Minnesota Vikings wide receiver and former Purdue standout Rondale Moore’s cause of death has been released.

Moore died by suicide on Saturday, February 21, New Albany police Chief Todd Bailey told Us Weekly on Monday, February 23.

“Due to consideration for Moore’s family we are not releasing specific case information,” Bailey added. 

Moore was found dead in his New Albany, Indiana, home on Saturday. 

A native of New Albany, Moore was in the process of working his way back onto the field after suffering a season-ending injury during a Vikings preseason game in August 2025. 

“I am devastated by the news of Rondale’s death,” Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said in a statement. “While Rondale had been a member of the Vikings for a short time, he was someone we came to know well and care about deeply. He was a humble, soft-spoken, and respectful young man who was proud of his Indiana roots.”

O’Connell, 40, added, “As a player, he was disciplined, dedicated and resilient despite facing adversity multiple times as injuries sidelined him throughout his career. We are all heartbroken by the fact he won’t continue to live out his NFL dream, and we won’t all have a chance to watch him flourish. My prayers are with Rondale’s family, friends, teammates and coaches as we all deal with this tragic news.”

Moore signed with the Vikings during the 2025 offseason. He was forced to miss the entire 2024 season after suffering a dislocated right knee during his tenure with the Atlanta Falcons.

Prior to his NFL career, Moore was a star with the Purdue Boilermakers. At the end of his freshman season in 2018, he was the recipient of the Paul Hornung Award, presented to the most versatile player in all of college football.

Though his sophomore and junior years were hampered by injuries, his lasting impact in West Lafayette was undeniable. 

“Rondale Moore was a complete joy to coach,” said Jeff Brohm, Moore’s head coach at Purdue. “The ultimate competitor that would never back down to any challenge. Rondale has a work ethic that was unmatched by anyone. A great teammate that would come through in any situation.”

Brohm, 54, continued, “We all loved Rondale and we loved his smile and competitive edge that always wanted to please everyone he came in contact with. We offer all of our thoughts and prayers to Rondale and his family, and we love him very much!!!”

The NFL community remembered Moore after his sudden death, including his former Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. 

“Just spoke to you bro,” Murray, 28,  shared via his Instagram Story. “Blessed to have been able to share this life with you. I pray you’re in a better place now Ra…🕊️.”

J.J. Watt, Moore’s former teammate in Arizona, wrote via X, “Can’t even begin to fathom or process this. There’s just no way. Way too soon. Way too special. So much left to give. Rest in Peace Rondale.

A report has alleged that police were called to Ray J‘s Los Angeles home over the weekend for a domestic violence incident allegedly involving a female suspect.

Report Alleges Police Were Called To Ray J’s Los Angeles Home For Domestic Violence Incident Involving Female Suspect

On Monday, February 23, TMZ published an exclusive report asserting that over the weekend, police were called to Ray J’s home. Furthermore, the outlet asserted that “law enforcement sources” explained that around 2 a.m. on Saturday, February 21, officers received a call “for a battery domestic violence report.”

TMZ reports that police say the alleged suspect was a “30-year-old Persian female wearing yellow.”

More On The Alleged Domestic Violence Incident Involving The Female Suspect

However, per the outlet, when police arrived, neither Ray J nor the alleged suspect wanted to speak with the cops. Therefore, the police were unable to take further action.

At this time, it remains unconfirmed who the “30-year-old Persian female” was. But, on Saturday, February 23, Shila J, Ray J’s apparent girlfriend, shared footage of herself picking him up at the Los Angeles International Airport. In the footage, Shila was wearing a yellow top.

Here’s What’s Been Going On With Ray J Before The Reported Alleged Police Were Called To His Los Angeles Home

As The Shade Room previously reported, Ray J made headlines for an apparent domestic disturbance in November 2025. At the time, Ray was on a livestream when Princess Love accused him of pointing a gun at her. Furthermore, their exchange reportedly started over Love apparently trying to take their two kids and leave Ray’s residence. Ultimately, Ray continued to threaten Love and an unknown man while the stream rolled.

Ray was ultimately hit with a protective order, which kept him away from his kids over the Christmas holiday, per The Shade Room. Then, in January, Ray reportedly was admitted to the hospital. Ultimately, he revealed that he’s allegedly experiencing congestive heart failure.

More recently, Ray left fans concerned after footage showed him performing with a chest patch and apparent blood running from his eyes, per The Shade Room.

Subsequently, a photographer called cap on the footage of Ray. However, the singer’s manager, Melinda Santiago, responded with a statement.

“The bottom line is Ray J has been in and out of the hospital dealing with health and heart issues. That is a fact. Another fact is that the meds that Ray is on have some side effects. It’s absurd that a local videographer (not our team) would want to clout chase for 5 min of fame off of Ray J’s name, and play about Ray being sick is sick in itself,” she stated.

As for this alleged Los Angeles incident, TMZ reports that it has reached out to Ray for comment. However, he has yet to respond.

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 finale.

Author Michael Connelly recently delivered a blockbuster announcement in the form of a new Harry Bosch novel coming this November. The Hollow will feature a crossover that includes The Lincoln Lawyer‘s Mickey Haller, given that both characters exist in a shared universe. In other words, Connelly just handed Prime Video and Netflix the ultimate franchise crossover between Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer. Unfortunately, legal rights and ownership issues make the possibility of Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller sharing the screen a little more complicated.

What’s the Connection Between ‘Bosch’ and ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’?

Image via Prime Video

In Connelly’s books, Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller are related as biological half-brothers, sharing the same father, J. Michael “Mickey” Haller Sr. Bosch was the product of an affair between Haller Sr. and Bosch’s mother, Marjorie Phillips Lowe. Haller Jr. eventually learns his familial connection to Detective Bosch in the 2008 book, The Brass Verdict, the second book to feature Haller following The Lincoln Lawyer in 2005.

The Brass Verdict features Bosch and Haller teaming up to solve a Hollywood lawyer’s murder, where Haller eventually learns that Bosch is his older half-brother. Meanwhile, Bosch already knows about Mickey’s existence and their shared relationship with Haller Sr. Unfortunately, they were unable to have a relationship in the past, as Bosch was placed in the foster care system after his mother was murdered. Bosch and Haller, both based in Los Angeles, have been crossing over in Connelly’s books for years.

A Crossover Between ‘Bosch’ and ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Is More Complicated Than You Think

Both Prime Video’s Bosch and Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer have already adapted storylines where their respective protagonists cross over in the source material. However, since Amazon owns the rights to Bosch, and Netflix controls the streaming rights for Lincoln Lawyer, the shows have worked around this legal hurdle by replacing Bosch and Mickey with other characters. Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer adapted the plot of The Brass Verdict, but included Detective Griggs (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine) as a replacement for Harry Bosch. Meanwhile, Bosch: Legacy Season 2 adapted Connelly’s book, The Crossing, which also features Mickey Haller, but used Honey Chandler (Mimi Rogers) as Haller’s stand-in.

Recently, The Lincoln Lawyer did confirm that Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) indeed has a long-lost sibling in the show’s Season 4 finale, but it’s not Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver); instead, “The Law of Innocence” reveals Allison (Cobie Smulders) as Mickey’s long-lost sister. The Lincoln Lawyer Season 5, which will adapt the book Resurrection Walk, appears to be using Smulders’s Allison as the show’s latest Bosch stand-in, given that Resurrection Walk is another Mickey Haller novel where Bosch appears.

What’s Preventing a Crossover Between ‘Bosch’ and ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’?

Image via Prime Video

Unfortunately, Netflix’s and Amazon’s respective ownership of Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer make a potential onscreen adaptation of The Hollow highly improbable. Bosch and its spin-offs are co-produced and owned by Amazon MGM Studios, and they stream on Amazon’s Prime Video. Meanwhile, The Lincoln Lawyer is co-produced by A+E Studios and David E. Kelley, and the series streams on Netflix, so Netflix owns and controls the streaming rights for the hit legal series.

However, in an October 2024 interview with TV Insider, The Lincoln Lawyer co-showrunner Ted Humphrey didn’t completely rule out the possibility of a future crossover, but he did point out that it would take Netflix and Amazon figuring out a way for it to happen: “Unless they figure out some way for Netflix and Amazon to join forces… I guess you’d never say never, but at the moment it would seem impossible, yes.”

Considering the streaming competitors’ involvement in the television versions of Connelly’s literary characters, the likelihood of these two streaming giants striking a deal to allow a major crossover event appears close to nil, but the idea is not necessarily unprecedented. Disney-owned Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures did reach a deal over the Sony-owned Spider-Man movie franchise, which allowed Tom Holland‘s Spidey to appear in the MCU starting with Captain America: Civil War. Despite Connelly’s new book announcement keeping the idea fresh and ever-present in fans’ minds, the idea of an MCU-style crossover between Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer still remains a fun scenario for viewers to consider.

A grieving father was arrested after he attacked the man accused of killing his son while they were in a North Carolina courthouse — and the interaction was caught on camera.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said that Marion McKnight is accused of shooting and killing Jamariyae Dixon in the spring of 2025 when he was just 16 years old. McKnight has since been charged with first-degree murder, as well as the attempted murder of two others who were shot during the incident that killed Dixon.

McKnight was released on a $100,000 bond for the murder charge, which led him to come into contact with the victim’s family during his bond hearing at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse in Charlotte. McKnight has been out on bond since mid-November, though he was in court after a motion to revoke his bond was issued by prosecutors on February 17, according to Queen City News.

Dixon’s family had an emotional encounter with McKnight outside the courtroom during a hearing on February 19, and the victim’s father, Shaheem Snype, grew physically aggressive when he confronted his son’s alleged killer.

A mother of three in Durham, North Carolina, was shot to death by a “man she once loved” after she ended an abusive relationship with him. Officers with the Durham Police Department confirmed in a news release that they discovered the body of 27-year-old ShaKeva Dixon in her apartment on February 3. Soon after, police […]

Snype punched and kicked McKnight several times, according to footage shared by Queen City News.

“He did what he had to do as a father,” Dixon’s aunt, Susan Sherrill, told the outlet about the altercation. “Any father would’ve did the same thing. We’re still grieving. This is a wound that will never ever close because my nephew was 16 years old, and he should still be here with us.”

Dixon’s mother, Lynnette Dixon, also reacted to the fight, which she did not witness in person but saw via footage. “My face smiled,” she told the outlet. “I smiled. That was the first time I had a real smile since my son been gone.”

Following the attack, Snype was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault, inflicting serious injury. He was released from jail on the night of February 19 after he posted a $1,000 unsecured bond.

It is not currently clear if Snype has entered a plea or retained legal representation following his arrest. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department did not immediately respond to Us Weekly’s request for comment.

Meanwhile, McKnight went to the hospital following the incident due to injuries he sustained during the attack. The extent of his injuries have not been shared publicly.

Also, while speaking to the outlet, Lynnette said that she misses her son. “Every year I got a happy birthday text, happy Mother’s Day, happy Valentine’s Day,” she said. “I never get none of that no more.”

Dixon was shot on May 23, 2025, on Stroud Park Court. Officers responded to a call about the incident around 5:30 p.m., where they discovered three victims with gunshot wounds.

All three victims were transported to local hospitals, though Dixon was the only person to die from his injuries.

An investigation was launched into the shooting and McKnight was identified as a suspect. Police obtained a warrant for his arrest, and he was transferred into the MCSO’s custody.

Days of Our Lives 2-week spoilers for February 23-March 06, 2026 find Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) is raging and Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) returns.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Alex Hits Justin with Big News

On Monday, February 23rd, Alex shares exciting news with his dad, Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth). Alex tells Justin that he and Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) ran off and got married in Chicago. His fiancée surprised him with a wedding. Justin is going to be sad that he missed it, but everyone missed it. And it was just the two of them and Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu). They plan to have a bigger ceremony later.

Plus, Bonnie Kiriakis (Judi Evans) is thrilled when she gets an update from Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman). Her steamy book may be officially ready to be published by DiMera. Meanwhile, Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) makes a shocking discovery. It may be that Stephanie is missing, or she might find Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) in the closet.

DOOL Spoilers: The Mystery Kidnapper Targets Stephanie Johnson

The stalker makes his move on Monday. A guy in scrubs and a mask chats with and then chloroforms Stephanie in her office at the hospital. He stashes her down in a basement storage room. This is neither Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) nor Owen Kent who snatches her.

The kidnapper (Dan Coons) is an actor who plays bit parts on Days. It definitely looks like there is more than one stalker, or perhaps we have a stalker and a henchman, or full-fledged co-conspirators.

Jada is sifting through evidence with Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) as they check Stephanie’s office. This week, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) tells Kayla that Jeremy doesn’t fit the usual profile of a kidnapper. Kayla asks if Marlena thinks Jeremy is actually capable of kidnapping Stephanie.

Days Spoilers: Alex Kiriakis Vows Revenge and Punches Jeremy Horton

On Tuesday, February 24th, Alex makes a vow. He promises that if anyone lays a finger on Stephanie’s head, he will kill them. We know he soon corners Jeremy at the hospital and punches him.

Kayla lays into EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) at University Hospital while Alex and Jada listen. Kayla may be blaming EJ for Stephanie’s kidnapping, perhaps suggesting the budget cuts meant security cameras weren’t maintained. The DiMeras were involved in Stephanie’s past kidnapping where Owen was the perpetrator back in 2016.

Steve is out and about in Salem searching everywhere for his daughter, but they have her well-hidden. It looks like they never even left the hospital with her. The kidnapper confronts Stephanie in a showdown in the storage room. She is tied up, and Jeremy is there smirking at her, even though he wasn’t the one who physically snatched her.

Days of Our Lives Sweeps Week Climax: EJ DiMera’s Scheme and a Dangerous Shooting

Wednesday, February 25th, is the last day of sweeps. EJ makes an offer to a minor criminal named Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop). So, EJ rolls up and scares the young man because Liam is the one link tying Vivian Alamain’s (Louise Sorel) henchmen to the DiMera kidnapping.

EJ wants Vivian to pay and wants her in prison. He may ask Liam to lure the henchman Klaus so they can nab him. This could be what triggers Shawn-Douglas Brady’s (Brandon Beemer) shooting, as Jack Junior (JJ) Deveraux (Casey Moss) and Liam are with Shawn when the violence breaks out. It may be the “bad guy” Klaus who pulls the trigger.

Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) and Sarah bond over being moms. Chanel is up for a baby checkup and gets to hear the heartbeat, but Johnny isn’t there. Elsewhere, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) are searching for Stephanie. Rafe gets into a secret lab because Cat has an ISA code-reading device. Rafe is shocked when he sees a mysterious tube.

Teen Drama Erupts: Holly’s Meltdown and Ariana’s New Romance on DOOL

Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) goes off on Arianna “Ari” Grace Horton (Marissa Reyes) after already raging at Tate Black (Leo Howard). If Holly finds out Ari was offered a spot in the sorority she wanted, she might blow up. Ari claps back and tells Holly to “snap out of this glitch” because it’s not cute. However, the poor girl is being drugged.

Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) works to convince Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) that they need to run because they aren’t able to get the evidence they need. Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) is encouraged by Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier), and his support works on her guilty conscience regarding the hidden bug that tanked Titan.

Ari has a “meet-cute” with Liam and gives the handsome criminal a kiss on the cheek. You know her mom is going to hate that. On Thursday, February 26th, EJ DiMera and Abe Carver (James Reynolds) talk about their agreement. EJ wants Johnny to stay CEO at DiMera, and Abe wants Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) out of the job for good. Reviving Lexie Carver (Renee Jones) may be part of EJ’s plan to push Theo out. Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) is supportive of Theo, but Abe may not agree with her.

Tate comforts Holly. She’s distraught about the video and Ari just read her the riot act. Her life is falling apart while Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) is cheering from the sidelines. Speaking of, Sophia blackmails Rachel Black (Alice Halsey). Sophia calls Rachel to tell her she has to give Holly a gift, but Rachel can’t tell Holly it’s from Sophia. Johnny tells Chanel he’s sorry for missing the baby appointment.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: The Return of Owen Kent and the Search for Stephanie Intensifies

On Friday, February 27th, Leo and Dimitri are anxious. Steve and Jada are pounding the pavement to find Stephanie. Meanwhile, she is trying to get free from her chair in the storage room. Alex and Brady go out looking for her. Remember, Brady helped rescue her from Owen Kent way back when she was kidnapped before on Days of our Lives.

Wes Ramsey is back as Owen Kent. Steve grabs a guy in a black hoodie in the park expecting it to be Jeremy, but it is Owen. Brady is there when it happens. Again, neither Owen nor Jeremy are the ones who actually chloroformed Stephanie.

Salem’s Future: A Human Trial and New Love Connections on DOOL

During the week of March 2nd through the 6th, Ari continues crushing on Liam. Dating an ex-con might not be good for her social profile, even if he is handsome. Gabi digs up more of Stefan DiMera’s (Brandon Barash) writing samples to see if her divorce documents were forged.

The DiMeras will be furious if Gabi gets a cut of the estate when the will reading happens soon. The search for Stephanie intensifies. Since a “rando” snatched her, Jeremy should have an alibi, but he still looks guilty. Alex, Steve, Kayla, and Jada are all hands on deck to find her.

EJ pursues Cat to figure out their connection, and she kisses him soon. Is it for ISA business or for pleasure? Meanwhile, Rafe is nearly ready for a human trial of his serum combined with Versix. The “test tube lady” should be awake soon.

Jada is drawn to Shawn after his shooting, while Theo has his mind on Gabi. Shawn and Jack Junior face danger trying to find the person above Liam in the kidnapping food chain. That is likely what puts Shawn in the line of fire.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” With these words, Charles Dickens described the terror and tumult of the French Revolution, an era in which wisdom clashed with foolishness. Of course, he could have easily been describing a different struggle altogether: the struggle for Millennials to find their favorite cartoons on streaming!

Historically, some of the best cartoons are owned by Warner Bros, but it has become increasingly hard to find these animated classics on HBO Max.  Fortunately, another streamer is about to get all your favorite old shows, and you won’t have to pay a thing to see them. That’s because on March 1, Tubi will begin streaming some of the animated hits that helped define your entire childhood!

Tubi Is In Its Cartoon Era

While the streamer tried to keep this animated extravaganza a secret, fans soon discovered that Tubi was planning a massive rollout of cartoons. In turn, the streamer revealed the whole list of what it will be streaming, proclaiming on X that it is entering its “cartoon era.” That’s a bold claim, but they have the animated lineup to back it up.

Superhero fans are sure to enjoy titles like The New Adventures of Batman, Justice League, and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Fans of vintage adventure shows will enjoy throwbacks like Jonny Quest, Captain Planet, The Plastic Man Comedy Adventure Show, and The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest. Fans of after-school comedies, meanwhile, will enjoy series such as Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, and Pinky and the Brain.

If you’re in the mood to relive classic Cartoon Network, Tubi will be adding titles likePower Puff Girls, Dexter’s Laboratory, and Ed, Edd ‘n Eddy. Certain franchises are getting more shows than others: for example, the streamer is adding eight different Scooby-Doo titles, five Looney Tunes titles, five different Tom & Jerry titles, and five Yogi titles.

Believe it or not, this is just a partial list of what’s coming to Tubi. Be sure to check out the full list to see how many of your favorites are coming to the streamer.

Nobody’s Changing Their Toon

Fans across the internet have been generally delighted to learn how many animated shows and movies are coming to Tubi on March 1. Some of these are younger cartoon fans who are eager to check out the glory days of their favorite franchises. However, most of the excited fans are Millennials who grew up watching these shows on Warner Bros. networks like Time Warner and TBS.

Many such WB titles have been disappearing with alarming regularity from HBO Max. This has baffled fans who are suddenly asking why the streamer isn’t taking advantage of its extensive library of content. Now, fans are about to flock to Tubi for their cartoon fix, and not for the first time: Looney Tunes proved to be an immense success when it went from Max to Tubi, paving the way for a long-awaited franchise revival.

Mark Your Calendar, Cartoon Fans

All of the above titles and more are dropping on Tubi on March 1. Animation fans need to mark their calendar and start streaming their favorites right away. Don’t forget that this is the perfect time to introduce your friends to a new show or two.

These days, we pay with our clicks, and Looney Tunes is proof that fan interest can help revive old franchises. Clicking on your favorite titles this March is a great way to show companies like Warner Bros. that you want more of a certain franchise. Plus, you can do it in the best possible way: by reliving your childhood, one classic cartoon at a time!
