Shootings (down 17%), deaths (down 3%) & injuries (down 20%) so far from 2023

The D&D Daily's Big City Weekend Violence Study - Memorial Day to Labor Day

The Daily's annual study analyzes weekend shooting data in 15 major U.S. cities from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend 2024

Starting this past Memorial Day Weekend, the D&D Daily compiled and analyzed data from 15 major U.S. cities to get a snapshot of summer gun violence.

Over this past weekend, from June 21st through June 23rd, there were 71 shootings recorded in these 15 big cities, resulting in 30 deaths and 63 injuries.

In total, over the past five weekends combined, these cities have recorded 478 shootings, resulting in 145 deaths and 475 injuries.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


'State of Emergency' for NYC Stores?
Man fatally stabbed after running into NYC bodega for help as violence plagues Big Apple stores
A man was viciously stabbed to death late Saturday after running into a Queens bodega for help - the latest burst of violence that has neighborhood stores in the Big Apple in "a state of emergency."

"The [workers] who were here last night, they quit," said Ali Alzokeri, a cashier at Sammy's Gourmet Deli in Jamaica, to The Post on Sunday. "They don't want to work here no more. It was bad."

The fatal assault occurred around 9:40 p.m. when the unidentified 40-year-old victim ran into the small deli on Jamaica Avenue in Jamaica looking for help and was stabbed multiple times in front of horrified store clerks, according to police and a rep for small-shop merchants. Police sources said the slaying stemmed from a dispute that spilled into the store.

For bodega owners, the bloody brawl was just the latest chapter in an ongoing onslaught plaguing their stores. "Bodegas are not equipped to save lives, and that must change," Fernando Mateo, head of the United Bodegas of America, said in a statement Sunday. "UBA has declared a state of emergency.

"We must remember bodegas are community centers to many of these communities," Mateo said. "Selling eggs, milk and beer is 65% of what we do. The other 35% is helping our community and helping the NYPD solve crimes."

The safety of bodega workers has been a constant concern in the Big Apple.

In January, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a $40 million plan to help bodega and small-business owners, including about $5 million to beef up security and police presence to combat shoplifting and violence at the neighborhood stores. But Mateo said he's yet to see the investment.

According to NYPD stats, robberies at bodegas and small stores in the city had already more than doubled midway through 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, with the small-time merchants repeatedly calling for help from City Hall. nypost.com
 

Philadelphia's ORC Explosion
ORC operations can take in more money than big box stores

Organized retail crime explosion prompts city, suburbs to coordinate responses in crack down of thefts
Organized retail theft, smash and grab, takeovers - this type of crime has been around for years, but it's reached unprecedented levels. According to data publicly available on the Philadelphia District Attorney's website, there were 13,595 reported thefts in 2022, 16,362 in 2023 and, so far in 2024, more than 18,000.

Law enforcement doesn't call this type of theft shoplifting. It's "organized retail crime."

"This is not randomly going into a store and stealing something, say, because you're hungry or you're trying to bring something home to your family to feed them that day. This is targeted," says Kimberly Esack, Assistant DA and Supervisor of the Organized Retail and House Theft Task Force with the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office.

Esack says those responsible for fencing the stolen goods create LLC names and pop up online quickly to start selling online merchandise and can make millions of dollars.

"They can take in more money than one of your big box stores like Target or Walmart in a three-month period. They outpace them in the amount of revenue that they're taking" says Esack. "In three months, they are outpacing stores that have been around for years, so that tells you, this is something different than we've ever seen before."

The crimes are hitting big box stores hard, like Home Depot. "The last four to five years, the increase that we've seen is unprecedented," says Sean Browne, Senior Manager of Asset Protection. However, small businesses are not exempt from the issue.

According to the Department of Homeland Security's website, it is estimated that the average American family will pay more than $500 annually in additional costs due to the impact of organized retail crime.

In 2021 alone, Pennsylvania suffered $5.5 billion worth of retail loss due to ORC. About 10 percent of offenders caused 60 percent of the retail loss, according to the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office. They say eight in 10 retail crimes have violence associated with them. fox29.com


Will California Add A Second Crime Initiative on November Ballot?
Lawmakers in the state continue to battle over Prop 47

Gov. Newsom, Legislative leaders consider putting new crime initiative on November ballot
Gov. Gavin Newsom and some Democratic lawmakers are now considering placing a crime-related measure on the November ballot to compete with an initiative that has already qualified meant to enhance penalties for drug traffickers and repeat thieves.

Five sources close to the situation but who are unauthorized to speak publicly about it confirmed to KCRA 3 that it is an effort to continue negotiating the measure that would reform parts of Proposition 47 off of the November ballot.

A decade ago, Proposition 47 loosened penalties for drug and theft crimes. Law enforcement, business groups and elected leaders on both sides of the aisle have blamed it for the state's rise in crime and homelessness.

Democratic lawmakers in the Assembly were briefed about the plan to place a separate, legislative crime initiative on the ballot in a closed-door meeting Saturday morning, three sources inside told KCRA 3.

It's unclear what exactly the legislative crime initiative would do. Lawmakers were provided few details other than that the Governor's office and Democratic legislative leaders intend to move quickly.

The Secretary of State has until June 27 to finalize which citizen initiatives land on the ballot. kcra.com


Bloody Weekend of Mass Shootings Across the U.S.
240+ Mass Shootings So Far in 2024

Series of US mass shootings brings weekend of death and mayhem

One dead and 34 wounded as incidents in New York, Alabama, Missouri and Ohio swell 2024 mass shooting tally

A series of mass shootings rocked the US early on Sunday, leaving at least one dead and 34 others wounded in just four cases reported in New York, Alabama, Missouri and Ohio.

The shootings came amid a broader spate of recent mass shootings, including the one at an Arkansas grocery store on Friday that left four dead and nine wounded - as well as another at a nightclub in Kentucky on Saturday that killed one and injured seven.

The violence brought the number of mass shootings in the US so far this year, as of Sunday, to more than 240 - an average of more than one daily, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

The non-partisan archive defines a mass shooting as one in which four or more victims are wounded or killed. theguardian.com


Video: Retails stores are dealing with increasing theft issues

Thornton, CO: City leaders work to combat retail theft
 



Not Just Theft: Inflation Pushing Stores Out of Business
Major retailers closing doors amid inflation, lower consumer demand
Major U.S. retail chains like CVS and Macy's are being forced to close thousands of brick-and-mortar stores across the country. Researchers say well over 3,400 retail stores are closing this year, which is about a 22% increase compared to last year at this time.

One of the main causing factors cited is inflation. According to the owners of Hollywood's iconic Arby's, California's $20 minimum wage law led them to shutter their business after 55 years.

The top closures include Family Dollar at over 600 stores, followed by rue21, 99 Cents Only Stores, 7-11 and more.

"Drugstores are not going to be there anymore. Restaurants are not going to be there anymore. So this is consequential not only financially from a real estate standpoint, but it's consequential in quality of life, availability of services," Taffer said.

Another reason driving these shutdowns is poor strategy, as several companies are carrying a lot of debt.

Retailers say they're also dealing with theft, and when coupled with the rise of online shopping, it's preventing customers from even entering stores in the first place. fox29.com


Will AI Replace Retail Workers?
CVS may soon show whether AI can start to replace call centers

CVS plans to use AI so that pharmacy customers don't have to go through a menu option

CVS plans to use artificial intelligence in an effort to improve the customer-service experience, CVS Health Chief Technology Officer Tilak Mandadi told The Wall Street Journal.

Mandadi told the publication that the retail giant's health division plans to roll out an app so that customers don't have to get on the phone to reach a pharmacist or a live agent at a call center - a practice that's less favored by Gen Z.

The app will rely on AI so that customers can get text-based answers in a "natural language," Mandadi said.

But for those who still want to call, Mandadi said that CVS will also use AI so that customers don't have to go through a tedious menu option on the phone and can immediately ask their questions.

The CTO added that customers will be directed to a live customer representative if the AI cannot answer their questions. CVS is the latest retail giant to rely on AI to assist customers. For a few years, McDonald's was testing an AI-powered drive-through service at 100 locations. businessinsider.com


JCPenney's $40M Supply Chain Upgrade
Will JCPenney's $40 Million Investment in Supply Chain Upgrades Pay Off?
JCPenney has announced a major enhancement to its distribution operations, unveiling a $40 million upgrade to its 1.67-million-square-foot Reno, Nevada, distribution center. This initiative is a crucial component of the retailer's broader $1 billion self-funded reinvestment strategy, which was revealed last year. The substantial investment is aimed at improving order efficiency and speed for online shoppers, ensuring a superior customer experience.

JCPenney's CEO, Marc Rosen, expressed enthusiasm about the new system, highlighting its role in modernizing the company's logistics and enhancing service delivery. "We look forward to experiencing its impact for our customers, associates and company as we honor our commitment to making every day count for our customers," he stated in the announcement.

At the heart of this upgrade is the introduction of the Joey Pouch sorting system, a state-of-the-art technology designed to streamline and enhance the supply chain process. This sophisticated system features advanced induction process technologies, an automated sorter for order assembly, and a new packing system equipped with invoice and shipping label printing capabilities for each order. By incorporating these technologies, JCPenney aims to significantly boost order accuracy and reduce shipping times, thereby elevating the overall customer experience. retailwire.com

Shoplifting is now considered the number one major property crime in the United States. It has profound effects as well: the higher retail prices of commodities to make up for the losses, significant loss of local and state tax revenues and legal costs, reduced hours and loss of community jobs in the event of store closures, and with more brazen shoplifters - possible loss of life to guards and loss prevention professionals.

CIS Security Solutions is pleased to introduce you to one of the sponsors of the new Florida House Bill 0549, Florida House Representative John Snyder (R). He will enlighten us on the details of HB-0549 and how it can impact shoplifting and our communities going forward.

This bill mentions the word "Theft" 22 times. It was signed into law by Governor DeSantis on 4/9/2024 in Stuart FL, at our local Walgreens, 1.5 miles down the road from the CIS Security Solutions offices.

Just 23% of Companies Paid Ransomware Demands
Ransomware victims are becoming less likely to pay up

Despite a jump in ransom demands last year, companies are plotting better defenses against attacks that can incur deep business interruption costs, Marsh said.

Crime is paying less often for threat actors as improved corporate security measures - and dramatically higher ransom demands - sway more companies to reject extortion payments for seized data.

Less than a quarter of 1,800 companies that submitted cyber claims to Marsh, or 23%, paid ransom demands last year, despite a 64% jump in extortion events from 2022 to a record 282, the insurance broker and risk advisor said in a June 11 report.

In 2021, Marsh noted, 63% of its clients paid an extortion demand to protect data.

Companies, especially larger ones, are "just more resilient than they were three, four, five years ago," Meredith Schnur, managing director of Marsh's U.S. and Canada cyber practice, told Legal Dive.

Executives overseeing legal, risk, technology and privacy areas have also grown more sophisticated in their approach to mitigating the effects of hacks relative to just five years ago, she said.

When ransomware "initially reared its ugly head," attacks were "very fast and furious," Schnur said. "Companies weren't ready."

Threat actors locked down and threatened to release stolen data. "And it was very scary," she said.

Today, a company struck by a ransomware may find that the resiliency measures engineered by its legal, risk, information security and technology departments are suitable to a point that the business isn't fully impaired. And that can directly affect a company's decision to pay ransom. cybersecuritydive.com


Businesses Struggle to Fill Cyber, AI & Data Roles
Cyber, AI and data dominate upskilling priorities, Skillsoft finds

The three categories align with the positions businesses are having the greatest difficulty filling, according to the report.

Executives are investing in cyber, AI and data training opportunities as hiring for these skills remains a persistent pain point, according to a Skillsoft report published Tuesday. The corporate training company surveyed 5,711 IT decision-makers and staff, including 219 C-level executives.

More than one-third of C-suite leaders identified cybersecurity and AI as top investment areas for upskilling, and 3 in 10 said data. A year ago, only 13% of executives said hiring for AI skills was difficult - 32% said finding AI talent was challenging this year.

"The reality is you can't have a department operating at 100% efficiency when you don't have a workforce qualified to meet those expectations," Skillsoft said in the report. "And, you can't take full advantage of emerging technologies without skilled staff."  cybersecuritydive.com


Cybersecurity & Antivirus Software Banned in the U.S.
US bans Kaspersky antivirus software due to national security risks
The US Department of Commerce has announced an upcoming US-wide ban of cybersecurity and antivirus software by Kaspersky, as its "ability to gather valuable US business information, including intellectual property, and to gather US persons' sensitive data for malicious use by the Russian Government pose an undue or unacceptable national security risk."

Starting on July 20, 2024, Kaspersky is prohibited from entering into any new agreement with US persons involving its cybersecurity and antivirus products and services.

Starting on September 29, 2024, Kaspersky and/or entities appointed by it must stop providing antivirus signatures and codebase updates, and must stop operating the Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) in the US or on US persons' IT systems. They are also prohibited from reselling, licensing and integrating software designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by Kaspersky into third-party products or services. helpnetsecurity.com


150K Routers at Risk
Nearly 150,000 ASUS routers potentially exposed to critical vulnerability

Researchers said the CVE, which has a CVSS score of 9.8, raises additional concerns about the security of edge, small office and home office devices.

At least 147,000 ASUS routers are potentially exposed to a critical vulnerability, which can allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication and gain login access, researchers at Censys said Thursday.

ASUS issued a security advisory on June 14 recommending customers upgrade their firmware or apply mitigation steps if the upgrade was not possible.

The ASUS vulnerability raises more questions about the overall security of edge devices, which have become frequent targets of malicious attacks in recent years. cybersecuritydive.com

'Jetflicks' Generated Millions in Revenue of Stolen TV Episodes
DOJ: Five Men Convicted For Operating Major Illegal Streaming Service

Jetflicks Generated Millions in Revenue at Expense of Television Program Copyright Owners

A federal jury in Las Vegas convicted five men this week for their roles in running one of the largest unauthorized streaming services in the United States, which generated millions of dollars in subscription revenue while causing substantial harm to television program copyright owners.

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, beginning as early as 2007, Kristopher Dallmann, Douglas Courson, Felipe Garcia, Jared Jaurequi, and Peter Huber operated an online, subscription-based streaming service known as Jetflicks. The Jetflicks group used sophisticated computer scripts and software to scour pirate websites for illegal copies of television episodes, which they then downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks servers. The group reproduced hundreds of thousands of copyrighted television episodes without authorization, amassing a catalog larger than the combined catalogues of Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, and Amazon Prime. Dallmann and his co-conspirators made millions of dollars streaming and distributing this catalogue of stolen content to tens of thousands of paid subscribers.

"The defendants ran a platform that automated the theft of TV shows and distributed the stolen content to subscribers," Courson, Garcia, Jaurequi, and Huber each face a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and Dallmann faces a maximum penalty of 48 years in prison. A sentencing date has not yet been set. justice.gov

Peruvian Robbery Crew Hitting Consumers & Retailers Nationwide
DOJ: Peruvian National Pleads Guilty to Identity Theft Charge Stemming from Distraction Theft Scheme
United States Attorney for the District of Conn. announced ANGEL EUGENIO BANCES CHAPONAN, 60, a citizen of Peru last residing in Queens, New York, pleaded guilty before in Bridgeport to aggravated identity theft.

According to court documents and statements made in court, the FBI and local law enforcement agencies in Connecticut and elsewhere have been investigating a series of distraction thefts of wallets from victims at Trader Joe's grocery stores, TJ Maxx stores, and other retail stores in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Virginia, and elsewhere. The investigation revealed that Bances Chaponan and others rented vehicles to travel throughout the U.S. in order to steal wallets from unwary victims and then use the victims' credit and debit cards to purchase electronic devices and other items.

Bances Chaponan was arrested on March 13, 2024, shortly after he used a stolen credit card to purchase a MacBook for approximately $2,850 and an iPad Pro for approximately $1,050. He has been detained since his arrest.

Judge Underhill scheduled sentencing for September 12, at which time Bances Chaponan faces a mandatory term of imprisonment of two years. justice.gov

Shootings & Deaths


Fordyce, AR: 4th Arkansas grocery store shooting victim dies; charges pending against suspected gunman
A fourth victim died Saturday evening following a shooting at a grocery store in Fordyce, Arkansas, authorities said, as police continued to investigate the attack. A man opened fire at the Mad Butcher in Fordyce on Friday, killing four people ranging in age from 23 to 81 years old and wounding nine others. The suspected shooter, identified by authorities as 44-year-old Travis Eugene Posey, is expected to be charged with four counts of capital murder, with additional charges pending, according to an Arkansas State Police news release. He is set to appear in court on Monday, Dallas County prosecutor Eric Marks said. Law enforcement responded to the shooting around 11:30 a.m. and exchanged gunfire with the suspect, according to Arkansas State Police. Cellphone video captured a man in the parking lot aiming a long gun and firing in multiple directions. Matthew Gill, the meat manager at the Mad Butcher, told CNN a man came into the store with a shotgun and ended up in a shootout with police. Posey was "treated for non-life-threatening injuries after exchanging gunfire with law enforcement" and taken to the Ouachita County Detention Center, state police said in the release. It is unclear if Posey has retained legal counsel at this point. The four people killed in the shooting were identified by police as: 23-year-old Callie Weems, 50-year-old Roy Sturgis, 62-year-old Shirley Taylor, and 81-year-old Ellen Shrum.  abc7.com

Energy is the primary force behind success and without it mediocrity or failure is almost guaranteed. The ability to move things forward and influence change requires energy and there's a direct correlation to the amount of it and to the degree of success. It's great to start off energized and gung ho about a project or initiative, but it's critical to maintain the energy thru to completion. As one senior executive has said, "there's no bad plan -- it's always a matter of execution" and execution is all about energy. So when you think you've lost your energy, take a break, do something different, and give your mind a chance to re-energize. Because the worst thing you can do is to try to execute without it.
