MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — A heavy silence has fallen over the Manchester community as loved ones mourn the loss of Nickenley Turenne, 24, a young man whose life ended far too soon following a tragic police-involved incident in the early morning hours of December 6, 2025.

Nickenley was more than a headline or a statistic. To those who knew him, he was a son, a family member, and a friend whose presence brought energy, laughter, and warmth. At just 24 years old, he stood at the beginning of life’s journey, carrying dreams, hopes, and the potential for a future that will now never be fully realized. His passing has left an unfillable space in the hearts of those who loved him.

In the early hours of that morning, Manchester Police officers responded to a call involving a suspicious vehicle near South Mammoth Road and Green Acres Elementary School. What followed was a fast-moving and tragic series of events that ended near 293 South Mammoth Road, where gunfire was exchanged and Nickenley was struck. Despite immediate life-saving efforts by responding officers and emergency medical personnel, he was later pronounced deceased at the hospital.

An autopsy later confirmed that the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds, and the manner of death was ruled a homicide, a medical classification indicating death at the hands of another person. The investigation remains active, and authorities continue to examine the circumstances surrounding this devastating incident.

For his family, friends, and community, this moment is not about legal processes or technical definitions — it is about the life that was lost. Nickenley will be remembered for his smile, his personality, and the way he touched the lives of those around him. His story is one of a life interrupted, a future stolen, and a loved one gone too soon.

As the investigation continues, many in the community are holding space for grief, reflection, and remembrance.

Rest in peace, Nickenley Turenne.

Your life mattered. Your memory will live on.

TUCSON, Arizona — With heavy hearts, family, friends, and the Tucson community mourn the tragic loss of Oscar Pedro Salazar, just 33 years old, whose life was taken in a devastating traffic collision on Sunday afternoon.

Oscar was more than a name in an accident report — he was a beloved son, family member, friend, and a bright presence in the lives of those who knew him. Remembered for his warm spirit, kind heart, and the light he brought into any room, Oscar lived with quiet strength and compassion. His smile, laughter, and generosity left lasting impressions that will be carried forever by those who loved him.

The tragedy occurred around 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 7, near the intersection of South Sixth Avenue and East Michigan Drive in Tucson. According to the Tucson Police Department, Oscar was driving a Hyundai Elantra eastbound on Michigan Drive and proceeded from a stop sign when his vehicle was fatally struck by a Ford Mustang traveling northbound on Sixth Avenue.

Emergency responders arrived quickly, but despite all efforts, Oscar was pronounced deceased at the scene. Investigators reported that the Mustang was traveling above the posted speed limit, and while the other driver was not impaired and remained at the scene, detectives determined excessive speed to be the primary factor in the crash. The investigation remains ongoing.

For those who knew Oscar, he was a man full of life and promise — someone who showed kindness without hesitation and cared deeply for those around him. His passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of his family and friends.

As the community grieves, loved ones remember Oscar not for how he died, but for how he lived: with heart, humility, and hope.

Rest in eternal peace, Oscar Pedro Salazar.

You will be remembered, you will be missed, and you will never be forgotten.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the community it serves are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Detective Amber Leist, a dedicated public servant, loving mother, and selfless hero whose life was tragically taken while performing an act of kindness.

A 12-year veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Detective Leist built a career rooted in courage, compassion, and unwavering integrity.

Even in her final moments, her actions reflected the heart of a true servant — placing the safety and well-being of others above her own.

Sheriff Alex Villanueva remembered her as “an outstanding detective who led by example,” a sentiment echoed by those who had the honor of working alongside her. She was respected not only for her professionalism and dedication but for the kindness and quiet strength she showed every day.

Above all, Amber was a devoted mother. She leaves behind two sons — a 17-year-old at home and a 20-year-old proudly serving in the United States Navy — who were the greatest loves of her life. Her friends and family describe her as a woman whose heart was as big as her courage, and whose love for her children was the guiding force behind everything she did.

Detective Amber Leist’s legacy will live on through the lives she touched, the lives she protected, and the example she set for acts of compassion and bravery. Her story is one of sacrifice, love, and unwavering humanity.
