believes could have prevented the murder 19 Investigates has obtained an exclusive copy of the wrongful death lawsuit filed Thursday against Ian Rich a 30-year-old Newburgh Heights man who is currently awaiting trial for the April 28 murder of David Perez and attempted murder of Jackie Perez The lawsuit also names Newburgh Heights officers Rachel Halaska and Chief of Police John Majoy as co-defendants Rich was “known by Newburgh Heights police officers to be a mentally unstable methamphetamine user in possession of firearms who had recently committed a violent assault and expressed homicidal ideation based on paranoid delusions.” Attorneys Sarah Gelsomino and Marcus Sidoti of Friedman, Gilbert + Gerhardstein claim the officers are also to blame for Rich’s actions “because they knew about the danger he presented to members of the public but affirmatively chose not to arrest him for multiple felonies and not to have him hospitalized on an emergency basis.” and Majoy had a duty to enforce Ohio law and protect the public by arresting Defendant Rich for one or more crimes including but not limited to possession of illegal narcotics and paraphernalia and assaulting his brother,” the lawsuit states Under Ohio law it is illegal for a person with a drug dependency Last May, 19 Investigates uncovered a disturbing history of police interactions involving Rich in the three years leading up to the murder of David Perez lived next door to the suspected killer and had previously expressed concerns to officers that their neighbor’s erratic behavior “would progress into something dangerous to them.” Police said Rich assaulted his brother and had threatened to kill his neighbors just days before the deadly shooting he was “experiencing paranoia” about his neighbors which they said had been happening for years Records show Newburgh Heights officers responded to Rich’s Ross Avenue home more than a dozen times between November 2021 and April 2024 19 Investigates found the majority of calls were we related to his bizarre and sometimes unsettling behavior records show officers went to the suspect’s home at least six times over concerns about his mental health a mobile crisis team showed up at Rich’s house after receiving a call from his mother who was concerned about his behavior The social workers asked police to respond as well because they were told he had guns and a history of using meth In police body camera footage obtained by 19 Investigates “If he admits that he has guns then we’re gonna take them but we got to get him to say he has guns in the house before we can do anything.” Rich told the officers he owned multiple firearms including a GLOCK 23 that he kept in his car the officers did not confiscate his weapons “Ian was not showing any signs of suffering from a mental health crisis so it was determined to not transport him to the hospital.” officers returned with an order from the Cuyahoga County Probate Court to take Rich to a hospital for a psychological exam He became upset and repeatedly refused to go I can’t have that ever again,” Rich said angrily tried to persuade him to hand over his guns voluntarily hold them at the station for safe keeping that way nobody can take them from you,” she said Rich then admitted to using meth and said he had drugs in his pocket I don’t want to get a felony possession of meth!” he said After Chief Majoy assured Rich that he was not going to be arrested at that time for the drugs he began to cooperate and eventually agreed to go to the hospital Officer Halaska then escorted Rich to an ambulance She again tried to get him to turn his guns over to police but he refused Vincent Charity Medical Center’s psychiatric emergency room but after testing positive for illegal narcotics he was released “When he walked in the ambulance they should have taken him for 72 hours and evaluated him and they never did that,” Sally Perez said in an interview with 19 Investigates last May Rich’s mother called Newburgh Heights Police on April 11 “She stated that she is afraid that Ian is getting worse and she is desperately seeking assistance in helping him,” Halaska wrote in her report The woman told police her son’s home was unlivable and that Rich had torn downs walls and started digging into the foundation of the house with a cement drill “He stated that he needs to do this because his neighbors (Ted and Sally Perez) are doing things underground and he needs to know what is going on.” he went on a rant about his neighbors and said needed to kill them The woman then stated Rich had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and that he was self-medicating with methamphetamines this report will be forwarded to the Newburgh Heights Building Department and the process for a pink slip will be started,” Halaska wrote The officer said she also spoke with Sally that same day and informed her that “Ian was once again experiencing paranoia about her and her husband.” the Perez family was at a steakhouse celebrating Ted’s birthday David and Jackie went over to his parent’s home afterwards to watch Ted unwrap presents and it was a matter of minutes before David wasn’t here anymore because [Rich] followed them right out of the yard,” Sally said ODOT surveillance cameras captured David and Jackie’s truck as they pulled on to I-77 at 9:26 p.m Police said Rich was behind the wheel of the Audi convertible that can be seen on video following them onto the highway Rich pulled up along side the couple and shot into their truck moments later David was shot multiple times and died at the scene Rich was arrested by Bratenahl police about an hour and half after the shooting Sally told us she and her husband were aware that their neighbor had mental health issues and that police had told them they were trying to get Rich some help we put Ring cameras up because we didn’t know what was gonna happen,” Sally said and so many times his mother did a welfare check She would call the police and have them do a welfare check on him why couldn’t anything have been done about this?” “And then knowing he had guns in the house how could you know that someone has a mental problem How could you allow somebody like this to have guns in the house?” The Perez family believes David might still be alive today if officers would have arrested Rich for drug possession last March Rich pleaded not guilty to numerous felony charges previously declined to comment on the case troopers conducted a search of both individuals More than six grams of crack cocaine were found on Knight’s person he became uncooperative and attempted to flee troopers also recovered an illegal firearm from Knight which was later determined to have been stolen from the town

the Goldbacks were 5-for-18 beyond the arc Newburgh had 20 turnovers and New Rochelle 19 New Rochelle (18-6) – New Rochelle was ranked No 16 in the latest state poll; NFA was an honorable mention … Malik Gaspar (18 points) was nearly unstoppable in the low post … New Rochelle shot just 3-for-18 in the final quarter to finish 17-for-45 – the team shot a woeful 1-for-19 beyond the arc … Huguenots had five-game win streak snapped New Rochelle played five games in 15 days; Newburgh played one (a Section 9 final win over Monroe-Woodbury) since Feb “We’re happy to be in this moment but we’re not complacent to be in the moment.’’ – Jason McAllister Newburgh will be making its fifth state semifinal appearance – and first since 2010 – on Thursday at Binghamton’s Visions Veterans Memorial Arena The Goldbacks will face Section 2 champ Shaker (a 68-53 winner over Section 3’s Bishop Ludden) at 6 p.m The other semi pits Section 6 champ Jamestown against the Long Island champ kmcmillan@th-record.com Newburgh state playoff history2025 – AAA semifinals on Thursday 2023 – Lost AA quarterfinal to North Rockland 2022 – Lost AA first round to Mount Vernon 2014 – Lost AA first round to Mount Vernon 2011 – Lost AA first round to Mount Vernon 2007 – Lost AA quarterfinal to Mount Vernon 2006 – Lost AA quarterfinal to Mount Vernon 1996 – Lost A final to Niagara Falls-LaSalle 1994 – Lost A quarterfinal to White Plains 1993 – Lost A quarterfinal to Mount Vernon 1984* – Lost A first round to Mount Vernon 1982* – Lost A quarterfinal to Spring Valley 1980* – Lost A first round to Clarkstown North When Kaiden Birdsong heaved that ball as the buzzer sounded it certainly didn't seem as if this was the ending of a nondescript non-league game where the fans who had been brought to their feet seconds earlier roared with delight it's just the regular season," Savion Nesbitt said with a smile To get out of this with a win was exciting." Birdsong hit a go-ahead three and Poughkeepsie made enough plays down the stretch including Nesbitt's steal in the closing seconds to eke out a thrilling 52-50 win over cross-section rival Newburgh on Friday "We didn't play how we wanted to and it was an ugly win," Birdsong said That's been somewhat of a trend for the boys basketball team as the Pioneers What for most programs would be a typical rebuilding campaign Pieces of the puzzle: Beacon tops Saugerties in rematch of Section 9 final 'Next man up': Bozsik leads shorthanded Haldane in Officials vs. Cancer tournament and the roster lacking traditional height in the front court Poughkeepsie has been more reliant on late-game rallies and superb spurts in which they’ve been able to turn games in a few dominant minutes The team still is "searching for consistency," coach Cody Moffett said they've kept themselves afloat — and kept spectators entertained — with these nail-biting finishes Victor Nelson had 17 points and four steals and the 5-foot-6 Birdsong snagged seven rebounds and scored all 14 of his points in the second half helping the Pioneers erase a six-point deficit and edge the Class AAA opponent The Pioneers have been tested regularly against a competitive schedule that included Iona Prep and features next week a tournament in Massachusetts against New England teams "We have to play good basketball," Moffett said of compensating for a lineup without an active player over 6-foot-1 not allowing people to penetrate and force rotation which gets guys out of position to rebound We have to focus on the details and do a lot of things well." The Pioneers (11-5) were outrebounded and struggled during stretches when the offense was stagnant "We're gonna be undersized against most teams and we go in having that as a challenge," said Nesbitt we have to make sure we're disciplined and doing all the little things right." hitting clutch shots and making plays at pivotal moments Birdsong's fourth 3-pointer came from the wing with 2:39 remaining and gave Poughkeepsie a 47-46 lead it didn’t relinquish being someone to space the floor and try to hit big shots," said Birdsong "I've been fortunate to hit a few shots in the clutch Section 9's Newburgh pulled with a point before Nelson shook a defender with a crossover and finished a spectacular left-handed layup through contact Alejandro Florentino converted a steal into a fast-break basket again drawing the Goldbacks within one with 29 seconds left But Nesbitt's free throw created the margin with 14 seconds to go and Newburgh's last possession was thwarted when Nelson and Nesbitt pressured the ball just inside the arc and forced the clinching turnover Shaun Gonzalez had 12 points and Bryce Marshall had 11 points for Newburgh (6-7) I asked to guard their best player on the last possession," Nesbitt said of Florentino including free throws following two consecutive offensive rebounds that tied it at 44 for Poughkeepsie Korey Jackson and Tazjir Gary each scored four The teams scuffled offensively in the first half but Poughkeepsie took a 26-22 lead to halftime Ethan Tyson's jumper started a 7-0 run that had the Goldbacks up 40-34 late in the third quarter but Nelson answered with five points in 39 seconds including a three that got the Pioneers within 44-42 with 5:35 remaining Nelson and Birdsong "have been the bail-out guys for us," Nesbitt said Their most dramatic win to this point was a rally from down 20 points against Mahopac two weeks ago in which Birdsong scored 29 but we shouldn't have to (rely on that)," Nesbitt continued "It's not fair to put pressure on them to get us out of trouble We definitely have to play better overall." and Birdsong twice outleapt players nearly a foot taller for contested rebounds it does require that extra effort and leadership under pressure “It’s challenging and stressful throughout,” Moffett said of the edge-of-your-seat wins “But it feels good knowing you were able to find a way Stephen Haynes: shaynes@poughkeepsiejournal.com; 845-437-4826; Twitter: @StephenHaynes4 Warrick County and the Town of Newburgh are offering residents storm debris collection services without charge County storm debris collection will begin Tuesday and end on Feb The county asks interested residents to bring their debris to Warrick County Solid Waste at 1111 S such as a driver's license or other government-issued ID that must be displayed at drop-off Out-of-county and in-county contractors will be charged the standard commercial rates The Town of Newburgh announced it has contracted with Renewable Resources to place dumpsters for tree limb and bush debris drop-off at four locations until Jan The Town's announcement says nothing about proof of residency but it does say the services are available to "those who live within the Town limits."
