Nov. 23, 2025, 3:00 PM ESTBy Doha MadaniThe FBI announced the capture of a man wanted for his alleged role in a drug-trafficking network that authorities say is led by a former Olympic snowboarder on the bureau’s Ten Most Wanted list.Rasheed Pascua Hossain, 32, was arrested Friday by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Company. His profile on the FBI “Most Wanted” list was updated afterward to note that he had been “captured.”Authorities say Hossain helped facilitate money laundering for what federal officials described as a criminal enterprise run by failed Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding. Authorities named Wedding when announcing a federal indictment last week, saying that he and Hossain were still at large, along with one other suspect.Hossain is accused of concealing drug trafficking proceeds and allegedly using the money to further facilitate the criminal conspiracy. Federal court records were not immediately available for Hossain, and its unclear if he has retained an attorney.The FBI did not respond to NBC News’ request for more information about Hossain’s arrest.Wedding is still on the run, and officials believe he is being sheltered by drug cartels.Federal officials say Wedding oversees an enterprise responsible for importing more than 60 tons of cocaine into Los Angeles each year. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi described him as controlling “one of the most prolific and violent drug-trafficking organizations in this world.”“He is currently the largest distributor of cocaine in Canada,” Bondi said at a press conference Wednesday.Wedding allegedly ordered the assassinations of rival traffickers and put a “multimillion dollar bounty” on a witness expected to testify against him. That witness was fatally shot at a restaurant in Colombia in January, according to the Justice Department. Court documents filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and cited by the CBC indicate another witness had turned on him and “agreed to assist U.S. authorities in the investigation of Wedding’s organization, specifically in regard to the January 2025 murder.”Last week’s indictment also accuses Wedding of ordering the deaths of two members of a family in retaliation for a stolen drug shipment.Prosecutors charged Wedding with murder, witness tampering and intimidation, money laundering and drug trafficking. A $15 million reward is being offered for information that might lead to his arrest.Wedding represented Team Canada in the 2002 Winter Olympics but did not medal. He was later convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine after being caught traveling to San Diego to purchase the drug with two other men.At his 2010 sentencing hearing, Wedding appeared to show remorse, saying, “I guess I lost my way.”He was released from federal prison in December 2011.Last week, 10 people were arrested as part of the federal investigation dubbed “Operation Giant Slalom.” The FBI is still searching for Mexican national Bianca Canastillo-Madrid and Canadian Tommy Demorizi, believed to be hiding in the Dominican Republic.Doha MadaniDoha Madani is a senior breaking news reporter for NBC News.

Nov. 23, 2025, 10:26 PM ESTBy Andrew GreifTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield left Sunday’s Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams and was ruled doubtful to return after appearing to injure his left shoulder twice in the first half.Mayfield was replaced by backup Teddy Bridgewater to begin the third quarter. Mayfield had his left shoulder checked in the second quarter after taking a hard hit on a scramble, and grimaced later in the drive after throwing a touchdown pass to Tez Johnson. He walked to a medical tent not moving his left arm.After his left shoulder was checked between drives, Mayfield wound up to throw as far as he could on the final play before halftime, but after throwing an interception, Mayfield immediately reached for the same shoulder and was helped off the field.Mayfield had endured a brutal first half as Tampa fell behind 31-7, completing nine of his 19 passes for 41 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Mayfield also was sacked twice.Andrew GreifAndrew Greif is a sports reporter for NBC News Digital.

Nov. 23, 2025, 2:40 PM ESTBy Angela Yang“Wicked: For Good” didn’t need magic to shatter box office records.The highly anticipated sequel to the first “Wicked” is now the No. 1 film at the domestic box office, hauling in an estimated $150 million domestically and $226 million worldwide this weekend.The film had the biggest-ever opening weekend for a Broadway adaptation, beating out its predecessor, which opened to $112.5 million almost exactly a year ago. It also achieved the second-highest opening weekend of the year, just behind “A Minecraft Movie,” which raked in $163 million when it debuted in April.Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends at box office data company Comscore, said he was impressed that “Wicked: For Good” outpaced “Wicked” at the box office, noting there’s never a guarantee that sequels of popular movies will perform to expectations.“That doesn’t always happen,” he said. “It’s a testament to how much audiences around the world love ‘Wicked,’ these stars and just the way these movies are presented on the big screen.”Dergarabedian attributed much of the film’s success to the marketing push from Universal Pictures — including a range of product partnerships, themed experiences and viral press moments from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo — that have turned Universal Pictures’ “Wicked” franchise into a cultural event.(NBC News and Universal Pictures share Comcast as a parent company.)Movie theaters this weekend were decked out in pink-and-green popcorn tins and drink cups, with some even offering “Wicked”-themed photo-ops for viewers. Online, fans shared videos of themselves dressed in Elphaba- or Glinda-inspired outfits as they headed to the theaters.The second installment of the two-part film series takes on slightly darker tones than the fluffier first movie, exploring Elphaba’s exile as the Wicked Witch of the West while Glinda, now living a glamorous life as the Good Witch, wrestles with complicated feelings about their friendship.“Wicked: For Good” opened to a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as an A on Cinemascore. Dergarabedian said he expects the film, which debuted right ahead of Thanksgiving weekend, to have long-term playability going into the holidays.“This isn’t just a one-weekend wonder,” Dergarabedian said. “This is a film that’s perfectly tailored for audiences over the next six weeks, heading all the way to New Year’s Eve and beyond.”He predicts the film will help fuel one of the biggest-ever Thanksgiving weeks for movie theaters, along with the upcoming Wednesday release of “Zootopia 2.”After a quiet October, he said, “Wicked: For Good” is kicking off the momentum for a slew of potential end-of-year box office hits, including “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” on Dec. 5, as well as “Avatar: Fire and Ash” and “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants” on Dec. 19.Angela YangAngela Yang is a culture and trends reporter for NBC News.
