St. Paul police recover Suni Lee sculpture plaque, but bust still missing
Police in St. Paul are still looking for the thief who stole a sculpture meant to honor a hometown hero. Officials say someone stole the bronze bust of Olympic gymnast Suni Lee from Phalen Regional Park last week. On Monday, police confirmed they had pulled the granite plaque from a nearby lake. The artist behind the statue is Seexeng Lee, one of Suni Lee's family members. He says the theft happened on the two-year anniversary of the bust's unveiling. "What are the odds?" said Seexeng Lee. "Then when the photo got to me my jaw dropped. I'm like, no, can it be?" Seexeng Lee had worked in secret to surprise Suni Lee with the piece two years ago. He hoped the statue would spark pride in the east side community she came from. "I try so hard to to use art as a vehicle to capture that essence of community through Suni, and that's why it hurts when it's like no this piece is about Suni but it's not just about her it's about us," he said. Seexeng Lee has ideas for what could come next. But he's still holding out hope police will find the original. "I think all of us are still hoping for full recovery and nothing's damaged to it and we could put it back and make it better than before," he said. St. Paul police are asking if anyone saw something to give them a call. Note: The above video first aired on Aug. 1, 2025.

The Napa County District Attorney's Office said in a press release that the boy's mother, 42-year-old Belen Mare Shroyer, was charged with murder and child abuse, while father Timothy Daniel Schultz, 47, was charged with child abuse in connection with the death of 3-year-old Zayden Schultz. The two also face allegations that they willfully caused harm or injury resulting in Zayden's death; that the crimes exhibited violence, cruelty, viciousness or callousness; involved a vulnerable victim; that they were in a position of trust; that the crimes represent an escalation in criminal behavior; and that they have had prior poor performance on probation or parole, according to DA's Office. On August 15, 2024, Napa County Sheriff's deputies went to a home on the Mary C Drive, just east of Linda Vista Avenue and south of Redwood Road, in response to a report of a child who was not breathing. The child, who was under the care of his parents at the time, was pronounced dead at a hospital from fentanyl poisoning, the DA's Office said. Shroyer and Schultz were arraigned Monday afternoon in Napa County Superior Court and were ordered to return on Friday to enter a plea.
