JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) -- Multiple agencies are still looking for whoever was involved in a string of crimes that resulted in the death of a 20-year-old after she was struck and killed by a large rock while driving on Wednesday night.“The case itself is just a who done it. We know what happened here," George Brauchler, FOX31/Channel 2 legal analyst, said Friday. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said 20-year-old Alexa Bartell, of Arvada, was driving when one of the suspects threw a large rock either from a vehicle or the side of the road at her car.

How you could help the deadly rock investigation “If I had to make a best guess I would say it's two dudes because this is a special kind of stupid and violent that took place out there on that road," Brauchler said. Investigators said the rock hit Bartell and she was killed. “It's tough because of the area it occurred, there is very little camera coverage. I don’t see any indication there were dash c...

Miami’s Oladipo injures left knee late in Heat playoff game

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:25:33 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Victor Oladipo already left a game on a stretcher once. He refused to do it again on Saturday, even after what seemed like a serious injury.The Miami guard was helped off the court late in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 121-99 playoff win over Milwaukee, after the oft-injured guard appeared to hurt his left knee.A stretcher was wheeled onto the floor to help Oladipo off the court. He wound up walking off himself, with assistance from team personnel. The Heat did not release any preliminary diagnosis, and planned further examination for Sunday.“Once the stretcher was out there, he was like, ‘I’m not getting on that thing,’” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “So, we’ll just have to see. I feel like throwing up right now, but I don’t know what the prognosis is. I’m going to stay positive and we’ll just see what happens after we scan him tomorrow.”Oladipo was driving down the lane when he appeared to slip as he went airborne. He landed ne...

Winderman’s view: Are Herro-less Heat better than Giannis-less Bucks? Looked that way Saturday

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:25:33 GMT

Observations and other notes of interest from Saturday night’s 121-99 NBA playoff victory over the Milwaukee Bucks:– This is not the series as advertised.– Not with Giannis Antetokounmpo missing the first 2 1/2 games with a lower-back contusion.– And possibly missing more.– So, no, not your typical No. 1 vs. No. 8.– But with this where it stands, and with no guarantees of when or if there is an Antetokounmpo return it begs the question:– Is the Bucks’ roster without Giannis better than the Heat’s current roster without Tyler Herro?– Giannis might be back at any time.– Herro won’t, out until June, if there is a June for the Heat, with his broken hand.– With Jimmy Butler, as long as Giannis is out, the Heat have the best player in the series.– (Provided his hard fall in Saturday’s third period doesn’t change that equation.)– But to do ultimate damage, the Heat can’t leave it as ...

Orioles win 5th straight, 5-1 over Tigers, as Kyle Gibson continues streak of strong starts

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:25:33 GMT

Kyle Gibson on Saturday wasn’t the pitcher the Orioles paid $10 million for this offseason.He was much more than that.Gibson, an 11-year veteran with a reputation as a pitch-to-contact innings-eater, struck out 11 batters to tie his career high in the Orioles’ 5-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. The 35-year-old right-hander allowed just two hits and one run in 6 1/3 innings to continue Baltimore’s streak of stupendous outings from its starters.“He was lights-out,” catcher James McCann said. “I’ve had to face him enough in my career, getting to catch [him] is a lot more fun.”The start is easily Gibson’s best as an Oriole. The only run he allowed was a home run with one out in the seventh. His 6 1/3 innings before the solo homer extended the scoreless streak by Orioles starters to 30, and the quality start was the club’s fourth straight, joining Dean Kremer, Kyle Bradish and Tyler Wells. The Orioles have allowed just two runs in...
