Mother finds son in car with ex-Columbus charter teacher, leads to sexual battery charge
According to a police complaint report, the mother of a 15-year-old boy was unable to locate her son and noticed that his teacher's car was parked in front of her residence. Upon approaching the car, the mother told police she witnessed a woman, a teacher from Horizon Science Academy, jump off the lap of her son, who was seated on the front passenger side of the vehicle.

The boy told police that he had been having an inappropriate relationship with 28-year-old Jamelah Daboubi, his English teacher, and admitted that the two were kissing and touching each other while clothed in the car. The incident occurred during the school's spring break on April 2 at around 8 p.m.
The victim was taken to The Center for Family Safety and Healing where he participated in a forensic interview in which he relayed similar information that he told police. Police processed the boy's cell phone, where text messages were found between him and Daboubi that supported the alleged inappropriate relationship.
Daboubi was arrested Sunday and on Monday a Franklin County Municipal Court judge issued her a $15,000 bond. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for May 28.
A statement from the school said Daboubi was immediately placed on administrative leave and is now no longer employed at Horizon Science Academy and that it is fully cooperating with the investigation.

Fugitive ex-Olympian's alleged cocaine courier agrees to U.S. extradition
A Toronto-area man known to associates as the "Russian" – accused of conspiring to smuggle cocaine on behalf of a former Olympic snowboarder – has agreed to be extradited to the U.S. Rakhim Ibragimov appeared in a downtown Toronto court Tuesday morning, for what was scheduled to be an hours-long extradition hearing. Instead, Ibragimov's lawyer Harval Bassi told the judge his client was consenting to his surrender to the U.S. "That is correct," Ibragimov told Ontario Superior Court Justice Peter Bawden. The Uzbekistan-born Ibragimov, 48, faces conspiracy charges in Los Angeles, where he's expected to stand trial early next year alongside several other associates of Ryan Wedding. Wedding, who competed for Canada as a snowboarder at the 2002 Olympic Games in Utah, is listed as one of the FBI's 10 most-wanted fugitives. Born in Thunder Bay, Ont., he's suspected of living in Mexico, while leading a cartel-linked drug-trafficking organization tied to multiple murders. Kiran Gill, a lawyer representing the Attorney General of Canada told court Ibragimov had been identified as a "courier" for Wedding's network. According to U.S. investigators, Ibragimov was caught near L.A. in April 2024 as he loaded boxes filled with 375 kilograms of cocaine – apparently destined for Canada – into his rental car. Wedding's network is accused of using the area as a logistics hub for its $1-billion US cocaine and fentanyl smuggling operation. At the time, Ibragimov was detained and then allowed to return to Ontario. He was again arrested last fall, this time by Toronto police, as U.S. authorities moved in on more than a dozen of Wedding's alleged co-conspirators in Canada, the U.S, Mexico and a hoodie and a grey goatee in the prisoner box on Tuesday, Ibragimov smiled and waved at a woman in the public gallery. According to the U.S. indictment, his co-defendants referred to Ibragimov as the "Russian" in encrypted messages later intercepted by investigators. He acknowledged to the judge that by consenting to his surrender, he's waiving his right to a 30-day delay before extradition. "You're ready to go any time, correct, sir?" Bawden asked. "Yes," Ibragimov said. Ibragimov and several co-defendants are scheduled to stand trial next February in federal court in L.A. Ten Canadians are among those indicted, including an uncle and his nephew accused of co-ordinating drug shipments, a Toronto-based alleged hitman known as "Mr. Perfect," and Wedding's top lieutenant, Andrew Clark. Between them, Wedding and Clark are charged with orchestrating four murders in Ontario. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office told CBC News next year's trial is set to proceed even if Wedding – the lead defendant – is not captured by then. The RCMP has said the 43-year-old poses "one of the largest organized crime threats to Canada, even as a fugitive." The U.S. State Dept. is offering a $10-million US reward for information leading to Wedding's arrest.

What we know about the shooting at NFL headquarters
On Monday night at 6:28 p.m., 911 calls began pouring in from a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper, where a gunman had opened fire. The high-rise houses the NFL league headquarters and offices for several other prominent companies. Authorities believe the shooter was focused on the NFL when he entered the building and killed four people and injured a fifth, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday morning. The gunman then shot and killed himself. A note found in his wallet was critical of the NFL and mentioned CTE, the degenerative brain disease associated with repeated hits to the head. Advertisement Here's what we know about the situation: Shane Tamura of Las Vegas was identified as the shooter by New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch. Tamura, 27, was seen on surveillance footage exiting a black BMW shortly before 6:30 p.m. on Monday, carrying an assault rifle in his right hand. He wore sunglasses, a navy blazer and a blue dress shirt as he walked into the building at 345 Park Ave., between 51st and 52nd Streets. Tisch said law enforcement partners in Las Vegas shared that Tamura had a documented history of mental health issues, and he appeared to have driven across the country in his BMW, which is registered to him in Nevada. Tamura never played football in the NFL or in college, but he did play in high school in California, according to MaxPreps. He appeared on the roster for Granada Hills Charter in 2015, where his positions were listed as running back and defensive back. Walter Roby, Tamura's coach at Granada Hills, told Fox 11 that Tamura was a quiet, hard-working player. 'Could I have done more? Could I help the kid? Could I have reached out to him or could you reach out to me? It's just a lot of things I'm trying to process right now,' Roby said. According to The New York Times, Tamura left a three-page note in his wallet criticizing the NFL for concealing the dangers of playing football. Adams said Tuesday that the note referenced CTE, which can only be diagnosed through an autopsy. 'The motive appeared to be connected to the shooter's belief that he was suffering from CTE and (a claim that) he was an ex-NFL player,' Adams told CNN. 'Those items just don't pan out. He never played for the NFL.' In the excerpts of the note reported by The Times, Tamura mentions former NFL player Terry Long, who died by suicide in 2005. Long, an offensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1984 to 1991, was diagnosed with CTE after his death. Advertisement Tamura's note was found in his wallet after he fatally shot himself in the chest. Former NFL players Junior Seau and Dave Duerson also died after shooting themselves in the chest. Both were diagnosed with CTE after their deaths. Duerson's final note to his family finished with: 'Please, see that my brain is given to the NFL's brain bank.' In Tamura's letter, he wrote: 'Study my brain please. I'm sorry.' The NFL has offices on multiple floors in the high-rise building at 345 Park Ave. Other companies with offices in the building include Deutsche Bank, the financial firm KPMG and investment management firm Blackstone. The building is located blocks from Grand Central Terminal and St. Patrick's Cathedral in a heavily trafficked area of Midtown Manhattan. Once Tamura was inside the building, he shot four people on the ground floor, killing three of them, including a uniformed New York City police officer and a security guard. He then got on an elevator, allowing a woman to exit unharmed, and went to the 33rd floor, where he killed another person before shooting himself. Adams said investigators believe Tamura wanted to reach the NFL offices, but he took the wrong elevator. A high-ranking NFL employee told The Athletic's Dianna Russini that an employee in the league's finance department — identified in an NFL memo to team owners as Craig Clementi — was struck in the back by a bullet during the shooting. 'One of our employees was seriously injured in this attack,' Goodell said in a statement to NFL staff. 'He is currently in the hospital and in stable condition. NFL staff are at the hospital and we are supporting his family.' Police officer Didarul Islam, a three-year veteran of the NYPD and an immigrant from Bangladesh, was among the deceased, Adams shared. Blackstone said an executive, Wesley LePatner, was also among the victims. Another victim, security guard Aland Etienne, was identified by the union 32BJ.
