Judge orders no bond for Miami Beach man accused of killing mom, dumping body
A Miami Beach man accused of killing his mother and placing her body in a dumpster was ordered held without bond Monday afternoon after a judge found probable cause to support a second-degree murder charge. Anthony Caruso, 40, appeared before Circuit Court Judge Mindy Glazer, who questioned the lead investigator about the evidence. "Detective, I have one question. Who do you believe killed the victim?" Glazer asked. "Mr. Caruso," Miami Beach Detective Brian Gonzalez responded. Gonzalez testified that police discovered a trail of blood leading from Caruso's apartment, across the hallway, and into the trash room. Blood was also found on his apartment door and around the trash chute, where investigators believe the victim's body was dragged. Records show Caruso was on probation at the time of the incident. He had been arrested three times last year on charges including aggravated assault, battery, battery on a law enforcement officer, and criminal mischief. Morning hearing postponed over missing report details Earlier in the day, Judge Glazer had delayed the hearing after reviewing Caruso's arrest report and finding that it lacked key information. "Am I missing something?" she asked the prosecutor. "Where does it say he killed his mother?" Caruso's attorney replied, "I agree, judge. There's nothing indicating that says he killed his mother." The prosecutor attempted to contact the arresting officers to clarify, but was unable to reach them. Glazer then ordered the hearing reset for later that day to determine whether probable cause existed. According to police, Elizabeth Caruso flew from New Jersey to Miami Beach on Saturday to check on her son, who has a history of mental health issues. That evening, her son-in-law called police after not hearing from her for six hours. Responding officers were dispatched to Caruso's Washington Avenue apartment. Blood was found on his front door and on the hallway floor, leading directly to the trash room across from his unit. "Officers opened the door to the trash room and saw blood on the walls and floor surrounding the trash chute," the arrest report states. On the first floor of the building, where the chute ends, the trash room was locked. Miami Beach Fire Rescue was called in to breach the door. Inside the dumpster, officers discovered Elizabeth Caruso's body. According to the medical examiner's report, she had suffered severe trauma, including injuries "nearly to the point of decapitation" and multiple fractures to her arms, hands, face, and head. When police attempted to contact Caruso at his apartment, he did not respond. A SWAT team and Hostage Negotiation Unit were deployed, and a search warrant was obtained. "When our officers tried to make contact with the subject, he barricaded himself," said Miami Beach police spokesperson Christopher Best. After several hours of failed negotiations, officers used a K9 and Taser to subdue Caruso, who was then treated at Mount Sinai Hospital for a bite wound to his arm. Following his release, Caruso was taken to the Miami Beach Police Department for questioning. According to the report, he invoked his right to remain silent and did not make a statement.

Bond hearing reset for Miami Beach man charged in mother's murder after judge notes missing details
A bond court hearing for a Miami Beach man charged in the murder of his mother, whose body was found in a dumpster at his apartment building over the weekend, was rescheduled after a judge noticed details missing from his arrest report. Anthony Caruso, who has been charged with second-degree, appeared Monday morning before Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Mindy Glazer. During the hearing, it was revealed that Caruso was out on probation for three other cases, details of which were not discussed. During a reading of his arrest report, Glazer noted that important details were missing. "Am I missing something?" she asked the prosecutor. Glazer then questioned the reasoning behind the charges, saying there was nothing in the arrest report that indicated he had killed his mother. "Where does it say he killed his mother?" she said. "I agree judge. There's nothing indicating that says he killed his mother," Caruso's attorney replied. The prosecution then tried to call in the officers behind the arrest but couldn't reach them. Glazer then reset the hearing for the afternoon session. "Reset it in the afternoon for a probable cause hearing to see if he is in fact the person who killed his mother," she said. According to police, Caruso's mother, Elizabeth Caruso, arrived in Miami Beach from New Jersey mid-day on Saturday to check on her son, Anthony, who they said has a history of mental health issues. That night, according to police, they received a call from her son-in-law who said he had been unable to reach her for six hours. Officers were then sent to Caruso's apartment building on Washington Avenue to conduct a welfare check. According to the arrest report, when they arrived they found blood on the front door of his apartment and a smear of blood on the hallway floor that led to the trash room directly across from it. "Officers opened the door to the trash room and saw blood on the walls and floor surrounding the trash chute. Officers went to the first floor of the building where the bottom of the trash chute was located," according to the report. The door was locked, so Miami Beach Fire Rescue was called to help breach it. When officers entered the room, they found Elizabeth Caruso's body inside the dumpster, according to the arrest report. Elizabeth Caruso's neck was severely injured "nearly to the point of decapitation" and sustained several bone fractures in her arms, hands, face and head, according to the medical examiner's findings noted in the report. When officers tried to make contact with Caruso at his apartment, no one came to the door, according to police. At this time, Miami Beach police SWAT and Hostage Negotiation Teams were deployed to the apartment building, and a search warrant was obtained, police said. "When our officers tried to make contact with the subject, he barricaded himself," Christopher Best, a public information officer with Miami Beach police, said. While serving the warrant, SWAT officers commanded Caruso several times to surrender to no avail and tried using several tactics to get him to comply. However, they were unsuccessful. After an eight-hour standoff, officers used a K9 and Taser to take him into custody, according to police. Caruso, whose right arm was injured by the K9, was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital for treatment. Caruso was then taken to the Miami Beach Police Department for questioning. There he invoked his rights and did not provide a statement, according to the arrest report.

The Macquarie ETF Trust Funds are distributed by Foreside Financial Services, LLC. Foreside Financial Services, LLC is not affiliated with any Macquarie entity, including Macquarie Asset Management and Delaware Distributors, L.P. The Macquarie Funds are distributed by Delaware Distributors, L.P., a registered broker/dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and an affiliate of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust (MIMBT). Macquarie ETF Trust exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are actively managed and do not seek to replicate a specific index. ETF shares are bought and sold through an exchange at the then current market price, not net asset value (NAV), and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV when traded on an exchange. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. There can be no guarantee that an active market for ETFs will develop or be maintained, or that the ETF's listing will continue or remain unchanged. The Funds are actively managed. The Manager applies a Fund's investment strategies and selects securities for the Fund in seeking to achieve the Fund's investment objective(s). There can be no guarantee that its decisions will produce the desired results, and securities selected by a Fund may not perform as well as the securities held by other exchange-traded funds with investment objectives that are similar to the investment objective(s) of the Fund. In general, investment decisions made by the Manager may not produce the anticipated returns, may cause a Fund's shares to lose value or may cause a Fund to perform less favorably than other exchange-traded funds with similar investment objectives. Investing in any exchange-traded fund involves the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest. Over time, the value of your investment in the Fund will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio. An investment in the Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. As with all ETFs, shares of the Fund may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The Fund's NAV is calculated at the end of each business day and fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings, while the trading price of the shares fluctuates continuously throughout trading hours on the Exchange, based on both the relative market supply of, and demand for, the shares and the underlying value of the Fund's holdings. As a result, although it is expected that the market price of the Fund's shares will approximate the Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of the Fund's shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. Nothing presented should be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell any security or follow any investment technique or strategy. The Fund's principal risks include but are not limited to the following: Market risk is the risk that all or a majority of the securities in a certain market - such as the stock or bond market - will decline in value because of factors such as adverse political or economic conditions, future expectations, investor confidence, or heavy institutional selling. Foreign and emerging markets risk is the risk that international investing (particularly in emerging markets) may be adversely affected by political instability; changes in currency exchange rates; inefficient markets and higher transaction costs; foreign economic conditions; the imposition of economic or trade sanctions; or inadequate or different regulatory and accounting standards. The risk associated with international investing will be greater in emerging markets than in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets may have less stable political and economic environments. In addition, there often is substantially less publicly available information about issuers and such information tends to be of a lesser quality. Economic markets and structures tend to be less mature and diverse and the securities markets may also be smaller, less liquid, and subject to greater price volatility. Company size risk is the risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines. Liquidity risk is the possibility that investments cannot be readily sold within seven calendar days at approximately the price at which a fund has valued them. Industry and sector risk is the risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or sector (such as the infrastructure industry) will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector. Government and regulatory risk is the risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect fund performance. Geographic focus risk is the risk that local political and economic conditions could adversely affect the performance of a fund investing a substantial amount of assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse events in any one country within the Asia-Pacific region may impact the other countries in the region or Asia as a whole. As a result, adverse events in the region will generally have a greater effect on the Fund than if the Fund were more geographically diversified, which could result in greater volatility in the Fund's net asset value and losses. Markets in the greater China region can experience significant volatility due to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. Limited number of securities risk is the possibility that a single security's increase or decrease in value may have a greater impact on a fund's value and total return because the fund may hold larger positions in fewer securities than other funds. In addition, a fund that holds a limited number of securities may be more volatile than those funds that hold a greater number of securities. Growth stocks reflect projections of future earnings and revenue. These prices may rise or fall dramatically depending on whether those projections are met. These companies' stock prices may be more volatile, particularly over the short term. A nondiversified fund has the flexibility to invest as much as 50% of its assets in as few as two issuers with no single issuer accounting for more than 25% of the fund. The remaining 50% of its assets must be diversified so that no more than 5% of its assets are invested in the securities of a single issuer. Because a nondiversified fund may invest its assets in fewer issuers, the value of its shares may increase or decrease more rapidly than if it were fully diversified.

MAM is an integrated asset manager across public and private markets offering a diverse range of capabilities, including real assets, real estate, credit, equities and multi-asset solutions.
