Sheriff: Nearly a dozen gang members tied to multiple shootings arrested in Baton Rouge drug bust, 1 at-large
The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office (EBRSO) says during April and May 2025, its Gang Intelligence and Enforcement Unit started an extensive investigation into a criminal street gang known as the 'Vultures.'
According to EBRSO, members of the 'Vultures' are suspected of being responsible for numerous shootings in and around the Baton Rouge area.

Agents identified several members and several associates of the group, collecting hundreds of hours of surveillance on the gang. Authorities then determined that the gang was involved in a large-scale marijuana distribution operation.
While under investigation, members of the gang were involved in a police chase in Texas. During the chase, the sheriff's office says the gang members threw a pistol that had a machine gun conversion device, called a 'switch,' out of the window. Other gang members were able to retrieve the gun but were stopped and arrested once they arrived back in Baton Rouge. Four members were arrested in connection with the incident and later released on bond.
Deputies identified 11 residences that the gang used to facilitate their marijuana trafficking operation. Agents secured search warrants for the locations, as well as several banks used by the gang to hide their money.
On June 2, 2025, with help from multiple divisions and agencies, agents executed warrants at the following locations:
3rd Street
Hammond Manor Drive
Apartment Court
Joor Road
68th Avenue
Stoneview Avenue
73rd Avenue (P&P Compliance Check)
Pasadena Drive (P&P Compliance Check)
Grand Settlement Boulevard
Lockhaven Avenue
La Margie Avenue
In addition, Louisiana Probation and Parole performed compliance checks at two gang member residences.
The following items, including drugs, guns, and cash, were seized, and several arrests were made as a result of the multi-agency investigation:
36.14 pounds of marijuana
78 dosage units of Tramadol
32 dosage units of amphetamine
15 dosage units of Lorazepam
1 dosage unit of Alprazolam

5 things to know before the Tuesday open: Palantir earnings Trump applauds American Eagle
Investors who might have had anxiety checking their holdings over the weekend got a nice reprieve on Monday. Stocks rallied to start the new week, with the S&P 500 snapping its four-day losing streak and the Dow Jones Industrial Average erasing its Friday sell-off. All three major indexes ended Monday's session more than 1% higher. Stock futures are slightly higher on Tuesday morning. Follow live market updates here. Tariff news continues to make headlines as market participants count down to Thursday — the most recent deadline set by the White House for it to start collecting tariffs from some trading partners. President Donald Trump said Monday that he would "substantially" hike tariffs on goods coming from India because the country buys Russian oil. The European Union also announced Monday that it would delay enacting planned tariffs on the U.S. for six months. Trump will join CNBC's "Squawk Box" for an interview at 8 a.m. ET Tuesday morning. Stream CNBC live here. Palantir, the buzzy and mysterious defense technology stock, recorded quarterly revenue of $1 billion for the first time. It's an important milestone for the company, which has seen its shares skyrocket and become a favorite of retailer investors given its futuristic focus and eccentric CEO, Alex Karp. As CNBC's Samantha Subin notes, the Denver-based company has become a beneficiary of Trump's governmental cost-cutting initiatives, with its U.S. government revenues jumping 53% year-over-year. Palantir shares popped in extended trading following its earnings report. This week, OpenAI's ChatGPT products are poised to reach 700 million weekly active users. There's a few ways to show just how much that number has ballooned with artificial intelligence's move into the mainstream. First, it's up about 40% from March alone. Even more eye-popping, the number has grown more than fourfold from a year ago. ChatGPT's number of paid business users is also accelerating, up to five million from three million in June. After getting caught in controversy over its new advertising campaign starring actress Sydney Sweeney, American Eagle got a vote of confidence from the White House on Monday. Trump called the campaign the "'HOTTEST' ad out there" in a social media post. He also said that Sweeney, who's known for roles in "Euphoria" and "The White Lotus," is a registered Republican. American Eagle's shares surged more than 23% following the president's post, marking the Pittsburgh-based company's best day in about a quarter of a century. —

Asia markets set to open mixed after Trump vows to significantly raise tariffs on India
Bombay Gate Gateway of India, Mumbai Arutthaphon Poolsawasd | Moment | Getty Images Asia-Pacific markets are expected to open mixed after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to raise tariffs on Indian exports to the country significantly. "India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits," Trump wrote on social media platform Truth Social. "They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA," he continued. Happy Tuesday from Singapore. Asia markets are poised for a mixed open. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was set to start the day higher with futures tied to the benchmark at 8,701, compared with its last close of 8,663.70. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 was set to open higher, with the futures contract in Osaka last traded at 40,610 against the index's last close of 40,290.70. However, futures for Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index stood at 24,708 pointing to a weaker open compared with the HSI's last close of 24,733.45. — Lee Ying Shan All the three major averages soared into the green on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average recouping its losses from Friday's session. The blue-chip index climbed 585.06 points, or 1.34%, to finish the day at 44,173.64. Additionally, the broad market S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rocketed higher by 1.47% and 1.95%, ending at 6,329.94 and 21,053.58, respectively. — Sean Conlon

Stock market today: Dow jumps 580 points, S&P 500, Nasdaq have best day since May as Wall Street bounces back
US stocks rebounded sharply Monday, recovering from last week's sell-off sparked by disappointing labor data and continuing trade uncertainty. The benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) climbed 1.5%, while the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose 1.3%, or nearly 600 points. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) led the gains, rising about 1.9%. Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) jumped 3%, while Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) also rose to close at all-time highs. The moves followed a sharp pullback on Wall Street on Friday. All three major indexes posted their worst weekly declines in months, ending a run of positive market moves. The declines were exacerbated Friday after July's jobs report came in weaker than expected, and previous months' tallies were revised sharply lower, flipping the narrative on the labor market's strength. It led President Trump to lash out at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which publishes the monthly jobs report, and fire its commissioner. Trump suggested he would nominate a new head for the agency in the coming days. Trump's battle with the Fed and Chair Jerome Powell has also remained in focus. Traders tempered expectations around interest rate policy following the bank's decision last week to leave rates unchanged for a fifth consecutive meeting. But after the weak jobs data, almost 90% of bets are on a cut in September. At the same time, investors are examining the fallout from Trump's implementation of tariffs. The updated tariffs set to come into full effect this week range from 10% to 41% on a wide range of trading partners and raise concerns about rising costs amid broader inflationary pressures. On Monday, Trump said he would be "substantially raising" tariffs on India as he presses to stop purchasing Russian oil, effectively accusing the nation of subsidizing Russia's war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Tesla (TSLA) stock edged higher after reports emerged that the company had granted CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares worth about $29 billion.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) rose almost 1.9%. The moves follow a sharp pullback on Wall Street on Friday when all three major indexes posted their worst weekly declines in months.

"While we remain constructive on the current crypto cycle, we expect a choppy 3Q alongside weak August/September seasonality and waning retail interest in crypto treasury stocks," Compass Point analyst Ed Engel wrote on Sunday night. "As such, we see limited support for COIN's valuation if crypto markets sell off further," he noted. Read more here.

Palantir (PLTR) stock rose 2%. On Friday, the company announced it snagged a contract with the US Army that combines over 75 agreements into one package deal worth $10 billion over the next decade. The software and AI data company will report earnings after the bell on Monday.

The pay package is designed to boost Musk's voting power over time, which shareholders say is key to keeping him focused on the company and its mission, the special committee said in the filing. Joby (JOBY) shares climbed 5% premarket after the electric air taxi developer said it would acquire Blade Air Mobility's helicopter rideshare business for as much as $125 million.

"Further, over the next three to five years, [Wayfair] should outgrow the category given the longer-term shift toward online retailing and its advantaged assortment/ supply chain as the largest scaled online specialty player in the industry."

Goldman with a sobering view on the consumer Goldman Sachs out this morning with a subdued outlook on the US consumer following Friday's lackluster jobs report. Good read on the consumer from the WSJ today, mirrors what Procter & Gamble's (PG) CEO told me on earnings day. Goldman's chief economist Jan Hatzius: "We expect the weakness in consumer spending to continue in the second half of the year and forecast 0.8% real spending growth in 2025H2. Our view is underpinned by the expectation of a sharp slowdown in real income growth from its elevated pace in 2025H1. Income growth will be hit in Q3 by the phasing out of the one-off 2025H1 government transfer payments and in Q4 by the Medicaid and SNAP benefit cuts included in the new fiscal bill, which will take effect in 2025Q4 and affect lower-income households in particular. We also see higher tariff-driven inflation to impose a drag on real income growth in the second half of the year. Finally, we expect weak job growth due to lower immigration, cuts in government and healthcare hiring, and a tariff-related decline in activity. We expect declines in both business and residential investment in the second half of the year." Swiss stocks decline on US tariffs, push for lower drug prices Swiss stocks took a hit on Monday as the market reopened after a holiday.

Goldman with a sobering view on the consumer Goldman Sachs out this morning with a subdued outlook on the US consumer following Friday's lackluster jobs report. Good read on the consumer from the WSJ today, mirrors what Procter & Gamble's (PG) CEO told me on earnings day. Goldman's chief economist Jan Hatzius: "We expect the weakness in consumer spending to continue in the second half of the year and forecast 0.8% real spending growth in 2025H2. Our view is underpinned by the expectation of a sharp slowdown in real income growth from its elevated pace in 2025H1. Income growth will be hit in Q3 by the phasing out of the one-off 2025H1 government transfer payments and in Q4 by the Medicaid and SNAP benefit cuts included in the new fiscal bill, which will take effect in 2025Q4 and affect lower-income households in particular. We also see higher tariff-driven inflation to impose a drag on real income growth in the second half of the year. Finally, we expect weak job growth due to lower immigration, cuts in government and healthcare hiring, and a tariff-related decline in activity. We expect declines in both business and residential investment in the second half of the year."
