An El Paso woman is seeking legal damages as well as mental health support after she woke up in the middle of the night to blood dripping from her ceiling and splattered throughout her room.
Ana Cardenas, 58, awoke around 4 a.m. on May 8 after she felt something dripping on her body. She assumed it was raining outside and thought a leak had sprung from the apartment above hers.
But when Cardenas turned her light on to investigate, to her horror, her entire bedroom was sprayed with blood and she had blood on her bed as well as on her body.
Cardenas had left the fan on in her bedroom and as the blood seeped from the apartment above hers, the fan sprayed her entire bedroom with blood, ruining her mattress, clothes and furniture.
Cardenas called 911 and the stench became so unbearable, she ran out of her apartment and waited for police to arrive outside.
Guillermo Terrazas, Cardenas’ older brother, drove from Arizona to help his sister and told FOX TV Stations that she is traumatized.
"It was so ugly and awful. She thought she was in a bad dream but it was real," Terrazas said.
Once police arrived at Cardenas’ apartment, they went to the apartment above hers to investigate what was causing the leak, but when officers knocked on the door, no one answered.
Police resorted to breaking down the door and unfortunately found the tenant of the apartment deceased inside. His decomposing body was lying right above Cardenas’ bedroom, Terrazas said.
"He had been dead for several days," Terrazas said, according to police. "His fluids leaked through the floor and through her ceiling."
HOUSTON (AP) — Charles Oliveira claimed the UFC lightweight title Saturday night, stopping Michael Chandler with a barrage of punches early in the second round at UFC 262.
Oliveira (31-8) earned his ninth consecutive victory in dramatic fashion, finishing Chandler (22-6) with a series of precise strikes to claim the belt vacated by Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement.
After both fighters traded big shots in a back-and-forth opening round, Oliveira abruptly dropped Chandler with a left hook in the opening seconds of the second round. The Brazilian veteran pursued Chandler around the perimeter of the cage before dropping Chandler again with a left hook and finishing with punches on the ground just 19 seconds into the round.
Charles Oliveira completely ignores what happened in round1 and scores a round 2 Knock out new UFC light weight champ #UFC262
“I told you I was going to knock him out, and I came and knocked him out,” Oliveira said through a translator. “I’m proving to everybody I’m the lion of lions.”
Oliveira appeared to be in serious trouble in the first round from Chandler’s relentless attacks, but he recovered and then finished in spectacular fashion. Oliveira, who has stopped eight of his nine opponents during his winning streak, ran across the mat and hurdled the cage to celebrate his first title belt after 11 years in the UFC and his record 17th UFC finish.
“Michael, you’re a great champion,” said Oliveira, who already held the UFC record with 14 victories by submission. “But today is my day.”
Oliveira is the UFC’s first new undisputed lightweight champion in over three years. Nurmagomedov held the belt from April 2018 until this year, when UFC President Dana White finally accepted the unbeaten Russian star’s decision to retire in the prime of his career late last year.
A mid-career renaissance led Oliveira to a title fight, while Chandler got his shot only eight months after signing with the UFC following a decade in Bellator, where he won the 155-pound title three times. Chandler’s UFC debut was an impressive stoppage of Dan Hooker in January, and the promotion fast-tracked him to a title shot.
“You can never get too aggressive,” said Chandler, who vowed after the bout to become the UFC lightweight champion before he retires. “Aggressive is my style. Aggressive is me. You just zig when you should have zagged, and Charles Oliveira is getting the belt wrapped around his waist instead of you.”
Oliveira showed off his ever-improving striking game alongside his already formidable jiu-jitsu skills in a career-capping performance. Oliveira joined the UFC as a 20-year-old prospect and went through several down stretches when the promotion appeared to overmatch him against veteran opposition, but the now-31-year-old lightweight has added formidable striking to his skills as arguably the top submission artist in the promotion.
The UFC packed the Toyota Center for its second pay-per-view event in front of a full crowd since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
In the penultimate bout at UFC 262, former interim lightweight champ Tony Ferguson took his third straight defeat, losing every round on every scorecard to Beneil Dariush.
Ferguson (25-5) had an eight-year, 12-fight winning streak that ended last May. He couldn’t figure out a strategy on the ground or on his feet against Dariush (21-4-1), who has won seven straight bouts.
Dariush nearly finished Ferguson with a heel hook in the second round, but Ferguson improbably kicked his way out of it. Dariush still controlled the bout until the final bell, and he basked in cascades of boos from the Ferguson-supporting crowd.
“I wanted to get wild so bad,” Dariush said. “I felt better in my speed, I felt better in my power, and I was just like, ‘Let’s get wild.’ But then I remembered I want to be a champion. I’m not trying to be a bonus fighter. Actually, it was the fans that helped. They were yelling his name. I was like, you know what? It’s all noise. I just need to do my job. I just stuck to the game plan.”
On the undercard, André Muniz finished fellow Brazilian veteran Ronaldo “Jacaré” Souza in the first round, and he appeared to break Souza’s arm in the submission hold when Souza refused to tap out. Muniz’s victory was his fifth straight since joining the UFC, while the 41-year-old Souza has lost four straight.
Graphic video has surfaced that purportedly shows Lil Reese bleeding on the ground -- this after he was allegedly involved in a car jacking of some sort that ended in gunshots.
The footage of a man that appears to be Reese (and bleeding from his head profusely) is making the rounds online ... and it shows him being accused of stealing someone's car, and then being tracked down and beat up/shot over it. We aren't posting it here, but it's easy enough to find.
There's another man who appears in the video, who is also accused of partaking in the alleged car theft ... but he denies involvement in any such crime. The people in the video call Reese out by name as police and other first-responders attend to him and his injuries.
On the police side of things ... Chicago PD has yet to name the victims, but they do say that of the three people who were shot, two of them suffered superficial gunshot wounds -- a 20-year-old in the knee, and a 28-year-old grazed in the eye -- and are listed as being in fair to good condition. The third victim -- a 27-year-old -- was shot multiple times in the body and is said to be in critical condition. The cops tell us no one is in custody at this time, and that their detectives are further investigating the incident.
Like we said, Reese is 28 ... so he appears to be one of the two who's gonna make it.
JUST IN: Lil Reese Has Survived The Shooting Earlier Today In The River North Neighborhood Of Chicago, He’s Now In Stable Condition!
Rapper Lil Reese was reportedly shot, along with two other men during a gunfight at a parking garage on Chicago's north side Saturday, May 15.
Details are sketchy, but Fox 32 Chicago reports they were "all shooting at each other" about 9:50 a.m. in the first block of West Grand Avenue, according to preliminary information from Chicago police.
Reese, 28, born Tavares Taylor and the other two victims, ages 20 and a 27, were taken to local hospitals, reports CWB Chicago.
Two were taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition, while the other is in serious condition at Stroger Hospital.
Reese's condition is not currently known.
This is the second time the rapper has been shot in less than two years. In November 2019, he was critically injured after being shot in the neck while in his car at an intersection in Chicago.

San Diego police said they have launched an internal investigation after two of their officers were recorded on video repeatedly punching a man during an arrest this week.
The witness who recorded the incident Wednesday said she recognized the man being hit in the head and legs as a "harmless" neighborhood vagrant. She said she couldn't believe what happened after officers investigated the man, whom they accused of urinating in public.
"I see him around all the time. He's harmless. He's just homeless," the woman, Nicole Bansal, 34, of La Jolla, said Thursday. "He's very easy to recognize, because he always has a big orange life vest on."
A police spokesman, Lt. Shawn Takeuchi, said Thursday that the Internal Affairs Unit is investigating and reviewing body camera video of the incident, which began about 9 a.m. when officers on patrol "witnessed a man urinating in public." They then tried to speak to the man. Police declined to name the man or say whether he is homeless.
"The man would not stop to speak with officers therefore an officer held the man to detain him," Takeuchi said in a statement. "Despite the officers repeatedly telling the man to 'stop resisting,' the man would not comply. One of the officers struck the man several times."
The man was taken into custody and taken to a hospital, police said. Once he was released from the hospital, he was booked on charges of resisting arrest and battery of a police officer.
The officers have not been publicly identified.
Bansal said she saw two officers get out of a police cruiser and approach the man, who is Black. She said she grew uneasy, took out her cellphone and recorded the encounter for more than 4 minutes from her driver's seat.
"They did not try to de-escalate. ... If they had just approached the situation calmly and tried to de-escalate, we wouldn't be here," she said. "That man didn't go out to take those guys down. The cops went there with that intention to take him down ... and the resulting fight is what ensued."
