Ansariy was extradited and arraigned on ISIS material-support charges.
Davud Ansariy, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Uzbekistan, was extradited from Tbilisi, Georgia, on Sept. 23, 2026, and arraigned Sept. 24 in Brooklyn federal court on charges of conspiring to provide and providing material support to ISIS and the al-Nusrah Front.

A material-support charge is an accusation. It is not a conviction. Ansariy, a citizen of Uzbekistan and a naturalized U.S. citizen also known as Kozimjon Gafurov, was extradited to the Eastern District of New York from Tbilisi, Georgia, on Sept. 23, 2026, after an August 2026 arrest there, and was set for arraignment Sept. 24 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Lara K. Eshkenazi on one conspiracy count and one substantive count of providing material support to ISIS and Al-Nusrah Front. An indictment, an extradition, and an arraignment are process. They are not a verdict.
According to the Justice Department, Ansariy allegedly led a Brooklyn-based network known as the “Tea Party” or “chayxona” that raised money and arranged travel for people seeking to fight for foreign terrorist organizations in Syria. Court filings cited by DOJ say the group funded travel for at least three individuals in 2013 who are believed to have been killed in Syria, and that Ansariy left the United States for Turkey on a one-way ticket in May 2016, five days after a co-conspirator’s arrest. A federal grand jury in Brooklyn returned an indictment in November 2021.
If convicted, Ansariy faces a stated maximum of 35 years in prison. A statutory maximum is exposure, not a sentence. Until a jury or a court enters a finding, the charges stay accusations. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Tuscaloosa police charged Daronte Collins with felony murder after a Saturday apartment-complex shooting.
WBRC's jail photo is captioned Daronte Collins and puts both men at 22. The Tuscaloosa Thread, citing Violent Crimes Unit Lt. Michael Hall, spells the charged man Deronte and puts both at 20. Patch and the Calhoun Journal also use Daronte and 20. A felony-murder count, which the Thread and the Journal describe as Alabama's rule when someone dies during a robbery, is not a finding that Collins fired the shot that killed Tyson. The Thread says the 25-year-old has not been charged.

High Point police charged Kymberli Bowden with first-degree murder in her 13-year-old daughter's death.
The Oct. 8 release is a new murder count on a case the department charged in 2025 as felony child abuse and concealment of death. It is not a trial. The murder-charge release says she remains in jail with no bond. WXII reported a violent-offense hold and a $1 million bond on the older counts. The 2025 release listed her age as 44. The murder-charge release, WXII, and FOX 35 Orlando list 45.

Chicago police charged Chevazz Campbell in the stabbing death of CTA janitor Julian Mobley.
A detention hearing is the first court date. It is not a finding that Campbell stabbed anyone. The department's Sunday release says he robbed and fatally stabbed a 41-year-old man in the 2000 block of West Lake Street. ABC7 and CBS Chicago name that man as Julian Mobley and describe a fare dispute that turned into a stabbing. The department's charge list and CBS Chicago's shorter summary do not match count for count.
