Overcrowded migrant vessel with 240 people on board intercepted near Turks and Caicos
An overcrowded migrant vessel carrying 240 people and taking on water was intercepted near the Turks and Caicos Islands after authorities raced to prevent a potential maritime disaster.
The U.S. Coast Guard said it conducted a joint operation Sunday with U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations and the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF) to stop a vessel carrying hundreds of migrants who claimed Haitian nationality.
According to a Coast Guard news release, authorities received a report of "an unlawful migrant voyage" approximately 15 miles south of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Video released by the Coast Guard shows responding crews assisting local authorities as they secured and towed the overcrowded vessel.

The Turks and Caicos Islands Border Force later took custody of the vessel and its passengers, the Coast Guard said.
More than 140 personnel participated in the operation, according to the agency.
"The successful interdiction and safe removal of these individuals from a perilous situation was made possible by the close collaboration and swift response of the Coast Guard, CBP AMO personnel, and authorities from the Turks and Caicos Islands," Lt. Chelsea Garcia, deputy director of Coast Guard Operations Bahamas and Turks and Caicos, said in a statement.

"We strongly advise anyone considering participating in an unlawful maritime migration attempt to reconsider," Garcia continued. "These journeys are extremely hazardous, frequently involving severely overcrowded and unseaworthy vessels that are often taking on water and lack basic life-saving equipment."
Garcia encouraged would-be migrants to pursue "safe, legal, and orderly avenues" rather than "risking their lives at sea."
The Department of Homeland Security also reacted to footage of the operation on social media.

"OUR BORDERS ARE CLOSED," the agency wrote on X. "Whether by land or sea — if you try to enter our nation illegally, we will hunt you down and find you."
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott shared images from the interdiction and praised the cooperation between the Coast Guard and its international partners.
"The overcrowded vessel was taking on water and in danger of sinking," Scott wrote on X.
"Our personnel helped prevent what could have been a catastrophic loss of life while stopping yet another illegal migration attempt," he continued. "The message remains clear: illegal maritime migration is dangerous, it is not worth the risk, and you will not gain entry into the US."
The operation comes months after the Coast Guard and CBP intercepted multiple suspected smuggling vessels off the California coast, resulting in the apprehension of 60 people aboard three boats.

Karmelo Anthony defense, prosecutors wage first-impression war as emotions rock opening of trial: expert
Jurors in the Karmelo Anthony murder trial heard a frantic 911 call, watched surveillance footage and listened to emotional testimony Thursday from coaches and trainers who tried to save Austin Metcalf after the Texas teenager was stabbed at a high school track meet.
Anthony, 19, has pleaded not guilty to murder in the April 2025 stabbing death of Metcalf and maintains he acted in self-defense. The case has drawn national attention and intense public scrutiny since the fatal encounter.
Texas defense attorney and legal analyst Jeremy Rosenthal told Fox News Digital that the first day of testimony highlighted the central battle jurors will have to resolve — whether Anthony's actions were criminal or legally justified as self-defense.
"The defense is accepting part of the burden here because if they want the jury instructed on self-defense, they have to prove up that split-second statement," Rosenthal said.
Rosenthal also noted that opening statements can have an outsized impact on jurors.
"Eighty percent of jurors make up their mind at opening statement and they never change it," he said, citing trial advocacy studies.
Controversy has engulfed the case, and tensions rose after a jury was selected on Wednesday with no Black jurors.
On Thursday, supporters of both Anthony and Metcalf sparring in a shouting match outside the courthouse, holding signs, yelling profanities and antagonizing each other.

Collin County prosecutor Bill Wirskyke called the stabbing a "provoked unjustified murder" and told jurors, "This case has nothing to do with race. This case is not self-defense."
Defense attorney Mike Howard argued Anthony reacted in a "split second of fear and chaos" and urged jurors to focus on the evidence rather than the public narrative that has developed around the case.

Jurors viewed surveillance footage from multiple cameras around Kuykendall Stadium and later listened to a 911 call placed in the moments after the stabbing.
The caller reported that CPR was underway and that an athlete had been stabbed and was losing consciousness.

NBC 5 reported that voices in the background could be heard urging Metcalf to keep fighting, while another person said, "There's a lot of blood. He's not breathing."
The outlet reported that Metcalf's final gasp for air could be heard on the recording.
As the call played, Metcalf's family could be heard crying. Anthony had his eyes closed during most of the 7-minute call.
Rosenthal said the surveillance footage could become one of the most important pieces of evidence presented during the trial.
"In the 21st century, I think jurors really expect there to be some type of video evidence, either surveillance or cell phone," he said.

Memorial High School athletic trainer Tiffany Whiteaker testified that she rushed to help Metcalf and performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
She said she saw a commotion and heard screaming in the stands, and a student ran up to her saying, "he stabbed him and threw the knife in the stands," pointing at Anthony.
Whitaker testified that she got in front of Anthony, put her hands up and told coach Vincent Hooper to not let him leave.
She said she performed CPR and used an AED until paramedics arrived and Metcalf was taken to hospital, where he later died.

The state later called Joshua Rebmann, an Army veteran and football coach who was among the first adults to reach Metcalf.
Rebmann used his military training to try to save the teen before concluding he would not survive.
"Stay with me, Austin. Stay with me, Austin," he was heard saying in the background of the 911 call, FOX 4 reported. "Come on, Austin. Come on, Austin."

Heritage High School coach Vincent Hooper testified that Anthony told him, "He put his hands on me. I stabbed him."
Hooper also testified that Anthony became emotional after he warned him that if Metcalf died, he would have changed his life forever.
"Well you know if he dies you change your life for the rest of your life," Hooper said he told Anthony.
"He won’t die," Anthony replied, according to Hooper.
Memorial High School track coach Robert Starr became emotional while describing finding Metcalf wounded.
"You just don't go into someone else's tent uninvited," Starr testified, referring to team tents at track meets.
As testimony resumes Friday, Rosenthal said one of the key questions will be whether witnesses closest to the confrontation tell a consistent story.
"I sort of view this case like a rock thrown into a pond," Rosenthal said. "You've got the epicenter, and then you've got all the ripples out."
"What's going to be interesting is, what's the one person who gets up there and goes against the grain and says something that nobody else has said?" he added.
Additional witnesses are expected to testify Friday as prosecutors continue building their case and jurors continue weighing Anthony's self-defense claim.

Rubio sanctions Cuban groups with ties to US nonprofit network funded by communist donor Neville Roy Singham
Secretary of State Marco Rubio put U.S. organizations on notice: they can no longer do business with a key Cuban organization that has spent over six decades – since the launch of Fidel Castro's communist revolution in 1959 – cultivating relationships with U.S. activists and groups, many of them now funded by communist American tycoon Neville Roy Singham.
The sanctions target the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, known by its Spanish acronym ICAP, an organization founded by Castro in 1960 to spread Marxist ideology and support for Cuba. Long ago, U.S. officials and intelligence assessments concluded ICAP is a key component of Cuba's intelligence apparatus.
"For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism," Rubio said. "The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond."
REVOLUTIONARY TOURISM: INSIDE THE $600M MARRIAGE OF DARK MONEY AND FAR-LEFT AGITPROP
Earlier this year, ICAP worked with U.S. nonprofits, including the People's Forum, Progressive International and CodePink, to organize a March "convoy" that included controversial Marxist streamer Hasan Piker landing in Cuba to support Cuba's communist party.
The trip has since attracted federal scrutiny, with CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin confirming she received questions from federal officials about the trip, investigating whether she violated sanctions.
Late last month, Fox News Digital published a three-part series, reporting that federal investigators are examining Cuba's alleged malign foreign influence operation in the U.S., investigating a network of 145 groups with collective revenues of about $1 billion, promoting Cuba's agenda and communist ideology.
"Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations," Rubio said.
The groups working closely with ICAP include the People's Forum, CodePink, BreakThrough News and Tricontinental, funded by Singham, a Marxist tech tycoon living in Shanghai. As reported, Singham has pumped $285 million into nonprofits since 2017 that have built very close relationships with ICAP and the communist government of Cuba.
Singham is married to CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans.
ICAP is today led by Fernando González Llort, one of five former Cuban intelligence officers, known as the "Cuban Five," convicted in the U.S. years ago on espionage-related charges and released after spending time in jail.
Critics say ICAP acts as a gateway for revolutionaries from around the world to get embedded in the propaganda, organizing tactics and strategic goals of the Communist Party of Cuba. ICAP has denied wrongdoing and says it's a civil society organization.
ICAP was one of five entities that Rubio designated as off-limits under sanctions authorities established by President Donald Trump's Cuba executive order. The sanctions also target Cuba's Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (MINFAR), the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), Minera La Victoria S.A. and the state-run tourism company Amistur Cuba S.A., which has arranged trips to Cuba with U.S. nonprofits in the Singham network.
Experts said the move signals that the Trump administration is focused not only on the Cuban government but also on U.S. institutions that U.S. officials believe help project Cuban influence internationally.
A declassified CIA report from the Cold War era, "Cuba: Castro's Propaganda Apparatus and Foreign Policy," described Cuba's international propaganda and influence activities as a central component of Castro's foreign policy strategy. The report named ICAP among organizations that act as important instruments for cultivating sympathetic political movements abroad and extending Cuban influence beyond the island.
One of the most notable examples was the Venceremos Brigade, a Cuba solidarity program established in 1969 that brought generations of American activists to the island through exchanges organized with Cuban authorities and institutions including ICAP.
The program became one of the most visible pipelines connecting American activists to the Cuban revolutionary government.
Today, the Venceremos Brigade operates as a fiscally-sponsored project of the People's Forum.
Lawmakers and federal authorities are examining whether organizations funded by Singham have acted on behalf of foreign interests without properly registering and have helped amplify messaging favorable to the Chinese Communist Party and the Communist Party of Cuba.
During the recent convoy in March, Progressive International co-founder David Adler appeared alongside Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and ICAP President González at an official event hosted by ICAP.
Years ago, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass participated in Venceremos Brigade trips, a connection that her mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt resurfaced during her campaign. Bass has denied any wrongdoing.
Supporters of such exchanges describe them as educational and humanitarian programs intended to foster international understanding. Critics argue they function as political influence operations designed to build support for the Cuban regime and its ideological objectives.
The Cuban government condemned Rubio's sanctions shortly after the announcement.
President Miguel Díaz-Canel accused the United States of escalating economic pressure against Cuba and attempting to intensify tensions between the two countries.
"The Treasury Department has added new names of Cuban leaders, organizations and companies to an illegitimate sanctions list," Díaz-Canel wrote on social media. "They are aimed at reinforcing the blockade measures and the scenario of conflict between Cuba and the United States."
Rubio's warning extended beyond the sanctioned entities.
The action signals that the administration is increasingly focused on the networks, partnerships and influence channels that U.S. officials believe have helped advance Cuban interests abroad long after the Cold War officially ended.
"Anyone providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of sanctions themselves," he said. "Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities should freeze those activities."

Seth Jarvis scores overtime game-winner as Hurricanes storm back from 2-0 deficit to even Stanley Cup Final
The Carolina Hurricanes have evened up the Stanley Cup Final in thrilling fashion, coming back from down 2-0 to win in overtime, 4-3.
It was Seth Jarvis, who has been criticized for not having his usual production in the playoffs, hammering home a power-play one-timer to send the crowd into a frenzy as the Hurricanes salvaged a home game before heading on the road.
This game looked like another chapter in Brett Howden's surprising playoff run. The Golden Knights forward scored just 12 goals during the regular season, but his two-goal performance in this contest brought his postseason total to 13. He is in clear contention for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player in the playoffs.

His first goal of this game was from a nifty Mitch Marner floater down ice. It’s unknown if he was trying to find Howden on the other end, or just clearing his own zone, but it worked out as Howden settled the puck and was quick to snap a wrister past Frederik Anderson.
Then, just after a power play ended for Vegas, Ivan Barbashev, who scored in Game 1’s victory, found Howden streaking toward the offensive zone and put the puck right on his stick. Howden, riding high throughout these playoffs, made a tremendous move and deked out Anderson for his second goal of the game.
NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS BETTING GUIDE: WHY THE HURRICANES ARE THE PICK TO BEAT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS
The Lenovo Center crowd was silenced, as Howden’s heroics gave the Golden Knights a 2-0 lead heading into the third period. But the Stanley Cup Playoffs have a way of getting weird, and Game 2 was proof of that with a back-and-forth battle between these two teams.
Midway through the third, the Hurricanes got the goal they needed from Logan Stankoven on a hard-fought battle behind the net for a puck, which he turned into a wraparound shot past Carter Hart. It got the crowd back into the contest, and Carolina used it to their advantage.
It was Mark Jankowski getting his first goal of the playoffs joining a rush similar to Marner’s flip down ice to Howden earlier in the game. Eric Robinson was trying to get the puck to William Cartier, and a pinball effect saw it land right in front of Jankowski, who fired it off the right post and into the net. Just like that — tie game in Carolina.
With the game hanging in the balance, both teams pressed for the winner. Vegas was trying to grab a 2-0 series lead before returning home for Games 3 and 4, while Carolina was looking to protect home ice and avoid heading on the road down two games.
It looked as if Carolina was going to fulfill the comeback, as Jordan Staal tipped home a shot from Shayne Gostisbehere during a power play that came after the Golden Knights challenged a potential goal on a sprawling save by Anderson. It was a risky move by head coach John Tortorella, and it backfired with 4:35 left in the game as Carolina took the 3-2 lead.
But Vegas found itself on the power play shortly thereafter. However, the ‘Canes played it perfectly, with the Golden Knights only getting one shot off before killing it and getting back to even strength. Vegas had no choice but to pull Hart from the net, allowing them the extra skater.
Then, Mark Stone, the Golden Knights’ captain, said not so fast, batting a puck past Anderson following a Marner shot to tie the game at three apiece with less than two minutes to play in the game. And upon video replay, it was Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin who accidentally hit the puck into Anderson, bouncing it off his shoulder and pushing it into the net.
Overtime was needed as a result, and the first break in the extra period came after Tomas Hertl, the game-winning goal scorer in Game 1, was called for tripping, sending the Hurricanes to the power play once again.
Carolina made it hurt, and now Game 3 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas should be a fun one to watch as this series has gotten off to a high-octane start.

Aaron Judge officially out indefinitely with stress fracture in huge blow to Yankees' title hopes
The New York Yankees might be the best team in the American League in 2026.
First baseman Ben Rice has been one of the best hitters in baseball through the first third of the season. Gerrit Cole is finally back on a big league mound for the first time since 2024. Cam Schlitter has been outstanding, Cody Bellinger has been excellent in his second season in the Bronx.
But it's no secret that the Yankees will only go as far as Aaron Judge takes them. The all-world superstar, early on in the season, looked like he might be on his way to another record-setting season. But he slumped, at least by his standards, in May, putting up "just" an .805 OPS.
On Thursday, we might have found out why.
NEW YORK YANKEES GET BAD NEWS ON AARON JUDGE'S MYSTERIOUS INJURY: 'WE JUST WANT CLARITY'
Judge, for the first time this season, didn't play in Tuesday's game. And the Yankees weren't exactly forthcoming as to why. On Wednesday, Aaron Boone admitted there was some uncertainty as to what exactly the problem was.
"He’s going back for some more imaging," the Yankees manager told reporters after Wednesday's game. "They just want to get some more specific spots, and so we’ll have more on that later."
"We just want clarity on what we’re exactly dealing with," he added. "Then we can set the course of action and kind of have an idea what the timeline is going to be."
On Thursday, they got that clarity. And while it could have been worse for New York, it also could have been much better.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
The Yankees announced late Thursday evening that Judge had been diagnosed with a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side. It's expected to keep him out indefinitely, though he'll be re-examined in around 4-6 weeks to see how he's progressing. Not ideal.
But the silver lining for the Yankees organization and their fans is that "Judge is expected to return at some point this season," per the team's statement.
New York has the advantage of playing in a weak American League, all but guaranteeing a postseason spot. Even without Judge for much of the rest of the season. But the surprising Tampa Bay Rays are holding on to first in the AL East, and losing out on the division could jeopardize a potential first round bye. And of course, if he doesn't heal as hoped, this could turn into a season-ending injury.
Still, if Judge recovers and returns before October, he immediately makes the Yankees a legitimate World Series threat. Even while hurt, he remained one of baseball's most dangerous hitters. At full strength, he's a game-changing force.
Caitlin Clark ties her own WNBA record as Fever move past drama with win over Angel Reese, Dream
Looks like the fire's been put out in Indiana.
Caitlin Clark delivered another historic performance Thursday night, helping lead the Indiana Fever to an 83-71 victory over Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream while tying a WNBA record she already held herself.
With 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists, Clark became the fastest player in league history to reach 150+ points and 50+ assists in a season.
The player CC tied? Herself, matching the ridiculous pace she established last year.
The milestone came just days after Clark and Fever head coach Stephanie White became the talk of the WNBA following a heated exchange during Indiana's loss to the Portland Fire.
White drew heavy backlash for sitting Clark down in a game where the star guard was largely ineffective, and the optics of benching the face of the league sparked so much backlash that some fans even began calling for the coach's job.
Before taking the court Thursday, Clark sought to quiet the noise.
CAITLIN CLARK FANS ERUPT AT HEAD COACH STEPHANIE WHITE AFTER FEVER BLOWOUT LOSS TO PORTLAND FIRE
"Personally, I’m doing great. I don’t really read that stuff. I know everybody can have an opinion and people make me aware. … But I’m not sitting on Twitter or social media reading those things," Clark said ahead of tip-off.
Still, the noise from that bad Portland loss loomed large as the Fever took the floor at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to face longtime nemesis Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream.
That tension briefly resurfaced when fans on social media grew frustrated with White after she failed to challenge a questionable foul call on Clark.
But when it mattered most, Clark sent a clear message.
While the Fever were putting together a 16-3 run to build a 58-46 lead, Clark rushed over to White and gave her an emphatic chest bump, a public show that things appear just fine between player and coach.
That second-half surge helped propel Indiana to an 83-71 win over Atlanta. Clark benefited from dominant performances by teammates Kelsey Mitchell (25 points) and Aliyah Boston (19 points).
On the other side, despite shooting a paltry 4-of-9 from the field, Angel Reese still managed to secure a double-double, scoring 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. With the victory, Clark improved her career WNBA record to 5-1 against Reese.
The moment with Clark during a historic bounce-back performance was about as good an outcome as Stephanie White could have hoped for in quieting critics. However, the pressure hasn't evaporated entirely.
The win brings the Fever to a modest 5-4 through 9 games, leaving some to still wonder if White's schemes are maximizing the full potential of Indiana's loaded roster.

'I don't know what to do': Scottie Scheffler goes after his caddie during rare meltdown at the Memorial
Scottie Scheffler is the best golfer in the world, and rapidly heading towards all-time greatness. But even the best of the best have their days. Thursday was one of them for the world No. 1.
Scheffler's 2026 season, while hardly disastrous, has yet to reach the heights of his previous two years. In 2024, it seemed like he won every time he started, bringing home The Players, The Masters, the Memorial Tournament, the Tour Championship, and of course, Olympic gold.
He followed that up in 2025 by winning two majors, the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow and The Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
While he won his first start in 2026, The American Express in Palm Springs, his results since have been a frustrating mix of top-5s and near misses. He was T3 at the WM Phoenix Open. T4 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Finished a solo second at The Masters by shooting 65-68 on the weekend. Lost in a playoff at the RBC Heritage, then finished second at the Cadillac Championship. While he was squarely in the mix at the PGA Championship, his 71-71 on Friday and Saturday meant he fell short of defending his 2025 win. He then followed that up with a third place at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
But this week is the Memorial at Muirfield Village, a course renowned for its difficulty, which typically allows the best players, like Scheffler, to separate from the field. Unsurprisingly, he's won two years in a row and finished third in 2023 and 2021.
Thursday's opening round started strong, with Scheffler finishing the front nine at -2. But the back nine was a struggle, and on the par 3 16th hole it boiled over.
He bogeyed 10 and bogeyed 14 to sink back to even par, then stared down a difficult pin on 16. But in a rare sight for Scheffler, he came up well short, with his tee shot bouncing into the water. He'd eventually make double bogey, but most surprising was his immediate reaction and frustration with caddie Ted Scott.
Scheffler was clearly agitated, then was heard yelling after Scott, "I don't know what to do. I can't hear a word you're saying. I feel like that was a good shot, now I'm in the water."
He was also overheard saying "I absolutely flush a seven iron, and we get the wind wrong, and I'm in the water."
"I don't think you understand how frustrating that is," he added.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
"I don't understand. I really don't. I mean, it was 5 yards short of the green. Flush 7-iron...I've hit good shots and dropping from hazards because we got the wind wrong," he said. Even after hitting his shot from the drop zone, Scheffler kept going, though with less audible audio.
After the round, he explained his frustration to reporters.
"That's just another really good iron shot, and the wind switched from down off the right to pretty significantly in off the right," Scheffler said.
"If it's down off the right, that ball's probably where I hit my wedge shot to. So just don't really know what I'm supposed to do there outside of trying to hit a good shot, and then it's frustrating when it doesn't work out, especially when it doesn't work out in that direction.
"I would rather get gusted in off the left, not in off the right there. All you can do is just try to hit good shots. It can be very frustrating sometimes when you feel like you're hitting good shots and then you're going to the drop zone."
Scheffler did wind up with birdie on the par 4 17th hole, carding a +1 on the day, putting him six shots back of the leaders. Guess it's encouraging to know that even the best in the world gets this frustrated with golf.
New Jersey man accused of killing wife with barbell allegedly confessed in messages to relatives: report
A New Jersey man accused of killing his wife with a barbell allegedly admitted to the slaying in messages to family members, detailed a "long-simmering hatred" toward her in an email and then attempted suicide after fleeing the scene, according to court records.
Michael A. Kless, 67, was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of his wife, 66-year-old Stacy E. Kless, Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago announced last Friday.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed in Monmouth County, Ocean Township police received a call at approximately 9:32 a.m. on May 27 from an individual who reported that Kless had contacted him and said he had killed his wife and intended to kill himself.
A second caller contacted police about 14 minutes later and reported that Kless had sent an email admitting he had murdered his mother, the affidavit states.
NEW JERSEY NURSE GUNNED DOWN AT WORK BY ESTRANGED HUSBAND IN MURDER-SUICIDE: POLICE
Investigators later reviewed the email and said it described a "long-simmering hatred" toward Stacy Kless, referenced a new romantic relationship with a woman from Central America and included details of the killing that matched evidence found at the scene, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit states that workers scheduled to perform repairs at the residence arrived at approximately 9:05 a.m. and encountered Kless outside the home.
Investigators said the workers observed a scratch and blood on Kless' face. He allegedly refused to allow them inside and asked that the appointment be rescheduled.
Ocean Township police officers responded to the couple's home on Seward Drive and forced entry into the residence to check on the occupants' welfare.
Officers found Stacy Kless dead in the basement with a barbell resting across her neck and throat, according to court records. She was pronounced dead later that morning.
DOCTOR’S WIFE TESTIFIES HE BEAT HER WITH ROCK, TRIED TO FORCE HER TOWARD CLIFF EDGE DURING HIKE
Along with first-degree murder, Kless has been charged with third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and fourth-degree unlawful possession of a weapon. Prosecutors identified the weapon as a barbell.
Court records indicate investigators classified the case as involving domestic violence and determined Kless allegedly attempted to or did strangle the victim during the incident.
Authorities allege Kless fled the residence after the killing. Investigators tracked his vehicle traveling north on the Garden State Parkway before he allegedly contacted another individual and said he was attempting to overdose on medication at a rest stop, according to the affidavit.
HUSBAND ACCUSED OF KILLING WIFE SAYS HE HEARD LAUGHTER, THEN SCREAMS BEFORE FINDING HER DYING
The couple's two adult children later provided investigators with text messages that authorities said contained admissions from their father regarding their mother's death.
Court records also show investigators seized multiple electronic devices, including phones, during the investigation.
Kless remains hospitalized and is in the custody of the Monmouth County Jail, according to Santiago.
Despite the charges, Kless is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
Trump announces 'rally to end all rallies' in DC to celebrate America's 250th anniversary
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will hold a massive rally in Washington, D.C., later this month to kick off the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration.
Trump said in a Truth Social post that the event would feature guest speakers and musical performances as part of what he described as a "rally to end all rallies."
"On Wednesday, June 24th, at 7 P.M., in magnificent Washington, D.C., now totally beautified, and one of the Safest Cities anywhere in the World, and in celebration of our Country’s 250 Year History, we will be bringing you, LIVE, the Greatest Rally, EVER!" Trump wrote.
"It will be special at every level — A Rally to end all Rallies!" Trump continued. "We don’t want singers with no talent, but big fees to put you to sleep, we’ve told them all to stay home. All we want is you, me, a few speakers, and the Greatest Music ever played, the same Music you have listened to for years!"
TRUMP-BACKED MEGA EVENT TO BRING ALL 50 STATES TO DC IN WORLD’S FAIR-STYLE BASH
The announcement comes days after Trump floated the idea of replacing a planned Freedom 250 concert with a MAGA rally after several performers withdrew from the event.
Trump previously suggested scrapping the Freedom 250 concerts, which are part of the Great American State Fair, a 16-day festival scheduled to run from June 25 through July 10 on the National Mall as part of the nation’s America 250 celebrations.
The fair is being organized by Freedom 250, a nonprofit aligned with Trump and working alongside the White House Task Force 250.
MARTINA MCBRIDE CALLED A 'COWARD' AFTER DROPPING OUT OF AMERICA 250 CELEBRATION
While the concerts have not been canceled, Freedom 250 previously announced that Trump would headline the opening ceremony.
After the lineup was unveiled in May, several performers — including Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Young MC, The Commodores and Morris Day — announced they would no longer participate.
Other artists, including Vanilla Ice, have publicly reaffirmed their plans to perform.
VANILLA ICE DOUBLES DOWN ON FREEDOM 250 AFTER ARTIST EXODUS: 'ONCE YOU COMMIT, YOU DON'T QUIT'
In an interview with Fox News Digital this week, Vanilla Ice said he remains "100%" committed to the event and that criticism directed at participating performers has only strengthened his resolve to take part.
Trump also announced that country singer Lee Greenwood would introduce him at the rally and perform his hit song, "God Bless the U.S.A."
Opera singer Christopher Macchio is expected to perform several songs, including "Nessun Dorma," "Hallelujah," "Ave Maria" and "God Bless America," Trump said.
The president added that multiple military ensembles will also perform.
"The Rally will also be featuring the wonderful U.S. Army Band 'Pershing’s Own' and Armed Forces Choir, and 'The President’s Own' Unites States Marine Band, with the Joint Armed Forces Chorus, all of your favorite Hits, PLUS a fine and highly dignified gentleman known as, President DONALD J. TRUMP!" he wrote.

In a recent Instagram post, the 29-year-old model posted a campaign for her skincare and beauty brand, Rhode, featuring photos of her on the beach in a bikini with some of her products.
Among the campaign photos, Hailey also included a behind the scenes picture of her laying down on the sand in a brown bikini, which highlighted her toned abs.
She paired the bikini with a dark brown cropped long-sleeve cover-up, and gave the camera a serious look as she flashed a thumbs up.

"It’s hailey’s world and we’re just living in it 🤎," one fan wrote in the comments section. Another added, "the most beautiful in the world 🤎."
"She really does just get more iconic everyday and more gorgeous and radiant, HAILEY BIEBER YOU ARE THAT GIRL," a third follower wrote.
Hailey launched Rhode in June 2022 with three products: the Peptide Glazing Fluid, the Barrier Restore Cream and the Peptide Lip Treatment. She has gone on to release other makeup and skincare products.
It quickly grew in popularity and was acquired by e.l.f. in May 2025, with Bieber staying on as chief creative officer and head of innovation.
"When I launched @rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing to me is to keep bringing rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally," she announced on Instagram. "So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with e.l.f. Beauty as we step into this next chapter in the world of rhode."
This is far from the first time Hailey dared to bare, as she walked the red carpet at the Australian premiere of "Wuthering Heights" in February in a figure-hugging lacy sheer black floor-length Saint Laurent dress that showcased her underwear.

Most recently, Hailey cheered her husband, Justin Bieber, on as he headlined at Coachella in April. Critics online panned Justin's performance, calling it his "worst performance."
Fans took issue with the second half of his act, which featured him singing along to his old songs as he played their music videos on YouTube.
"I'm crying this might actually be the worst performance i’ve ever seen. He’s literally just playing music videos from youtube… zero effort, just pure laziness," one user wrote on X.
"What the hell is justin bieber doing bro you’re telling me he was the highest paid to do this bulls---?" another added. Justin was reportedly paid $10 million to headline the festival.

Despite the criticism, some fans praised the artist for his stripped-down performance.
"These 8 minutes of Justin Bieber singing his old songs, I'm going to treasure them in my heart for the rest of my life," one fan wrote. "THANK YOU JUSTIN, THANK YOU."
