🚨 JULY 10 SENTENCING UPDATE: A former Texas fifth-grade teacher who had worked at about 20 Austin schools was sentenced to 200 months in federal prison after investigators found more than 365,000 files involving the s*xual abuse of children across his devices. Court records also said real classroom photos of his students had been altered using AI.

Carl David Innmon, 51, pleaded guilty to possessing child s*xual abuse material. He will also spend 10 years under federal supervision after leaving prison.

A forensic search found more than 16,000 files on his laptop and another 349,728 on an external hard drive. Federal prosecutors said thousands involved children under 12.

Innmon was teaching fifth grade at Baranoff Elementary when he was arrested in April 2025. He had previously worked as a substitute teacher at about 20 other Austin ISD schools.

And the investigation did not stop with files downloaded from the internet.

Federal court documents said his devices contained many real photos of students inside a classroom. Investigators said some were placed into an AI tool that removed the children’s clothing and created fake explicit images. Austin ISD and district police helped identify two of the children as Innmon’s students.

He was trusted with a classroom, daily access to children and photos their families never expected anyone to misuse.

Now he is a convicted federal offender heading to prison.

Parents, ask schools who may photograph students, whether employees can use personal phones, where images are stored and how long they are kept. Schools also need strict rules against staff downloading, copying or uploading student photos into outside apps.

And talk to children about fake images. An edited picture can still violate, humiliate and harm them, even when the image was created by AI.

A classroom photo should never become material for an adult’s abuse.

🚨 JULY 7 DOUBLE-MURDER ARREST UPDATE: Thirteen-year-old Demarcus Shirley was sleeping at a friend’s Georgia home when more than 40 rounds tore into the house around 4 a.m., killing him, 45-year-old Chauncey Newman and a dog while several other boys were inside.

Demarcus did not live there. He had simply gone over for a sleepover.

Keyshun Webb, 21, was arrested July 7 in Hampton and is being held without bond at the DeKalb County Jail. He faces two murder counts, eight counts of aggravated assault with a weapon and one count of cruelty to animals.

He is charged, not convicted.

Police say the shooting happened July 2 at a home on Rockcliff Road in DeKalb County. Arrest warrants allege Webb was seen driving a vehicle connected to the attack as dozens of rounds were fired into the home from outside.

Two boys who survived said they had been asleep when the gunfire started. One later went upstairs, found Demarcus and tried to grab him, but the 13-year-old was already dead.

The other children inside escaped without physical injuries. But they saw their friend killed during what should have been a normal night with friends.

Demarcus was remembered as a funny, active child who liked to play and had nothing to do with the streets. His great-uncle said he was eager to learn and had his whole life ahead of him.

Friends described Chauncey as someone who opened his home to children who had nowhere else to go.

Investigators believe the shooting may have involved four men and two vehicles. Arrest warrants also connect Webb to another drive-by shooting about 30 minutes later, roughly nine miles away, where a woman was injured. Authorities say shell casings from the two scenes matched and gang involvement was considered likely.

Police have not announced a motive or publicly identified the other suspected shooters.

Bullets fired into a home do not stop with whoever the shooter intended to hit. They tear through walls, bedrooms and children’s sleepovers.

Demarcus went to spend the night with friends.

He never made it home.

An Iowa mother will spend five years in prison after taking Klonopin, passing out beside her infant son and waking to find him headfirst and unresponsive inside a trash can next to the bed. A blood test later found m**hamphetamine and benzodiazepines in her system.

Jaley Bush, 29, pleaded guilty to child endangerment and involuntary manslaughter in May.

Bush was visiting a friend in Keokuk on Jan. 27, 2025, when she and her baby fell asleep in a basement bedroom. She told police the child had been lying on the inside of the bed and must have crawled over or around her before falling into the trash can.

Officers arrived around 2 p.m. and tried to save him. Police said Bush appeared impaired, spoke with slurred speech and admitted taking Klonopin, although she said she did not know who the pills belonged to.

Her son remained hospitalized for nine days before dying on Feb. 5. An autopsy found that he died from asphyxiation.

Bush was sentenced to five years and will serve her time at the Iowa Correctional Institution for Women.

Never sleep beside a baby after using drugs, drinking alcohol or taking medicine that makes you drowsy. Put the baby alone, on their back, in a clear crib or bassinet. If you are too impaired to stay awake, call a sober adult and get the child somewhere safe.

A baby should never have to crawl around an unconscious adult to escape danger.

Five years is the sentence. Her son got no second chance.
