It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we remember Charmeka Flowers, a beloved mother, daughter, and friend, who tragically lost her life on Tuesday in Racine, Wisconsin, at just 48 years old.

Charmeka was a woman of warmth, resilience, and love — someone whose presence could brighten even the darkest days. Her compassion, strength, and unwavering support for her family and friends were the cornerstones of her character. To know her was to feel cared for, heard, and deeply loved.

On the day of her passing, Charmeka was the victim of a senseless act of violence near Reschke and Prospect. Despite the heroic efforts of first responders and the long hours of a tense police standoff, her life was taken far too soon.

As we mourn her loss, we hold tight to the memories she gave us — the laughter, the guidance, the fierce love she showed to those close to her. Though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit lives on in every heart she touched.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Charmeka’s family, especially in this time of unimaginable grief. May you find peace in her memory and strength in the love she left behind.

Rest in peace, Charmeka. You will never be forgotten.

NEW HAVEN TOWNSHIP, Minn. — The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed the identity of the man found dead earlier this week in a tragic motorcycle crash in New Haven Township. The victim has been identified as 58-year-old Chadd Alfred Mayer, a resident of Kasson, Minnesota.

The crash came to light on the morning of Monday, July 21, when a utility worker operating in the area noticed a motorcycle and the body of a man lying in a ditch. Authorities were alerted at approximately 9:15 a.m., and first responders quickly arrived on scene.

While the exact time of the crash remains unknown, investigators believe it likely occurred sometime between 2 p.m. on Friday, July 19, and the morning the body was discovered. The incident remains under investigation, and officials have not yet determined the cause of the crash or whether any other vehicles were involved.

In a statement, Lieutenant Malinda Hanson of the Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office offered condolences:

“The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office extends our heartfelt sympathies to Mr. Mayer’s family and friends during this difficult time.”

BESSEMER, Ala. — A devastating incident has claimed the life of Delores M. Musgrove, a 50-year-old resident of Adger, Alabama, who was fatally attacked by a group of dogs in Bessemer. Authorities confirmed her death on Friday, July 25, 2025, following a harrowing scene that has left the community shaken and grieving.

The attack occurred early Thursday morning in the 100 block of Martin Street. At approximately 7 a.m., Bessemer police responded to a call reporting a person lying unresponsive in a grassy area. Upon arrival, officers discovered Musgrove’s body and pronounced her deceased at the scene by 7:28 a.m., according to Detective Justin Burmeister.

An autopsy later confirmed that Musgrove died as a result of a vicious dog attack involving multiple animals, said Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates. The specific breeds and ownership of the dogs involved have not yet been made public.

Delores’s death marks at least the fourth fatal dog mauling in Alabama in 2024, and the second such tragedy in the same week. Just days earlier, a 7-year-old boy was fatally mauled in Chilton County, leading to the euthanization of nine dogs surrendered to authorities. Earlier this year, Alabama also mourned the deaths of a six-month-old baby girl in Alabaster and a 46-year-old woman in Tuscaloosa County, both victims of brutal dog attacks under different circumstances.

Delores M. Musgrove is remembered as a woman taken far too soon by a senseless and tragic act. Her loss has reignited urgent conversations around public safety, animal control, and the responsibilities of pet ownership. Each of the recent dog attack victims were in places they should have felt safe — near their homes, helping others, or simply going about their daily routines.

Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Musgrove’s death, including whether any criminal negligence may have contributed. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Bessemer Police Department at 205-425-2411, the Tip Line at 205-428-3541, or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.

As her family mourns the heartbreaking loss of Delores, the community is left searching for answers and a renewed sense of urgency to prevent further tragedies.
