(Aliquippa, PA) Nineteen-year-old Lamar Seymour of Aliquippa was sentenced yesterday to spend nineteen to forty years in jail for killing a fifteen-year-old boy in Aliquippa on July 8th, 2023. Seymour shot the teen, which ended up killing him that day as the victim was leaving a party near Knoll and Main roads in Aliquippa. Both Seymour and the victim were students at Aliquippa High School at the time of the murder and Seymour pleaded guilty to third-degree homicide on September 5th, 2025 in the case in exchange for some other charges being withdrawn.

(AP) Former NFL star Antonio Brown has been arrested on an attempted murder charge stemming from a shooting after a celebrity boxing event in Miami, police confirmed Thursday.
Brown, 37, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Dubai, said Miami police spokesman Mike Vega. He was flown to Essex County, New Jersey, where he is being held pending extradition to Miami, Vega said.
It was unclear why Brown was taken to New Jersey first or how long he had been in Dubai, although he has posted several times on social media over the past few months from there.
According to an arrest warrant detailing the May 16 shooting, Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after the boxing match and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. The victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, told investigators one of the bullets grazed his neck.
It was unclear from court documents whether Brown has an attorney. It also was not immediately known when Brown might be returned to Miami.
A second-degree attempted murder charge carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence and up to a $10,000 fine in the event of a conviction.
Brown, who spent 12 years in the NFL, was an All-Pro wide receiver who last played in 2021 for Tampa Bay but spent most of his career with Pittsburgh. For his career, Brown had 928 receptions for more than 12,000 yards and 83 touchdowns.
Brown has dealt with several legal problems over the years. He previously had been accused of battery of a moving truck driver, several domestic violence charges, failure to pay child support and other incidents. During a 2021 game with Tampa Bay against the New York Jets, Brown took off his jersey, shoulder pads and gloves and ran off the field, leading to his release by the Buccaneers and effectively ending his football career.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby scored twice and Bryan Rust delivered the go-ahead goal midway through the third period as the Pittsburgh Penguins edged Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals 5-3 on Thursday night.
The 39-year-old Crosby’s two first-period power-play goals boosted his season total to an NHL-best 11. Rust’s fifth of the season helped the Penguins avoid a second straight collapse. Anthony Mantha picked up his seventh of the year for Pittsburgh. Connor Dewar added an empty-net goal in the final minutes.
Rookie Ben Kindel collected the first two assists of his young career for the Penguins. Arturs Silovs made 28 saves as Pittsburgh stopped a two-game skid.
Ovechkin fueled a second-period rally by collecting a pair of assists the night after becoming the first player to reach the 900-goal plateau.
Ryan Strome, Tom Wilson and Rasmus Sandin scored for the Capitals, but the 99th all-time meeting between longtime rivals Crosby and Ovechkin ended with the surprising Penguins maintaining their composure after blowing a three-goal lead.
Pittsburgh has been an early-season surprise under first-year coach Dan Muse, though the Penguins’ hot start hit a bump on Monday when two dominant periods in Toronto morphed into a third-period meltdown in which the Maple Leafs ripped off four straight goals to pull off a stunner.
Not this time. Pittsburgh’s second-ranked power play scored three times, including a pair by Crosby in the first.
Pittsburgh appeared to be in firm control when Mantha pushed Pittsburgh’s lead to 3-0 just over 2 minutes into the second.
Washington responded by scoring three times, the last a nifty shot from his knees by Tom Wilson that tied the game 5 seconds before the horn sounded to end the period.
The Penguins steadied themselves, and Rust put them ahead to stay with a pretty redirect off a cross-ice feed from Evgeni Malkin.

(Pittsburgh, PA) Chef Kristin Butterworth, a three-time semi-finalist for the James Beard award, was called up to be the Executive Chef for the new Italian restaurant Cork & Crust, which will be the newest dining spot at the Oaklander Hotel in Pittsburgh coming soon. This hotel in the Steel City picked Butterworth because of her previous experience, which includes working at the restaurant Lautrec at Nemacolin Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania. Butterworth became the first female chef in the United States of America to have her work elevate a restaurant to both a Forbes Five Star restaurant and a AAA Five Diamond Restaurant at the same time for her work at Lautrec.
(Washington, D.C.) According to a release today from Congressman Chris Deluzio’s office, Deluzio (PA-17) announced today that his Public Service Worker Protection Act is gaining momentum and now has 50 co-sponsors, including his Republican co-lead on the measure, Pennsylvania Republican Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01). This bill seeks to give an expansion to the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) to include all workers in the public sector under its defined safety protections on the job. The milestone of this legislation acheiving fifty co-sponsors is also occurring during the shutdown of the federal government of the United States of America, which is leaving federal workers totaling tens of thousands either working without pay or furloughed.

Cain is a recipient of two BMI songwriter awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Journey.
Journey travels to Pittsburgh in 2026.
“This tour is our heartfelt thank-you to the fans who’ve been with us every step of the way — through every song, every era, every high and low,” Schon said. “We’re pulling out all the stops with a brand-new production — the hits, the deep cuts, the energy, the spectacle. It’s a full-circle celebration of the music that’s brought us all together.
“As its founding member, I carry the Journey torch to this day, wherever I go. The sentiment and spirit of the band will always remain,” Schon added. “While this marks a farewell to one powerful chapter of the Journey we’ve shared, I want everyone to know I’m not done. Music is still burning strong inside me, and there are new creative horizons ahead. This tour is both a thank-you and the beginning of what’s next.”
“It’s been an incredible ride,” added Cain, “We’ve shared our music with millions and this tour is about gratitude, connection and one last chance to feel that magic together. We wouldn’t want it any other way.”
“I’m honored to be part of this legacy and I’m grateful for having been welcomed with such open arms,” Pineda said. “Every night on stage has been a dream come true.”
