Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:17:39 GMT

(BCN) -- Oakland hit a grim milestone last week as the city passed 100 homicides recorded so far in 2023, according to the latest data from the Oakland Police Department.Between Oct. 9 and Sunday, six people were killed in Oakland, bringing the year-to-date total to 104. This makes 2023 the fourth consecutive year that the number of homicides in the city shot past 100, the Oakland Police Officers' Association said in a statement Monday. Five people charged for alleged retail theft at Walgreens last week By the same time last year, the city had already recorded 105 homicides. In 2021, there were 110 homicides by mid-October. The last year homicides in Oakland did not reach 100 was in 2019, when the city recorded a total of 78 killings, the police union noted"These statistics paint a stark picture of Oakland's public safety crisis, marked by a shortage of law enforcement personnel, the absence of a permanent police chief, and a mayoral administration that lacks a comprehensive publi...

19 suspects go on trial in Paris in deaths of 39 migrants who suffocated in a truck in 2019

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:17:39 GMT

PARIS (AP) — A trial opened in Paris on Tuesday of 19 people suspected of playing critical roles in a smuggling operation that went awry and sent 39 Vietnamese migrants to their deaths four years ago when they were locked inside a stifling hot truck trailer. Courts in Britain, where the truck was found on Oct. 23, 2019, and in Belgium, where the truck boarded an English Channel ferry, have already tried and convicted 23 people.Most of those facing justice in Paris are French helpers in a highly structured network who face charges including aiding the illegal entry into France of the migrants and criminal association. Four of the 19, all Vietnamese, are also charged with manslaughter. The defendants risk 10 years in prison.Among the 19 are taxi drivers, apartment landlords in the Paris suburbs who housed the migrants and organizers who considered the travelers “like chickens that you stack up,” according to the investigating magistrates’ file.“The arguments advanced by the Vietnamese...

General Motors delays electric pickup truck production at plant near Detroit as US EV demand slows

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:17:39 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors will delay electric pickup truck production at a factory near Detroit due to slowing U.S. demand for electric vehicles, to better manage its capital investments, and to make some engineering changes.The company said in a statement Tuesday that the factory in Orion Township, Michigan, will instead start making electric Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups in late 2025. Originally the company had planned to start production sometime next year.GM spokesman Kevin Kelly said the change has nothing to do with the ongoing four-week partial strike by members of the United Auto Workers union. “What’s happening in the marketplace does play a factor,” said Kelly, who added that the company wants to make engineering changes that will improve the trucks’ profitability.About 1,000 workers at the Orion plant will keep building the Chevrolet Bolt hatchback small electric car and Bolt electric utility vehicle through the end of this year as planned, th...
