Armed with an autopsy report confirming that Reefa died because he was Tasered — and not because of drugs or “excited delirium,” the condition often…
It’s a twisted Florida version of Romeo and Juliet. Except it’s the parents who (almost) ended up dead instead of the young lovers. A 13-year-old girl and her 15-year-old boyfriend near Ocala concocted a plan to kill the girl’s parents so the two could be together and it got as…
Perhaps the only thing more deplorably than holding up a Boy Scout trying to raise funds for his troop at gunpoint is doing the same to a Girl Scout, but then at least you’d get some Thin Mints and Tagalongs. A man who robbed a 12-year-old Boy Scout down in…
Spring Training has barely started and already the Miami Marlins are the punchline of Major League Baseball. The team raised some eyebrows last week when word leaked that team executives were furious that the Boston Red Sox showed up to a game with a roster missing most of their star…
At the University of Central Florida, Jah Reid terrorized defensive lineman with his 6’7″ frame and 335 pounds of muscle. Police say Reid put that size advantage to another use this weekend at a Key West strip club, where he head-butted a man who innocently bumped into him and sparked…
Earning the title of Florida’s most corrupt city is no easy job. Dade County’s mayoral elite have certainly done their best to make a bid for the plaudits this past year, from Sweetwater’s bribe-taking chief to Homestead’s allegedly campaign-finance breaking mayor. Tiny Hampton, Florida, blows them both out of the…
The evening was sliding toward midnight, but the students were still hanging out.

You know how Nancy Grace always gives terrible mothers nicknames like “Tan Mom” and “Tot Mom?” Well, we’re just going to christen Irisdaly Rios with the tabloid-worthy name of “Chonga Mom,” because, if you’re talking trash she’ll beat you after class. See, Rios has been caught on camera beating one…
The Raleigh Hotel might be about to get a new owner and it’s someone very familiar to your mid-90s wardrobe. Yes, Tommy Hilfiger is in final talks to purchase the historic South Beach Hotel and plans to turn it into a private member’s only club and hotel…
Ayyyyyyy dios mio! The Los Spurs dropped a biblical ass whooping on El Heat Thursday night in San Antonio, 111-87. No, no, NO me gusta! The Heat were sloppy all night, committing 20 turnovers. When you commit 20 turnovers against the Spurs, it doesn’t have to be Latin night for…
What ever happened to those decals of Calvin pissing on things? Back in the 90s, if your F-150 wasn’t emblazoned with cartoon character mischievously urinating on [another truck company’s name/a pictorial version of an abstract concept/your least-favorite sports team’s logo] you didn’t believe in anything. You weren’t in the driver’s…
Seven months after Israel “Reefa” Hernandez was killed by Miami Beach cops, authorities finally announced what his family has claimed all along: that the teen died from being Tasered. The findings, which were disclosed yesterday by State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, contradict both news reports and claims by Taser that…
Can the Miami Marlins be any more pathetic? The team hosted the Boston Red Sox, the defending World Champions, at spring practice today and charged fans a premium price for tickets. Though, the Red Sox showed up with a lineup devoid of star power and with only two players in…
