2 additional men charged in connection to Capitol riot

Two men were charged in federal court Sunday for their alleged involvement in the violent mob that overran the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6.

The United States Attorney’s Office for D.C. announced it charged Larry Rendell Brock, of Texas, and Eric Gavalek Munchel, of Tennessee, with “knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority,” and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Both men were arrested Sunday in their home states.

Brock allegedly entered the Capitol wearing a green helmet, a green tactical vest with patches and was holding a white flex cuff, which is often used by law enforcement to restrain subjects.

Munchel is alleged to have also had restraints, along with a holstered item on his right hip and a cellphone mounted on his chest in a position where it could record the events of the day.

The cases are being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C. and the counterterrorism section of the Department of Justice’s National Security Division.

A dispute about fact vs. fiction at the trial over Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A prosecutor said Monday that while few have been willing to speak about the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, Duane “Keffe D” Davis is the “one person who has a hard time being silent.” “Let’s be clear, Duane Davis did not pull the trigger. But he did plan the shooting in retaliation of the beating of his nephew,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told jurors at the start of Davis' Las Vegas trial. “Remarkably, you will learn that from Duane Davis himself.” Davis, 63, could get life in prison if he's convicted of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang. He has pleaded not guilty. His lawyer in the defense opening called the prosecution's narrative “fiction.” Palal showed jurors video of Shakur’s entourage attacking Davis’ nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson outside the boxing match at the MGM Grand hours before the shooting on Sept. 7, 1996.
