- The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said Monday it recommended charges against Paige Marie Ostroushko, Lorenzo Amadeo Garcia and Christopher Ostroushko, and the County Attorney’s Office confirmed it is reviewing three case submissions.
- Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon confirmed that the Justice Department and the FBI have opened federal investigations into the incident.
- New footage released Monday appears to show Christopher Ostroushko instructing his daughter to blow a whistle in Hernandez’s ear, a tactic that ear specialists warn can damage hearing at close range.
