Prosecutors say an Indianapolis man who pleaded guilty to fatally shooting a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 24-year-old Tony Cushingberry was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty last year to second-degree murder and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. Prosecutors say Cushingberry watched 45-year-old postal carrier Angela Summers walk past his Indianapolis home and proceed to the next residence in April 2020. They say he “aggressively approached” Summers and demanded his mail several times before fatally shooting her. Court records indicate Cushingberry was upset because his postal deliveries had been suspended due to an aggressive dog at his home.

Three Filipino restaurants in three different parts of the U.S. are among the nominees at this year's James Beard Awards, the culinary world's equivalent of the Oscars.

The restaurants Archipelago in Seattle, Abacá in San Francisco and Kasama in Chicago all scored nods in the restaurant and chef categories. Kasama last year became the first Michelin-starred Filipino restaurant. These chefs are part of a younger generation giving voice to the Filipino American experience through the language of food. The awards ceremony is next week in Chicago.
