The rush is on across Venezuela’s north coast to identify loved ones before it’s too late. With at least 2,295 people killed in the deadly earthquakes last week, the country is overwhelmed with bodies that officials are struggling to collect, identify and preserve. Many fear mass graves are coming as they search for the bodies of loved ones who died in the earthquakes that struck the South American country on June 24. Thousands are still missing.

A federal judge has ruled that the man charged in the fatal stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee on a North Carolina train cannot currently stand trial due to mental illness. Decarlos Brown Jr.faces a federal charge related to the killing of Iryna Zarutska, which is punishable by death. On Tuesday, the judge ordered Brown to undergo up to four months of medical treatment to try to restore his competency. A forensic evaluation found Brown unable to understand the proceedings or assist in his defense. The judge will reassess Brown's competency after the treatment period.
