The Associated Press is facing criticism for leaving out important details in their initial write up of the case of a 12-year-old girl being assaulted and killed allegedly by two Venezuelans who illegally crossed into the United States recently.
Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, are accused of luring Jocelyn Nungaray, of Houston, Texas, under a bridge, holding her there for two hours, taking her pants off, tying her up, and then throwing her body in a bayou after killing her.

Private Equity is Coming to College Sports
Private equity investments are coming to college sports – it’s only a matter of time. The Big 12 is reportedly considering a deal with Luxembourg-based private equity firm CVC Capital Partners, which would see a 15%-20% stake in the league sell for up to $1 Billion.
This isn’t the first time private equity has been floated in the college sports world. In 2018 the Pac-12 tried to secure a private equity investment, but nothing came of the effort. If the Big 12 were to make a move in the private equity space, it would be the first of its kind.

- “Everything we have is going to go to Ukraine until their needs are met,” Biden said. “And then we will make good on the commitments we made to other countries.”
- The number of interceptors to be sent isn't clear but Kirby said it could involve “hundreds” of Patriot interceptor missiles.
- Kirby said the move means “a range of countries” will face delays in receiving missile systems that are being diverted to Ukraine but that the shift would not affect Taiwan or what it “continues to need and receive for self-defense" in the face of potential threats from China...
