New Mexico man accused of shooting at Odessan
According to an Odessa Police Department report, officers were dispatched to a Kent Kwik around 7:30 p.m. Sunday about a shooting. When they arrived, the owner of a Ford Mustang said he'd been driving on East 42nd Street when a Dodge Ram pickup truck began following him closely and nearly hit him.
The Mustang owner said when he turned onto northbound Grandview Avenue, the Dodge Ram cut him off, forcing him to change lanes in order to avoid being hit, the report stated.
The Mustang owner said he rolled down his window to ask the other driver what was going on.
The police report redacted what the other driver said in response, but the Mustang owner said the man began reaching around inside his vehicle and he feared he was reaching for a gun.
According to the report, the Mustang owner turned around on Grandview to head southbound and then hear a large noise on the driver's side of his car. He pulled over and found a bullet hole in his car.
Other witnesses confirmed the Mustang owner's story and the fact the truck had New Mexico plates, the report stated. A FLOCK camera identified the license plates belonging to the pickup and then traced the pickup to Raymundo Daniel Lewis.
A warrant was issued and Lewis was booked into the jail hours later on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was released after posting a $15,000 surety bond.

Ex-American Airlines flight attendant sentenced to 18 years in prison for filming young girls using bathroom on Boston flight
The five girls Thompson secretly recorded were 6, 9, 11, and two were 14, court documents show. Advertisement In this photo provided by the law firm Lewis & Llewellyn LLP, an iPhone is taped to the back of a toilet seat on an American Airlines flight from Charlotte, N.C., to Boston, on Sept. 2, 2023. Uncredited/Associated Press 'He robbed five young girls of their innocence and belief in the goodness of the world and the people they would encounter in it, instead leaving them with fear, mistrust, insecurity and sadness,' Leah B. Foley, the US attorney for the District of Massachusetts, wrote in the memo. In March, under the terms of a plea agreement, Thompson pleaded guilty in federal court in Boston to charges of attempted sexual exploitation of children and possession of child pornography depicting a prepubescent minor. Prosecutors sought a 20-year prison sentence while Thompson's lawyer, Scott Lauer, requested 15 years, court records show. Although Thompson's conduct was 'serious and disturbing,' it was 'purely voyeuristic,' Lauer wrote in a sentencing memo, noting that Thompson had never before been in trouble with the law. Advertisement 'Mr. Thompson's conduct took place at a time in his life when he was isolated, struggling with depression and excessive alcohol use,' Lauer wrote. Thompson has 'come to view this arrest as a much-needed intervention and opportunity to address the corrosive behaviors which resulted in his offenses,' Lauer's memo said. 'Now sober and with a better appreciation of the need for sex offender specific treatment, Mr. Thompson intends to avail himself of necessary rehabilitative services to the fullest extent possible.' According to prosecutors, Thompson had worked for American Airlines for more than a decade when he attempted to record the 14-year-old girl on Sept. 2, 2023. The girl was waiting for a bathroom in the main cabin when Thompson told her she could use the first-class bathroom and escorted her to the front of the plane. He told her the toilet seat was broken. The girl noticed red stickers on the underside of the toilet seat lid that read 'INOPERATIVE CATERING EQUIPMENT' with 'SEAT BROKEN' handwritten on one of the stickers. It wasn't until after she flushed that she noticed an iPhone with its flashlight on under the stickers, court documents said. The girl took photos of the phone and told her parents, who told the crew. Her father confronted Thompson, who locked himself in the bathroom with his phone and restored the device to factory settings, wiping it clean, documents said. When investigators searched Thompson's iCloud account, they found evidence of the four other incidents. They also found 50 images of a child who flew as an unaccompanied minor on a flight in July 2023. 'The joy and innocence that once lit her face have been replaced by distance and caution,' one of the girl's parents said in an impact statement. Advertisement 'She didn't just lose her innocence that day — she lost her sense of the world," the parent said. According to court documents, the parent of another one of the girls said, 'no child, especially during their formative years, should be burdened with such a horrific truth. The innocence she once had has been stolen.' At Thompson's sentencing hearing Wednesday, US District Court Judge Julia E. Kobick said his behavior was 'appalling.' She sentenced Thompson to 222 months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release. Kobick also ordered Thompson to undergo substance abuse and sex offender treatment programs. Thompson apologized in court, according to the Associated Press. He said his actions were 'selfish, perverse, and wrong.' Tonya Alanez can be reached at

Chinese exports of two critical minerals plunge even as rare earths rebound
By Lewis Jackson BEIJING (Reuters) -China's exports of two critical minerals used in weapons, telecommunications and solar cells have plunged over the past three months amid a crackdown on smuggling and transshipment that has involved China's top spy agency. Exports of antimony and germanium in June were down 88% and 95%, respectively, versus January, according to customs data published on Sunday. Much as with rare earths, China is by far the largest miner and or refiner for both elements. Both were added to an export control list in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Exports to the U.S. were then banned in December as part of retaliation for chip restrictions. Rare earths were added to the same control list in April, precipitating a sharp collapse in export volumes that forced some carmakers in Europe and the U.S. to pause some production lines. But where rare earth export volumes rebounded sharply last month thanks to a deal struck between Washington and Beijing, exports of germanium and antimony fell to some of the lowest levels on record. The collapse in export volumes coincides with well-publicised crackdown on critical mineral export control evasion. China's spy agency said last week it had detected attempts to bypass controls via transshipment, where cargoes move through a third country before going on to their final destination. The week before Reuters reported that unusually large quantities of antimony were being exported to the United States from Thailand and Mexico in what appeared to be transshipment conducted by at least one Chinese company. China's exports of antimony to Thailand have collapsed by 90% after hitting a record in April. There have been no exports to Mexico since April. Spot market prices for high-purity germanium have more than doubled since China imposed export restrictions in July 2023. Antimony prices have nearly quadrupled from May last year.
