Boston homicide detectives are investigating a death at a Mattapan rental property that city records tie to the husband of Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley.

Officers reached 25 Malta St. at 1:52 p.m. after a caller asked police to check on a person there, department spokesperson James Moccia told CBS News Boston. They found the individual dead, Moccia said, adding that he had nothing further to share and that the homicide unit had taken the case.

A second department spokesperson, Sgt. Det. John Boyle, characterized the matter to The Boston Globe as a death investigation. Police have not named the deceased or disclosed a cause of death, and few specifics had surfaced by Saturday evening, the Globe reported.

Red crime scene tape ringed the property and a cruiser idled out front that evening, CBS News Boston reported. An officer stood watch at the front door, and officers on scene would not say whether anyone had been staying there, according to Mass Daily News.

The Brief

• NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his wife hosted Mahmoud Khalil and his family at the Gracie Mansion this past weekend.
• It comes one year after the former Columbia University graduate was arrested by ICE.
• The Palestinian activist has since been freed, but his deportation case remains tied up in court.

NEW YORK CITY - New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosted Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia University graduate student arrested by ICE last year, and his family for Ramadan dinner at the mayor's residence this weekend.

What they're saying

Mamdani posted a photo of the dinner to social media on Monday, stating that he and his wife invited Khalil, his wife and their son to break their fast together.

The dinner also marked the one year since the Palestinian activist was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents outside his apartment in New York City.

"For Mahmoud Khalil, this past year has been marked by profound hardship—and by profound courage," Mamdani said in the photo caption. "And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child."

Tim Armstrong’s Hail Mary Pass

February 7, 2011

Posted by Ken Auletta

AOL’s purchase of the Huffington Post is the equivalent of a fourth-quarter Hail Mary pass. The game clock was ticking down on C.E.O. Tim Armstrong’s pledge to demonstrate by the second half of this year that AOL could mount a comeback from the near dead. AOL suffered a dismal last quarter of 2010, with revenues and traffic and subscribers continuing to fall. Quarterback Armstrong was not scoring with pledges to transform AOL into a content company. He boldly threw about a hundred and twenty million dollars per year at Patch, an attempt to create hyper-local online news sites, which I describe in my piece on Armstrong that ran in the magazine last month. He hired more journalists last year than any news organization. He dared make acquisitions of quality sites, like TechCrunch. Because Armstrong is a charismatic C.E.O., and came to AOL with an aura of success from Google, he was embraced as an inspirational team leader.

But as Ben Roethlisberger reminded us in the Super Bowl yesterday, quarterbacks can go from hero to bum if they fail to get in the end zone. Armstrong needed to call an audible, to do something different to score. When Armstrong claims, as he did, that the synergies to be achieved by combining the two companies was the equivalent of one plus one equals eleven, I’m reminded of when AOL and Time Warner made similar claims for their 2000 merger. Beware. But by placing AOL’s content efforts under the Huffington Post umbrella, Armstrong demonstrates that he understands that AOL can’t win by gaining a few yards at a time. He had to scramble and throw a long pass, and he has.
