Running back Duke Johnson, who played for the Cleveland Browns and three other teams across eight NFL seasons, announced his retirement on Sunday. The pass-catching specialist was not on a team in 2023, last appearing in one game for the Buffalo Bills during the 2022 season. "8 Years 4 teams with 1 goal in mind, create a better life for my family," Johnson wrote in an Instagram post. "I never dreamed of being the all time leading rusher of my dream school or being somewhere on the list of all time players to come out of South FL. I just wanted an opportunity to play a game to provide a better life for my family and I was able to do just that. I want to thank each team for giving me the chance to play and represent your organization and all the fans that supported me through the highs and lows." Johnson, 30, racked up 3,519 rushing yards in three seasons at Miami and is still the Hurricanes' all-time rushing leader. He was drafted in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft by Cleveland and spent four seasons there. His career-best season came in 2017 when he gained 1,041 yards from scrimmage (348 rushing, 693 receiving) and totaled seven touchdowns. After 97 career games (21 starts) with the Browns, Houston Texans (2019-20), Miami Dolphins (2021) and Bills (2022), Johnson finished his career with 2,265 rushing yards, 11 rushing touchdowns and 311 receptions for 2,870 yards and 12 touchdowns. --Field Level Media

Jose Raul Mulino, the protege of a graft-convicted former head of state, took the lead in Panama's presidential election Sunday evening with half the votes counted, according to election tribunal data.
José Raúl Mulino, the stand-in for former President Ricardo Martinelli in Panama's presidential election, is on his way to becoming the new leader of the Central American nation. With nearly 90% of the votes counted Sunday night, the 64-year-old former security minister’s top three competitors conceded as he led the race with nearly 35% of the vote. He had a nine-point lead over other candidates. Mulino replaced Martinelli as candidate when the firebrand former leader was banned from running after being sentenced to 10 years in prison for money laundering. The new president will face pressing challenges. Those include deep political discontent, historic migration and a lagging economy exacerbated by mass protests last year and a drought that has slashed transit in the Panama Canal.

Baja California state prosecutors said relatives from the two countries had viewed the corpses recovered from a remote well and recognized them as their loved ones. Thieves apparently killed the three, who were on a surfing trip to Mexico’s Baja peninsula, to steal their truck because they wanted the tires. They then allegedly got rid of the bodies by dumping them in a well near the coast. Three suspects are being held in connection with the case.
