Kansas City man killed in roof collapse at Family Dollar store

A Kansas City man was killed and three others were injured Sunday when the roof of a Family Dollar store partially collapsed.

The incident occurred about 2:45 p.m. when the 68-year-old man was walking by the building and the front facade of the building came down, the Kansas City Fire Department said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 50-year-old woman also remains hospitalized after suffering serious injuries. Two people were injured outside the building but were treated at the scene.

According to reports, the building was recently reported as “slowly tilting” last week.

Ron Dixon took photos of the building’s facade last week and Sunday morning.

“I said to myself, yeah, that’s going to fall today or tomorrow,” he told KMBC. “And the next thing I know, I hear it fall.”

The Kansas City Police Department is investigating the collapse.

Now-fired Nassau County Police Department Detective Hector Rosario allegedly had a side gig working for the Bonanno crime family — and the Bonannos considered Rubino’s gambling den in his Merrick, L.I. shop, Sal’s Shoe Repair, the competition, the feds say. So in 2013 or 2014, two Bonanno members paid Rosario to shut the place down and Rosario got to work, according to a January filing by federal prosecutors. The two Bonannos who gave the order are expected to sing at Rosario’s trial in Brooklyn Federal Court next month. Neither are named in the court filings. One of the informants, a Bonanno associate, is expected to testify he was in the room when Rosario and his “associates” barged into Rubino’s shoe repair shop, broke one of the gamb...

Unclaimed Funds Archive

What are unclaimed property and unclaimed funds? Perhaps you forgot to cash a check, overpaid a bill, or didn’t know you were the beneficiary of a long-lost relative’s life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may be owed money and not be aware of it. That is why banks, insurance companies, courts, corporations, and other organizations are required by law to attempt to notify you by mail and publish information regarding unclaimed property in the newspaper. What happens to unclaimed property? Organizations have between one and five years to try to reunite account holders with their property, depending on the state and industry. After that “dormancy period,” the funds are turned over to the state. The NY State Comptroller will hold on to unclaimed funds indefinitely, just waiting for you to file a claim.
