Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:43:35 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — New information on Vinchenzo Moscoso, the suspect in deadly stabbings on an RTD bus and at a bus stop Thursday, shows he had a lengthy criminal background. Documents obtained by FOX31 show Moscoso was currently on parole for aggravated robbery but also note other violations, including trespassing."To say that this individual should have never been out in the community is easy to say in hindsight,” FOX31 legal analyst Chris Decker said. “The problem is sorting out who we should release, when we should release them, what level of supervision, when do we decide to revoke people and send them back to prison. These are very difficult decisions." Moscoso, 29, was arrested in the killing of a woman near an RTD bus stop near Regis University. Soon after, police connected him to another deadly stabbing earlier that morning on an RTD bus.Vinchenzo Moscoso was arrested in two deadly stabbings on Sept. 14, 2023.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Rob Refsnyder hit a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning and the Boston Red Sox snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 win over the playoff-chasing Texas Rangers, who lost their fourth in a row even after getting two All-Star players back in their lineup Monday night.Boston rallied against reliever Will Smith (2-7), who walked No. 8 batter Luis Urias and then gave up a double that snapped No. 9 batter Connor Wong’s 0-for-17 slide.

Refsnyder leads Red Sox to rare late comeback over Rangers

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:43:35 GMT

For too much of this season, the stars haven’t aligned for the Red Sox.When their pitching is on, their hitting is off. When their lineup is hot, it’s often because their pitching is ice cold.But on Monday night in Texas, the Red Sox managed to pitch and hit, and as a result, overcame an early deficit and snapped their four-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Rangers.Kutter Crawford’s excellent night was bookended by trouble, but he was able to work his way out of both jams with minimal damage. The series opener’s starter began the bottom of the first by giving up a first-pitch leadoff home run to Marcus Semien, putting Boston in an immediate 1-0 hole. The Red Sox entered the series 26-52 when opponents score first, so the early deficit didn’t bode well for their starter or the game’s outcome.But after a one-out single in the first, the 27-year-old right-hander settled down and retired the next 14 batters en route to a quality start. In front of a crowd that include...

NEW YORK (AP) — More than 30 Atlantic countries on four continents committed Monday to bolster coordination on economic development, environmental protection, maritime issues and more, the White House said. The adoption of the Declaration on Atlantic Cooperation was completed Monday evening at a meeting hosted by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken ahead of the start of the annual U.N.

He noted that the Atlantic hosts the largest amount of international shipping and, through undersea cables, is a thoroughfare for data traffic than any other ocean.However, he said the Atlantic is also threatened by climate change, which has brought stronger and more devastating storms to vulnerable coastal communities and illegal fishing. “It’s the heating and cooling of the Atlantic that is driving global climate and weather patterns,” he said.The declaration includes a commitment...
