Police have released a surveillance photo of the van that is believed to have struck and killed six-year-old Anthony Castellon-Rivera on Sunday afternoon.

Detectives have charged the parents of a 10-month-old infant who was found dead by police responding to a call to the family's home in Hickory Grove on Sunday morning. CMPD announced the arrests yesterday evening, saying that an investigation and a consultation with the medical examiner's office found that Tayara Beecham was assaulted before her death. Basheba Freeman, 20, and Taquan Beecham, 23, were both charged with homicide due to child abuse and taken into custody. (Ryan Pitkin) 

The man killed in a plane crash on a Boone golf course yesterday was reportedly a retired North Carolina state trooper. Ben Chappell, 69, died at the scene, while two other men riding in the plane with him survived. The plane crashed on a golf course near the Boone Airport just before 1 p.m. after reportedly pulling a touch-and-go at the airport, hitting the runway and immediately taking back off. The two men were rushed to the hospital by helicopter in critical condition. (Dave Faherty, WSOC)
