Missouri Prosecutor Eric Zahnd Dies in Courthouse Amid Active MSHP Investigation

Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd, the longest-serving in the county's history, died inside the courthouse on September 17, 2026. Authorities confirmed he was the subject of an active criminal investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) at the time of his death. While the MSHP declined to specify the allegations, Zahnd’s family claims the probe stems from a minor error involving county email usage in a political dispute, not serious misconduct. The death prompted a closure of the courthouse and widespread tributes from state officials, though details regarding the cause of death remain limited.

DOJ Fires Prosecutor After ICE Shooting Civil-Rights Push

The Trump-era DOJ fired Minneapolis-based Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Evans, who pressed for civil-rights charges against ICE agent Christian Castro for a January shooting through a closed door during Operation Metro Surge. Main Justice reportedly blocked the effort; Castro was indicted on false-statements charges, while Evans is now under federal investigation for leaks or obstruction as new video evidence undermined Castro’s account and the civil-rights push collapsed.

US DOJ taps local prosecutors to back new national fraud unit

The Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division has ordered all U.S. attorney’s offices to designate a local prosecutor to serve with the Washington-based Fraud Division, in a bid to coordinate a nationwide anti-fraud effort. Starting July 1, the assigned AUSAs should not take on new cases without fraud-division approval, as DOJ looks to boost staffing and effectiveness—potentially using temporary local prosecutors and cross-agency referrals to tackle fraud in areas like public benefits and health care.
