News On 6 said a jury found Jaida McGrew guilty of murder in the first degree. The Tulsa World said second-degree murder.

The News On 6 update marked 11/6/2026 says jurors also found her guilty of assault and battery with a deadly weapon and recommended 15 years and five years, and that Judge Doug Drummond set sentencing for Tuesday, November 10th. The page’s own headline says a jury found a man guilty of first-degree murder. Curtis Killman’s Tulsa World story, published Nov. 6, 2026, at 12:45 p.m. and updated at 4:34 p.m. Central, says second-degree murder and a dangerous weapon.

Murder in the first degree, first-degree murder, and second-degree murder are not the same charge name. A deadly weapon, and a dangerous weapon, are not the same word. A jury recommendation, a 15-year term stated in one sentence, and a judge who has not yet sentenced, are not the same step. The News On 6 headline says a man. The update names Jaida McGrew. The Tulsa World says a woman. Those are not the same identification.

News On 6, by Drake Johnson and Hilton Price, in an update marked 11/6/2026 with no clock on that line, reported a jury found Jaida McGrew guilty of murder in the first degree, and recommended 15 years in prison, and that jurors also found her guilty of assault and battery with a deadly weapon and recommended five years. It reported Judge Doug Drummond scheduled sentencing for Tuesday, November 10th. The page title and the headline say a jury found a man guilty of first-degree murder and recommends a 15-year sentence. A man, in that headline, and Jaida McGrew, in the update, are not the same identification. First-degree murder, in the headline, and murder in the first degree, in the update, are not the same order of words. A 15-year sentence, in the headline, and 15 years plus five years, in the update, are not the same recommendation. The Tulsa World, by Curtis Killman, time-stamped Nov. 6, 2026, at 12:45 p.m. Central and updated at 4:34 p.m. Central, titles the page as a conviction of 2nd-degree murder. The headline says jurors convict a woman of second-degree murder in a 2025 fatal shooting. The lede says a Tulsa woman could face at least 15 years. The body says a Tulsa County District Court jury on Thursday found Jaida Alissia McGrew, 20, guilty of second-degree murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, according to online court records. 2nd-degree, and second-degree, are not the same typesetting, and both are on that page. Murder in the first degree, on News On 6, and second-degree murder, on the Tulsa World, are not the same degree. A deadly weapon, on News On 6, and a dangerous weapon, on the Tulsa World, are not the same word. A woman, and the middle name Alissia, and age 20, are on the Tulsa World. The Nov. 6 News On 6 update does not print a middle name, an age, or the word woman. The Tulsa World says that in addition to a 15-year prison term on the second-degree murder conviction, the jury recommended she serve a five-year prison term on the assault conviction, and that a judge will decide at a later date whether to follow the jury recommendation at her formal sentencing. A 15-year prison term, in that sentence, and a recommendation the judge has not yet followed, in the next sentence, are not the same step, and both are on that page. At least 15 years, in the lede, and a 15-year term, in the body, are not the same figure. A later date, on the Tulsa World, and Tuesday, November 10th, before Judge Doug Drummond, on News On 6, are not the same calendar line. November 10, 2026, is a Tuesday. The Tulsa World does not print the judge’s name, and it does not print November 10. News On 6 does not print online court records.

News On 6 reported Jeradiah Hernandez, who was arrested in August 2025 as an accessory, entered a guilty plea in October 2026 and will also be sentenced on November 10th. The Aug. 7, 2025, update on that page says 19-year-old Jeradiah Hernandez drove McGrew to and from the scene and may have taken or disposed of the gun, and that officers arrested him for accessory to murder. The Tulsa World says a second suspect, Jeradiah Ivory Hernandez, 21, is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty Oct. 30 to accessory to murder, according to court records. Ivory, and age 21, and Oct. 30, are on the Tulsa World. They are not on the News On 6 update. Age 19, on the August 2025 update, and age 21, on the Tulsa World, are not the same age. As an accessory, and accessory to murder, are not the same charge line, and News On 6 uses both. In October 2026, on News On 6, and Oct. 30, on the Tulsa World, are not the same date. Tuesday, with no date, for Hernandez on the Tulsa World, and November 10th, for Hernandez on News On 6, are not the same typesetting. November 10, 2026, is a Tuesday. May have taken or disposed of the gun is the August update’s account of what police said. It is not in the November update, and it is not in the Tulsa World paragraphs read here. A guilty plea those pages report, and a sentence they say is still on a future date, are not the same step. The Tulsa World says prosecutors initially charged McGrew with first-degree murder in the July 27, 2025, shooting death of Jashari Jackson, 23. News On 6’s original story says she was booked on allegations of first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon. First-degree murder, as the initial charge on both pages, and second-degree murder, as the Tulsa World’s account of the jury finding, are not the same degree. Assault with a deadly weapon, in the booking line, and assault and battery with a deadly weapon, in the News On 6 verdict line, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, on the Tulsa World, are not the same charge name.

The News On 6 original story says the Tulsa Police Department reported officers responded to an after-hours club at 2700 N. Yale around 2:30 a.m. on July 27, that a fight led to shots, and that Jashari Jackson, 23, was killed and another 26-year-old was injured and hospitalized. It then says an updated condition on the suspect is not yet known. The injured 26-year-old, and the suspect, are not the same word, and both are in that passage. The person who was injured is not named on either page used here. The Aug. 7 update says the shooting was near Apache and Yale on July 27, spells the name JaShari Jackson, and says 18-year-old Jaida McGrew got in a fight with Jackson and another person over a relationship, that someone pulled a gun and shot into the air, and that while they were walking away police say McGrew shot them. JaShari, in that update, and Jashari, in the original story and in the Tulsa World, are not the same spelling. Age 18, in the August 2025 update, and age 20, on the Tulsa World, are not the same age. Near Apache and Yale, and 2700 N. Yale, and the 2700 block of North Yale Avenue, on the Tulsa World, are not the same place line. Around 2:30 a.m., and early Sunday morning, are both on the News On 6 original story. July 27, 2025, was a Sunday. The Tulsa World says police responded on an early Sunday morning to an after-hours club where a fight involving multiple people had been reported. It says she claimed in court filings that she had just arrived when a man who was not Jackson began punching her in the face and forcing her to the ground, and that witnesses said she shot a pistol into a crowd after the assault stopped, according to court records. A man who was not Jackson, on the Tulsa World, and a fight with Jackson and another person, on the August update, are not the same account. Shot into the air, and then shot them while they were walking away, on News On 6, and shot a pistol into a crowd, on the Tulsa World, are not the same sequence. The Tulsa World says Jackson and another individual were shot, leaving Jackson dead and a 26-year-old hospitalized with gunshot wounds. Injured and hospitalized, and gunshot wounds, are not the same wound line. It says she was booked into the Tulsa County jail later the same day and has since been held with no bond. News On 6 does not print the jail name or a bond. The lines above are what the two outlets printed about the jury’s finding and about a plea that has not yet been sentenced. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The Middle District of Georgia release says Judge Self sentenced Josue Serda to life in prison. FOX 5 Atlanta and WSB-TV say life without parole.

Life in prison, and life without parole, and there is no parole in the federal system, are not the same sentence. More than 50 kilograms of methamphetamine, and 50 kilograms, are not the same quantity. Three investigations, and one ring that seized more than 200 kilograms, are not the same case. A charge against Raul Perez-Mondragon is an allegation.

Roland Chatmon and three others pleaded guilty in the kidnapping of his uncle, Curtis Dixon.

A guilty plea is the conviction on the counts a defendant admits. It is not the prison term. FOX 2 and the New York Post say the four kidnapping defendants face a mandatory minimum of seven years and a maximum of life, with hearings in 2027. WXYZ reported that all five, including Kenneth Anderson, face that range. FOX 2, CBS Detroit, and the Post say Anderson was already sentenced to probation.

Trials

An Ottawa jury found Fsha Tekhle guilty of first-degree murder in the stabbing of Brkti Berhe.

A first-degree murder verdict is the jury's finding on that count. CBC wrote that the conviction comes with automatic life sentences, plural, and no eligibility for parole for 25 years. The Ottawa Citizen described an automatic sentence of life without parole for 25 years. No eligibility for parole for 25 years, and life without parole for 25 years, are not the same words. Tekhle admitted causing the death and pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
