Police arrested two more men - a father and son - in the shooting death of Olympic track star Tyson Gay's daughter, Trinity, who authorities say was hit by a stray bullet during a shootout in Lexington, Kentucky. Chazerae Taylor, 38, and D'markeo Taylor, 19, are each charged with wanton endangerment in the 15-year-old's Sunday killing, police said late Sunday night. Police also have recovered a blue Ford that matches witness descriptions of one of the cars that fled the scene following the shootout, according to a Lexington Police Department news release. Earlier Sunday, Lexington police located a gray Dodge Charger used in the shootout and detained two men for questioning. Authorities later charged 21-year-old Dvonta Middlebrooks with wanton endangerment and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, police said. The other man was not charged. Investigators believe Middlebrooks fired multiple shots in the parking lot of the Cook Out restaurant where Trinity was hit in the neck, according to the news release.

Police in New Jersey have received reports of a possible large cat sighting that some witnesses believe may be a mountain lion. Winslow Township police say the animal or animals have been spotted near the Hammonton border. Authorities have reviewed video from a hunterâ€™s game camera that shows what appears to be a large cat but they have not been able to confirm exactly what kind of animal was shown. According to officials, mountain lions were indigenous to the area at one point but have not existed naturally for years.

UPDATE: Officials from New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection division of fish and wildlife reviewed the tapes and determined that it was an ordinary house cat and not a mountain lion.

Authorities arrested a man for being in possession of heroin after he was reportedly moonwalking his way through the aisles of a gas station. Around 11:30 p.m. on October 12, police responded to the Speedway gas station on the 1800 block of Hooper Avenue in Toms River. An employee called police to report a man lingering and acting erratically inside of the store. Police say Mark Wixler, 39, was moonwalking his way through the aisles while choosing his merchandise. While speaking to Wixler, police say an active warrant out of Neptune Township for $2,000 was discovered. Authorities say he was also found to be in possession of six hypodermic needles and a small amount of heroin. Police say he was placed under arrest and housed in the Ocean County Jail pending a court date.
