LaMelo Ball addressed the media for the first time since his Wednesday accident in Uptown Charlotte — which left his Hummer missing a wheel and a person with minor injuries — though the hooper wasn’t in the mood to open up about the ordeal.
The 24-year-old sat down in front of microphones following the Hornets’ 105-101 loss to the Houston Rockets Thursday night, and it was clear he was trying to keep things all about basketball.

When asked about the crash, Ball said it was “unfortunate, [but] everybody cool.”
“So just blessings. God is great.”

Just before getting up to leave … a reporter asked why it appeared he left the scene not long after the accident, with Ball telling him, “You gotta check in on that.”
In a video TMZ Sports obtained, Ball was picked up from the scene as he sat in his disabled 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1, hopping into a Lamborghini, before someone drove him away. An eyewitness told us it was about 10 minutes after the crash. No one has suggested LaMelo left the scene before he was permitted.

Back to the hardwood — when asked how the last 24 hours have been going from the wreck to playing basketball, he once again opted to dance around the question.

“Just alive and blessed for real,” Ball said. “God is great, like I said.”
Aside from playing the day after the crash, yesterday’s game won’t be a memorable one for Melo. The former No. 3 overall pick put up 11 points in 31 minutes of play, while grabbing seven rebounds and dishing out seven assists in a loss.

Ball and the rest of the Hornets will look to bounce back later today when they welcome the Cleveland Cavaliers into town.

Mads Mikkelsen may not be one of the first names to come to mind when someone asks for a list of the biggest movie stars, but he consistently turns in the strongest performances of any actor working today, year after year. Mikkelsen first blossomed into a star 20 years ago with his work opposite Daniel Craig and his first James Bond movie, Casino Royale, and he has since taken on other villainous roles in major franchises like Indiana Jones. He started opposite Harrison Ford in his final performance as the globetrotting adventurer in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Mikkelsen is also famous for playing Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the TV show that ran from 2013 to 2015, and around the same time, he briefly joined the MCU, where he starred opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange.
Just a few years ago, Mikkelsen starred as Gellert Grindelwald in the 2022 fantasy epic Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. The Harry Potter prequel story also stars Jude Law as a young Albus Dumbledore, and Eddie Redman is Newt Scamander. David Yates directed the film with a script from Steve Kloves, and it’s inspired by the works of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is streaming on HBO Max in America and around the world, where the film is in the top 10 in several countries. It’s also one of the most popular rentals and purchases on Apple TV in a few territories. Warner Bros. spent around $200 million on making Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, but the film just managed to scrape past its break-even point, grossing $407 million at the global box office.

Russell Westbrook‘s wife, Nina, received a shocking email from an irate “fan” furious over her husband’s performance on the court, calling her a “dumb b*tch” and writing that they wish they “both die in a car crash.”
Nina — who married Westbrook in 2015 — shared the disturbing message on her Instagram story on Thursday night. The note appears to have been sent following Russ’ 5-point outing in the Kings-Magic game.

The email titled “F*** You” reads: “Your piece of f***in sh*t husband sucks to f***n bad can’t even get 1o points is pathetic.”
“I hope you both die in a car crash dumb b*tch.”

Nina — a former college basketball player and licensed marriage and family therapist — responded in her IG story, blaming sports gambling as the root of the cause.
“The negative effects of sports betting,” Westbrook said, “Brings out the worst in ppl smh.”
Westbrook — who signed with the Kings in October 2025 — is unfortunately no stranger to unruly fan behavior. The former NBA MVP has been in multiple verbal altercations with fans at games, including an up-close video of him confronting a Suns supporter.
Westbrook — who has three kids with Nina — has addressed his heated exchanges with fans, saying he won’t tolerate disrespect … especially when it involves his family.
Houston, we have liftoff on the sale of tickets for Project Hail Mary. After one final, breathtaking trailer released during the Super Bowl, only one month remains until the launch of the Ryan Gosling-led adaptation of Andy Weir‘s acclaimed sci-fi novel. As one of the most anticipated films of the year that’s been over half a decade in the making, it’s deserving of a special theatrical experience for viewers to immerse themselves in the space-faring adventure of school-teacher-turned-astronaut Ryland Grace. As such, Alamo Drafthouse has prepared an entire collection in support of the film, and Collider is excited to once again partner with the dine and drink theater chain to showcase everything they have in store.
In addition to standard screenings, tickets are available now for Alamo’s Early Access 70 mm screenings and their Book Club screenings. The former offers viewers the chance to strap in for Grace’s seemingly impossible mission a full week early and experience it with the brightest colors and sharpest picture possible, though tickets are very limited. The latter, meanwhile, is made for readers who fell in love with Weir’s original novel and are curious to see how it translates to the big screen. Anyone attending a Book Club screening will also receive a special bookmark passport with a Project Hail Mary sticker proving that they came to Alamo to see the film. Attending other Book Club screenings of literature adaptations will come with more stickers to add to the collection, or, if you came on board with a previous film, like the recent Wuthering Heights, you can tack on Hail Mary to your existing assemblage. After the film, certain Alamo locations will also offer a pop-up Book Fair in the bar in collaboration with local booksellers, including draft beers and cocktails to sip on while browsing the titles on offer.
Like with past films, Alamo has also prepared a themed menu for partaking in during viewings of Project Hail Mary. Leading the charge is A Drink With Grace, a special cocktail named for Gosling’s spacefarer, as well as the sweet Astrophage Shake. In terms of meals, the menu leans into Grace’s time as a science teacher with Ryland’s School Lunch, alongside Tau Ceti Solar Flare Pizza. Completing the collection are two limited edition keepsakes to take on the return trip from the theater. Alamo will be selling 130-ounce popcorn buckets shaped like Grace’s red space helmet, complete with a top that flips open for easy consumption, as well as 16-ounce pint glasses complete with exclusive art of Grace floating through space from Chris Bilheimer. The glass can be added to the cost of a ticket, while the bucket can either be bought on location or at the online Alamo Mart, though both will only be available while supplies last.

What Is ‘Project Hail Mary’ About?
Published in 2021, Project Hail Mary was the fourth original novel penned by Weir, following 2017’s Artemis and 2011’s The Martian, which inspired the Oscar-nominated Ridley Scott hit starring Matt Damon. The film will hew close to the original story, following Grace as he awakens from a coma alone on a space station with little recollection of who he is or how or why he got there. With bursts of memory flooding back to him, he slowly remembers his mission, a last-ditch “Hail Mary” operation to save all of Earth from a mysterious parasite killing the sun. As the sole survivor on the station, sent to the Tau Ceti solar system light-years away from his home, he’s left to piece together the details of his mission and use his scientific ingenuity to save humanity from the early stages of an Ice Age. Fortunately, he finds out that he may not be as alone in this endeavor as he feared.
Gosling anchors the film, but it also features the talents of The Zone of Interest and Anatomy of a Fall star Sandra Hüller, alongside Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub. It’s directed by Spider-Verse duo Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, with a screenplay by Drew Goddard.
Tickets are on sale now for Project Hail Mary, which premieres in theaters on March 20. Check out a preview of the new Alamo Drafthouse pint glasses and popcorn bucket in the gallery above, and visit the theater chain’s official website for more information on how to snag tickets for the Early Access and Book Club screenings.
Patrick Dempsey is heartbroken over Eric Dane’s death … revealing he’d spoken to his “Grey’s Anatomy” costar just a week before he passed — and the decline was devastating.
Speaking Friday on “The Chris Evans Breakfast Show,” Patrick said Eric’s condition had worsened dramatically … he was bedridden, struggling to swallow, and losing his ability to speak when friends visited.

Patrick said his heart especially aches for Eric’s kids … while remembering Eric as the funniest guy on the “Grey’s” set, the one who brought the fun no matter what was going on.
And while fans were obsessed with the McDreamy vs. McSteamy rivalry, Patrick made it clear there was zero competition off-screen … just real friendship and mutual respect from day one.

He also praised Eric for bravely shining a light on ALS — the cruel nervous system disease he was diagnosed with last April and never hid from.

Eric died at age 53 Thursday after a grueling battle he documented himself … revealing in recent months he’d lost almost all strength, down to just one functioning arm as the disease took over.
AfterThe Office and Parks and Recreationintroduced the mockumentary genre through awkward glances and a camera catching what characters wish it wouldn’t (we still think about you, Michael Scott), The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins most cleverly treats that setup less like a gimmick and more like a liability. In the new NBC sitcom from co-creators Robert Carlock and Sam Means (the Emmy-winning guys behind 30 Rock), the camera isn’t just there to catch punchlines from its titular lead, played hilariously by the iconic Tracy Morgan. Instead, it’s there to ruin things — or at least, further embarrass people with enough precision that it could be the same thing.
The 10-episode series feels familiar at first as a disgraced former football superstar lets a documentary crew follow him around as he attempts to refine his public image. But with the addition of Daniel Radcliffe’s pretentious and self-conscious filmmaker Arthur Tobin capturing every moment behind the lens, the single-camera comedy is anything but. With both carrying their own versions of reputational baggage, the half-hour sitcom thrives on the chaos of watching two men who love controlling the narrative get trapped inside the constant replay.
And that’s where The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkinsreally separates itself from mockumentary alums. The camera is never objective or silent because it belongs to Arthur, an award-winning director who’s too pretentious, fragile, and emotionally invested to pretend he isn’t shaping the story in real-time. That push-and-pull turns the comedy into a sharp riff on image control, public shame, and all the increasingly ridiculous ways people try to rewrite their own legacy when eyes are on them. Having watched the entire show twice, it’s by far one of the sharpest comedies from the past five years. With heart and humor that sneaks up on you and one-liners that are sure to stick, it’s more than just a must-watch this season, but also one of the best new comedies of 2026.

What Is ‘The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins’ About?
Following its preview after the NFL playoff game this past January on NBC, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins is ready to make its official debut on Monday, February 23. But if you missed it the first time around, it’s the kind of premiere that tells you everything you need to know about the show’s sense of humor and tone in its first 10 minutes. Morgan’s Reggie was at the top of his game once as one of the best players of the New York Jets, but is now living in this strange post-fame purgatory where people will still recognize him (hats off to Mike Carlsen for playing a consistently obnoxious New Yorker) and then immediately remember not to clap.
Of course, Reggie is convinced a documentary will be the cleanest way to get his reputation back, but the problem is, he’s surrounded by people close to him who are still reeling from his social fall. Like Monica (Erika Alexander), his ex-wife and manager, who will fix every situation for her former husband (and the father of their teenage son, Carmelo, played by Jalyn Hall), but is also exhausted doing it. It’s the same for his young influencer fiancée, Brina (Precious Way), who isn’t interested in being an accessory to his comeback story. Even his best friend and former teammate (and now housemate), Rusty (Bobby Moynihan), is a walking reminder of Reggie’s glory days and his worst impulses, depending on the day, actually.
But while the “Pilot” lays the groundwork with an enjoyable dose of comedy, the episodes that follow are where the show really starts to have fun with the premise as Arthur becomes an active agent in their lives. What begins as a straightforward comeback spirals into a parade of unhinged situations that are wildly specific and weirdly character-driven, like Reggie clinging to a decades-old “food poisoning” debacle that Arthur needs more answers on, Rusty being on an all-butter diet after a child convinces him it’s good for you, or Monica’s post-divorce dating life taking a horrifying detour (trust me, you’ll laugh out loud even if it’s dark AF). Even Arthur gets into his own steamy shenanigans with an appearance by Megan Thee Stallion, who definitely owns every scene she’s in.

But because the series is never afraid to swing big, it also leans into genre play, like an episode that plays most charmingly to an Agatha Christie mystery episode where paranoia takes over Reggie’s mansion, or Brina flirting with a reality dating show that is even crazier when you realize what you do about its host. All in all, the first season does a stellar job of expanding the world around Reggie in ways that make the comedy feel bigger than the documentary aspect itself.
The ‘Reggie Dinkins’ Ensemble Makes the Chaos Feel Effortless
Because it never loses track of how these characters bounce off each other, the show’s momentum only gets stronger as it goes thanks to its ensemble. With Morgan as the quick-witted engine of the series, he makes The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins feel effortless even when the comedy is at maximum absurdity. While his funniest moments aren’t always the loud ones, he has some incredible throwaways that hit because he treats Reggie’s delusion like it’s completely reasonable whether it’s proudly pointing out the taco named after him at Hardee’s or owning a Miss Piggy-skin football (RIP, queen). But it’s these random jokes that the SNL alum plays with straight-faced sincerity that make the show what it is.
Meanwhile, Radcliffe’s Arthur is the perfect balance to Morgan because the actor commits to his character’s self-seriousness so much that it becomes the comedy. Nailing that tonal tightrope too, he pivots most refreshingly from dry, British discomfort to genuinely raw self-pity without a genre shift. Playing someone who wants to be this Werner Herzog, authoritative documentarian but keeps giving himself away with tiny humorous reactions that you need to see to believe, Radcliffe treats Arthur less like a man behind the camera and more a security blanket for his own emotional issues, and that’s where his performance gets sneakily rich.
’30 Rock’ left its audience wishing these series and movies were real.
Supporting the pair are Alexander and Moynihan, who are absolutely perfect casting. These two are the show’s perfect example of when stability meets chaos and tries to manage something that makes sense. Alexander never plays Monica like an exhausted fixer, but instead gives her a sharp, controlled energy where you can see her doing mental math in real time. Naturally, Moynihan barrels into Rusty with a heartwarming joy and hilarity that really cranks the jokes up to an eleven. Between moments like the spa candling aftermath, a vocal ad-lib on a viral track that will have you howling with laughter, or finally reading the NFL rule book, he’s so good at disrupting scenes without making them feel like sketch comedy.

Rounding out the trio is Way, who gives real dimension to Brina by grounding her influencer caricature in actual frustration, especially in the episodes where Reggie can’t even figure out why she’s mad or why he won’t pin down a wedding date. And Hall is quietly terrific as Carmelo, playing the believable teenager who’s sharp enough to clock all the nonsense from the adults, but still young enough to get caught between wanting the perks and wanting his parents to act like parents. Along the way, the sitcom brings a stacked bench of guest stars too who fit seamlessly into the madness, like Craig Robinson as a Michael Strahan-stylized caricature named Jerry Basmati who is also Reggie’s smug rival. There’s also The Daily Showstandouts, like Ronny Chieng as a hilariously dramatic sports agent and Michael Kostapopping in with the kind of deadpan sports-host energy that makes Reggie’s public humiliation feel even more official.
‘The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins’ Comedy Makes the Absurd Feel Earned

One of the sheer joys of The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins is the writing. Longtime fan of shows like 30 Rock and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt will see that particular style of comedy here, but it’s also its own thing. Carlock and Means steer the ship with Tina Fey, David Miner, Eric Gurian, and Morgan in producer roles, for a show that feels sharply paced and clever in its joke-dense rhythm without ever recycling old tricks — even if there are a few 30 Rock Easter eggs. But as the humor moves fast, it’s rarely random. Even some of the most absurd bits, like a hashtag to support Reggie Dinkins standing for something entirely different or an existential side quest into the forest with Reggie and Arthur trying to find a missing cat named Namath (like, Joe), are all rooted in character logic. The jokes land because they expose something, not just because they’re weird.

That being said, what’s especially impressive about the NBC sitcom is how it can pivot tones without snapping itself in half. One minute, it’s skewing apology culture or viral beef, and the next, it’s letting a sincerely surprising moment breathe between Monica, Reggie, and Arthur into a revelation. It’s this kind of writing that understands Reggie’s biggest flaw is not ego, but rather avoidance. It keeps finding new ways to poke at that aspect of our sports hero without turning the show into a lecture.
By the back half of the season, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins is confident enough to let jokes land sideways and find its balance between sharp satire, emotional awareness, and the laugh-out-loud commitment to a bit that makes the series feel bigger than your standard network comedy. With jokes that come fast and stick hard (with some delightfully funny and memorable one-liners), it’s rare to see a sitcom that only gets better as it goes.
The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.
Caleb Flynn — who auditioned for “American Idol” in 2013 — is back in the limelight but for all the wrong reasons … he’s just been arrested for allegedly murdering his wife.
Flynn was apprehended Thursday by the Tipp City PD in Ohio and booked into the county jail for murder, felonious assault and tampering with evidence, according to official records. Caleb also posed for a mug shot with no expression on his face.

Police say they discovered his wife Ashley‘s body inside the couple’s Tipp City home, just north of Dayton, after cops received a report of a burglary at the residence.
Authorities say Caleb shot 37-year-old Ashley using a 9mm semiautomatic handgun and then staged the crime scene, leading officers astray.

WHIO-TV obtained dispatch logs that described the moment officers arrived at the scene, believing someone had broken into the home. The dispatcher warned the alleged prowler might still be there, and the “garage door is open.”

During Season 12 of “American Idol,” Caleb didn’t make the cut during his audition … but he did give an interview as part of his trial, in which he gushed about his love for music — and his wife.
Spoiler Alert: This list contains spoilers for The Night Agent Season 3.The Night Agent Season 3 ended with a neat and tidy resolution to Peter’s (Gabriel Basso) latest case. But his work doesn’t stop here. While the hit Netflix series hasn’t officially been renewed for a fourth season,there has been talks of a shift in production location thatsuggests one will be in the works. Considering The Night Agent remains one of the streamer’s most-watched series, and Season 3 is arguably the best one yet, it’s almost a given that it will continue.
That leads us to where the plot will go from here. While it’s obvious Peter will pick up another case while working as a night agent for the secret Night Action branch of the FBI and government, there are other questions that need answers beyond just what the case will be and what actors will be joining and returning to the cast.

Who is Peter’s Potential New Partner?

At the end of Season 3 of one of the most anticipated Netflix shows of 2026, FBI Deputy Director Aidan (Albert Jones) urges Peter to take some time off. He hasn’t taken a break for over a year, arguably longer. Since getting that phone from Jacob Monroe (Louis Herthum), he had been biding his time, taking on case after case while waiting for the fateful call to help take the billionaire broker down. Now that the case is over and Jacob is dead, Peter can finally relax. And Aidan wants him to do just that.
But he also tells Aidan that once he does return, likely very soon, he has put in a request for a partner. Aidan mentions that he has someone in mind for him, so the big question is who this person will be. Will it be a character we already know or a new cast member? This is probably the biggest question for Season 4 as this person will likely be a big part of the story.

Does Peter Ever Reunite With Rose?

We knew after Season 2 of the action thriller, one of the best spy and secret agent shows on Netflix, that Luciane Buchanan would not be returning to the show. In the plot, she and Peter decide that it’s best they stay away from one another, as much as they want to be together. When she is around, people use her importance to Peter to get to him, and he ends up making dangerous decisions to protect her. It’s best that they separate so others can’t use her against him, and he doesn’t feel like he’s putting her in danger. His job requires him to travel the world anyway, going to places to work on jobs he can’t reveal. So, a relationship simply wouldn’t work.
That said, a reunion of sorts would be nice. In Season 3, Peter visits the human resources department to ask about leaving his benefits in the event of his death to someone, and he names Rose. But he’s told that he can only leave them to family, a stark reminder that Peter has no living relatives or even close friends. Rose is all he has, so it would be nice to see her in his life in some capacity, even if not romantically.

What Will the Next Big Case Be?

Of course, the big question about Season 4 of one of the best spy shows of the 2020s, is what the next case will be and who will be the bad guy or gal Peter is chasing down. It could be something local since it has been confirmed that the show will be moving from New York to Los Angeles to qualify for a tax credit, according to Deadline. Assuming fans still have an appetite for the series, and it gets an official renewal, the show may either see Peter working a case in Los Angeles or using sets in Hollywood to recreate other locations around the world.
Peter has traveled all over throughout the show, including to countries like Turkey in Season 3 and Thailand in Season 2. So, we can expect a case with international intrigue for Season 4. So far, he has fought off political corruption, a war criminal plotting a chemical attack, and a billionaire broker making money by selling intelligence. A story and script has reportedly already been devised for a fourth season, but we’ll have to wait and see what it will be about.

Do Peter and Adam Ever Cross Paths Again?

Adam (David Lyons) was a compelling character addition in Season 3, a new partner for Peter who, as it turns out, is close personal friends with the President. While Peter is initially hesitant about Adam, the two hit it off and become something close to friends. However, Peter quickly learns that Adam is on assignment of the president and will do whatever is asked of him without question, including trying to kill Chelsea (Fola Evans-Akingbola).
By the end, however, Peter gets through to Adam, who is inherently a good person. He lets the man know that President Richard Hagan (Ward Horton) is not the same man he once knew. He has changed and has done, and continues to do, heinous things. This has fans wondering if maybe Adam might be the person Aidan has in mind to be Peter’s new partner, or if he will have moved on and won’t cross paths with Peter again.

Will We See Chelsea’s Wedding?

The season had us back and forth about Chelsea’s husband and whether he was a good guy or not. It turns out any hints that he might have been working against her were false, and he is indeed a good man. By the end, they were planning their wedding, and it was a joyful moment to see this character who has always been surrounded by death and destruction. Fans wonder if her wedding will be part of the plot of Season 4 or at least shown as a happy occasion where Peter can finally let his guard down and enjoy a night out in a suit and tie.
Season 3 started to dive more into Peter’s personal life, notably his relationship with his mother, who he lost when he was young to cancer. With Chelsea arguably Peter’s only friend and the only person he trusts implicitly (aside from Aidan and Rose), seeing their friendship grow would be nice. Chelsea’s wedding would be a welcome reprieve from the constant intense action.

Will Peter Start To Focus on a Personal Life?

Not since Rose has Peter had a romantic interest. While it’s understandable that he steers clear of that because of his job, maybe it’s time for him to let someone in. Is it possible his new partner is a woman with whom he begins a romantic relationship? This could complicate things, and fans likely don’t want to see Peter tied down and distracted from his work. But he also needs a personal life, too, and seeing him flourish in this respect is one of the reasons you should be watching The Night Agent.
Even if it’s to go out and have drinks with friends, like Adam, Chelsea and her soon-to-be-husband, even Isabel (Genesis Rodriguez) once she returns to the U.S. or Jay (Suraj Sharma), since they seemed to get along well, it would be nice to see Peter relax a little and focus on himself outside of work. At the very least, he needs to have more open and vulnerable conversations like he did with Chelsea in the car. Recalling the memories of being at the beach with his mother helps further humanize the character, making him even more likable to fans.

Will The Father Be Back?

One of the best new characters in the season is the assassin known only as The Father (Stephen Moyer), a man hired by the bad guys to take out anyone who gets in their way. At one point in time, he’s tasked with killing Peter. He’s such a complex character, a man who, after killing two targets, realized they had a baby and took the little boy in as his own. Raising him ever since in hotels and random places, he has clearly done a good job homeschooling the child and turning him into a strong, smart, independent young boy.
In the end, The Father decides to take Peter’s advice and end his cycle of kills, targeting his final victim before heading off into the sunset with the boy. But what is next for him? There could be a whole spin-off about this character! Does he take a basic job and live in the suburbs as a single dad, leaving his assassin past behind him? Has he accrued enough money to run away to another country and live comfortably for the rest of his days? Or does he fall back into his old ways? Inquiring minds need to know! That can’t be the end of his story.
Wait… what just happened in Osceola County? A Florida father, Richard Seymour Ferguson, faces decades in prison. And, it’s not for what he directly did, but for a crash his teen son caused that killed four people. The case has left the community reeling as questions swirl about responsibility and the consequences of one fateful decision.
Four Killed After Unlicensed Teens Allowed To Drive
Richard Seymour Ferguson, 69, is now facing 37 years behind bars after being found guilty of four counts of manslaughter. He allegedly allowed his 15-year-old son to drive a car that killed a grandmother and her three young grandchildren. Calling himself “a deeply broken man,” Ferguson wept in court on Wednesday, February 18, as he apologized to the victims’ family. He also added that each day he is “living in grief and regret.”
The tragic crash occurred on September 3, 2023, when Ferguson’s son drove more than twice the speed limit, ran a stop sign, and collided with a gray Honda carrying Trinidad Hernandez, 50, and her grandchildren, 11-year-old Miley Cruz, 1-year-old Anayari Hernandez, and 9-year-old Marvin Cruz. Four of the five occupants were killed, while Angel Hernandez, the children’s grandfather, survived with serious injuries. Investigators said Ferguson allowed his son and three other unlicensed teens to drive that night, even moving a pickup out of the driveway so the boys could leave in a Chevy Impala.
Ferguson Shows Remorse, Victims’ Family Responds
At his sentencing in Kissimmee, Ferguson, stricken with Stage 4 cancer, admitted he let his son back the car out but claimed he didn’t intend for him to drive off alone. “I am sorry that I played a part… I took the easy way out,” he said, acknowledging he could have done more to stop the tragedy. Despite his apology, Sabrina Hernandez, the mother of the victims, called Ferguson “extremely cowardly.” She also claimed that his lack of accountability robbed her children of their lives.
