Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office Juvenile Court Unit announced on Thursday that Ameen Hurst (DOB 9/20/04) was sentenced for his role in four murders he committed between 2021 and 2022 as a juvenile as well as for escaping the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center last year a member of the now defunct Young Bag Chasers (YBC) street group entered a non-negotiated guilty plea on November 1 to four counts of Third Degree Murder (F1) and numerous related firearm and other offenses Hurst’s violent spree began when he was 16 years old as the man was walking to catch a bus to work on December 24 2020 in the city’s Overbrook section Hurst opened fire on four young men—also in Overbrook—killing 24-year-old Naquan Smith and 17-year-old Tamir Brown Just one week following the second Overbrook attack Hurst and his YBC associates received information that an alleged member of a rival group was set to be released from Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility (CFCF) Hurst and his

Krasner “It is hard to overstate the threat to public safety that this reckless and dangerous defendant posed to our city But it’s also important to note that this swift investigation and prosecution is a reminder to anyone else who thinks they can act like a one-person crime wave that you will be caught and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.” I still recognize that God is the foundation of our family,” said Pastor John Hargrove III “I want to thank the Philadelphia Police Department the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office and everyone who had a hand in brining the

fire remains unclear the company says its equipment may have been associated with the ignition of the smaller Hurst fire Videos of the early stages of the Eaton Fire are “concerning” and “may suggest a possible link to SCE's equipment,” Pizarro said in a video statement released Thursday. But evidence gathered so far in the company's investigation of the fire has yet to establish a likely cause of the blaze, which burned 14,000 acres destroyed 9,400 structures and killed 17 civilians according to the the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection video evidence first released in connection with a New York Times article and later verified by SCE appears to show two flashes of light in Eaton Canyon where the fire is believed to have originated SCE says it has not identified any signs of arcing on equipment located within the canyon SCE has found evidence of potential arcing and other damage to the grounding equipment on two idle conductors located about five circuit miles from the area the fire is believed to have started The company told the CPUC it has not yet established when this damage occurred Electrical data from the four energized transmission lines that run through Eaton Canyon showed no anomalies until one hour after the reported start time of the fire SCE's system protection devices locked out multiple transmission lines following the fire's ignition Electrical workers who were assigned to observe the lines reported flashes of white light when the transmission lines in Eaton Canyon were re-energized; the lines were proactively de-energized on Jan 20 due to high winds and have remained de-energized since The company has also collected and preserved evidence of an encampment in Eaton Canyon The company is cooperating with state and county officials who are investigating the fires and with attorneys for plaintiffs who have filed suit against SCE SCE did not say how many suits have been filed so far but the company has not yet released an estimate of how much damage it sustained Get the free daily newsletter read by industry experts Data centers and transportation electrification will drive U.S electricity demand about 2% higher each year for the next quarter century according to a new analysis completed for the National Electrical Manufacturers Association The projected price declines remain dependent on tax credits included in the Inflation Reduction Act The free newsletter covering the top industry headlines The Rose State Board of Regents has named Travis Hurst as the college's eighth president Hurst has spent the last 12 years of his career at Rose State College He currently serves as the Vice President for Academic Affairs more than 350 faculty and staff and over half of the college’s operating budget Hurst was first hired in 2013 as the college's Academic Technology Coordinator and has also served as the Dean of eLearning and Academic Outreach and Associate Vice President He has taken part in launching several academic programs at the college who announced her retirement in December after 12 years of service "Travis is a visionary leader who understands the heart of Rose State \"Travis is a visionary leader who understands the heart of Rose State and general news updates from News 9 delivered right to your inbox she was a daughter of the late Tom Burton and Barbara (Page) Burton Marilyn was a huge Elvis fan and collected his memorabilia She also enjoyed doing arts and crafts throughout her life Marilyn worked as a cashier with Makos Market She always loved getting to know and interacting with her customers In keeping with her wishes there are no services and cremation care has been entrusted to Linn-Hert-Geib Funeral Home and Crematory We have the address for the funeral home & the family on file If you're not happy with your card we'll send a replacement or refund your money The family of Carolyn Marie Hurst created this Life Tributes page to make it easy to share your memories Made with love by funeralOne Owned and operated by the Atchley family since 1920 we proudly serve the families of our community with care and professionalism.For generations the Atchley family and the staff have strived to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of the families we have had the honor to serve We are a family-owned funeral home with the 3rd and 4th generations working together to continue our tradition of serving our community Atchley Funeral Home also has the only crematory in the county ensuring that your loved one never leaves our care We hope you find our site helpful and informative and we also welcome your calls and visits if you would like further assistance.Atchley Funeral Home - a strong traditional heritage combined with contemporary ideas and modern facilities to enable us to provide the most caring service available Atchley Funeral Home - Seymour Memory Gardens Atchley's Smoky Mountain Chapel & Memory Gardens Browse Departments & Services History Walk Home 1 Katzen Arts Center 2 Kay Spiritual Life Center 3 School of Public Affairs 4 Cherry Blossoms 5 Hurst Hall 6 School of International Service 7 The Dav 8 Bender Library 9 School of Communication 10 Mary Graydon Center 11 Kogod School of Business 12 Woods-Brown Amphitheater 13 Athletics 14 JFK Commencement Speech 15 Glover Gate 16 Eric A.

Hurst will spend the rest of his life in prison for what he did “The nightmares and the awful images will never leave us,” Strever read in an emotional statement in court Thursday “They often come back as flashbacks without warning These images are too gruesome to be shared and so this life at times becomes a lonely road to travel.” [ Guilty verdict almost 9 years after Wilson murders in Sycamore ] Circuit Court Judge Marcy Buick sentenced Hurst to life in prison on four counts of first-degree murder – two each for Patricia and Robert He won’t be eligible for parole or release were found stabbed and bludgeoned to death inside their home on Old State Road in Sycamore on Aug talks to his lawyers after being sentenced to life in prison Thursday at the DeKalb County Courthouse in Sycamore The Saaris had gone to check on the Wilsons when repeated phone calls went unanswered for almost a full day Strever said the trauma of the tragedy still haunts her family today “This emptiness and heartache has crippled our lives forever,” Strever said she also was concerned for her husband Mike who also viewed Patty and Bob They were worried about each other’s emotional Circuit Court Judge Marcy Buick listens Thursday as a victim impact statement is read by Nancy Strever a family member of murdered mother and son Patricia and Robert Wilson Patricia was Strever's sister and Robert's aunt Hurst was convicted of the killings and was sentenced Thursday to life in prison In her ruling, Buick took into consideration the especially violent way two people older than 60 were killed calling them “vicious and brutal attacks.” Hurst has no known criminal history and was living in Cincinnati Buick said evidence showed the mother and son suffered greatly at Hurst’s hands and that they were “defenseless” when murdered the evidence in this trial and that showed that this murder was exceptionally brutal and heinous and it was indicative of wanton cruelty,” lead prosecutor Scott Schwertley said “The number of strikes to Patricia as well as Robert by a blunt force trauma crushed the skulls of both of them.” He pleaded not guilty after his February 2020 arrest And he declined again Thursday when offered a chance to make a statement He answered Buick’s courtroom questions with one-word responses in spite of overwhelming circumstantial and physical evidence against him in this case has not taken responsibility for his actions,” Buick said that simple question ‘Why?’ has not been answered by this defendant In a news release after the sentencing, DeKalb County State’s Attorney Riley Oncken thanked prosecutors including Schwertley But Oncken also called Hurst’s “lack of accountability infuriating.” “His silence leaves the Wilson family and our community with the unanswered question of why he committed such a horrific crime and then simply drove home to Chicago Before the sentence was handed down, Hurst’s defense team gave a last-ditch effort to reverse the verdict. Lead defense attorney Chip Criswell of the DeKalb County Public Defender’s Office filed on Feb Criswell pointed to Hurst’s lack of criminal history and said murder was “completely out of his nature,” citing trial testimony from Hurst’s siblings the daughter of Patricia Wilson and sister of Robert Wilson is comforted Thursday Hurst who was convicted of the 2016 Wilson murders Criswell argued that prosecutors hadn’t presented sufficient evidence to support the jury’s guilty verdict He cast doubt on a yearslong multi-agency police investigation He alleged detectives didn’t properly vet other potential suspects and didn’t process the crime scene thoroughly enough He’d attempted to have evidence thrown out before the trial ruling that the prosecutors' case was built on forensic proof “It cut our defense off at the knees,” Criswell said Schwertley also recalled remarks he’d made at trial His fingerprint was on a downstairs bathroom mirror and multiple Diet Coke cans His DNA was on a pillow and two knives in the basement laundry room crawl space It’s been 3,140 days since the Wilsons were killed Hurst’s sentencing came more than five years after his arrest a typical Sunday turned into an unfathomable reality Strever remembered how Robert “gave generously” to people in his life and was a faithful member of the Sycamore Moose Lodge and said the weekly church-goer was “kind and giving.” Patty loved passing out dollar bills to local children “The last time I ever heard her voice,” Strever said as her voice trembled you came into my family’s home and brutally killed two beautiful people for no apparent reason,” Strever said Strever thanked area law enforcement, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, prosecutors and investigators for bringing answers to her grieving family. “We are devastated by the pain you caused, the pain we’ve had to carry for all these eight and a half years,” Strever told Hurst. “It’s been difficult to spend all of these hours in court reliving all of this trauma. And still, we do not have a reason for your horrible brutal murder of Patty and Bob. Perhaps we’ll never know why.” Copyright © 2023 Shaw Local News Network The Prentis Award is presented annually to a person who demonstrates exemplary civic service to the university and the Williamsburg community Hurst double-majored in American studies and history at George Mason University before earning his Master of Arts in history from W&M in 1989 In recognition of those contributions and more Hurst is this year’s recipient of William & Mary’s Prentis Award an accolade presented annually to a person who demonstrates exemplary civic service to the university and the Williamsburg community He will receive the honor during a private reception this month “We are deeply grateful to Ron for his leadership to preserve Williamsburg’s most historic buildings,” said W&M President Katherine A “He recognizes that what matters most is what the buildings can tell us about people – and about ourselves and our values It is fitting that we honor him just days before reopening the restored Bray School The stories of Bray School scholars will inspire audiences around the nation We can hear their voices today because of the collaborations Ron has led for many years.” The Prentis Award was established in 1980 and is named for William Prentis owner of a local 18th-century store that was “known for its fair wages innovative business practices.” Colonial Williamsburg still operates a version of the store today on East Duke of Gloucester Street A university committee accepts nominations for the Prentis Award.

Launched in 2022, the scholarship covered 51 students in its first year and expanded to cover 75 in its second.  The Soledad ’92 and Robert Hurst Horizon Scholarship Program awards the scholarships to students whose family income is up to 200% of the federal poverty guidelines and whose assets are below $150,000 “As the first person in my family to graduate from high school the Hurst Horizon Scholarship has given me the opportunity to attend law school without having to sacrifice my commitment to public service for financial security,” said Trinh Q “I've worked tirelessly — often multiple jobs — to support my family and receiving the Hurst Horizon Scholarship has allowed me to concentrate on my studies like never before This support has freed me from the financial worries that have long overshadowed my academic journey.” We need to keep pushing legal education to remove the many barriers that block access to law school and focus on the metrics that truly matter.”—Dean Heather K The expansion of the Hurst Horizon Program is part of a larger trend at the Law School the number of students who are the first in their families to attend graduate or professional school has increased by 50% while the number of first-generation college students has grown by 80% one in four students from the incoming class are first-generation college and/or low-income “We are thrilled to have 89 students walking our halls tuition-free this year,” said Dean Heather K “These are remarkably talented students who make Yale a better place.”  Gerken has worked to kick open the doors to legal education and remove barriers to law for new generations of students.  In the last few years, Yale Law School has launched two law school pipeline programs, the Launchpad Scholars Program and Access to Law School Program which enable would-be lawyers to gain support and resources as they apply to the law schools of their choice Every financial aid program at the Law School has been strengthened in recent years and its tuition-free scholarship for low-income students was the first such program in the country.  “Our community has been enriched by the presence of our incredibly accomplished Hurst Horizon Scholars who are future leaders and changemakers,” said Associate Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Miriam Ingber ’04 “Providing the Scholars with the opportunity to obtain a world-class legal education without many of the usual financial pressures is a win-win for the YLS community and our students.” Yale Law School remains one of only two law schools in the U.S that offers financial aid solely based on need 79% of scholarships were awarded based on merit; just 19% were need-based The Law School’s withdrawal from the rankings inspired nearly 60 schools to do the same which has freed up legal institutions to make different choices and focus on different metrics Heading into the third year of the program Yale Law School has a lot to celebrate — not least its wildly talented “Not until every school offers aid purely based on financial need can we say that we’re a profession open to all,” she said “We need to keep pushing legal education to remove the many barriers that block access to law school and focus on the metrics that truly matter.” 203.432.4992 Ruth Ilene Flowers Hurst is now in the arms of her Lord Jesus Christ and it was late at night on the 21st of December when the doctor arrived Ruth had always celebrated her birthday on the 22nd until she was 19 years of age she had to have her birth certificate and that is when she found out that she was born on the 21st the family always celebrated her birthday on the 22nd Ruth was the oldest daughter of Reverend Lindsay Floyd Flowers and Reverend Lovie Mae Flowers Ruth moved to California where her parents were enrolled at the Life Bible College While in California she attended John Marshall High School in Hollywood Ruth wanted to return to Muncie to graduate with her friends While attending Muncie Central she lived with her mother’s sister Grace and her family She graduated with honors from Muncie Central in 1949 She then moved to New Castle with her parents and her sister Ruth worked several jobs in New Castle but a brief time later she felt called by God to go to Life Bible College in Los Angeles Ruth became an ordained minister with the Foursquare Gospel Church While at the Bible College she did mission works on the streets in downtown Los Angeles and she worked in different Foursquare churches in the area In 2013 she was one of several individuals recognized for serving 60 years or more in active Foursquare ministry at the International Convention in Lake Beuna Vista Ruth returned to New Castle where she was an active volunteer at Foursquare Church where her parents were pastors and she both served as music director and worked in the office Ruth decided later to attend Ball State Teachers College in Muncie where she again graduated with honors with an Endorsement in Music Anne’s Catholic School and oversaw the Music Department She also taught organ and piano lessons out of her home for over forty students In 1982 she became the General Manager of the Department of Public Transportation for the City of New Castle In that position she wrote operational grants for the City of New Castle Transportation Department Ruth's memberships and professional organizations include: Life Bible College Alumni Association and Board of Directors for the following: Henry County Council on Aging United Way of Henry County and Business and Professional Women and Blake Hurst of New Castle;

He also thought about the impact that the teachers had on his education and overall success and wanted to do his part in providing encouragement to students to preserve in school Hurst recalled back to his elementary school years and his first-grade teacher as one of those teachers who had a significant impact on his education "She was extremely hard on me as a teacher," Hurst said "I remember I was one of the students that had to wear glasses but she would always get on me about wearing them consistently She always made sure that I had my homework done She was always putting a lot of time towards me I definitely felt like I had a teacher who truly had a passion for what she was doing and that's honestly been one of the best parts of being a Stay in the Game ambassador — not only seeing these students but seeing the teachers that are putting forth that effort into them and you can see the level of respect and wanting to teach these kids something truly important." he's been able to form personal connections with the students he's visited and hear their stories about attending school He's been able to encourage students throughout the school year to continue their efforts of attendance and see the work that the teachers and the administrators put in each day to inspire their students "To get to spend time with these kids one-on-one is really cool because I feel that they get to see me as a person and not only as a football player and that we have all sorts of the same interests," Hurst said "It's cool to get to spend time with them and talk to them just as humans and get to connect on a personal level It's really special to have those bonds and you never really forget those students that you get to connect and spend time with."

The program had previously seen complaints to the state nearly double in 2023 compared to other recent years.  Nearly half of those complaints cited “Utilities/Charges In Excess of Actual Costs,” followed by 301 complaints for “Amount of Rent Increase” and 204 for “General Maintenance/Maintenance of Common Areas.” The program listed 326 complaints as opened and closed within the year – of those 277 were closed mainly due to multiple complaints filed for the same issue and voluntary compliance with dispute resolution mediation The program saw a 75% decrease in cases closed due to complainants stopping their participation in the dispute resolution process compared to the previous year In addition to actions taken against Hurst & Son LLC the program issued significant violations against Tri-Cities RV Park and Western Living Trailer Court – the former resulting in $243,995 in reimbursements to tenants The annual report also included policy recommendations seeking specific authority to issue fines against parties who refuse to cooperate with the program or who fail to register communities with the state as required by law Another recommendation asked for a clear burden of proof on establishing ownership of permanent structures.  “The Program managed many staff changes in 2024,” the report noted “and experienced staffing shortages for extended periods of time throughout the year.”  which advocates have long deemed understaffed is actively recruiting for two staff positions this year The Cascade PBS documentary explores how one ownership group has bought up communities statewide and raised rents The AG’s Office reported an unprecedented number of claims as parks are bought up by corporations and pandemic eviction moratoriums expire Port Orchard-based Hurst & Son LLC bought dozens of parks in recent years Now residents say the company is raising rents and cutting services Cascade PBS’s reporting drew Congressional attention informed new policy discussions and sparked the resignation of one Seattle director data and behind-the-scenes insight into investigative efforts We rely on donations from readers like you to sustain Cascade PBS's in-depth reporting on issues crticial to the PNW The city hearing examiner tossed appeals to the Comprehensive Plan but due to delays the City Council is still focused on interim legislation Labor & Industries submitted an unprecedented referral against construction company Rotschy for allegedly allowing a minor to use dangerous equipment Former energy consultant Kurt Beckett now heads the agency tasked with permitting his ex-clients’ wind and solar plants Farah Eltohamy is Cascade PBS’s investigative reporter covering workplace safety, housing and immigration issues.
