JOHN laemmle, Nancy Police in South Florida say they've arrested Gutierrez, accused of stabbing that other man on Miami beach, an attack that left the victim critically injured and triggered a month long search. Miami beach Police say the 24 year old suspect was taken into custody this week in connection with the stabbing that happened late last year near Ocean Drive. Investigators say the victim was stabbed in the neck during that confrontation on the beach. Emergency responders rushed the victim to a hospital with life threatening injuries. Police say he survived and continues to recover. In the days after the attack, detectives released surveillance images and warned the public the suspect was considered armed and dangerous. Authorities say tips from the public combined with video evidence and follow up interviews ultimately led officers to the suspect's location. Police have not publicly identified a motive and say it's still unclear whether the suspect and victim knew each other. Investigators say the arrest was made without incident. The suspect now faces multiple felony charges, including attempted murder. Prosecutors say additional charges could follow as the investigation continues.

Crime Online's John Laemmle new video footage is raising questions about a fatal encounter between federal immigration agents and a Minnesota man, Alexander Alex Pretty, a 37 year old intensive care nurse from Minneapolis, was shot and killed January 24th during a federal immigration enforcement operation. Federal officials initially said Pretty was armed and posed a threat, but bystander video reviewed by news organizations appears to show him holding a cell phone, not a weapon, in the moments before agents restrained him. Pretty's family says he was attempting to help a woman when agents approached. The footage has prompted calls from local and state officials for an independent investigation and for all evidence to be preserv. The Department of Homeland Security says agents acted in self defense and that the case remains under review. Protests have continued in Minneapolis as pressure grows for greater transparency. A Chicago area physician has pleaded not guilty in an Ohio case involving the shooting deaths of his ex wife and her husband. 39 year old Michael David McKee entered the plea in Franklin County, Ohio. He's charged with four counts of aggravated murder and one count of aggravated aggravated burglary and the December 30th killings of 39 year old Monique Teep and her husband, 37 year old Dr. Spencer Tepe, inside their Columbus home. Prosecutors say the couple were found shot to death while their two young children were inside the home and unharmed. McKee appeared by video from jail and did not speak during the hearing. His attorney waived a bond request and McKee remains held without Bailey. Investigators say McKee was arrested days later in Rockford, Illinois after surveillance video and vehicle data led authorities to his location. Prosecutors allege evidence recovered from his car and residents tied him to the shootings. If convicted, McKee could face life in prison. Florida officials have scheduled an execution for a man convicted nearly 40 years ago in a Manatee county murder case. Melvin Trotter, now 65, is set to be executed by lethal injection on February 24 at Florida State Prison. Trotter was convicted in the 1986 killing of Virgie Langford, a grocery store owner who was shot during a robbery. He was sentenced to death in 1987 after a sentencing error was identified. He was re sentenced in 1993. His attorneys have pursued multiple appeals over the decades, including challenges to sentencing procedures. Those efforts have so far been unsuccessful.
