Luigi Mangione's slew of Chinese supporters might have been behind the shocking SHEIN ad, highlighting the suspected killer's good looks, that's gone viral ... according to sources with direct knowledge of the situation.

New twist in the case of the Kentucky judge who was fatally shot on camera by a former sheriff ... turns out Judge Kevin Mullins allegedly had NO relationship with the underage daughter of ex-Sheriff Shawn Stines.

First, let's recap ... back in Sept. 2024, Mullins was sitting at his desk in his chambers when Stines walked in with a gun and shot him dead ... as a security camera captured the shooting on video, which was later publicly disseminated. Prosecutors charged former Letcher County Sheriff Stines with murder.
