Man accused of carjacking WREG reporter appears in court
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The man accused of carjacking WREG Reporter Mike Suriani earlier this week appeared in court on Friday. Lashunaye Railford, 43, was charged with carjacking and possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. On Tuesday, Reporter Mike Suriani was approached while attempting to fill up at the Mobil gas station on E.H. Crump Boulevard and Third Street at around 10:30 a.m. A man wearing a mask walked up to Suriani with his hand on a gun sticking out of his pocket and demanded his news vehicle. The man got away with the WREG vehicle along with all of Suriani's personal items and equipment. Suriani was left uninjured. The Memphis Police Department says the suspect, identified as Railford, was found on Wednesday in the Toyota RAV4 in the 1700 block of South Orleans Street and was taken into custody. Man accused of carjacking WREG reporter arrested 'Carjacking is a class B felony; you face 8 to 30 years confinement should you be convicted of that offense,' said Judge Taylor Bachelor, General Sessions – Division VII. 'You face an additional mandatory minimum three, five, six, or 10-year sentence depending on the facts of the case,' said Judge Bachelor. Railford told the judge that the $75,000 bond and an attorney were unaffordable, and a public defender, Javier Bailey II, has been appointed. Railford's new, court-appointed attorney asked the judge to have his client mentally evaluated. Suspect wanted after WREG reporter carjacked at gunpoint in Memphis Bailey and Railford spoke briefly before Bailey told the court they did not want a bail review hearing, but did want a mental evaluation. WREG Investigators uncovered Railford's criminal history, to include an arrest in 2005 for burglary of a motor vehicle and theft, for which he served six months in jail. In 2010, Railford was convicted of attempted second-degree murder and aggravated assault and served six years. Railford is set to appear in court on June 27 for the results of the mental evaluation requested. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Nottinghamshire Police said Harley Fox was injured outside the Market Inn, in Main Street, Huthwaite, at about 21:10 BST on Sunday. The 34-year-old died in hospital on Tuesday.

Police said another man was assaulted at the same location. Mr Fox's family released a tribute to him through the force. It said: "Harley was absolutely devoted to his family and there are no words that can even begin to express the devastation felt by everyone who knew him. "He is loved by so many, had the biggest heart and was always the first person to help anyone in need. "He was so full of life and lived it to the max. Motorbikes, boats, go-karts - in fact engines of any kind - and he was happy. "Harley, we love you so much. Fly high until we meet again." Follow BBC Nottingham on Facebook, on X, or on Instagram.
