DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – The suspect arrested in connection to the murder of a young boy who was found in the middle of a street in Dallas has been identified as 18-year-old Darriynn Brown.
Police said Brown, so far, has been charged with kidnapping and theft. Further charges are expected pending forensic results, according to police.
The 4-year-old victim was found in the 7500 block of Saddleridge Drive Saturday morning after police received a 911 call. Police said the 911 call did not come from the boy’s home.
The cause of the death has not yet been released, but police said they believe the suspect used an “edged weapon.”
At around 10 p.m. Saturday, police said they had a suspect in custody. Further details, such as location of the suspect, were not immediately released.
“Through the hard work of the men and women of the Dallas Police Department this criminal was brought to justice and it would not have been made possible without the Dallas FBI Evidence Response Team and the public’s assistance,” the department said in a statement.
Investigators believe the boy lived in the neighborhood. The woman who called 911 spoke to CBS 11 News about what she saw.
“I see something laying in the road and my initial thought was that it was a dog. The closer I get to it I can tell it’s a human cause I see a hand and I see legs. Very traumatizing. I have three kids. To see a child covered in blood in the middle of the street, it’s truly traumatizing,” she said.
CBS 11 News found the FBI’s evidence response team searching and removing items from a house located in 7500 block of Florina Parkway on Saturday evening. It’s in the same neighborhood as where the boy was found dead. The Dallas Police Department confirmed this location was also a part of their investigation.
(Reuters) Israel pummeled Gaza with air strikes on Monday and Palestinian militants launched rockets at Israeli cities despite a flurry of U.S. and regional diplomacy that has so far failed to halt more than a week of deadly fighting.
Israel's missile attacks on the densely populated Palestinian enclave killed a top Islamic Jihad commander and left a crater in a seven-storey office building that Israel's military said was used by Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas.
Rocket barrages, some of them launched in response to the killing of Islamic Jihad's Hussam Abu Harbeed, sent Israelis dashing for bomb shelters with direct hits on a synagogue in Ashkelon and an apartment building in Ashdod.
Gaza health officials put the Palestinian death toll since hostilities flared up last week at at least 204, including 58 children and 34 women. Ten people have been killed in Israel, including two children.
The cross-border hostilities have been accompanied by an uptick of violence in the occupied West Bank, and by riots involving Arab and Jewish mobs within Israel and clashes in Jewish-Arab communities. Police said an Israeli man died in hospital on Monday after being attacked by Arab rioters last week.
As Islamic Jihad mourned Harbeed's death, Israel's military said he had been "behind several anti-tank missile terror attacks against Israeli civilians", and an Israeli general said his country could carry on the fight "forever".
At least seven Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza on Monday by evening. Two died in the missile attack on the office building, which Israel's military said was used by Hamas internal security.
"My children couldn't sleep all night even after the wave of intensive bombing stopped," said Umm Naeem, 50, a mother of five, as she shopped for bread in Gaza City.
Militant groups in Gaza also gave no sign that an end to fighting was imminent. Rocket sirens blared into the evening, and medics said seven people had been injured in a rocket strike in Ashdod.
Earlier on Monday, Israel bombed what its military called 15 km (nine miles) of underground tunnels used by Hamas. Nine residences belonging to high-ranking Hamas commanders in Gaza were also hit, it said.
"We have to continue the war until there is long-term ceasefire - (one) that is not temporary," Osher Bugam, a resident of the Israel coastal city of Ashkelon, said after a rocket fired from Gaza hit a synagogue there.
Hamas began its rocket assault last Monday after weeks of tensions over a court case to evict several Palestinian families in East Jerusalem, and in retaliation for Israeli police clashes with Palestinians near the city's al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third holiest site, during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Palestinians have also become frustrated by setbacks to their aspirations for an independent state and an end to Israeli occupation in recent years.
World concern deepened after an Israeli air strike in Gaza that destroyed several homes on Sunday and which Palestinian health officials said killed 42 people, including 10 children, and persistent rocket attacks on Israeli towns.
U.S. President Joe Biden's envoy to the region, Hady Amr, met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Monday. Blinken said U.S. officials had been "working around the clock" to bring an end to the conflict.
"The United States remains greatly concerned by the escalating violence. Hundreds of people killed or injured, including children being pulled from the rubble," he said after talks with Denmark's foreign minister in Copenhagen.
Despite the flurry of U.S. mediation, Biden's administration approved the potential sale of $735 million in precision-guided weapons to its top ally Israel, and Congressional sources said on Monday that U.S. lawmakers were not expected to object to the deal despite the violence. read more

Brigadier General Yaron Rosen, a former Israeli air division commander, gave no indication on Monday there would be a let-up in attacks in what he called a "war of attrition".
"The IDF (Israeli military) can go with this forever. And they (Hamas) can go on with their rockets, sadly, also for a very long time. But the price they are paying is rising higher and higher," he told reporters.
The Israeli military said at least 130 Palestinian combatants had been killed since fighting began.
Diplomatic efforts are complicated by the fact the United States and most western powers do not talk to Hamas, which they regard as a terrorist organisation.
Abbas, whose power base is in the occupied West Bank, exerts little influence over Hamas in Gaza.
Tensions have surged between Israel's Jewish majority and 21% Arab minority in what the country's president has warned could devolve into "civil war".
General strikes over Israel's Gaza bombardment were planned for Tuesday in Arab towns within Israel and Palestinian towns in the West Bank.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court agreed Monday to consider a major rollback of abortion rights, saying it will decide whether states can ban abortions before a fetus can survive outside the womb.
The court’s order sets up a showdown over abortion, probably in the fall, with a more conservative court seemingly ready to dramatically alter nearly 50 years of rulings on abortion rights.
The court first announced a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion in the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision & reaffirmed it 19 years later.
The case involves a Mississippi law that would prohibit abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy. The state’s ban had been blocked by lower courts as inconsistent with Supreme Court precedent that protects a woman’s right to obtain an abortion before the fetus can survive outside her womb.
The justices had put off action on the case for several months. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an abortion-rights proponent, died just before the court’s new term began in October. Her replacement, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, is the most open opponent of abortion rights to join the court in decades.
Barrett is one of three appointees of former President Donald Trump on the Supreme Court. The other two, Justices Neil Gorsuch & Brett Kavanaugh, voted in dissent last year to allow Louisiana to enforce restrictions on doctors that could have closed two of the state’s three abortion clinics.
Chief Justice John Roberts, joined by Ginsburg & the other three liberal justices, said the restrictions were virtually identical to a Texas law the court struck down in 2016.
The Mississippi law was enacted in 2018, but was blocked after a federal court challenge. The state’s only abortion clinic remains open. The owner has said the clinic does abortions up to 16 weeks.
A central question in the case is about viability — whether a fetus can survive outside the woman at 15 weeks. The clinic presented evidence that viability is impossible at 15 weeks, and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that the state “conceded that it had identified no medical evidence that a fetus would be viable at 15 weeks.”
The Mississippi law would allow exceptions to the 15-week ban in cases of medical emergency or severe fetal abnormality. Doctors found in violation of the ban would face mandatory suspension or revocation of their medical license.

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!
