NYPD crime scene unit investigators conduct a daylight search for evidence, utilize evidence markers, and collect evidence at the scene where an off-duty police officer fatally shoots a 30-year-old man wielding a gun in Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York, on August 18, 2025. Officials say two men on mopeds approach an off-duty officer just before 9:45 p.m. Sunday and ask if they know a certain person's name. One of the men pulls a gun, and the off-duty officer draws his firearm and discharges multiple rounds. The 30-year-old man is pronounced dead at Harlem Hospital. Police believe the man fatally shot is an undocumented migrant from the Dominican Republic who crosses the border in El Paso, Texas, in June 2024. The second suspect flees on a moped and is being sought.

Former Nepali Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal gestures during a unification announcement event in Kathmandu, Nepal, on July 18, 2025. The CPN-Unified Socialist, led by Madhav Kumar Nepal, and the CPN Unity National Campaign, led by Bamdev Gautam, announce their merger during a ceremony at City Hall in the capital, Kathmandu. With the merger, Bamdev Gautam, the campaign coordinator, formally joins the CPN-Unified Socialist, which was formed after a split with the CPN-Unified Marxist Leninist led by KP Sharma Oli following an intra-party rift. As per the merger agreement, Gautam, also a former Home Minister, is given the third most senior position in the Unified Socialist after party chair Madhav Kumar Nepal and senior leader Jhalanath Khanal. The Unified Socialist and the group led by Gautam split from the CPN-UML in 2021 and have been operating separately since. Over the past four years, both sides engage in formal and informal negotiations towards party reunification. In 2021, after breaking off from CPN-UML, both former Prime Ministers Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhalanath Khanal form the CPN (Unified Socialist), while Gautam chooses not to join the new party. Gautam launches his own CPN Unity National Campaign, announcing he will work to bring all the communist forces under a single umbrella by not joining any side, the CPN-UML, US, or the Maoist Center. Though multiple rounds of talks are initiated, the agreement does not work out.
