Hialeah, Florida, homicide detectives have charged an elderly man with the shooting death of his sister-in-law.

Two bodies were found inside the home of 78-year-old Angel Dominguez on the 200 block of W 45th Street Friday afternoon. Police say Dominguez shot and killed his 80-year-old sister-in-law Hidelsia Echemendia, who was visiting from Cuba.

Dominguez's wife, 87-year-old Blesilda, was also found dead in the home. Police have not yet released her cause of death, but say there were no visible signs of trauma. A neighbor told NBC 6 that the woman had a heart attack after finding out about the shooting.

Several neighbors said they heard shots from the area of the home.

“I came out of the house. I was helping my grandpa load some things on the truck,” said neighbor Alexis Espinosa. “We heard a gunshot, but we didn’t hear nothing else.”

Police responded to the scene around 1 p.m. Friday after another family member called 911. Dominguez was home when police arrived and cooperated with the investigation.

Dominguez is being charged with second-degree murder. His motive remains unknown. It is unclear if Dominguez has an attorney.

A man was killed early Saturday morning after a semi-truck hit him on the I-5 off ramp at Palm Avenue in Egger Highlands, CHP officials said.

Joshua Munoz witnessed the incident. He said the man was walking on the off ramp around 12:20 a.m., and said he almost hit him with his own car but narrowly missed.

After the near-accident, Munoz pulled over to the side of the road to help the pedestrian. It was then he saw the man get hit by the semi.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene. No arrests were made, and there were no other injuries.

The pedestrian's name was not immediately released by authorities.
 

The unlicensed teenage driver accused of fatally striking a 4-year-old girl on a Manhattan sidewalk last year has been arrested again in an apparently unrelated case.

Franklin Reyes, now 18, was arrested on a petit larceny charge along with his father, prosecutors said Saturday. Prosecutors say he and his father targeted the apartment of a dead resident in the Chelsea building where his father is a superintendent. They are accused of taking a camera, alcohol, jewelry and cash from the apartment.

Reyes' lawyer, Martin Schmukler, objected vehemently to prosecutors' claims.

"It is a groundless arrest, and the case will not survive in court," he said Saturday.

Reyes was released on bail in June 2013 over the objections of the family of Ariel Russo. Reyes has said he is not guilty of manslaughter in the little girl's death. 

Russo and her grandmother were hit on the Upper West Side on June 4, 2013. Prosecutors say the high school student struck them while trying to evade police after he was pulled over for reckless driving.

Russo's family expressed anger after the bail hearing last year. 

"My daughter's dead and this guy's going to be free," said Alan Russo, Ariel's father. "He's going to have the summer, he's going to be home, he is going to play video games, he is going to eat his mom's home-cooked food."

"I'm never going to have my daughter back," he said. 

At the time, Schmukler said he told the judge: "He's not dangerous, he needs to go back to school. He's a kid. A terrible thing happened. It's just very, very unfortunate. Let him go."

Reyes, who only had a learners permit at the time of the crash, was ordered not to drive while he is out on bail.

Compounding the Russo family's grief, officials say "human error" within New York City's 911 system caused a more than four-minute delay in dispatching an ambulance to help Russo. The Department of Investigation found that the dispatcher may have been distracted.

A broken bumper, smashed car windshield and debris strewn across the road showed the aftermath of a Carlsbad crash that left three pedestrians hospitalized early Saturday.

Carlsbad Police say around 12:45 a.m., a 49-year-old woman driving a white car rammed into three people walking in the northbound lanes of Carlsbad Boulevard, just north of Walnut Avenue.

The pedestrians – two 29-year-old women and one 31-year-old man – suffered unspecified injuries.

Once Oceanside and Carlsbad Fire crews arrived, two of the victims were taken to the hospital by ambulance, and a helicopter landed in the road to transport the third person.

The driver, who remained at the scene of the crash, was ordered to undergo a roadside DUI test.

No arrests have been made because fault still has to be determined, Carlsbad Police say.

The traffic division will continue investigating this incident.
 

Imagine being killed because of your religion. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a radical Islamic group, says this will start happening in Iraq by Saturday and the threat is sending shockwaves through the community of more than 50,000 Chaldeans in the San Diego area.

At St. Michael Chaldean Church in El Cajon, locals are hoping for peace. Chaldeans visit the church in east San Diego by the thousands to pray for the thousands of victims killed in Iraq and people being persecuted because of their religion.

One of the women praying there is Sister Francois.

Though she’s a woman of peace, she fears she will become a target when she returns to Iraq.

Using the little English she speaks, she shared her story with NBC 7 Friday, including why she's risking life and limb to return to her order in Mosul, Iraq.

"My mission is there. I’m nun," she said, speaking through translator Mark Arabo, a San Diego-based Chaldean-American spokesman and community leader.

ISIS is laying down a new law in Iraq, giving Christians like Sister Francois until Saturday to accept: Convert to Islam, pay extra taxes or face death by sword.

With Arabo’s help, Sister Francois talked about seeing others pay the price due to the radical Islamic group.

“They're raping children, beheading mothers and fathers. She hasn’t seen it as bad as it is now,” explained Arabo.

Francois said not even clergy members are safe.

Case in point: After 17 days in captivity, Islamist rebels freed two Chaldean nuns and three young Iraqis in Mosul this week.

“They've taken over almost everything – from freedom to religion. They’re trying to slaughter them,” said Francois.

ISIS is a Sunni-dominated al-Qaeda splinter group. Their goal is to create an Islamic state. Already the United Nations said more than 1,500 civilians died in June as ISIS continues its reign of terror.

For his part, Arabo has been talking to the State Department to get help.

"Short term we’re mapping out a safe passage for 400,000 Christians and minorities alike to Kurdistan and Turkey," he said.
 

Forty-five years ago Sunday, Neil Armstrong announced that man had reached the moon with the words, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

Back in Houston, Charles M. Duke Jr. responded, "Roger, Tranquility. We copy you on the ground. You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We’re breathing again."

• PHOTOS: One Giant Leap: The First Moon Landing 45 Years Later

Duke was so excited he didn’t get "tranquility" quite right -- he later said it came out more like "twangquility."  But he stands by the part about turning blue.

"That is the truth," he said this week. "It was so tense. We had had a lot of problems on the descent and so we were very focused on this, the final stages of landing."

Duke, 78, served as Apollo 11's capsule communicator or capcom, as the lunar module descended to the Sea of Tranquility. Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, known as Buzz, were aboard the Eagle, while Michael Collins remained in orbit.

"We'd had communications problems," Duke recalled. "We had computer overload problems, that gave computer warnings. We had a trajectory that wasn’t correct. Our targeting was wrong and so Neil had to fly over some very rough terrain to get to a suitable landing site, which took a lot more fuel. And so now we're down to the final minute of fuel remaining and so it got very tense as you can imagine at mission control."

Regulations required that the landing be aborted if the fuel went below a certain level, though Duke said he did not believe Armstrong, the mission's commander, would have turned back.

Duke was born in North Carolina, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and received a Master's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in preparation for becoming an astronaut. He later traveled aboard Apollo 16 and was the tenth man to walk on the moon.

Walking on the moon was a ball, he said for a NASA oral history in 1999.

"I found that either the hop or the skip was the best for me," he said. "I put my right foot out front and I just sort of skipped along like that, with one foot out front." 

The Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Sunday will be celebrating the anniversary with special videos and a chance to hear from one of Duke's fellow capsule communicators, Bruce McCandless II. Aldrin has organized a social media campaign, #Apollo45, for the occasion.

Duke, who now lives in New Braunfels, Texas, remembers being intent on making no mistakes during the Eagle's landing.

"Everybody had the attitude, 'if this thing fails, it's not going to be my fault,'" he told NBC.

His team went off duty shortly afterward and he headed home to watch Armstrong's first step on the moon and share his most famous line,"That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

"So I was home like everybody else watching on TV," Duke said.
 

San Diego County’s own Stone Brewing Company is hopping international borders and expanding into Europe, becoming the first American craft brewer to independently own and operate a brewery there.

The Escondido-based company announced plans Saturday to open a production brewery and restaurant in what is arguably the beer capital of the world: Germany.

With a $25 million investment, Stone will transform a two-acre historic gasworks complex in Marienpark – a Berlin suburb – into its World Bistro & Gardens by late 2015 or early 2016.

“This is a historic moment for Stone. I’ve wanted to say these next words for many years now: We’re coming to Europe. We’re coming to Germany. We are coming to Berlin!” said Stone CEO and co-founder Greg Koch in a release.

The space’s main, red-brick hall, built in 1901, will hold a brewhouse, farm-to-table restaurant and retail store for Stone beer and merchandise. The brewhouse should have at least a 70-barrel capacity.

On the same property, a second building will be dedicated to brewing operations, out of which the company’s ales can be packed up and shipped out all over Europe.

A third building will house large gardens to be used as an event space.

Koch and fellow co-founder and President Steve Wagner created Stone in 1996 and have since seen it grow into the tenth largest craft brewer in the U.S.

The duo have wanted to tap into the European market for five years now as demand for Stone brews there grew, and after sending out requests for proposals across the continent, they landed on the Berlin site.

While much of the beer will be made by local ingredients, the founders say they’ll most likely import some American hops to maintain their signature taste.

And with the wealth of competition coming out of Bavaria, Stone’s new brews will be a riff on regional styles as they look for ways to creatively use local ingredients.

But Stone fans don’t need to hop across the pond to drink up the beers brewed in Germany. The company launched an Indigogo crowd-funding campaign to raise at least $1 million. As an incentive, they’re offering three special beers – made in collaboration with other breweries at the Berlin spot –which can be bought at $50 for 1.5 liters.

In addition to its classic IPAs, Stone Berlin will also be pouring craft and specialty beers from other breweries in Germany, Europe and around the word.

Stone is also looking to expand its empire by building an East Coast base of operations, though the exact location has not been released.

 The 27th annual National Stand Down for Homeless Veterans kicked off its second day by honoring the man whose sheer willpower made the event take shape.

On Saturday, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer proclaimed July 19, 2014 to be “Dr. Jon Nachison Day” to recognize the event’s co-founder.

“He represents the best of who we are as San Diegans,” Faulconer said of Nachison. “You could see the outpouring of support and the veterans that know that Dr. John does such a great job every single year.”

Since 1988, Nachison has worked with community leaders to coordinate a weekend during which homeless veterans can get meals, medical and dental care, counseling, picture IDs and other services.

“It was only your vision, your energy, your persistence and really your love for all the people who have participated over all these years that has made this possible," U.S. Congresswoman Susan Davis said to Nachison at the San Diego High School event.

Nachison, who has served as the director of the Veterans Village of San Diego for the past 27 years, provided the inspiration for the aid effort that now happens in more than 200 locations across the U.S. annually.

And after nearly three decades of dedicating his life to helping those who have served our country, Nachison is retiring this year.

The Stand Down philosophy is to give homeless veterans a hand up, not a hand out, by helping to find jobs or shelters for the future.

"We absolutely are America's Finest City, and part of the reason we are is because of how much this city loves our veterans," said Faulconer.

An outdoor festival happening in San Diego’s Embarcadero area will combine two things America’s Finest City is known for: craft beer and Comic-Con.

Those looking to take a load off in the middle of the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con madness will find refreshing respite at the Heroes Brew Craft Beer Festival on Saturday, July 26, at Embarcadero Park North at 500 Kettner Blvd.

The event runs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will feature more than 40 breweries along with food trucks, a costume contest and live music. In the spirit of Comic-Con, attendees are encouraged to attend the beer fest in their best costumes.

While mingling and drinking in the picturesque view, superheroes will get to sip and savor suds from local breweries including Mission Brewery, Green Flash, The Lost Abbey, Ballast Point, Coronado Brewing Co., Pizza Port Brewing Co. and Pacific Beach Alehouse, among dozens of others.

VIP tickets cost $55 per person and include early 3 p.m. access into the festival, plus samplings of specialty beers from each brewery only available for an hour. General admission tickets cost $45 per person, while designated driver tickets, which don’t include beer, cost $20.

Sheriff's detectives are looking for two possibly armed and dangerous persons of interest in the fatal shooting of a Jamaican man in El Cajon last month.

Kevin McCalla, 37, was left to die on an apartment complex's sidewalk at 1475 Graves Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds on June 26. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses told NBC 7 they heard two men arguing just before several shots were fired.

Now, San Diego County Sheriff's detectives say they want to question two persons of interest in the case: Latima Dover and a man known as "Slung." 

Dover -- who also goes by the nickname "Latty" -- is described as a 49-year-old Jamaican man with short hair, 6-foot-1 and 150 pounds.

"Slung" is about 50 years old with black dreadlocks and a distinct Jamaican accent, investigators say.

If you know where these men may be, sheriff's officials warn that you should not contact them yourself, but instead call law enforcement.

Anyone with information about McCalla's death is urged to call 858-974-2321.

Hundreds of thousands draped in rainbow flags took to the streets of Hillcrest Saturday for the 40th annual San Diego Pride Parade, and among them, riding in a silver BMW convertible, sat their inspirational couple of the year.

Dwayne Beebe-Franqui, a U.S. Navy Master Chief, and his husband Jonathan last took part in the parade two years ago – the first year the Department of Defense allowed service members to walk while in uniform.

“It takes a lot of courage to come out here and show you’re pride,” said Dwayne. “I’m so happy we had hundreds of service members here today.”

That was also the year Dwayne got down on one knee.

“He looked so nervous. I've never seen that look on his face before, and it was like time just froze the world just froze. I'll never forget it,” said Jonathan.

Since then, Dwayne organized the first military-wide Pride observance with more than 30 Navy commands at Navy Personnel Command in Tennessee.

The couple was also featured in a DoD video about spousal benefits after the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

“I also love that I have become a role model for LGBT service members so they can know they can also succeed in the Navy and have a good life and also serve their country," said Dwayne.
This year, which marks their first Pride festival as a married couple, Dwayne and Jonathan were joined by an estimated 200 fellow service members.

According to Jonathan, his husband’s promotion to master chief shows the progress gay service members have made in the past few years.

“That sent a really, really good, clear message: walls are falling and walls are being broken down,” said Jonathan.

A motorcyclist was flung under a semi-truck after crashing into a car, prompting a major closure on the southbound Interstate 5 in Oceanside Saturday.

The incident started when the motorcyclist and a Toyota Corolla collided around 8 p.m. just south of Oceanside Boulevard, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The rider was dragged at least 150 feet and was tossed under a semi-truck. The crash blocked all southbound lanes of I-5, forcing the CHP to issue a Sig Alert.

Officers were able to open one lane of traffic about 20 minutes later. By 10 p.m., two more lanes were opened.

The motorcyclist was taken to Scripps La Jolla Hospital with major injuries.

In the market for a new mattress?

Look no further than Bob Manoff’s storage unit business. Yes, a business out of a storage unit. In fact, Mattress Bob (yes, that’s his name) has a collection of 11 Mira Mesa storage units that double as showrooms.

Manoff stays busy thanks to word-of-mouth business or from an ad on Craigslist. Twice a week, he gets a shipment from a Los Angeles mattress maker. He’s got pillow tops, memory foam and organic cotton.

The incentive? Most of Manoff’s mattresses sell from between $100 and $700 depending on the size, so who cares that it isn’t your typical mattress showroom?

• READ: Slain Hostage Left Daughter in Car to Run Into Bank

“At first, they walk down here and they think they’re going to get mugged maybe,” he said. “It’s no frills, but a very pleasant place to do business.”

It's a creative idea, but is it legal?

Yes, Mattress Bob tells us. His business is licensed with the state's Bureau of Home Furnishings, which regulates mattress stores.

As for working out of a storage unit -- or 11 -- he said he has had complaints over the years. The bottom line, though, he said is that he doesn't have the most top of the line mattresses, but he has comfortable mattresses.

Manoff thought the business would last a couple weeks. Now, it’s been open seven years. If you ask him, a storage unit is the perfect business setting, complete with a beach chair in the sun.

“Sometimes you just got to reinvent yourself and reinvent your business to make it work.”

And his customers (at least the folks we met) don't seem to mind the less-than aesthetically-pleasing setting.

"I drove up and I was wondering what the storage unit aspect of it was," said customer Helen Smoole. "But I'm willing to try something new. Why not to save money?

San Diegans gathered Saturday morning to take part in a nationwide protest against immigration reform amid the border crisis.

With American flags and opposition signs in hand, dozens of protesters united along the Interstate 8 overpass in La Mesa near Severin Drive to voice their opinions on illegal immigration.

“We think our border needs to be better protected,” said Ocean Beach resident Lucy Ingalls.

“Crime is coming in, we have disease coming in, we have mothers sending their kids off by themselves to get sick and die on their own and I think that’s a huge crime. I think we need to care about these children,” she continued.

Melanie Kortlang, also opposed to illegal immigration, said that for her, the issue really hits close to home.

“I have suffered the cost of illegal immigration. My daughter was hit and killed by an illegal alien and I made a promise to her that I will not let her be forgotten,” she told NBC 7.

“It’s time that this country takes a stand and says enough is enough. Let’s start taking care of our own kids. We have hungry, homeless children on our streets here. We have our veterans who are dying on the streets,” Kortlang added. “We’ve had enough. It’s time to secure our borders and enforce the laws. Let’s take care of our own first.”

San Diego has been directly impacted by the immigration crisis over the last several weeks after hundreds of undocumented immigrant mothers and children were transferred to San Diego from Texas as part of the federal government’s plan to address the influx of immigrants illegally crossing the U.S. border.

The border crisis continues to divide the nation with people on both sides of the debate.

Patricia Peck who was visiting downtown San Diego Saturday said she supports undocumented immigrants crossing the border, especially if they’re mothers and children. However, Peck pointed out that immigration is a complex problem that can’t be easily resolved.

“This isn’t a real simple issue. You can’t blame the immigrant for thinking that America is the place to come. There’s not a simple answer. These people are scared, they’re hurting and they need to go somewhere,” said Peck.

“Yes, it’s tough for us because we have budget issues in the United States and I totally understand that. But if I was living in Honduras and worried about my kids [illegal immigration] might be something that I’d think about doing,” she added.

Across the U.S. on Saturday, at least 11 organizations opposed to illegal immigration planned to partake in what organizers called the “National Day of Protesting Against Immigration Reform, Amnesty and Border Surge.” The hundreds of nationwide protests were expected to last through Sunday.

When City Commissioner Nicole Murray-Ramirez walks down the street in front of the LGBT Community Center in Hillcrest community, he sees decades of history and the struggle he and fellow leaders have endured to make San Diego’s Pride celebration everything it is today.

Proud of one of his most recent accomplishments of changing the street name in front of the LGBT center to Harvey Milk Street, Murray-Ramirez also reminisces about how far his community has come from the first San Diego Pride 40 years ago.

Inside the center and standing in front of pictures of other local LGBT trailblazers, Ramirez said, back then, it was anything but a party.

“Let’s take the police force. The Chief was known to be racist, homophobic and sexist. The mayor at that time refused to meet us to discuss harassment and the discrimination because he said there weren’t really that many homosexuals in San Diego,” Ramirez recalled.

It wasn’t until the mid-1970s that homosexual acts between consensual adults were legalized. Gays and lesbians were considered by many as deviants.

Ramirez remembers friends committed into mental hospitals for being homosexual and undergoing electric shock therapy. He said they were never the same afterward.

“That was the environment those of us who were out as homosexuals [in the 70s] were in, in San Diego,” he recounted.

In 1974, after being inspired by the Los Angeles Pride demonstration, Ramirez teamed up with military veteran Jess Jessop and attorney Tom Homann.
They wanted to have a Pride march in San Diego, so they went to the police department to request a permit.

But it was anything but easy.

“The sergeant said ‘We’re not issuing you a permit. There will never be a homosexual Pride march or whatever in this city and you guys are deviants and you’re queers, and if you don’t get out of here we’re going to arrest you,’” Ramirez said.

The next day, Ramirez, Jessop, Homann and about 200 gay and lesbian San Diegans marched down Broadway without a permit.

Ramirez remembers feeling afraid as people yelled obscenities and threats at them. It was clear many were shocked homosexuals were marching.

He recalls one officer coming up to them and saying, “We can’t guarantee your safety if anything happens.”

The following year, the three Pride pioneers obtained a permit by threatening to sue the City of San Diego. Every year and decade after that, Pride became more accepted and celebrated.

Four decades later, it’s one of San Diego’s most popular celebrations. Festivities include a rally, block party, music festival and vibrant parade down the streets of Hillcrest that attracts approximately 300,000 spectators every July.

Today, Ramirez said his message to LGBT youth is the same message he has for everyone and that is, “A community or a movement that doesn’t know where it came from doesn’t know where it’s going.”

Jessop and Homann passed away years ago of HIV/AIDS. Ramirez continues to fight for LGBT rights and currently serves as a San Diego appointed city human rights commissioner.

Every day, he fondly remembers his fellow Pride pioneers.
 

A Long Island man returned home from a hospital stay to discover his 15-year-old son dead and his wife suffering from severe head wounds, and now his older son is under arrest, accused of attacking his mother, police said Sunday.

Charles Okonkwo Jr., 18, was arrested on an assault charge after the bloody scene was discovered Saturday in the family's Dix Hills home, Suffolk County police said.

At the teenager's arraignment Sunday, Assistant District Attorney Raphael Pearl said he had "made admissions to hurting" his mother and his brother, 15-year-old Bradley Okonkwo, Newsday reported.

The boys' 62-year-old father called 911 Saturday after he found his wife and son lying motionless. His wife, Chinwe Okonkwo, was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital in serious condition. Officers found the older son near his green BMW not too far from the home.

According to a criminal complaint, the mother "sustained serious trauma including facial fractures and loss of consciousness." She was found "apparently beaten in a puddle of blood near her car," Pearl said, according to Newsday.

The judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation of the teenager, whose lawyer, Eric Besso, called the case "complicated." The 18-year-old has a history of mental health issues.

"There's a lot to be sorted out, that's all I can say," Besso said, according to Newsday.

The 18-year-old kept his head down during the arraignment and did not speak to the judge. He did not enter a plea, Newsday reported.
