Jimmy Butler Making Minivan Moves In Miami | JIMMYVAN
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler is known as one of the most interesting men in the NBA simply because he doesn't fit the mold of a typical star player. Sure he gets buckets like any NBA superstar but he's also country music lover, and avid driver of his Toyota Sienna minivan. Jimmy pulled up in his #Sienna to grab his tight-knit crew in one car so they can head out in search of the perfect spot to relax in Miami. Check out what they get up to in #JimmyVan, presented by @toyotausa. #LetsGoPlaces

Drowning by Sunrise
On March 8, Damain Martin drowned in a canal near Sunrise, Florida. Martin, who was 16 years old, was trying to escape the police officers who had spotted him and a group of friends in a car reported stolen. Although many of that afternoon’s events remain unclear, this much is known: A police officer deployed his Taser near the canal while trying to apprehend Damain. This video investigation by The Intercept and Florida Center for Investigative Reporting casts doubt on the official findings.
