Moorhead, MN (KFGO) – Moorhead police are searching for a murder suspect who is considered armed and dangerous.
25-year old Oscar Ortiz is wanted for a shooting death in Killdeer, North Dakota on Sunday.
The North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation contacted Moorhead Police early Tuesday morning regarding Ortiz. The BCI believes he was picked up in the area of the 3600 block of 8th Street South. Officers spotted Ortiz as he ran from the area. His vehicle was later found on Rivershore Drive.
Despite a K9 track and the use of the Moorhead drone team, he has not been found. It’s not known of Ortiz is still in the area or if he may have been picked up by someone else. A female friend was found and taken into custody.
He’s described as Hispanic, 5′-5″, 160 pounds wearing blue jeans and either a long sleeve blue t-shirt or no shirt.
Property owners in the area are asked to check their surveillance equipment.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
RED LAKE, Minn. (AP) — Authorities say a Red Lake Nation tribal officer has been shot and killed in the line of duty. The FBI’s Minneapolis office says on Twitter that the incident happened Tuesday morning while police were responding to a call at a home on the reservation. The FBI post says authorities apprehended the shooter and “investigation is underway.” Red Lake Tribal Council Chairman Darrell Seki ordered flags lowered to half-staff and shut down non-essential programs on Tuesday “out of respect and honor” for the fallen officer. The Red Lake Reservation is located in northwest Minnesota, about 160 miles from the Canadian border.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The highest ranking Republican in the Wisconsin Assembly says he doesn’t know what a forensic audit of the state’s 2020 presidential election results would prove. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said Tuesday that he thinks two other ongoing election investigations are sufficient, while disagreeing publicly with a GOP colleague who called for yet another, broader probe. Vos also didn’t commit to providing any additional resources to conduct a “comprehensive, forensic examination” that state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, chairwoman of the Assembly elections committee, called for on Monday. Vos says the ongoing review by the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau is a forensic audit.
In world and national news…
(AP) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reversing course on some masking guidelines. The agency announced new recommendations Tuesday that even vaccinated people should return to wearing masks indoors in parts of the U.S. where the coronavirus is surging. Scientists cited new information about the ability of the delta variant to spread among vaccinated people. The CDC also recommended indoor masks for all teachers, staff, students and visitors to schools, regardless of vaccination status. The new guidance follows recent decisions in Los Angeles and St. Louis to revert to indoor mask mandates amid a spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations that have been especially bad in the South.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Four officers who defended the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection have given emotional accounts of the attack. They testified Tuesday that they were beaten as the mob of Donald Trump supporters overwhelmed them, broke through windows and doors and interrupted the congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential win. A new House committee is launching its probe with a focus on the law enforcement officers who protected lawmakers and the Capitol itself.. Officers testified with emotion that they felt they might well be killed. And they rebuked Republican lawmakers for resisting the investigation and playing down the violence of the mob.
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A former Oregon lawmaker who was expelled for letting violent, far-right protesters into the state Capitol has pleaded guilty to one count of official misconduct. The Statesman Journal reports that Mike Nearman was sentenced Tuesday to 18 months parole, during which he will need to complete 80 hours of community service and is banned from the Capitol building and grounds. He will also pay $200 in court fees and $2,700 to the Oregon Legislative Administration for damages done during the Dec. 21 riot. Last month Nearman, a Republican from Polk County, became the first member of the Oregon House to be expelled in its 160-year history. The House voted 59-1 to remove him from the Legislature for disorderly behavior.
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a major step against climate change, President Joe Biden is proposing a return to aggressive Obama-era vehicle mileage standards over five years. He’s then aiming for even tougher anti-pollution rules after that to forcefully reduce greenhouse gas emissions and nudge 40% of U.S. drivers into electric vehicles by decade’s end. That’s according to proposed rules from the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation that are expected to be released as early as next week. Industry and government officials who have been briefed on the plan tell The Associated Press the requirements would start for model year 2023.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina man has been convicted of abducting and murdering the woman who mistook his car for her Uber ride in 2019. A jury on Tuesday found Nathaniel Rowland guilty in the death of 21-year-old Samantha Josephson of Robbinsville, New Jersey. The University of South Carolina student disappeared in March 2019. Her body was found less than a day later in remote woods. Prosecutors said Rowland had trapped Josephson in the car with childproof locks that could only be opened from the outside and then stabbed her more than 100 times. Defense attorneys argued that none of Rowland’s DNA was found on the victim.
