LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas police charged a 28-year-old school teacher in the killing of a married couple who were hiking with their children at Devil's Den State Park, finding him in a nearby city after a five-day search and public pleas for trailgoers to look through their photos.
State Police arrested Andrew James McGann at a barbershop in Springdale, said Col. Stacie Rhoads, commander of the department's criminal investigation division. He was charged with two counts of capital murder and was being held Thursday in the state's Washington County jail.

Man, 32, charged in fatal shooting at Royal Oak apartment complex

A 32-year-old man is accused of fatally shooting a maintenance worker at an apartment complex in Royal Oak, Michigan, police said Sunday. Officers responded to Thursday's shooting on the 3800 block of Crooks Road around noon. Officials saw the suspected shooter, later identified as Nathaniel Joshua-Olson Rockwell, and took him into custody shortly after arriving, according to police. Responding law enforcement then found that a maintenance worker, identified by police as 65-year-old Gregory Hill of Southfield, Michigan, had been shot. Hill died at the scene. Multiple witnesses told officers that Rockwell was in a heated argument with a resident of the apartment when Rockwell "suddenly ran to his car" and pulled out a handgun, according to police. The resident then ran away, and Rockwell turned his attention to Hill, who was in the vicinity of the argument. Police said in a news release on Sunday that Rockwell is charged with one count of first-degree murder, three counts of felony firearm and two counts of felonious assault with a dangerous weapon. "This was a senseless act of horrific violence," Chief Michael Moore said in the release. "We extend our deepest condolences to the victim's family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Thankfully, due to the swift actions of our officers, the suspect was apprehended quickly before he could harm anyone else." Note: The above video first aired on July 31, 2025.

A 62-year-old man was struck and killed by two vehicles while crossing Interstate 225, Aurora police say. The collisions happened around 11:15 p.m. on Saturday, just south of East Iliff Avenue. Police say the man, who hasn't been identified, crossed the interstate from east to west, "in heavy traffic," when one vehicle struck him and a second ran him over. At least one of the drivers called 911, and both remained at the scene and are cooperating with the investigation, according to police. Investigators don't believe either driver was speeding or intoxicated. The man was taken to a hospital but died from his injuries.
