North Texas man who shot roommate while high on mushrooms sent to federal prison
A Seagoville man who in 2022 shot his roommate dead while high on hallucinogenic mushrooms has been sentenced to over five years in federal prison, North Texas federal attorneys said. Russell Alan Ragsdale, 25, was initially arrested in February 2022 on felony murder charges, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office in North Texas. At that time, he told police that his roommate attacked him and that he shot the other man 'many times' in self defense. Police recovered three firearms and two grams of hallucinogenic mushrooms from Ragsdale's home during their investigation, federal attorneys said. Analysis of Ragsdale's phone showed a history of drug use dating back to 2021 and evidence that he had bought and used mushrooms on the day of his roommate's murder. Ragsdale pled guilty in April to possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of a controlled substance, according to the statement.

R50k reward for info on gunman who targeted Cape Town school, asking for cop's child
Police have launched a manhunt for a gunman who entered a Cape Town school, looking for the child of a police officer. The man was armed when he approached the school. However, the child had already been fetched from school. Police in the Western Cape are offering a R50 000 reward to anyone with information that can lead to the arrest of a gunman who entered a Cape Town school, looking for the child of a police officer. It's alleged that the unknown man was armed when he walked into the school in Bellville on 20 June at about 15:00. According to police spokesperson Warrant Officer Joseph Swartbooi, the man approached the aftercare teacher and asked about the whereabouts of a pupil, who happens to be the child of a police member. However, the pupil had already left school. Although the man did not appear to be armed, CCTV footage later showed him placing his hand on a firearm tucked into his clothes as he ran from the school after failing to find the child. 'It is imperative that the person be traced and brought in for questioning,' Swartbooi said. After a month-long investigation, detectives attached to the Western Cape Provincial Serious and Violent Crimes Unit have turned to the public for assistance. They want information that will lead to the detention and conviction of the man. Police have offered a R50 000 cash reward for information on the whereabouts of the person of interest. The investigating officer, Detective Constable Mawande Mqhwayi, can be contacted on 073 734 2611 or alternatively, use the mobile application MySAPS anonymously.
