A suspect is in custody following a manhunt after a Texas deputy constable was shot and killed on his way to work, police said.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Harris County Constable Precinct 4 identified Deputy Maher Husseini as the officer who was killed. Police said that the suspect was in custody following a short manhunt. The Galveston County Sheriff’s Office spotted the suspect’s vehicle and gave chase before it crashed into the water by Old Causeway in Galveston, FOX 26 Houston reported.
Calling the suspect an “assailant,” Houston Police Department Chief Noe Diaz said that Husseini was on his way to work in his personal car and had stopped at a red light when a man exited a vehicle, walked up and shot the deputy.
“We are working on an unfortunate, a tragic incident, where a local constable was shot by an assailant who we have yet to identify,” Diaz said, noting that Husseini was shot multiple times.

The suspect’s vehicle was described as a charcoal-gray Chevy Impala with a “very unique bumper disfigurement underneath,” Diaz said.
Authorities said Husseini had been with Constable Mark Herman’s Office since 2021, and patrolled the South-Central District.
“Please keep Deputy Constable Husseini in your prayers,” the Harris County Constable Precinct 4 posted on X.

Diaz previously shared how the loss of life impacted the local community, saying that it was “terrible” and “shouldn’t happen.”
“Any loss of life is trauma. Any death is terrible in this community,” he said. “Being a deputy, it just brings us closer as police officers who are here to serve the community. It shouldn’t happen.”

Pasadena Water and Power, the public energy and water utility that services the Pasadena region, implemented rolling outages late Friday afternoon due to excess heat.
With temperatures in the mid-100s, the utility was forced to institute the rolling outages due to equipment failures caused by the heat.
The outages began around 4:30 p.m. and were expected to remain in place for about an hour.
By 5:30 p.m., the temperature in Pasadena remained around 107 degrees, but was expected to begin to let up after sundown around 7:15 p.m.
Those affected by the outages were encouraged to follow the latest updates on the PWP outage map on the city’s website.
Beyond Pasadena, the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state’s energy grid, said the grid was stable and there was sufficient supplies to meet demands.

Former doctor accused of assisting NY woman's suicide pleads guilty to manslaughter

A former doctor from Arizona who was charged with manslaughter after allegedly helping a woman commit suicide in an upstate New York motel room has pleaded guilty to the charge.
Stephen Miller, 85, of Tucson was arrested this year for second-degree manslaughter. A provision of New York law allows individuals to face the charge if they intentionally cause or aid in another person’s suicide.
The plea agreement made in state court stipulates that Miller will serve five years of probation.
Miller traveled from Arizona to a motel in Kingston, New York, to be with the woman at the time of her death.

Housekeeping staff discovered the woman’s body on Nov. 9, 2023. The Ulster County district attorney’s office said at the time that the Kingston police, fire and emergency workers concluded the woman died “by means of assisted suicide.”
Miller was arraigned in February for second-degree manslaughter and two counts of assault after voluntarily surrendering and originally pleading not guilty.
On Tuesday, Miller’s attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, said his client provided comfort and “very slight technical assistance” to a woman who could not live with the debilitating pain that had plagued her for decades.
Lichtman also said the woman reached out to Miller because of his work with the advocacy group Choice and Dignity.

“Technically, he violated the law,” the attorney told reporters. “We accept that, but with the understanding that morally, Stephen Miller did nothing wrong.”
During his court hearing, Miller softly answered questions from Judge Bryan Rounds.
“Are you pleading guilty because you are, in fact, guilty of manslaughter in the second degree,” Rounds asked.
“By your definition, yes,” Miller answered before the judge explained the definition was found in state law.

Rounds then asked Miller the same question once more, which Miller answered, “Yes.”
Miller declined to respond to questions from reporters after his appearance, the Associated Press reported.
Miller lost his license to practice medicine upon his conviction for tax fraud in Texas. Miller was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to just under four years in prison, according to a Department of Justice news release.
Several states allow medical aid for dying, though efforts to legalize it in New York have stalled in the state legislature.

Los Angeles, Ca
Slight relief from Southern California's latest heatwave expected next week
![Slight relief from Southern California's latest heatwave expected next week Slight relief from Southern California's latest heatwave expected next week](https://ktla.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/09/Orange-County-weather.jpg?w=900)
Southern California residents can expect to see some relief from the ongoing heatwave soon.
Communities throughout the Los Angeles region, like Burbank and Pasadena, saw triple-digit temperatures throughout the workweek.
Downtown L.A. and coastal communities, like Long Beach, also dealt with the heat with temperatures reaching the mid to high 90s.
Still, some relief is coming, with meteorologists predicting that cooler temperatures will begin on Tuesday.
“After we get through this weekend, temperatures are expected to normalize a little bit,” KTLA’s weather anchor, Kirk Hawkins, said. “We will see temperatures still above normal by the time we get to Thursday.”
By Tuesday, temperatures in Orange County, San Fernando Valley and other areas are expected to drop from the triple-digit range to the mid- to high 90s.
Temperatures over the weekend are expected to drop only 2 to 3 degrees.
Whether you live in a desert community or closer to the beach, local officials urge residents to take precautions to stay safe as the heat wave continues.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Stay hydrated, wear loose-fitted, light-colored clothes and hats
- Avoid exercising outdoors when it is too hot.
- Stay cool by staying in the shade outside, setting air conditioners between 75 and 80 degrees, and closing windows, shades, and blinds when inside.
- If those options aren’t feasible, people can visit nearby cooling centers. A list of ones across California can be found here.
- Drink at least 2 cups of water every hour, even if you’re not feeling thirsty.
- Check-in on friends and family, especially elderly relatives or neighbors. Call 911 in case of a high fever or other emergencies.
- Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, especially those with high water content.
- Wear sunscreen and avoid too much sun time.
- Bring pets inside and make sure they have fresh water.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks
- Take cold showers
- Check-in on vulnerable populations, like the elderly, people with severe or long-term illnesses and people who live on their own
