MINEOLA, N.Y. — There’s a new effort to solve murders on Long Island. 

Law enforcement joined victims’ families Thursday to urge the public to help close the books on four unsolved homicides, CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff reported. 

Families waiting years for justice joined Nassau County police and prosecutors with a plea. 

“We cannot solve crimes … without witnesses being willing to step forward and speak up,” said Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly. 

Thiasia Williams, a 28-year-old nurse, was picking up her boyfriend at a birthday party on MLK Drive in Hempstead in August 2020 when shots were sprayed from a white car. Her mother is desperate for justice. 

“Please help provide, give me some peace to know something,” said Aurora Williams. 

“She left a young son...

After appearing to clear a number of other legal hurdles, President Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan has been blocked.

Last week, a federal district court in Texas issued a ruling calling the plan “unconstitutional,” which the Department of Justice has already appealed on Biden’s behalf. And on Monday, addressing a separate lawsuit, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals continued an existing pause on the relief while it considers the plaintiff’s arguments. 

The bottom line for borrowers: You probably won’t be seeing your debt balances reduced as soon as the president had said...

More questions than answers continue to plague the Moscow, Idaho, community after the fatal stabbing of four University of Idaho students – and police said they cannot assure the community is safe.

Fry also said two of the victims – Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle – were at a party on campus, while the other two victims – Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves – were at a downtown bar prior to their deaths.

All four arrived back home sometime after 1:45 a.m. local time, Fry said. They were killed “sometime in the early morning hours of Sunday, November 13,” Fry said.

State Farm Arena was transformed into a church Friday as family and fans gathered to celebrate the earthly departure of Takeoff from Migos.

The three-hour sendoff was a superstar affair, featuring performances from Justin Bieber, Chloe Bailey and Yolanda Adams, as well as a poem by Drake, and words of remembrance from Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and the founders of Migos’ label, Quality Control Music.

Cousin Offset, who along with Takeoff’s uncle, Quavo, formed the platinum hit factory known as Migos, struggled to compose himself remembering his bandmate, who he grew up with and considered a brother. His head down, dreadlocks obscuring his face, he repeatedly apologized.

Offset repeatedly breaks down Friday during Takeoff’s memorial service at Atlanta’s State Farm A...

The first error(s) of the 2022 World Series came before its first pitch, courtesy of Eric Burton.

The Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter of the Black Pumas opened Game 1 of the Fall Classic on Friday with a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” containing multiple lyrical errors and pitch issues.

Burton was in trouble just a couple notes into the performance at the Houston Astros‘ Minute Maid Park, but the misadventures didn’t really start until he reached second stanza. To get a sense of what went wrong, here are the first two stanzas of the national anthem as they are supposed to be sung:

Oh, say, can you see

By the dawn’s early light

What so proudly we hail’d

At the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars

Through the perilous fight
