Two of the three suspected MS-13 members arrested following a bat and knife attack outside a Burger King restaurant in New York this week were previously held by Homeland Security - but were ordered released by federal judges, officials said.

Nobeli Montes Zuniga, 20, Ramon Arevalo Lopez, 19, and Oscar Canales Molina, 17, are facing second-degree assault charges related to the brawl outside the fast food restaurant in Huntington Station on Wednesday. All three entered the U.S. illegally as unaccompanied minors. Two 16-year-olds suffered injuries in the fight, one with a stab wound, according to authorities.

"While it's not clear what the groups were fighting about, one thing is clear - everyone arrested are confirmed members of MS-13," Suffolk Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said Thursday following the announcement of their arrests.

The incident started to unfold after the victims, who were eating inside Burger King, "noticed a group of Hispanic males who they recognized from [Huntington High] school, including the three defendants, staring at them in a menacing way," Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini said in a statement obtained by Fox News. "The teens felt uncomfortable and proceeded to leave the restaurant."

Sini says the three suspects then "allegedly charged after the teens, while wielding bats and knives, and an altercation broke out between the two groups."
MS-13 CRACKDOWN SEVERELY REDUCES GANG'S VIOLENT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN NEW YORK STRONGHOLD

Witnesses told investigators they saw Zuniga, Lopez and Molina fleeing the scene in a black car which was tracked down by police about an hour later. Officers who arrested the trio say they were found with blood on their clothing, hands and on the vehicle. Two knives also were recovered from Canales Molina, including a small one that "appeared to be covered in blood, which was found in his shoe," the District Attorney's Office said.

All three had their bail set at $35,000 cash or $75,000 bond during a court appearance Thursday. They face a maximum of seven years in prison if convicted.

But it is not the first time they have appeared on law enforcement's radar - on the state or federal levels.

"All three defendants were previously confirmed as MS-13 gang members by the Suffolk County Police Department," the District Attorney's Office said. "Thereafter, Arevalo Lopez was detained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Oct. 24, 2017, and was ordered released from custody by a federal District Court judge on June 12, 2018. Canales Molina was detained by ICE on July 24, 2017, and was released from custody by a federal judge on Nov. 28, 2017."

In Arevalo Lopez's case, Robert Sweet, the district judge who ordered his release, wrote in his ruling that the El Salvadorian entered the U.S. as a 17-year-old on Dec. 6, 2016, at a crossing along California's border with Mexico.

"Lopez told U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents that he wanted to travel to New York to live with his mother after fleeing gang threats in his home country," Sweet said, echoing a familiar plea from those who have come to the U.S. seeking asylum.

He eventually ended up in his desired destination and "for over ten months without incident, Arevalo Lopez lived with his mother, her partner, and his older brother....in Huntington Station, New York," the ruling said.
NEWS OUTLETS SLAMMED FOR VIDEO HUMANIZING MS-13 MEMBERS, DOWNPLAYING THREAT
But in October 2017, ICE agents - suspicious of his possible gang affiliations - appeared at his front door and asked he stop by their offices for questioning. He obliged and then, following questioning, was arrested and detained at Bergen County Jail, where he was placed with the general prison population, according to the ruling.

Less than a year later, Sweet ordered Arevalo Lopez's release, saying federal investigators "failed to provide an explanation for why ICE detained Arevalo Lopez, other than to state that his arrest was pursuant to a Form I-200 warrant."

"The I-200 in this case, which zeroes in on [Arevalo Lopez's] clothing and social associations, noting in particular that his "clothing and accessories are indicative of gang membership," does not approach "probable cause," Sweet wrote in his ruling.

"Arevalo Lopez has no criminal history; he has never been charged with a crime in this country or any other," he added.

His attorney, Jason Bassett, is also pushing back against police labeling Arevalo Lopez as an MS-13 gang member.

"Ramon is not a member of MS-13 (or any other gang) - being 'confirmed' in some ill-conceived database isn't proof of anything," Bassett told Fox News in an e-mail Friday morning. "While so many of our civil liberties have come under attack, we still cling to the idea that one is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Ramon is innocent of the charges against him."

The region in which the attack happened this week - New York's Long Island - has long been a hotbed of MS-13 criminal activity.

Yet the ongoing state and Trump administration crackdown against MS-13 appears to be taking a toll on the group, as only four homicides recorded there in 2018 appeared to be linked to the gang, down from 14 the year before.

A powerful winter storm, which is being dubbed "Winter Storm Gia" by The Weather Channel, is expected to wallop parts of the U.S. this weekend with snow and ice. Snow is expected to travel along a narrow 1,500-mile-long path that stretches from the Midwest to the East Coast - impacting millions of people.

Northern Missouri and central Illinois will be hit the hardest, potentially seeing more than 8 inches of snow by Sunday, the National Weather Service (NWS) reported Friday morning. The Colorado Rockies and northern Mexico should also anticipate heavy snow, the organization warned.

"In much of swath from Missouri to southern Ohio, this will heavy and wet and a strain to shovel," AccuWeather meteorologist Bill Deger said in a blog post. "The snow will be wet and clinging in nature. Weak tree limbs may give way under the weight of the snow and lead to sporadic power outages."
WHAT IS A POLAR VORTEX? A LOOK AT WHAT COULD BE IN THE FORECAST THIS WINTER
More than 40 million people are currently under winter storm alerts, according to meteorologist Kelly Cass Winter. Major cities such as Indianapolis, Cincinnati and St. Louis have been told to prepare for "significant snowfall" - at least 7 inches in some neighborhoods.

"The snow will be wet and clinging in nature."
- Bill Deger

It will be the first big winter storm of the season for many cities.

St. Louis, in particular, could see the biggest snowfall in five years, NWS meteorologist Kevin Deitsch told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, as the city prepares for up to 9 inches. The heaviest snowfall is slated to arrive overnight Friday for the city.

"Winter weather advisories stretch from Colorado and northern New Mexico to West Virginia, including Denver, Kansas City, Des Moines, Louisville, Columbus and Charleston, West Virginia. These areas should expect conditions that may lead to periodic travel delays, including blowing snow, falling snow and slick roadways," The Weather Channel explained online.

While the storm is expected to travel east by Sunday, most cities along the East Coast won't face nearly as rough conditions as the Midwest.

New York City will probably only see a light dusting, though meteorologists urge residents to bundle up: Temperatures will be about five degrees below average for this time of the year, the NWS told AM NewYork on Friday.

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are only likely to see about 1 to 3 inches of snow.

The Washington, D.C. region could see up to 4 inches.

"Snow will overspread the region Saturday into Sunday. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for portions of the region where there is potential for 5 or more inches of snow. Elsewhere, accumulating snow is still likely," a Twitter account for NWS DC/Baltimore said.

The Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas cruise ship is cutting its journey short after 277 passengers and crew members have been infected with a norovirus, Royal Caribbean Cruises announced Thursday.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas cruise ship is cutting its journey short after 277 passengers and crew members have been infected with a norovirus, Royal Caribbean Cruises announced Thursday.

"We think the right thing to do is to get everyone home early rather than have guests worry about their health" the cruise line said in a statement, adding that returning early "also gives us more time to completely clean and sanitize the ship before her next sailing."

Guest and crew members began getting sick when the ship departed the Port Canaveral in Florida on Jan. 6. The ship, originally scheduled for a 7-night cruise, made its first stop in Haiti Tuesday where the ship hosted a lunch buffet on land, said Abby Perrin, a passenger on the ship told ABC News. That night, Perrin said she and her mother began experiencing symptoms associated with food poisoning, like vomiting.

The next day, the ship arrived to Jamaica, but passengers said they weren't allowed to leave the vessel.

Thursday morning, the ship headed for its next scheduled destination in Cozumel, Mexico, but officials canceled the cruise enroute. Now it is on its way back to Florida.

"It was pretty upsetting that we weren't able to get into Jamaica at all," Perrin said. "Then we were supposed to be in Mexico tomorrow, which we were really excited about, and it turns out we're going back to Florida instead."

About 3 percent of people aboard the ship are affected by the norovirus, according to the cruise company.

Alan Thomas is currently aboard the ship with his spouse and two friends.

"People are still getting sick," he told ABC News. "At a cafe next to Guest Services last night, there was a kid vomiting in the trash can."

Thomas shared a video on Twitter of crew members cleaning the ship. He told ABC News that crew members are not allowing guests to serve themselves food or drinks.

Norovirus is a contagious virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea. A person can become infected through having direct contact with another infected person, consuming contaminated food or water, or touching their nose and mouth after touching contaminated surfaces, according to the CDC.

Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illness in the U.S., according to CDC.

It is not yet known what caused the outbreak, but most instances of norovirus occur in food service settings like restaurants, according to the CDC.

The Royal Caribbean advertises the Oasis of the Seas as one of the world's largest ships.

In 2017, about 220 passengers aboard a five-night Royal Caribbean cruise suffered from a gastro-intestinal illness.

All of the current Oasis of the Seas passengers will receive a full refund, Royal Caribbean Cruises said in the statement.

"Our guests sail with us to have great vacations, and we are sorry this cruise fell short," the statement reads.

The cruise company said the ship is scheduled to return to Florida on Saturday.

ABC News' Brendan Rand contributed to this report.

The suspect was identified by authorities Friday as Jake Thomas Patterson of Gordon, Wisconsin, the same town where Jayme was found alive the day before by a woman walking her dog.

Closs was reported missing on Oct. 15 after her parents were found shot to death in their home in rural Barron, Wisconsin, about an hour's drive south of where she was located.

The woman who found the teen -- who asked that her name not be used -- walked her to the nearby home in Gordon.

Authorities are still trying to find out what happened to Closs during the 88 days she was missing.

It is unclear if the suspect knew Jayme or her family before she was kidnapped.

Patterson does not have a criminal history. Authorities are not searching for any additional suspects, authorities said.

Florida man decapitated in freak helicopter accident identified authorities say

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A maintenance man working on a helicopter in south Florida was decapitated in a freak accident Thursday after the main rotor blades suddenly jerked up and down before fatally slicing the 62-year-old man, authorities said.

Salvator Disi died Thursday near the hangars at Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport, Hernando County Sheriff's Office confirmed.

Two men were using a power cart to jumpstart a helicopter when it began acting erratically - moving up and then down.

"This motion caused the main rotor blades to strike one of the men, who was working on the helicopter," the sheriff's office said in a written statement.

During a news conference, Hernando County Sheriff Al Nienhuis told reporters that, even though foul play is not expected, a full investigation will take place.

"Obviously a death that is a little unusual...and we want to make sure we have all the answers," Nienhuis said. "It's tragic that those individuals are not going to be able to give their loved one a hug again."

The helicopter Desi was working on belonged to Dr. Alfred Bonati, an orthopedic surgeon at the Bonati Spine Institute in Husdon, Florida. Bonati was at the scene when the accident occurred.

The aircraft is believed to be a 1993 Bell 230 twin-engine light helicopter, according to the Tampa Bay Times, which cited Federal Aviation Administration records.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A missing 8-month-old boy in Texas is dead, officials said Friday.

Christopher Davila told police last week that his child, King Jay Davila, was kidnapped from his car in San Antonio. But after sharing surveillance footage of the child's alleged kidnapping, police determined it was the baby's cousin in the video and the "staged" kidnapping was done "to cover up foul play," according to San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.

"We have statements from multiple witnesses that lead us to believe that King Jay is deceased," McManus said Thursday. "We charged [Davila and two other family members] with tampering with evidence because we believe that they participated in staging the kidnapping to hide King Jay's body so we couldn't find it to determine what happened to him."

Davila led investigators to an open field in San Antonio, where King Jay's body was believed to be hidden in a backpack, police said.

On Thursday, Davila, as well as King Jay's grandmother, Beatrice Sampayo, and another family member, Angie Torres, were charged with tampering with evidence in the case. The charge is a third-degree felony.

ABC San Antonio affiliate KSAT reported Friday that Davila was playing video games while caring for King Jay, citing details in a new arrest affidavit. King Jay was placed in a car seat on the edge of the bed Christopher was sitting on when the car seat fell over. King Jay, who was not strapped in, ended up with a large bump over his eye, according to KSAT.

Hours later, King Jay was dead, KSAT said.

Bexar County Sheriffs Office via AP

Torres, who police say was the one seen taking Davila's car from a convenience store in the surveillance footage, is also being held on an unrelated aggravated robbery charge, KSAT reported. She is being held on $50,000 bond, according to jail records.

San Antonio Police Department

Police said the child's mother, Jasmine Gonzales, continues to be under investigation in the case.

"Every parent out there, everyone understands, 'How can someone do that to a child?'" McManus told reporters Thursday. "This kidnapping was used as a ruse to cover up what we believe early on was foul play. What other purpose would you fake a kidnapping other than to hide something?"

Davila, 34, has a long criminal record, which includes convictions for arson and assault causing bodily injury, The Associated Press reported.

It was unclear if Davila, Sampayo and Torres had lawyers.

LAS VEGAS - Despite the robots, virtual reality video games and helicopter that looked like something straight of the movie "Avatar" at this year's Consumer Electronics Show - manufacturing firm Kohler still managed to capture the attention of convention-goers with none other than a toilet.

For the hefty tag of $7,000, the Amazon Alexa-enabled Numi 2.0 toilet plays music, automatically opens, closes and flushes and can "clean yourself in a way people aren't typically used to," said Kohler Marketing Manager Nicole Allis.

Kohler unveiled the upgraded version of their previous Numi model this week at CES, which also features a heated seat as well as ambient lighting to "set the mood."

"The bathroom is a hardworking space," Allis said. "People typically start and end their day there, and we know people want additional conveniences."

"So, having Alexa to be able to control the lighting, sound and music and create that spa-like experience they're looking for in the bathroom," she said, "is something we hear from our customers."

In addition to the toilet, Kohler also showcased a smart bathtub, which can automatically fill with water to the desired depth as well as temperature, along with a mirror that's equipped with Amazon and Google.

To turn your bathroom into a technological hub, the toilet, mirror and bathtub altogether will cost about $13,000.

Two of the three suspected MS-13 members arrested following a bat and knife attack outside a Burger King restaurant in New York this week were previously held by Homeland Security, but were ordered released by federal judges, officials said.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Two of the three suspected MS-13 members arrested following a bat and knife attack outside a Burger King restaurant in New York this week were previously held by Homeland Security - but were ordered released by federal judges, officials said.

Nobeli Montes Zuniga, 20, Ramon Arevalo Lopez, 19, and Oscar Canales Molina, 17, are facing second-degree assault charges related to the brawl outside the fast food restaurant in Huntington Station on Wednesday. All three entered the U.S. illegally as unaccompanied minors. Two 16-year-olds suffered injuries in the fight, one with a stab wound, according to authorities.

"While it's not clear what the groups were fighting about, one thing is clear - everyone arrested are confirmed members of MS-13," Suffolk Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said Thursday following the announcement of their arrests.

The incident started to unfold after the victims, who were eating inside Burger King, "noticed a group of Hispanic males who they recognized from [Huntington High] school, including the three defendants, staring at them in a menacing way," Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini said in a statement obtained by Fox News. "The teens felt uncomfortable and proceeded to leave the restaurant."

Sini says the three suspects then "allegedly charged after the teens, while wielding bats and knives, and an altercation broke out between the two groups."
MS-13 CRACKDOWN SEVERELY REDUCES GANG'S VIOLENT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN NEW YORK STRONGHOLD

Witnesses told investigators they saw Zuniga, Lopez and Molina fleeing the scene in a black car which was tracked down by police about an hour later. Officers who arrested the trio say they were found with blood on their clothing, hands and on the vehicle. Two knives also were recovered from Canales Molina, including a small one that "appeared to be covered in blood, which was found in his shoe," the District Attorney's Office said.

All three had their bail set at $35,000 cash or $75,000 bond during a court appearance Thursday. They face a maximum of seven years in prison if convicted.

But it is not the first time they have appeared on law enforcement's radar - on the state or federal levels.

"All three defendants were previously confirmed as MS-13 gang members by the Suffolk County Police Department," the District Attorney's Office said. "Thereafter, Arevalo Lopez was detained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Oct. 24, 2017, and was ordered released from custody by a federal District Court judge on June 12, 2018. Canales Molina was detained by ICE on July 24, 2017, and was released from custody by a federal judge on Nov. 28, 2017."

In Arevalo Lopez's case, Robert Sweet, the district judge who ordered his release, wrote in his ruling that the El Salvadorian entered the U.S. as a 17-year-old on Dec. 6, 2016, at a crossing along California's border with Mexico.

"Lopez told U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents that he wanted to travel to New York to live with his mother after fleeing gang threats in his home country," Sweet said, echoing a familiar plea from those who have come to the U.S. seeking asylum.

He eventually ended up in his desired destination and "for over ten months without incident, Arevalo Lopez lived with his mother, her partner, and his older brother....in Huntington Station, New York," the ruling said.

But in October 2017, ICE agents - suspicious of his possible gang affiliations - appeared at his front door and asked he stop by their offices for questioning. He obliged and then, following questioning, was arrested and detained at Bergen County Jail, where he was placed with the general prison population, according to the ruling.

Less than a year later, Sweet ordered Arevalo Lopez's release, saying federal investigators "failed to provide an explanation for why ICE detained Arevalo Lopez, other than to state that his arrest was pursuant to a Form I-200 warrant."

"The I-200 in this case, which zeroes in on [Arevalo Lopez's] clothing and social associations, noting in particular that his "clothing and accessories are indicative of gang membership," does not approach "probable cause," Sweet wrote in his ruling.

"Arevalo Lopez has no criminal history; he has never been charged with a crime in this country or any other," he added.

His attorney, Jason Bassett, is also pushing back against police labeling Arevalo Lopez as an MS-13 gang member.

"Ramon is not a member of MS-13 (or any other gang) - being 'confirmed' in some ill-conceived database isn't proof of anything," Bassett told Fox News in an e-mail Friday morning. "While so many of our civil liberties have come under attack, we still cling to the idea that one is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Ramon is innocent of the charges against him."

The region in which the attack happened this week - New York's Long Island - has long been a hotbed of MS-13 criminal activity.

Yet the ongoing state and Trump administration crackdown against MS-13 appears to be taking a toll on the group, as only four homicides recorded there in 2018 appeared to be linked to the gang, down from 14 the year before.

1,500 miles of snow: Weekend winter storm to roar from Denver to New York City

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A sprawling winter storm will spread snow along a 1,500-mile path from Denver to New York City. It will crank up on Friday and should last until at least late Sunday before it peters out.

Already, as of late Thursday, over 20 million people were in the path of the storm, the Weather Service said.

Other big cities in the path of the storm include Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Washington and Baltimore. St. Louis should see the most snow from the storm, with as much as 8 inches likely. Snow should start there on Friday morning, potentially leading to commuting issues.

For many areas, this will be a long-duration winter storm event that lasts more than 12 hours and perhaps as much as 48 hours in some cases, AccuWeather said.

Most of the snow should be over for the NFL playoff game Saturday in Kansas City between the Chiefs and Colts, though some light snow is possible during the late afternoon game.

While not a blockbuster blizzard, the snow should be heavy enough to cause some travel troubles on both roads and in the air. It's the first significant snowstorm of the winter so far in some areas, so "extra caution is advised when traveling as some motorists may be rusty with their winter driving skills," AccuWeather meteorologist Elliott Abrams said.

Along the southern edge of the storm, ice or a wintry mix is likely from southern Kansas to northern Arkansas, along with southern Kentucky and northern Tennessee.

By Saturday and into Sunday, the storm will slide toward the Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic areas.The weather service predicts lighter amounts, in the 2-4 inch range, for the Mid-Atlantic Saturday night into Sunday.

Snow isn't expected to fall on the NFL playoff game Sunday afternoon in Foxborough, Massachusetts, between the Chargers and the Patriots.

In the Deep South, all the precipitation from the storm will fall as a cold rain.

The Weather Channel has named the storm Winter Storm Gia. No other weather company, nor the National Weather Service, uses that name.
