In body camera footage that was later released — after police said none would be — one officer said that the cop had been shot by his fellow police. (Authorities dismissed the footage as speculation and said evidence did not support the remarks.) A previous, independent autopsy ordered by Tortuguita’s family found that the activist’s hands were raised when they were shot.Then, on Wednesday night, DeKalb County Medical Examiner’s Office released its official autopsy ...Tesla’s price cuts drag share prices sharply lower

DETROIT (AP) — Tesla shares fell sharply Thursday as the company felt the sting of numerous price cuts it made across its model lineup this year in hopes of energizing sales.Tesla is shaving thousands of dollars off the price of its cars as American consumers pull back spending on big ticket items, anxious over elevated inflation and a pair of U.S. banks that collapsed during Tesla’s first quarter.Tesla’s sales did climb during the quarter, but the amount of money generated per sale fell on price cuts, and first-quarter profit slumped 24%, the company said late Wednesday.Shares of Tesla Inc. tumbled more than 10% after dropping 2% on Wednesday. Shares were trading at $162.18, the lowest point since late January. Shares have rallied all year after a significant sell-off in 2022.

NEW YORK (AP) — Canadian and U.S. banking giant BMO Financial said Thursday it has named Darrell Hackett as its U.S. CEO, promoting an insider and elevating a person of color to a role where there are few at that level in the financial industry. Hackett, who has been with BMO since 2004, will replace Dave Casper, who is planning on retiring this summer. Before this promotion, Hackett was head of BMO’s U.S. Wealth Management division. Hackett also ran the bank’s U.S. business banking division. There are only a handful of Black and Latino senior financial executives in the U.S. The only Black CEO of a major U.S. bank is M&T Bank’s Rene Jones, who took over that role in 2017. In a statement, BMO Financial Group CEO Darryl White said Hackett’s promotion is part of the company’s work “for the elimination of barriers to inclusion.”“Darrel is a purpose-driven, high-performing and client-focused leader and I am excited to work with him in this new rol...Grizzlies’ Dillon Brooks trying to get under LeBron’s skin

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Calling the NBA’s all-time leading scorer — regular season and playoffs — old and just another player might not seem very smart to most folks. For Dillon Brooks, that’s just the Grizzlies’ defender trying to get under LeBron James’ skin. Brooks is one of the NBA’s best defenders. He started off the mind games before their first-round Western Conference series was locked in, saying he wanted to face James and the Lakers.And Brooks didn’t hold back after his Grizzlies tied this series at 1-1 without Ja Morant. Brooks called James a legend yes, but “old” at 38. He added James isn’t the player who won titles in Miami and Cleveland. Brooks, 27, is in the final year of his contract. “I’m creating a name for myself,” Brooks said Wednesday night after a 103-93 win over the Lakers. This is nothing new for Brooks, often called Dillon the Villain in Memphis.
