As the Jalisco New Generation cartel continues to exhibit immense force and control over Mexican neighborhoods by targeting police officers, the U.S. Government is one step closer to taking down the drug cartel.
The alleged kingpin’s daughter will now spend two and a half years in an American prison. 34-year-old Jessica Johanna Oseguera Gonzalez, daughter of believed head honcho Nemesio Oseguera, was sentenced last week after pleading guilty to charges in March.
The dual Mexican-American citizen was convicted of running a number of businesses in America that funneled money back into the drug trade her family operates.
According to the Department of Justice, Gonzalez was arrested under the Kingpin Act, which allows the U.S. Government to identify and charge companies for providing money to drug traffickers. She was arrested last year while on her way to the trial of her brother, who faces at least 15 years for weapons and conspiracy charges related to the cartel. He has pleaded not guilty.
The United States government remains determined to track down her father Nemesio, though he is still on the run, according to ABC News. There is a $10 million reward for information leading to his arrest, one of the largest sums ever put up by the government.
Though the influence of the organization continues to grow, the U.S. government is celebrating these small victories.
His NFL career spanned from 2004 to 2016 and he’s considered to be one of the greatest defensive tackles to have ever played, but Vince Wilfork’s latest opponent may be his own son. Sports stars often have to keep their security tight as they have fallen victim to thieves who sell their memorabilia for a profit, but according to multiple reports, Wilfork’s son D’Aundre Holmes-Wilfork has been arrested for stealing a few of his precious items from his career.
According to Galveston County Daily News, D’Aundre was arrested back on May 22, just weeks after his father called authorities to report several missing items that included jewelry, two AFC championship rings, a championship ring from his days with the Miami Hurricanes, and two Super Bowl rings he received while playing for the New England Patriots.
Wilfork initially realized that the items were missing while he was reportedly packing up his Friendswood, Texas home for a move back in May 2020. He couldn’t recall if the jewelry was in storage or someplace else, so he didn’t immediately report the items missing. However, earlier this year, a Patriots fan contacted Wilfork to tell him that they came across the rings on a memorabilia website where a person claimed they purchased the items.
The person in possession of the rings later told authorities that they gave D’Aundre $62,000 for the sports jewelry and later turned over the items to the Friendswood Police Department. D’Aundre Homles-Wilfork was arrested and held on a $300K bond, but it’s reported that he’s since been released.
Amorphous is having a huge year. After years of sharing DJ mash-ups of popular tracks from the present and the past, the viral producer is seeing his career take off, working with some of the industry’s biggest names. His latest big moment came during a studio session with Brandy and James Fauntleroy. The latter greeted the prospering producer at the door, but it seems to be his introduction to Brandy that moved him the most.

This big moment came not long after Amorphous joined forces with Kehlani for their first-ever collaboration “Back Together.” The track is a summer-ready anthem that speaks about refusing to commit to past lovers. He also spoke about recording the track with the singer during an interview with Uproxx. “I was super nervous going in,” he said. “I mean, it’s Kehlani, it’s my first major studio session. I’ve obviously been in the studio by myself and with friends. But to be working with a major recording artist, I felt a lot of pressure.”
Prior to that, Amorphous provided the production for Fat Joe and Diddy’s “Sunshine (The Light),” which sampled Rihanna’s “Kiss It Better” and “Luther Vandross’ “Never Too Much.”
Kehlani is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
She was once at the top of her game in the WNBA, but reports state that Shoni Schimmel was recently in trouble with the law. Back in 2014, Schimmel was bestowed All-Star Game MVP, but ESPN shared that she was taken into custody on Monday (June 14) after allegedly being involved in a violent altercation.
While details regarding what happened are scarce, it was reported that the former WNBA superstar was hit for several charges after being booked in an Oregon jail around 1:00 a.m.
Multiple reports state that the 29-year-old sports star caught a few felonies including assault and criminal mischief, and a handful of misdemeanors including recklessly endangering another, domestic abuse, menacing, and harassment. It’s unclear who the other person or persons involved in the case may have been.
Schimmel reportedly grew up in Oregon on the Umatilla Reservation and was ever featured in the Off The Rez documentary where she spoke openly about her upbringing and journey to professional basketball. Her career has been up in the air since she sustained a concussion 17 games in with the New York Liberty in 2016.
ESPN also reported that in 2017, Schimmel sat out “for personal reasons” before returning to her New York team the following year. Then, she went to the Las Vegas Aces where she is said to have played two games prior to the team releasing her. What she’s been up to since that time is unclear, as is her future in the WNBA.

We stuck together everyday like a set of twins
Had a couple of bang outs, yeah we got it in
Brought a pound of that Za, we was smokin’ big

As debates about gun control continue at the legislative level, lives continue to be lost over senseless gun violence. This past weekend, at least four major United States cities suffered from mass shootings, which left six dead and thirty-eight injured.
Shootings in Austin, Cleveland, Chicago, and Savannah took place in a six-hour window from late Friday night to early Saturday morning. Police forces in these respective cities are investigating the nature of the shootings that occurred.
In a weekend news conference, Savannah Police Chief Roy Minter Jr. said that one person was killed and eight were wounded in a residential neighborhood shooting in east Savannah. An 18-month-old baby and two teenagers were wounded in the gunfire from a dark-colored sedan that shot into a group of people standing in front of a home.
“It’s very disturbing what we’re seeing across the country and the level of gun violence that we’re seeing across the country. It’s disturbing and it’s senseless,” Police Chief Minter Jr. said.
Two adults who were hit in the Savannah shooting are in critical condition. Minter said sixty shell casings were collected from the scene, and three houses and several cars were struck by the gunfire.
Elsewhere in downtown Austin, Texas, a gunfire barrage left one dead, thirteen wounded, and one person in critical condition. This shooting occurred at 1:24 a.m. Saturday and was allegedly the result of a dispute between two groups, with most of the shooting victims being innocent bystanders from the situation.
In Chicago, two suspects are sought by police after they opened fire on a gathered crowd in the city’s Chatham neighborhood shortly after 2 a.m. on Saturday morning. Nine individuals were wounded with non-life-threatening injuries, while one 29-year-old woman was killed in the shooting. This shooting was among multiple shootings that totaled forty-four individuals shot, including six deaths, since Friday in Chicago.
The Gun Violence Archive tracks shootings across the country, and at the time this article was written, they’ve reported that there have been 275 mass shootings so far in 2021.

After two decades of silence, FreakNik (also spelled Freaknic) is back. There is an entire generation of people who aren’t familiar with those FreakNik heydays in Atlanta as tens of thousands of people swarmed the city to party during Spring Break. The event was first launched in the early 1980s in a public park, but as the years progressed, its popularity drew party-loving crowds that stopped traffic to twerk on cars, took over businesses with loud music, and engaged in all-out debauchery that “old heads” remember fondly.
After much talk and speculation regarding if FreakNik would make a return, the official lineup of performances has been shared as well as the dates for what’s expected to be an unforgettable, wild party.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the 18+ festival will go down the weekend of October 8-10 at Morris Brown College, an HBCU. Tickets reportedly went on sale yesterday (June 14) and the event will also be available for streaming if people can’t make it to the ATL. The lineup is nothing to sneeze at as artists like Ray J, Paul Wall, 8Ball & MJG, Adina Howard, Lil Scrappy, Pastor Troy, Field Mob, Project Pat, JT Money, DJ Unk, and 95 South will all be gracing the stage.
While the event will take place at Morris Brown College, it’s expected that bars, lounges, nightclubs, and even restaurants will host their own star-studded FreakNik events over the weekend as well. Check out a video with homemade clips highlighting FreakNik back in the 1990s.
