 * Keep. It has only been a few months. There is plenty of coverage of the initial event, and more is certain to come from the investigation and prosecution. - SimonP (talk) 21:01, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just a news story with no lasting WP:EFFECT. All sources are breaking news. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 22:31, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Thebiguglyalien, I've updated the article. Notability determinations depend on sources that exist in the real world, not just the sources already cited in the article.  There were multiple articles from the Associated Press (indicating that this was national news) and other publications that aren't breaking news.  I wonder if you'd like to check again.

 * Keep per SimonP. JeffSpaceman (talk) 02:32, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per SimonP. Calienteramen (talk) 03:27, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep for now per everyone else, though this article could use some more expansion. Corgi Stays (talk) 03:47, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep as per SimonP. TH1980 (talk) 01:15, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Trial to come, so not dormant yet. WWGB (talk) 06:31, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per enough coverage of the event. Paul Vaurie (talk) 20:25, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * FYI, no one has explained how this article meets Notability_(events). There is no depth or duration of coverage, no lasting impact or widespread geographic impact. It is barely even discussed in local media at this point.--User:Namiba 20:36, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Namiba, I was adding more sources while you were typing this. One of them is several thousand words long.   WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:43, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: many Wikipedia articles have not much impact, so does that mean we need to delete most Wikipedia articles? Thehistorianisaac (talk) 04:57, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
