9-month-old dead after being found strapped into safety seat by grandmother in hot car for 8 hours
A 9-month-old child has died after being left in a car by the child’s grandmother for nearly eight hours in what authorities are investigating as a heat-related death. The incident occurred in Beeville, Texas, some 100 miles southeast of San Antonio, on Wednesday when the Beeville Police Department said a child was found unresponsive at approximately 4 p.m. in the child safety seat of their grandmother’s car, according to a statement from the Beeville Police Department. “Beeville police detectives are currently on the scene of what appears to be a temperature related death of a 9-month-old child,” authorities said in their statement on Wednesday. “A preliminary investigation has determined that the child’s grandmother had left the child in the rear seat of her car in the child safety seat since approximately 8:30 this morning. The child was found at approximately 4pm non-responsive by the grandmother.” This comes just one day after a 22-month-old toddler was found dead in another alleged heat-related hot car incident in Corpus Christi.
What's next for Alaska, Hawaiian Airlines merger, how it could impact future flights
Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines are one step closer to closing a $1.9 billion deal that would mark the largest consolidation of any U.S. carrier since 2016. The deadline for regulatory review by the Department of Justice expired earlier this week without any interference, meaning the two companies have cleared the first major hurdle for their merger plans, which were first announced last December. In order for the deal to move forward, it will need to pass scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Transportation -- a customary closing condition -- which includes an interim exemption application. The Justice Department has already been skeptical of airline partnerships and most recently blocked the proposed merger of JetBlue and Spirit.
New York AG asks appeals court to uphold Trump's $454M fraud judgment
New York Attorney General Letitia James asked a state appeals court Wednesday to uphold a lower court's determination that former President Donald Trump, his adult sons and his company are liable for a fraudulent scheme that inflated Trump's net worth by as much as $2.2 billion, arguing the judge "properly ordered defendants to disgorge only the ill-gotten profits of their wrongdoing." Trump had asked the New York Appellate Division's First Department to reverse February's ruling from Judge Arthur Engoron that ordered Trump to pay $454 million for frauds that Engoron said "leap off the page and shock the conscience." The attorney general's office said the intermediate appellate court should reject Trump's appeal because Engoron correctly decided that Trump and his codefendants "used a variety of deceptive strategies to vastly misrepresent the values of nearly all the assets and asset categories." Oral arguments in Trump's appeal are scheduled for Sept. 26.

Immigrants begin receiving relief from deportation under new Biden administration executive order
Cecilia sat in front of her computer repeatedly refreshing the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services webpage on Monday, waiting for the application for the Biden administration's "Keeping Families Together" program to show up on her screen. Minutes later, she clicked it open and submitted the form in less than 20 minutes. A little more than 24 hours later, she got an e-mail sharing the news that she had been waiting 20 years to hear. "I see that I got approved, and I'm like, oh that was quick," she told ABC News in an interview. "I was lost for words…a whole bunch of emotions were going on."
People are blurring their homes on Google Maps to deter burglars. Here's how.
Some homeowners in Southern California are blurring their homes on Google Maps as a means of deterring potential burglaries, Ryan Railsback, an officer in the Riverside Police Department, told ABC News. The tactic could reduce the likelihood of a robbery by denying would-be wrongdoers useful information about the value of one's possessions and any security measures in place to protect them, Railsback said. "The crooks are looking for new and innovative ways to victimize people," Railsback said. "It's good for the public to be aware of that and counter what the criminals are already doing." The blurring of homes on Google Maps was first reported by ABC News affiliate KFSN in Fresno, California. Google did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.

Three Florida residents have been arrested after they were hired for an alleged acid attack on a woman in New Jersey last month, officials said Tuesday. Police responded to a home in Monroe Township on July 26, where a 42-year-old woman was attacked upon arriving home from work, according to the Gloucester County, New Jersey, Prosecutor's Office. "As the victim opened her car door, she was approached by an unknown female who threw a cup and its liquid contents directly at the victim," the prosecutor's office said in a press release. The alleged female assailant then fled the scene.

Human bones were found in a Brooklyn park along the shore of the East River for the second time in a week, according to the New York Police Department.

A New York City Parks enforcement officer discovered skeletal remains on the beach, the NYPD said. A femur and a couple of smaller bones were found Wednesday, according to New York ABC station WABC.
