Man Reportedly Kills His Wife And Posts Photo Of Her Dead Body To Facebook

SOUTH MIAMI, FL - A South Florida man who authorities say fatally shot his wife -- and apparently then posted a photo of her body on Facebook -- was charged with first-degree murder Thursday night after turning himself in. Miami-Dade police said in an arrest affidavit that Derek Medina, 31, said he shot Jennifer Alfonso, 26, at their South Miami home after she said she was "leaving him." When officers responded to the home, they found Alfonso's body, as well as her 10-year-old daughter, who was unharmed. According to the affidavit, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound Medina said the couple became involved in a heated argument in an upstairs bedroom when he armed himself with a gun and pointed it at her. He said Alfonso left the bedroom, returning later to say she was leaving him. He says he went downstairs and confronted her in the kitchen, when she began punching him. He claims he went back upstairs to get his gun and confronted her again, at which time she grabbed a knife. Medina said he was able to disarm her and put the knife in a drawer, but that when she began punching him again, he shot her several times, the affidavit says.Police confirmed that Medina was in custody on Thursday on suspicion of homicide and that the 24-year-old Alonso was the victim. The news release sent to reporters does not address whether he posted a photo of Alfonso's body on Facebook, and reads as follows: "The Miami-Dade Police Department, Homicide Bureau, is investigating an incident that occurred in the City of South Miami.Medina appears to have uploaded a photograph of his dead wife to his Facebook account. At the time of writing it has been shared 173 times (the photograph is not included or linked to in this post). As NY Mag's Joe Coscarelli notes, friends don't seem to know how to react.His Facebook profile was removed about five hours after the shooting, according to ABC News' Miami affiliate WPLG-TV. Authorities have so far declined to discuss the Facebook postings or say whether Medina made them. Alfonso's 10-year-old daughter from a previous relationship was at the residence today with her mother's body and was unharmed, according to police.

David Ortiz Ejected Destroys Phone Case Video

BALTIMORE -- Red Sox slugger David Ortiz boiled over during Saturday night's 7-3 win over the Orioles, slamming his bat against a dugout phone after he felt home-plate umpire Tim Timmons missed some calls during his strikeout in the top of the seventh. Ortiz was then ejected, and came storming out of the dugout. He was restrained by manager John Farrell and bench coach Tory Luvullo, which could end up helping him avoid a suspension. "You're angry, you're going all over the place, your mind is processing some [stuff], it's not good," said Ortiz.Ortiz smashed his bat against the phone in the corner of the visitor's dugout. Teammate Dustin Pedroia was shown covering his head with a towel to protect himself as the bat shattered into pieces. Pedroia later got in Ortiz's face about what had just happened. Pedroia said after the game that his message to Ortiz was to calm down, telling reporters, "he's the biggest part of our lineup. We can't lose David for one game." The Red Sox second baseman also added, "I'm sure it looked pretty funny, the smallest guy out there going at it with the biggest guy."He was not shy about sharing his opinion. Angry about a pair of called strikes from earlier in the at-bat, Ortiz hollered at Timmons after waving at the sixth offering from Orioles pitcher Jairo Asencio. "I got 17 years in the league and I don't think I deserve to be disrespected like that," Ortiz said after the game, via The Associated Press. "You want to get respect from the players, you respect the players. That was horrible. Both of the pitches, not one.

Puig's Walk-off Homerun to Win it for Dodgers Video

LOS ANGELES — Yasiel Puig homered with two outs in the 11th inning to give the Los Angeles Dodgers a 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Cincinnati pitchers set a franchise record with 20 strikeouts. Puig, Adrian Gonzalez, Hanley Ramirez and Tim Federowicz each fanned three times as the Dodgers established their highest single-game total for strikeouts since the franchise moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles following the 1957 season. Puig drove an 0-1 pitch deep into the left-field pavilion against rookie Curtis Partch (0-1) for his 10th homer and 23rd RBI in 48 big league games. The excitable rookie circled the bases and slid into home plate, where teammates were waiting for him.This time, the theatrics were delivered by Yasiel Puig, the rookie lightning rod who has energized the team ever since being called up. In the bottom of the 11th inning in a scoreless game, Puig strode to the plate and delivered the coup de grace, in typical Yasiel Puig fashion.The 22-year-old player's home run was his 10th of the year to go with a .372 batting average. He has taken the league by storm and was close to being selected to the All-Star Game after only one month in the major leagues. While he lost out on the final vote to Freddie Freeman of the Atlanta Braves, you can expect many more chances in the future. The Cuban defector continues to dominate opposing pitching and showcase a great deal of ability in the field and on the bases. His latest performance against the Reds is just one more example of what makes him one of the bright young stars in the sport.
