    VALLEJO, California (KPIX) — Police in Vallejo arrested a man on suspicion of murder on Tuesday after a woman reported missing over the weekend was found in the attic of a home.

On Sunday, officers reported that they received a missing person’s report for 28-year-old Renia Lewis, whose whereabouts were unknown. A missing person’s report was filed, and multiple Vallejo officers were assigned to search for her.

The investigation led them to a home on 14th Street the same day. Officers said they believed the woman may have been at the home before going missing.

A welfare check was conducted at the home, which included a cursory search of rooms, closets and potential hiding places, but there were no signs of the woman, police said.

On Monday, the California Highway Patrol granted a request by police to issue an Ebony Alert for Lewis and officers sought assistance from the FBI.

“The FBI was helpful in lending expert resources and investigative support to this case,” police said in a statement.

With new information, detectives executed a search warrant at the home on 14th Street on Tuesday. Police said the latest search revealed a concealed entry into the attic where the body of Lewis was found.

Officers said they obtained additional information that identified 41-year-old Douglas Irwin Shaw as the suspect in the woman’s death. Shaw was arrested at his workplace without incident.

According to the police statement, after his arrest, Shaw admitted he was responsible for the homicide. Police did not provide a possible motive or disclose Shaw’s connection to Lewis.

“This was a heartbreaking, senseless act of violence that has no place in our community. I am proud of our officers and detectives for making an arrest and solving this case. Above all, our thoughts are with the decedent’s family during this incredibly difficult time.” chief Jason Ta said.

The incident was the city’s 14th homicide this year.

Shaw was booked into the Solano County Jail on suspicion of homicide. Jail records show Shaw is being held without bail, with his next court appearance scheduled for Thursday.

Anyone with additional information about the case is asked to contact Detective Zach Horton at 707-648-5425 or Zach.Horton@cityofvallejo.net or Detective William Carpenter at 707-651-7146 or William.Carpenter@cityofvallejo.net. Anonymous tips can be sent by calling 800-488-9383.

14 months in prison for Columbia man who violated parole after sentence was commuted

Nia Hinson

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man whose sentence was commuted by former President Joe Biden but was later accused of violating his parole was sentenced to 14 months in prison on Wednesday

A judge ruled Malcolm Redmon, 42 go back to prison for a little more than a year after a hearing on Wednesday. He’ll have to serve four years of supervised release after that.

A judge claimed he had “concerns” over some of the issues Redmon had run into after being released.

Redmon was released from federal custody in July after having his sentence commuted, but was taken into custody by Columbia Police in August on allegations of a parole violation.

A judge ruled in August that he be detained until his next hearing.

Redmon was sentenced to 24 years in prison in 2016 after pleading guilty to being involved in a cocaine-selling ring in Mid-Missouri. He was one of nearly 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug charges to have their sentences commuted by Biden.

Prosecutors claimed in August that Redmon violated his parole by having alcohol at a halfway house and failing to tell his parole officer he was traveling more than 50 miles outside of Jackson County.

Prosecutors doubled down on that claim on Wednesday, stating Redmon was seen on tape with alcohol and was terminated from the RRC.

The prosecution asked the judge to revoke his release and sentence him to the 14 months in prison, emphasizing how quickly Redmon violated his parole after his release.

A judge also heard from Investigator Greg Wills, who claimed he did an interview with the man Redmon was allegedly seen giving alcohol to at the halfway house. Wills testified that the man told him Redmon gave him a soda, but that people did sometimes drink at the house, including himself.

The prosecution pushed back on his credibility, calling it “dubious” to have a soda in a brown paper bag, and noting that he had had been convicted of a felony in the past.

Redmon’s attorney asked the judge to sentence him to time served, claiming that her client had taken the necessary steps to rehabilitate, including getting a job and taking several courses. His attorney also noted the fact that Redmon had gotten an apartment.

She also stated that Redmon had not received a copy of his supervised released documents and claimed the state lacked sufficient evidence.

Redmon also briefly spoke to the judge and told him he was proud of himself for getting a job and was working toward the goal of receiving his commercial drivers license.

Redmon said he took full responsibility for the lack of communication he had with his parole officer, but pleaded with the judge, saying going back to prison would not allow him to change his narrative.

The judge ultimately said he agreed with the prosecution that having a soda in a brown bag was unbelievable. He also pushed back on Redmon’s attorney’s claims that Redmon wanted to stay in the Kansas City area, rather than in Columbia, noting that Columbia is the place he was arrested in.

The judge also said his concerns were that Redmon had run into “back-to-back hiccups” after being out of custody for a short period of time.

Some decomposing bodies found in funeral home need DNA for identification, CBI says

By Jennifer McRae

Click here for updates on this story

    PUEBLO, Colorado (KCNC) — Some of the decomposing bodies discovered inside Davis Mortuary in Pueblo had been there for more than a decade and now DNA must be used to help with the identification process. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation provided an update Wednesday morning on the investigation that began in August.

The CBI said that six of the 24 recovered bodies have been identified and their families have been notified.

“The remains so far have been in the area between 2010 and 2012 and right now, we’re under the impression, what we believe is all of the remains are probably going to be from that time period,” said Clint Thomason, assistant director for CBI investigations.

Thomason said that all records from Davis Mortuary are paper-based and that is slowing down the investigation because all reviews must be done manually.

The slow progress is nothing new with the investigation. Last month, the CBI said it could take months to identify the bodies that were removed from the Davis Mortuary in August.

On Wednesday, the CBI said it will continue the identification process of the remaining 18 bodies using dental records, fingerprints, and DNA analysis.

Investigators said some of the bodies are from people who died more than 15 years ago. Since state inspectors launched the investigation, they have found multiple bodies in “various stages of decomposition,” and have since revoked the business’s license.

The previous Pueblo County coroner, Brian Cotter, submitted his resignation with an effective date of Sept. 2. Cotter owns Davis Mortuary with his brother. The CBI said it has not questioned either Brian or Chris Cotter, and that both men have retained legal counsel.

Tenth Judicial District Attorney Kala Beauvais said her office plans to file criminal charges once the CBI investigation is complete, after all the remains have been identified, and asked for patience during the investigation.

Pueblo County Commissioners appointed Dr. Greg Grahek as the interim Pueblo County Coroner last month.

    MONROVIA, California (KABC) — Workers at an In-N-Out in Monrovia got a slithery surprise at the drive-thru.

An employee of the burger joint found a python on Monday and brought the snake to the Pasadena Humane Society.

The non-profit says the python seems to be well taken care of and may have recently escaped their home. It’s unclear if the snake is a male or female.

The snake is currently not up for adoption. Officials hope to find the owner soon.

Anyone with information about the snake is urged to contact the Pasadena Humane Society at (626) 792-7151, ext. 997.

Your Broncos first responders: The power couple beind Pueblo’s Broncos Firehouse

By Bradley Davis

Click here for updates on this story

    PUEBLO, Colorado (KRDO) — It’s more of a museum than a man cave, but with all the perks of the latter.

“It’s getting pretty filled up,” Broncos superfan Kevin Nunn said.

A big screen TV, a working locker room and a tricked-out Broncos golf cart that can hit 50 miles per hour. It’s the place to watch the Denver Broncos, and to admire the thousands of signed and one-of-a-kind Broncos memorabilia.

“Everyone says, ‘Are you done?’ You’re never done,” Kevin said.

Signed footballs, jerseys and playing cards. Game-worn gear, vintage orange crush player cans, and props from the stadium. Kevin and Sue Nunn work hard to fill their Broncos Firehouse with the unique.

“We don’t want stuff you can go to the store and buy. We want stuff that is authentic,” Kevin said.

“The older stuff’s fun,” Sue added.

The building used to be Pueblo Firehouse Engine 9 before the Nunn’s, both truckers, bought it from the city about 15 years ago for their semi trucks. They moved on from that idea after the purchase and set their sights on something a little more orange.

“What do we do with this building? What should we do with it? And then we decided, well, let’s just put all the Bronco stuff in there, take it out of the house, and bring it over here,” Kevin said.

If it were Disney telling Kevin and Sue’s story, they probably would have met at a Broncos game. Instead, the Broncos Firehouse didn’t get its start at Mile High, but on the side of the highway.

“Well, we actually met while I was a truck driver, and she was doing some deliveries, and I was walking home, and she picked me up,” Kevin said.

“Was your shared fandom something that you two bonded about when you first met, when she picked you up at the truck stop?” I asked the two.

“No, it was more about the trucks!” both said at the same time.

Their shared love for trucks quickly evolved into a family obsession with everything Broncos. They took KRDO13 around to do what they love most: share their collection with other fans.

Dog killed after attacking several people, owner now facing multiple charges

    LAMAR, Colorado (KRDO) — A dog was killed after an attack in Lamar that left multiple people injured and a neighbor’s dog dead, leading to several charges against the animal’s owner, according to the Lamar Police Department (LPD).

According to LPD, officers were sent to the 400 Block of Sharon Drive on Sept. 25 after receiving a call about a vicious animal attack. When they arrived, officers found out multiple people had been attacked and injured by a dog believed to be a Pit Bull mix.

Police say the Pit Bull belonged to a resident who lives in the neighborhood. The dog was observed leaving its owner’s property and attempting to attack another neighbor’s dog that was leashed on its own property.

The owner of that leashed dog was then also attacked by the Pit Bull, LPD said.

Two neighbors saw the attack and stepped in to help the owner. One of those people, identified as Michael Bannister, was able to stop the attack and kill the Pit Bull, the department said.

“The Lamar Police Department extends its appreciation and respect to Michael Bannister for his selfless actions in stopping the attack, putting himself in great risk and preventing any further attack which could have been tragic,” LPD said in a release.

Police said the injured residents, including Bannister, were given medical care and later released. In an update, the department shared that the dog that had been attacked had died from its injuries.

The Pit Bull’s owner, Josette Freyta, now faces multiple charges related to the attack, including unlawful ownership of a dangerous dog causing serious injury, running at large, failure to meet licensing and vaccination requirements, and failing to spay or neuter a pit bull.

“Let this incident serve as a reminder to everyone that it is important to appropriately restrain their dogs while outside, register them with the city (for free), and keep up to date on rabies vaccinations,” the department said in a social media post.
