May 20—STOCKTON — Law enforcement agencies from all over California met at the Christina Life Church in Stockton Wednesday to honor a fallen officer, including Lodi Police Department and its Honor Guard.

The department was on hand to pay respects to Stockton Police Department Officer Jimmy Inn, who was killed in the line of duty while responding to a domestic violence call last week.

Inn, 30, was a six-year veteran of the department, a McNair High School alumni and graduate of the San Joaquin Delta College POST Academy.

Along with Lodi police, officers from San Francisco, Redwood City, Tracy, Gustine, Modesto and Manteca, among other departments, were on hand, as well as deputies from Fresno, Mendocino and Stanislaus county sheriff's offices.

The funeral service began at 11 a.m., and Inn's body was taken to Cherokee Memorial Cemetery in Lodi via procession at 1 p.m.

On May 11 at 9:45 a.m., Inn responded to a domestic violence report on the 4400 block of La Cresta Way. The caller, according to Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones, reported hearing screaming and seeing a woman with a ripped shirt who was bleeding and appeared to have been assaulted.

After Inn arrived on scene, he knocked on the security door to the home and stood to the side, Jones said last week. A voice from inside said "Hey Police," and a man immediately opened the door, shooting Inn multiple times.

As Officer Pancho Freer arrived on scene he heard gunshots and saw an armed man standing over Inn. The man began shooting at Freer and struck his patrol vehicle, Freer returned fire from inside his vehicle, Jones said.

The man briefly entered the house, then returned outside with an 8-year-old boy. He began to strangle the boy and refused to comply with Freer's commands. As Freer approached, a citizen tackled the man, freeing the boy. Freer then fired his weapons multiple times, striking and killing the man, Jones said.

Inn and the man, later identified as Lance Lowe, were both taken to area hospitals, where both died from their injuries.

Inn is survived by his wife Tela, who is also a Stockton police officer and Delta College graduate, as well as a 7-month-old son, a 12-year-old stepdaughter and 14-year-old stepson.

    SNP ministers are facing demands to “open the books” over their dealings with steel magnate Sanjeev Gupta after they refused to say whether his company had broken a promise made in exchange for a huge taxpayer-backed funding guarantee. Mr Gupta’s GFG Alliance, which is in crisis following the collapse of its main financial backer Greensill Capital, had been due to make a substantial ‘milestone payment’ into a Scottish Government-controlled ‘project account’ by March. Cash in the account, which had a balance of £8 million as of February, is supposed to be used to invest in its Lochaber estate which Mr Gupta took over with taxpayer support in 2016. However, both the Scottish Government and GFG have refused to say whether the payment, due seven weeks ago, had been paid.

    For years, China’s tech entrepreneurs were considered rock stars: Icons whose rags-to-riches career paths, guile and contempt for the rulebook earned them cult-like status. One high profile casualty has been Alibaba founder Jack Ma, who in October publicly chided Chinese officials for a lack of imagination and “pawnshop mentality,” prompting their leader, President Xi Jinping, to torpedo the planned record $37 billion public listing of Alibaba’s fintech arm, Ant Group. Tensions between Ma—once China’s richest man—and officials might have catalyzed regulators, but the wheels of a harsh new regulatory regime were already gathering pace.

  • Mom Allegedly Killed Son for Thwarting Her Affair. Now She’s Accused in Murder-for-Hire Plot.

    via FacebookA New Jersey mom awaiting trial for murdering her infant son because he was getting in the way of her affair has been hit with new charges—this time for allegedly conspiring with her boyfriend in a murder-for-hire plot.Heather Reynolds, 43, and boyfriend, 44-year-old Jeffrey Callahan, were charged this week with first-degree conspiracy to commit murder, the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office said Wednesday. Reynolds was already being held at Camden County Jail on a slew of charges, including murder and endangering the welfare of a child, in connection to the May 10, 2018 death of her 17-month-old son Axel Reynolds.“During the investigation into Axel’s death, detectives uncovered evidence that Reynolds and Callahan were allegedly conspiring to have another individual killed,” prosecutors said in a news release announcing the charges. Details of the murder-for-hire scheme have not been released.Back in 2018, officers responded to Gloucester Township after reports of an unresponsive child on a lawn. Prosecutors allege that the 17-month-old had bruises around his mouth and nose and Reynolds told EMTs she believed he may have accidentally ingested something poisonous. He was pronounced dead at the scene.“Although no one had accused [Reynolds] of any wrongdoing, she blurted out, ‘It’s not suspicious. I didn’t do anything wrong,’” Assistant Prosecutor Peter Gallagher said during a 2019 court hearing, according to NJ.com. Axel Reynolds died from being suffocated by a poisonous wet wipe, officials said. Tribute Slides/Earle Funeral Home The medical examiner concluded on Jun 7, 2018, that Axel died of asphyxia and his death was a homicide, authorities said. Blood tests showed trace levels of isopropyl alcohol, which is used in antiseptics and acetone, prompting the medical examiner to conclude the infant suffocated after “a wipe containing isopropyl alcohol and detergent was placed over the mouth and nose,” according to NJ.com.Gallagher said that during the investigation, witnesses later revealed that Reynolds had used meth the night before Axel’s death and a small residue of the drug was found in her purse. Text messages obtained from Reynolds’ damaged phone showed that she was having an affair while her husband was working in another state.“A review of the text messages between the defendant and her boyfriend from the previous night reveal that [Reynolds] was becoming frustrated by the boyfriend’s apparent lack of interest,” Gallagher said in 2019. “And witnesses also told detectives that [Reynolds] had expressed the sentiment that her toddler son, the victim A.R., was an obstacle to her relationship with her boyfriend.”The prosecutor added that the boyfriend, who was not identified at the time, also slept over the night of the murder but left before police arrived.Reynolds was indicted by a grand jury on June 13, 2018. During a 2019 hearing in which Reynolds was ordered to be detained pending trial, her defense attorney insisted that while she struggled with addiction she did not kill her son.“She adamantly denies that she has anything to do with the death of her child,” attorney Michael Testa said. “She’s suffered greatly as a result of this.”https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10211102659434848&set=pb.1607262985.-2207520000..&type=3An online tribute written by one of Axel Reynolds’ aunts described him as the “sweetest little boy who had a smile that made the room glow and everyone around you feel the innocence and peace that you radiated.”Callahan, who was arrested on Monday, is set to appear in court on Friday for a detention hearing. Reynolds’ next court date hasn't been set. An attorney for both was not immediately available for comment. One of Reynolds’ relatives declined to comment on the new charges, telling The Daily Beast “unfortunately our family can not really comment on anything until the trial is over.”Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
