Young son films as dad is fatally shot in road rage incident, Arizona cops say
A young boy filmed his father as he was fatally shot in a road rage incident in Arizona, police said. Dustin Jackson, 46, was arrested July 1 on charges of first-degree murder and drive-by-shooting in the death of the motorist, the Tempe Police Department said in a probable cause statement and Arizona's Family reported. The man killed was identified as Steven Bevan, 29, by multiple news outlets. Jackson told police he was driving behind Bevan, who was stopped at a green light, so he honked his horn, authorities said in court documents. He said Bevan didn't move until the light later turned green again, then both men drove through the light and got into different lanes, police said. Police confirmed from video surveillance footage that Bevan swerved in front of Jackson's truck and stopped, according to the documents. Bevan then got out of his vehicle and approached Jackson's GMC Sierra pickup truck, police said. Video footage from one of Bevan's young sons shows his dad throw his hands up, then put them back at his side as he approaches Jackson's truck, police said. Jackson opens his door and shoots him in the chest while his 6-year-old daughter was inside the truck, police said. Bevan was about 5 feet from Jackson's vehicle when he was shot, police said. Bevan was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 12:36 p.m. His two sons, aged 8 and 9, were in his vehicle and were later picked up by their mother, police said. Jackson told police he 'was in fear for his life and daughter's life,' according to the documents. Authorities said they conducted a search warrant on Bevan's vehicle and didn't find any weapons. Police also said there was a size difference between the two men. Jackson is 6 feet, 8 inches tall, and Bevan was 5 feet, 7 inches tall, authorities said. Jackson lives in Phoenix and is a Marine Corps veteran, police said. His bail was set at $1 million.

Speeding Laws Change for Millions in Florida: What To Know
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Floridians faced sweeping changes on July 1 as new legislation making "dangerous excessive speeding" a criminal offense in the state went into effect. House Bill 351, effective statewide, made it a criminal offense to drive more than 50 mph above the posted speed limit or to travel at 100 miles per hour or more in a manner threatening public safety. Newsweek contacted Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Highway Patrol for comment via email on Thursday. Florida's Legal Shift and Why It Matters Offenders face up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine, or both, for a first conviction, while a second violation within five years carry penalties of up to 90 days incarceration, a $1,000 fine, or both as well as a license suspension for between six months and one year if the violation occurs within five years of the first. The law also mandates court hearings for drivers caught at 50 miles per hour above the limit or more. Officers were also empowered to apply civil penalties for those at 30 mph over the legal limit. The crackdown aims to reduce traffic fatalities—speeding contributed to nearly 10 percent of fatal crashes statewide from 2019 to 2023, according to the Florida Department of Transportation. Jason Pizzo, an independent Florida state senator, said of the law: "You can't drive 50 miles an hour over the speed limit and not think that's not excessive and it's dangerous."

Joe Raedle/GETTY The new speeding penalties are part of more than 100 Florida laws that took effect this July. Dangerous dog ownership, cruelty to animals, and health requirements for student athletes were among other areas targeted for reform in Florida this summer. What People Are Saying Speaking to local network WJHG, Damani Brown Jackson, a Palm City resident, said he backs the new law. Jackson said: "I believe it is smart for Florida to have traffic laws; they need to start teaching more laws like this, they need to start taking the speed limit seriously, you know what I'm saying." Jackson added: "I'm going to be 100% more careful, I already know about it and have read about it, so I already have awareness of it, so yes, I'm going to be a lot more careful." Addressing News 13, Lt. Tara Crescenzi from the Florida Highway Patrol said: "We do feel like it's needed. We're seeing people that are traveling more than 100 miles per hour on the interstate, they're cutting through traffic, they're driving aggressively, they're tailgating and those are all very dangerous behaviors. "And really, this law is to educate as well. It's to keep the drivers safe, the ones that are even engaging in this dangerous behavior." Other New Car Laws Across the U.S. As of July 1 in Virginia, all adults must now wear seat belts in both front and back seats under the Christopher King Seat Belt Law, with violators subject to a $25 fine. Exemptions apply for health and occupational reasons. Virginia previously only required passengers in the front two seats and children to buckle up. As of July 1 in Texas, new vehicle buyers will receive metal plates at the point of sale rather than temporary paper tags, which authorities say addresses problems with fraud and toll violations. What Happens Next It remains to be seen whether similar laws will be introduced in other states.
