William Kistler, the mysterious 26-year-old companion of the Texas real estate agent who was fatally shot after the pair allegedly brushed against a parked Mercedes, has a lengthy criminal record.According to FOX 4 Dallas, 28-year-old Ashlee Long was leaving a bar in downtown Dallas on April 5 with a group of friends, including Kistler.Dallas police said that Kistler "reached out and brushed his hand along the passenger side of a passing Mercedes as they were walking across the street." Investigators said that 34-year-old Kendrick Finch then exited the passenger side of the vehicle with a gun and opened fire.The affidavit states, according to FOX 4, that Kistler reached into Long's purse and pulled out his gun, and that's when police say Finch opened fire, striking both Long and Kistler. Kistler was able to fire back, but Finch then took off.REALTOR SHOT DEAD BY MERCEDES SUSPECT WITH CRIMINAL HISTORY: POLICEFinch shot both Long and Kistler, according to police. Long later died from her injuries at the hospital, while Kistler survived.Finch, who has a prior criminal history that includes drug charges and burglary, later turned himself in to authorities. He is currently charged with murder.Kistler was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, a felony. He is being held in the Collin County Jail.On March 7, prosecutors said that Finch fired "at least 8 times.""From the evidence that I see, it is our firm belief that Mr. Finch was the first one to shoot. That he has to own. He fired that gun at least eight times. In a crowded residential-commercial street with cars and people walking all around."Finch's attorney, Dallas County defense lawyer Josh Healy, said in court that the shooting was an act of self-defense and that Kistler "started everything that night.""We know for sure Ashlee Long would be alive today except for William Kistler. William Kistler is the one who started everything that night. It showed in the video. It shows his actions, how he was acting. We don't have the toxicology report yet of these two individuals, but I can bet where that's going to end up. He's trying to fight random people on the street, and then my client's car, driving by at a normal rate of speed, gets hit," Healy said.SUSPECTED FSU CAMPUS SHOOTER INDICTED ON MURDER CHARGES FOR ALLEGEDLY KILLING 2, INJURING 6Healy also emphasized the seven seconds it took his client to exit the vehicle."He goes over how, during those seven seconds, he says Kistler is trying to get a gun out of Long's purse.""What I do know is my client never gets out of that car except [that] Mr. Kistler is reaching for that gun immediately . . . but if you watch that video, Mr. Kistler, when he's fighting around trying to get that gun and gets it, goes like this towards my client."At that moment, Healy lunged forward in court, acting out what he claimed was visible in the video."And when he takes those steps towards my client, my client has every right under the law to defend himself," he said.Finch was released on May 13 after posting a $500,000 bond. His release came after a judge denied a motion from his defense team to reduce the bond amount.NC COLLEGE STUDENT SHOT DEAD BY 'CAREER CRIMINAL' IN 'RANDOM' SC HOME INVASION: POLICELong's companion's lengthy criminal history, primarily misdemeanors, was brought to light after he was charged.In April 2018, he was charged with theft of services valued between $750 and $2,500, a case that was ultimately resolved in County Court. Later that year, in November 2018, he was charged with assault causing bodily injury to a family member, another misdemeanor.In March 2019, Kistler was charged with violating a protective order or bond conditions in a domestic violence case, which was also resolved without a felony conviction. In July 2023, he faced another theft charge involving property valued between $750 and $2,500, again concluding with a misdemeanor disposition.In addition to these closed misdemeanors, Kistler is involved in two ongoing legal proceedings.In May 2019, he was indicted by a grand jury for burglary of a habitationa felony. After a period of inactivity, the case was reactivated and remains pending.In July 2022, Kistler was charged in connection with a vehicle accident that caused at least $200 in damage. That case has also been reopened.Fox News Digital reached out to Kistler's attorney for comment.Henry Long, the father of the victim, released a statement mourning the death of his daughter and calling for Finch to stay in jail."Ashlees life mattered. And so does justice," Long wrote on Facebook. "Kendrick Finch must remain behind bars permanently."He made the choice to kill. He should not be given the opportunity to walk free and make that choice again."Long said the pain of losing a child is "indescribable.""But to lose her this way to gun violence at the hands of a stranger is a trauma no family should have to endure," he wrote. "Kendrick Finch made the choice to take her life. He didnt just end her future he shattered the lives of everyone who loved her."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the timing of a potential face-to-face meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin regarding a ceasefire deal in Ukraine in an interview that aired Sunday.Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday while returning to Washington, D.C., from Abu Dhabi that no peace in Ukraine would be reached until he met with Putin in person. The president added in a Truth Social post on Saturday that he planned to speak with Putin on the phone on Monday, followed by a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and some NATO leaders.Meanwhile, Rubio who attended Pope Leo XIV's inaugural mass in Rome on Sunday said the Vatican has offered to host a direct meeting between Ukraine, Russia and possibly other parties."Obviously, the Vatican has made a very generous offer to host anything by the way, not just a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin, but any meeting, including at a technical level, you know any meetings that need to be hosted, they've expressed a willingness to do so. So it's a very generous offer that may be taken up on," Rubio told CBS' "Face the Nation" in an interview that was recorded on Saturday. "I mean, it would be a site that all parties would feel comfortable. So hopefully we'll get to that stage where talks are happening on a regular basis, and that the Vatican will have the opportunity to be one of the options."ZELENSKYY SHEDS DETAILS ON MEETING WITH VANCE, RUBIO IN ROME AFTER RUSSIA PEACE TALKS STALLRubio had a phone call with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, on Saturday after Putin was a no-show to a face-to-face meeting the Russian leader called with Zelenskyy in Turkey last week. Despite Putin's absence, the Ukrainian and Russian delegations did agree to a prisoner exchange of 1,000 people from each side, though a broader ceasefire or peace deal failed to materialize.CBS host Margaret Brennan asked Rubio if he spoke with Lavrov about lining up a face-to-face meeting between Trump and Putin."Well, we talked about a variety of things," said Rubio. "I wanted to get his readout on his view of how the talks went yesterday. They were not a complete waste of time. For example, there were 1,000 prisoners that are going to be exchanged, and that, from a humanitarian standpoint, is very positive. He explained to me that they are going to be preparing a document outlining their requirements for a ceasefire that would then lead to broader negotiations."Rubio said the Ukrainians will be working on their own proposal coming soon, and he hoped proposals from both sides would be "serious and viable.""So we'll have to wait and see. But he wanted me to know, and he communicated in our call, that their side will be working on a series of ideas and requirements that they would have in order to move forward with a ceasefire and further negotiations," he said.Rubio said the U.S. is "testing" whether the Russian are just "tapping" them along, as Trump has suggested could be the case.ZELENSKYY SPEAKS WITH TRUMP, ALLIES AFTER RUSSIA PEACE TALKS BROKER NO CEASEFIRE"On the one hand, we're trying to achieve peace and end a very bloody, costly and destructive war. So there's some element of patience that is required. On the other hand, we don't have time to waste," Rubio said. "There are a lot of other things happening in the world that we also need to be paying attention to. So we don't want to be involved in this process of just endless talks there has to be some progress, some movement forward. And if at the end of this, in the next few days, we get a document produced by both sides, and it shows that both sides are making concessions and being realistic and rational in their approach, then I think we can feel good about continuing to remain engaged.""If, on the other hand, what we see is not very productive, perhaps we'll have a different assessment. I also agree that, ultimately, one of the things that could help break this logjam perhaps the only thing that can is a direct conversation between President Trump and Vladimir Putin. And he's already openly expressed a desire and a belief that that needs to happen, and hopefully that'll be worked out soon as well," he added.Pressed on whether the in-person talks between Trump and Putin were being planned, Rubio reiterated that the president had already made that offer publicly."The mechanics of setting that kind of meeting up would require a little bit of work, so I can't say that's being planned as we speak in terms of picking a site and a date," Rubio said. "But the president wants to do it. He wants to do it as soon as feasible. I think the Russian side has also expressed a willingness to do it. And so, now it's just a question of bringing them, bringing everyone together, and figuring out where and when and that meeting will happen and what it will be about."Rubio joined Vice President JD Vance in meeting with Zelenskyy at the U.S. ambassadors residence in Rome on Sunday.Vance and Rubio later met with Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for discussions on trade, the war in Ukraine and NATO spending, according to a spokesperson for the vice president."The individual countries within Europe are important allies of the United States. But, of course, we have some disagreements, as friends sometimes do, on issues like trade, and we also have many agreements and many things we can work on together, and Im looking forward to the conversation," Vance told reporters at the top of the meeting.After the meeting, the vice president's office released a statement saying that "the leaders discussed their shared goal of ending the bloodshed in Ukraine and provided updates on the current state of negotiations for a ceasefire and lasting peace."Fox News Meghan Tomes and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Bill Belichick pulled back the curtain on how he was able to keep the relationship between quarterback Tom Brady and wide receiver Antonio Brown in a good place while he was the head coach of the New England Patriots.The Patriots signed the wide receiver toward the beginning of the 2019 season following his abrupt departure from the Las Vegas Raiders. He ended up playing one game for New England and had four catches for 56 yards and a touchdown.

He was only with the Patriots for 11 days," Belichick said. "And, Toms very nutrition-oriented. Antonio wanted to Tom had Antonio come and stay at his house, wanted to embrace him, bring him onto the team and so forth.EX-NFL STAR RIPS CALEB WILLIAMS' 'LEVEL OF ENTITLEMENT' OVER ALLEGED BEARS DRAFT-DODGE ATTEMPT"Antonio ordered this special milk for Brady, it cost $5,000.

Sometimes, youve just got to do the right thing, and I didnt want to ruin the relationship between Brown and Brady on this spoiled milk," he said.While Browns time with the Patriots didnt last long, he and Brady did go on to win a Super Bowl while they were with the Buccaneers during the 2020 season.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy tore into Democrats and the liberal media for allegedly covering up former President Joe Biden's decline in mental acuity while he was in office in a fiery social media post on Saturday.Portnoy claimed that members of the Democratic Party covered up that Biden was an "absolute vegetable" while he was still serving as president, calling it "the greatest cover-up in the history of American politics.""If you had two eyes and a brain, you knew that Joe Biden was a f------ vegetable," Portnoy claimed. "The guy was falling off bikes, falling down stairs, couldn't get off-stage, freezing every time he spoke."DAVE PORTNOY SAYS AUSCHWITZ OFFER TO MAN ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN ANTISEMITIC SIGN IS REVOKEDThe sports media personality claimed that Biden's decline in mental sharpness was so apparent, he believed that Democrats encouraged Biden to debate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump "just to get him out" of the race."These videos coming out today, it's like Chuck Schumer, people are point-blank asking him Hey Chuck, you knew that Biden was a vegetable, yet you vouched for him. You were like, he was as mentally fit as Ive ever seen,'" Portnoy said, adding, "So you basically lied, and like, how do you explain that?"CNN's Jake Tapper, who recently co-authored a book detailing the alleged cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline, was also caught in Portnoy's crosshairs."Even f------ Jake Tapper, he's like, Well maybe it was a little the medias fault,' whatever," Portnoy said. "Jake, we've seen the interview with Lara Trump when she's like, Hes mentally unfit,' and you're like screaming at her."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREPortnoy alleged that "all Democrats" and the liberal media are guilty of covering up Biden's mental decline and called them "disgusting.""Who would have been making the decisions if he ran for president? It certainly wasn't him. Was it Chuck Schumer? Jeffries? Pelosi? Obama? Clooney?" he asked. "This was the greatest scandal I said it in real-time in the history of American politics."The Barstool Sports founder noted that people call him out constantly for his support of Trump, but noted that they "never look in the f------ mirror.""People have this image the left that you're a bad person, you're dishonest, you're a liar, you're a cheat if you vote for Trump," Portnoy said. "Have y'all looked at the other side? They're the most crooked organization ever. Trump is Mother Teresa compared to these people."He continued his argument against those who have criticized him for his support for Trump, saying, "So next time you're like, Oh how'd you vote for Trump?, either you were a willing, complicit person in the cover-up for the Democrats, or you're a braindead moron who doesn't see reality."

A family was banned from boarding their flight after British Airways staff became suspicious of insect bites on their baby's leg, according to a report from SWNS.Expat Jonathan Arthur, 34, and his wife Xun Sun, 35, were flying from Shanghai Pudong Airport to London Heathrow for a family wedding.They noticed some insect bites on their 1-year-old son Josephs leg as they approached the boarding gate and asked airline staff where they could buy some allergy medication, just in case.FLESH-EATING NEW WORLD SCREWWORM COULD POSE HEALTH RISKS TO CATTLE, HUMANSWhen the staff at the boarding gate saw the bites and heard the family talking about allergy medication, they became concerned, the report stated."They asked loads of questions after they saw the bites, and so we told them about his mild peanut allergy," said Jonathan Arthur. "The medical staff at the airport said to apply some ointment and wait 10 minutes, which we were happy to do. But the BA staff said we needed to call their medical advice line. They thought his peanut allergy was the cause so they didnt want to take the risk."The family also sent photos to an online doctor, who confirmed they were insect bites but recommended administering some antihistamines to help with the swelling.The baby's bites were no larger than 1 cm in diameter and disappeared within 10 to 15 minutes after applying the bite cream, causing him no further discomfort, as stated by SWNS.PREGNANT WOMAN AND BABY SAVED AFTER DOCTORS FIND GRAPEFRUIT-SIZED TUMOR: 'EXTREMELY RARE'"It was nothing more than swollen bites," said Jonathan Arthur.Despite the fact that the baby's bites were already starting to subside, the airline said the family wouldnt be allowed to board without a "fit to fly" letter from a doctor.The Arthurs were escorted away from the gate, "feeling like criminals," according to the SWNS report. They rebooked with another airline that did not require a medical letter.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"We were treated like we had done something wrong," said Jonathan Arthur, per the SWNS report.In a statement to Fox News Digital, British Airways stated, "We take the safety and well-being of our customers very seriously and do everything we can to support them when issues like this arise. This includes accessing specialist medical advice to assess an individual's suitability to travel, which is what happened in this case.""Whilst we appreciate our customer was disappointed with this decision, we never compromise passenger safety."Jonathan and Xun Arthur are now in contact with British Airways and their third-party booking agency to claim a refund for the disrupted travel.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"I find it strange that someone else in a different country can speak to an airport staff member who isn't a medical professional, and diagnose and refuse boarding, without seeing the rash," Jonathan Arthur added."When you pay for a service, you expect to be treated like a customer, not like a hindrance."
