UC Berkeley professor's ex-wife, her boyfriend arrested for his murder: Reports
The ex-wife of a slain University of California, Berkeley, professor and four others have been arrested in connection with his death, according to multiple reports, citing Greek police sources. Four males, including one who is a minor, confessed to their involvement in the killing of Przemyslaw Jeziorski, 43, Greek police sources told CNN and ABC News. The sources said that the current boyfriend of the professor's ex-wife admitted to the murder, per CNN. Jeziorski's ex-wife is facing moral accomplice charges, the Greek police press office told CNN. Greek police announced the arrests of the five individuals in a news release on Thursday, July 17, saying three of them were accomplices and another was a local resident. Police added that the attacker approached Jeziorski and shot him in the chest and back, resulting in his fatal injury, before fleeing. Police did not name any of the suspects, including Jeziorski's ex-wife or her boyfriend, when contacted by USA TODAY on July 17. Jeziorski killed while going to visit children, brother says Jeziorski was shot and killed in Athens, Greece, on July 4 while heading to visit his two children, his brother Lukasz Jeziorski said in a statement on Facebook. Lukasz Jeziorski also commented on the recent development in a statement on July 17, in which he said five people, including his brother's ex-wife and her boyfriend, have now been arrested in connection with his brother's killing. Przemyslaw Jeziorski's ex-wife was allegedly "the orchestrator behind this heinous crime," and her boyfriend, "confessed to carrying out the shooting," Lukasz Jeziorski's statement says. Greek police said in the news release that they were able to identify the vehicle the shooter and his two accomplices were riding in during Jeziorski's murder by watching their movements before and during the killing. The two accomplices left the crime scene without the shooter, who went to the Nafplio area, police said. To avoid identification, the shooter even handed over his mobile phone and vehicle keys to his third accomplice, the department added. Przemyslaw Jeziorski death 43-year-old UC Berkeley professor killed in Greece, family says 'We want justice to be fully served' Lukasz Jeziorski said the arrests "bring us closer to justice." "Our family is heartbroken, but we are grateful to Greek police and security professionals that have identified and captured those accountable," the statement said. "We want justice to be fully served." Przemyslaw Jeziorski's two 10-year-old children are now in the care of Greek officials, Lukasz Jeziorski said. "Our primary concern is their safety and wellbeing, and helping them reconnect with their family to minimize the trauma they have already endured," the statement said. "As family members they know and trust, we ask for their privacy and respect during this difficult time as we focus on caring for these young children." Lukasz Jeziorski's statement also said his brother "loved his children and fought for them until the end." UC Berkeley professor remembered by colleagues Przemyslaw Jeziorski was an associate professor of marketing at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. Jenny Chatman, dean of UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, said in a statement that she is "heartbroken" by the news of Jeziorski's death. 'While authorities are investigating what happened, our focus is on supporting our community during this difficult period," Chatman said. "My heart goes out to Przemek's family and loved ones. We will miss him.' In tributes shared by UC Berkeley, Jeziorski was remembered by colleagues, students and friends. "He was an amazing person, friend, and colleague. He was a loving father of two young children and always there if someone needed help,' said Zsolt Katona, another marketing professor at UC Berkeley. Przemyslaw Jeziorski, who was known to colleagues and students as Przemek or PJ, was a Polish native. He held three master's degrees and a doctorate, according to UC Berkeley.

Ex-NFL player denies 'unruly' behavior after Delta flight diverted
A former NFL player is speaking out after a report said he was removed from a Delta Air Lines flight from Chicago that turned around for what the airline described as an unruly passenger. Delta flight 1902, which left Chicago O'Hare International Airport on Wednesday, July 16, bound for Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, returned after crew members "followed procedures to have an unruly passenger removed," Delta spokesperson Morgan Durrant told USA TODAY. Former NFL Pro Bowl defensive end Everson Griffen, who TMZ Sports identified as the passenger that was removed, posted an Instagram story saying: "I'm doing just fine. My behavior was not unruly at all. Why would they let me go.' The Delta spokesperson did not identify the passenger, nor elaborate on what the passenger allegedly did. USA TODAY has reached out to Griffen, 37, for more details. Delta: 'Zero tolerance for unruly behavior' According to flight tracking website Flight Aware, the Airbus A220 took off from Chicago at 11:15 a.m. local time and returned to the airport at 12:09 p.m. "Delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior and will always work with law enforcement to that end," Durrant said on July 17. "We apologize to our customers for the delay in their travel as safety and security comes before everything else at Delta." 'In-flight altercation': Flight to London diverts to Maine 4-time Pro Bowler Griffen made four Pro Bowls in the NFL, all with the Vikings, after spending his college career at the University of Southern California. Griffen took leave from the Vikings in 2018 to receive treatment for mental health issues, USA TODAY previously reported. He spent the first 10 seasons of his NFL career with the Vikings, then split time between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys in 2020 before signing a deal with Minnesota in 2021. In 2024, after being pulled over by a Minnesota State Trooper in Minneapolis on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, Griffen replied to a post on a Vikings' fan page on X, publicly announcing he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. "You will have hard times," Griffen wrote. "The most incredible thing you can do is to listen to people who love you the most." Natalie Neysa Alund is a senior reporter for USA TODAY.

Mayor Eric Adams sex assault lawsuit stalled as lawyers say Hurricane Sandy destroyed his NYPD personnel file
NEW YORK — Discovery in the civil sexual assault suit against Mayor Eric Adams has hit a snag as his lawyers say they can't produce his NYPD employment records because they were destroyed in Hurricane Sandy more than a decade ago. Adams' accuser, former city Transit Police administrative aide Lorna Beach-Mathura, has been seeking his NYPD personnel file as part of her Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit against him, filed in March 2024. The records, she has argued, will substantiate that she and Adams worked at the same police command in Brooklyn around the time she claims he sexually assaulted her in 1993, an accusation the mayor vehemently denies. But late this spring, Adams' Law Department attorneys sent Beach-Mathura's legal team a letter saying the mayor's employment file was destroyed. 'With the exception of a personnel assignment record … all physical personnel records and employment folders maintained for Defendant Adams were destroyed when the Kingsland Avenue warehouse suffered extensive damage from flooding during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012,' Maxwell Leighton, an assistant corporation counsel at the Law Department, wrote in the May 15 letter, which was made public on the court docket Thursday. The Kingsland Ave. warehouse is in Greenpoint, and news reports from 2012 confirm the facility suffered damage when the Newtown Creek flooded during the devastating hurricane, contaminating hundreds of 'drums' of police records. But Megan Goddard, Beach-Mathura's attorney, said she found it odd Adams' attorneys are only now providing this explanation. 'We were surprised to learn, only on May 15, 2025, and 11 months after we first requested them, that Defendants now claim Eric Adams's physical personnel file was destroyed during the 2012 flooding of the Kingsland Avenue warehouse,' she told the Daily News. 'This alleged loss was never mentioned in any prior response, letter, or conversation, not even when we specifically raised the issue in our original discovery requests or our deficiency letter,' Goddard continued. 'Eric Adams became mayor nearly four years ago, and we have to ask: when did the City actually learn that these records were allegedly destroyed?' Spokespeople for Adams and the Law Department didn't immediately return requests for comment. In a letter also released on the court docket Thursday, Beach-Mathura complained that Adams and the NYPD have engaged in 'willful obstruction' of discovery in her client's case, producing nearly no records in response to repeated requests. Beach-Mathura asked the court to schedule a discovery conference to address the matter. In her suit, Beach-Mathura, who's seeking at least $5 million in damages, alleges Adams tried to force her to perform oral sex on him in his car after he picked her up at the end of a shift to talk about a workplace issue. When she refused, she alleges Adams masturbated and ejaculated on her leg before dropping her off at a subway stop. Adams has strongly denied the accusations, saying he can't recall ever even meeting Beach-Mathura. Earlier this year, The News first reported that Beach-Mathura, who now lives in Florida, has filed for personal bankruptcy as she pursues the suit against the mayor. The suit also names the NYPD, the city and a police department fraternal organization Adams used to lead as defendants.
