketball -- and it looks like her boyfriend Connor McCaffery's one of her biggest fans!

The WNBA star and the assistant coach have been together ever since 2023 ... although he'd already made a name for himself in the sports world.

We're going to check out the background of the former college athlete and see what the Indiana Fever's point guard has had to say about her relationship.

Clark's not the only one with experience on the court, as her boyfriend formerly played guard for the University of Iowa team.

The former college athlete picked up several distinctions for his work on and off the court, and he was a five-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, according to Hawkeye Sports.

And it turns out basketball runs in McCaffery's family, because his father Fran worked as a coach for much of his life.

The senior McCaffery coached at the University of Iowa for 15 years ... and he switched over to working at his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, in 2025.

McCaffery graduated from the University of Iowa in 2023, and he subsequently started his professional career as a team assistant for the Indiana Pacers ... and just in case you forgot, Clark plays for the Indiana Fever.

McCaffery remained with the team for one season before he began following in his father's footsteps, taking on an assistant coaching position at Butler University in September 2024.

Butler's head coach, Thad Matta, issued a statement at the time to speak about hiring McCaffery, and expressed he was "excited for the impact" the new assistant coach would have on the school's team, according to Fox News.

Clark shared her reaction to her boyfriend's new venture on her Instagram Story, writing she was "so happy" for her partner.

Clark and McCaffery went Instagram official with their relationship in August 2023, when she posted a photo featuring the assistant coach on her account, according to Us Weekly.

The assistant coach posted on his own Instagram Story after his girlfriend became the leading scorer in the NCAA women's basketball history the following April, writing he was "so proud" of his partner's achievement.

Clark celebrated McCaffery's birthday in July 2024 with photos of him on her Instagram, and she quipped he might finally be able to "find a way to outshoot me" in her post's caption.

Travis Hunter's earned himself plenty of achievements over the years ... and we think he's counting his marriage to Leanna Lenee as one of them!

The social media personality started off as a friend of the Heisman Trophy-winning athlete before she became his girlfriend and eventually transitioned into the role of his wife -- all within a few years.

We're going to take a look at the background of the football player's partner ... and see how her reaction to one of her husband's biggest accolades made waves across the internet.

Lenee revealed she was just 19 years old when she first met Travis in a video she shared on her TikTok account in 2024.

The social media personality, who holds a degree from Georgia's Kennesaw State University, became Hunter's girlfriend in February 2022 ... although she confessed she'd initially turned down his advances in a video shared on their shared YouTube account.

The athlete and his partner became engaged two years later, and she commemorated the occasion by sharing a set of photos on her Instagram account that February.

Hunter and Lenee eventually made things official between them at a wedding ceremony in Tennessee in May 2025.

The thing is, Lenee hasn't always been viewed favorably by many of Hunter's fans, and she received criticism after a video showing coach Deion Sanders reportedly telling her to stand up after her now-husband won the Heisman Trophy went viral on X in December 2024.

The social media figure garnered even further online heat after a second video showing her apparently being rude to her partner while taking photos with his fans surfaced on social media.

Hunter came to his then-fiancée's defense while streaming on Twitch that same month, according to People, and he claimed she'd cried herself to sleep after drinking what he described as an "odee amount" of alcohol.

He then said Lenee hadn't done anything wrong when he was with his fans, and asserted she was spending time with his family while he took photos with the event's attendees.

The social media figure shared a video apparently shot around the period when she was receiving criticism from Hunter's fans on her TikTok account in July 2025.

In the clip, Lenee is seen sobbing and apparently talking to an off-screen figure, although her original audio had been replaced.

She also wrote a lengthy message in her post's caption and expressed she wished she "could go back and hug December me," whom she didn't "recognize."

Breanna Stewart's had a whirlwind career in the WNBA ... and her love story with her wife Marta Xargay Casademont has been just as crazy!

While the pair took their time in the early stages of their relationship, they got engaged, got married, and started a family all within a year -- how's that for moving fast?!

We're going to take a look at how the athletes' respective careers in sports led to them wanting to spend the rest of their lives -- off court, of course -- with each other.

Marta, who's originally from Spain, is a retired former professional basketball player -- how's that for a common interest?!

The athlete's been involved with various teams in her home country, and she earned a silver medal as part of the 2016 Spanish Olympic women's basketball team.

Marta was drafted into the WNBA in 2015, and she spent a single season with the Phoenix Mercury, where she played guard.

She eventually announced her retirement from the sport in 2020 in a post on her Instagram account, writing she would "always treasure the memories that I created" in her professional career.

Marta and Breanna initially met when the latter joined the Dynamo Kursk, a Russian professional basketball team, in 2018, although they weren't close at first, according to People.

The WNBA star claimed she was "nervous to do anything" with her now-wife at first, and the Spanish athlete expressed her spouse "didn't want to mess it up" when they were initially getting to know each other.

The pair's connection grew closer when Breanna ruptured her Achilles tendon and had to recover at home in the United States.

They eventually decided to make things official, and the power forward popped the big question on a hike outside of Phoenix, Arizona, in May 2021.

Stewart and Marta tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony at their home in July 2021.

And they didn't exactly wait long to start a family either, because they welcomed daughter Ruby that August!

Stewart spoke to People shortly after her child's arrival, and described motherhood as "bigger than anything else that I've done."

Mel Owens has been in the media plenty of times over his life, which has seen him go from being a professional football player to a sports lawyer -- before signing on as the second "Golden Bachelor" on the popular television show.

The thing is, the sports figure landed himself in hot water in 2025, when he told producers he wasn't looking to date anyone over the age of 60 ... which caused a stir within Bachelor Nation.

We're going to check out what the television figure's done to make a name for himself prior to his appearance on the hit ABC series ... and see what he's said about his past comments.

Owens began his athletic career at the University of Michigan, where he served as one of the institution's linebackers for several years before ending his college career in 1980.

Mel brought his talents as a linebacker to the Los Angeles Rams, and he joined the team in 1981.

The professional athlete spent the entirety of his football career with the team, retiring from the NFL in 1989.

Following his stint with the Rams, Owens became a lawyer focusing on sports-related injuries and incidents ... he married and had two sons with a woman named Fabiana Owens in 2002, according to Us Weekly, and divorced his wife in 2020.

Owens' designation as the second Golden Bachelor was revealed to Bachelor Nation fans in April 2025.

The former professional football player will be following the first Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner -- who married and quickly divorced his own season's winner, Theresa Nist.

Jesse Palmer, who hosts "The Bachelor" and its various spinoffs, described Owens as a perfect candidate for the program in an interview with Us Weekly, where he said the former athlete had been through "hills and valleys in his personal life."

Palmer went on to describe Owens as a "great lead" and stated the lawyer "really wants to find a special person" through his involvement with the program.

The thing is, Owens upset much of Bachelor Nation when he was asked his dating preferences by show producers, answering he only wanted women within the 45-60 age range to appear on his season of "The Golden Bachelor," according to an interview for the "In The Trenches" podcast.

Mel stated he'd told producers he wanted all the women "to be fit" and asked them to stay away from "artificial hips and the wigs."

Owens later told Glamour he'd spoken to a friend about his comments regarding the age of the show's contestants, and claimed he didn't realize they'd "hit that hard" in their conversation, after which he wanted to publicly apologize for what he'd said.

WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu's had plenty of great moments over the course of her career in the league -- and we think her 2024 wedding counts as one of them!

The New York Liberty's point guard tied the knot with Hroniss Grasu in Laguna Beach, California ... and a few figures with ties to the NBA were at the party, too!

We're going to take a look into the background of the basketball player's husband and see what led the two all the way to the altar.

Grasu's been a football player ever since his youth, and he joined the roster of the University of Oregon -- which Ionescu also attended -- in 2010.

Grasu was part of the squad that won the Rose Bowl twice, and he went on to become a third-round pick by the Chicago Bears in the 2015 NFL Draft.

The professional football player spent a total of seven seasons in the NFL as a center, and he played for several teams, including the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.

Grasu was most recently with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he was traded in 2021 and remained until 2023.

Ionescu and Grasu let their fans know about their relationship in 2021, when they went Instagram official as a couple.

The pair dated for two more years until the professional football player got down on one knee and proposed to the athlete, which she documented on her Instagram account.

The point guard later shared a video on her TikTok account, telling her fans she was "completely shocked and caught off guard" by her partner's proposal.

Ionescu then added Grasu had "played it off so well" prior to popping the big question, and recalled she "couldn’t stop taking pictures with my ring" in the hours following the proposal.

The athletes made things official between them at their wedding ceremony, which was attended by Dallas Wings forward Satou Sabally, Vanessa Bryant, and former NBA power forward and center Pau Gasol, according to ESPN.

Ionescu made several comments about her wedding in an interview with People, and described the event as "the highlight" of her offseason.

The athlete and her husband, both of whom are of Romanian heritage, had "25 to 30" of their extended family members flown to America for the special occasion.

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes has made a career of striking out batters left and right -- but it looks like he hit a home run with his girlfriend, Livvy Dunne!

The athlete and the influencer have been together for a few years now, and they've become pretty comfortable showing their affection in public ... like when he tied her lace-up heel right before the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

We're going to check out what the social media figure was up to before she met the pro athlete ... and see what brought them together.

Dunne's been a gymnast for several years, and she was formerly a member of the U.S. Junior National Gymnastics Team.

She later joined Louisiana State University's gymnastics team in 2020, and she helped her teammates earn the 2024 NCAA Women's Gymnastics National Championship title.

Dunne's popularity can partially be attributed to the NCAA's Name, Image and Likeness rule, which was implemented in 2021 and lets college athletes participate in sponsorships and make endorsements.

The former college athlete really caught the wave at the right time -- and she's raked in a cool $4.1 million through her collaborations with various companies, according to On3.

Dunne began her career as an influencer after the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and earned herself several million followers on TikTok before she'd even started college.

Although she was initially faced with "learning curves" and "had to learn on my own how to navigate" her social media fame, according to ESPN, she evidently figured out a solid rhythm, because she was featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 and TIME100 Creators lists.

The influencer has since linked up with content creator platform Passes -- in what was described as a "multi-million-dollar deal," according to Sports Illustrated -- which allows her to create exclusive content for fans.

Oh yeah, and she was featured as one of the cover models for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue ... after being included in the annual publication in both 2023 and 2024, of course.

Dunne and Skenes met while they were both attending LSU, and her fans began speculating about the state of their relationship after she was spotted wearing a jersey with his name on it in a video shared on her TikTok account in 2023.

The happy couple went public with their relationship that August, and they've been spotted on plenty of red carpets -- and cute dates, naturally -- ever since then.

The influencer opened up about her romance with Skenes in an interview with People, where she expressed neither she nor her boyfriend would "restrict each other from doing things" in their respective professional lives.

WNBA star Napheesa Collier's made plenty of strides on the court as the Minnesota Lynx's power forward ... and a large part of her success story involves her husband, Alex Bazzell.

The basketball player and her spouse have been together for several years, and their personal connection's carried over to their professional lives as well.

We're going to check out how the athlete and her partner started a family together ... and how they're working on creating a lasting legacy within the sports world.

Bazzell and Collier's love story goes way, way back, because he met the athlete during her senior year of high school, according to People.

The sports industry figure and the athlete evidently stayed in touch afterward, because he acted as her trainer when she was a student athlete at the University of Connecticut.

The pair began dating when she was a junior in college, and Bazzell popped the big question in October 2019.

You know that old rhyme, first comes love, then comes marriage? That doesn't really apply in this case ... because the couple welcomed their daughter Mila in May 2022 before they tied the knot that October.

Remember how we said Bazzell trained Collier when she was in college? Turns out, she's not the only person he's trained over the years -- do the names Carmelo Anthony or Kyrie Irving ring any bells?

The sports executive was associated with Kobe Bryant, as well as his daughter Gianna -- who he trained -- and he told People the Los Angeles Lakers star was "the biggest mentor I've had."

Bazzell said the late athlete showed him how to remove the "pressure" for his daughter to follow in the footsteps of her parents and pursue an athletic career.

Oh, and he's spent a little bit of time on the court as well, as he briefly played professional basketball in Germany, according to his LinkedIn.

On top of their personal connection, Bazzell and Collier are professionally involved, as they've both worked on the development of the Unrivaled women's basketball league.

Collier co-founded the league alongside fellow WNBA star Breanna Stewart, and Unrivaled serves as a venue for professional female basketball players to play the sport in the offseason.

Bazzell, who serves as the league's president, provided a statement to CNBC Sport, saying the league would "fill a gap in the calendar" for numerous athletes, and described Unrivaled as "extending the runway of professional basketball."

Residents of Arkansas were left reeling after reports emerged about the brutal murders of a married couple who were hiking with their young children at Devil's Den State Park in July 2025.

Within days, the state police force apprehended and arrested suspect Andrew James McGann, who has been charged with two counts of murder.

We're going to take a look into the background of the accused murderer and see what led up to the chilling incident.

The 28-year-old McGann was formerly a resident of Oklahoma, and he'd moved to Springdale, Arkansas in the months prior to the incident, according to the Associated Press.

The murder suspect had active teaching licenses in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas ... and he was set to begin working for the Springdale Public Schools district for the 2025-2026 school year, according to USA Today.

McGann was placed on administrative leave from the Donald Elementary School in Flower Mound, Texas, in the spring of 2023, after "concerns related to classroom management, professional judgment, and student favoritism" were raised.

He resigned from his position in Texas in May 2023, and he subsequently taught within a small district in Oklahoma from the summer of 2024 until May 2025.

The victims of the brutal attack -- 43-year-old Clinton David Brink and 41-year-old Cristen Amanda Brink -- were found dead on a walking trail at Devil's Den State Park on July 26.

The pair was hiking with their two daughters when the attack occurred in broad daylight, and officials stated Clinton was the first to be stabbed, followed by Cristen, who was stabbed after getting the two kids -- ages 7 and 9 -- to safety.

The pair's children weren't hurt in the attack, and they're currently in the care of family members.

A composite sketch of the suspect was released after the incident occurred, and tips about the identity of the murder suspect reportedly came in from across the country.

Arkansas State Police said they arrested McGann at a barbershop in Springdale on the afternoon of July 30, according to Today.

He's since been charged with two counts of capital murder.

Arkansas State Police Major Stacie Rhoads said investigators were "still exploring and determining exactly what that motive" for the attack was.
