What you won't expect — what stops people in their tracks — are the fully realized, intricately detailed manga panels that fill Harper Madison's pages from edge to edge.", "content": "Walk into any seventh-grade classroom in The Woodlands and you'll find the usual assortment of spiral notebooks, half-finished homework, and doodles in the margins. What you won't expect — what stops people in their tracks — are the fully realized, intricately detailed manga panels that fill Harper Madison's pages from edge to edge.\n\nHarper is thirteen years old, and she is already working at a level of artistic sophistication that takes most illustrators years of dedicated study to reach. Her characters breathe. Their expressions carry emotional weight. Her compositions — layered vignettes orbiting a central figure, panels within panels, dynamic action frozen in graphite and pigment — feel like pages torn from a professional anthology, not a middle schooler's sketchbook.\n\nWhat sets Harper apart isn't just technical skill, though that alone is remarkable. It's her instinct for narrative. Every piece she creates tells a story. In one recent colored-pencil work, a central character stands at the crossroads of their world — jersey number 17, the glow of Olympic rings floating nearby, a strawberry tucked into a thought bubble, secondary characters murmuring in the periphery. It's a complete universe rendered on a single sheet of paper, and every element was placed there with intention.\n\nPerhaps most impressive is how Harper channels her artistic voice into the world around her. In a recent piece titled Battle of San Jacinto — a subject drawn straight from Texas history class — she reimagined the legendary confrontation between Sam Houston's forces and General Santa Anna entirely in her signature manga style. The figures are dressed in period detail, the battle-worn textures are painstakingly cross-hatched, and the storytelling framing is pure Harper: cinematic, expressive, alive.\n\nIt's the kind of creative fusion — academic subject matter filtered through a distinctive personal lens — that signals an artist who isn't just talented, but genuinely original. Harper doesn't copy a style. She inhabits it and makes it her own.\n\nThat Harper signs every piece with a clean, deliberate copyright mark — © HarperMadison 2026 — speaks volumes about the seriousness with which she approaches her craft. This is not a hobby she dabbles in between classes. It is a practice, a discipline, a point of view. She protects her work because she values it, and that self-awareness as a creative is something even professional artists sometimes spend a career learning.\n\nThe manga and anime tradition she draws from — Japan's globally beloved visual storytelling language — is one of the most technically demanding art forms in popular culture. Mastering its anatomy, its linework, its expressive vocabulary of eyes and motion lines and panel composition requires hundreds of hours of study and practice. The fact that Harper is doing so at thirteen, with results this confident and polished, puts her on a trajectory that any art educator would find extraordinary.\n\nThe Woodlands has always been a community that nurtures talent — in athletics, in academics, in music. Harper Madison is a reminder that the next generation of homegrown creatives is already at work, pen in hand, filling pages with worlds of their own making.\n\nKeep an eye on this name. Harper Madison.

That was the case though Sunday night due to a rain delay at the PGA Tour's Travelers Championship, and with Scottie Scheffler in contention.An NBC Sports spokesman said the decision was made in consultation with the PGA Tour and Major League Baseball to stick with coverage of the golf tournament once it resumed at 7:20 p.m. EDT until it finished or was suspended due to darkness. Scheffler — the world's No.. 1 player — made an 8-foot par putt on the 18th hole to force a sudden-death playoff against Viktor Hovland on Monday morning. Tournament officials determined officials deemed there was not enough daylight to start the playoff.The final round was stopped for 90 minutes as storms moved over the TPC River Highlands course in Cromwell, Connecticut. NBC aired the conclusion of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. The start of the final round of third women's major of the year in Chaska, Minnesota, was delayed 3 1/2 hours due to rain. Haeran Ryu won by two strokes for her first major title.The Yankees-Red Sox game was also streamed on Peacock. NBC picked up coverage at 8:28 p.m. during the bottom of the fourth inning with the Red Sox leading 2-0.NBC viewers still got to see the more interesting parts of the game. Boston's Sonny Gray had a no-hitter through seven innings before the Yankees' Amed Rosario ended it with a single with one out in the eighth inning. New York rallied for two runs in the ninth to send it into extra innings and then scored two in the 10th to take a 4-2 lead.The Red Sox though scored three in the 10th, including Jarren Duran's game-winning RBI single, to beat the Yankees 5-4 and complete a four-game sweep of their longtime rival.This is NBC's first season carrying “Sunday Night Baseball.” It was the first Yankees-Red Sox game on NBC since Sept. 8, 1995.___AP sports: https://apnews.com/sports", "url": "https://www.click2houston.com/entertainment/2026/06/29/nbc-bumps-yankees-red-sox-to-stay-with-golf-as-scheffler-forces-playoff/", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fgraham-media-group%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Ff_auto%2Fq_auto%2Fc_thumb%2Cw_700%2Fv1%2Fmedia%2Fgmg%2F2I2BLFVNVJGNVAN74LMG44OCJE.jpg", "publishDate": "2026-06-29T02:23:50.000Z", "source": "Click2Houston", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Associated Press", "localScore": 50, "category": "local", "editorialWeight": 10, "editorialTier": "general", "editorialReason": null, "briefingScore": 90, "type": "news" }, { "id": 46, "archiveId": "gw1pso", "slug": "brazil-and-japan-will-play-in-houston-to-open-the-world-cups-knockout-rounds", "title": "Brazil and Japan will play in Houston to open the World Cup's knockout rounds", "excerpt": "The two national soccer teams are expected to bring with them to Houston a broad base of supporters for the round-of-32 match, scheduled for noon Monday, June 29, at NRG Stadium.", "content": "The two national soccer teams are expected to bring with them to Houston a broad base of supporters for the round-of-32 match, scheduled for noon Monday, June 29, at NRG Stadium.", "url": "https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/sports/world-cup/2026/06/24/555490/brazil-world-cup-houston-stadium/?utm_source=rss-world-cup-article&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=hpm-rss-link", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.houstonpublicmedia.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F24195018%2FAP26176011601415-450x300.jpg", "publishDate": "2026-06-25T01:12:42.000Z", "source": "Houston Public Media", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Michael Adkison", "localScore": 10, "category": "traffic", "editorialWeight": 10, "editorialTier": "general", "editorialReason": null, "briefingScore": 25, "type": "news" }, { "id": 10, "archiveId": "3sav7j", "slug": "harris-county-commissioners-appointed-a-new-flood-control-director-heres-what-to-know", "title": "Harris County commissioners appointed a new flood control director.

Clark was in the number three lane of traffic when they were struck by an unknown vehicle traveling southbound. The impact threw Clark from the number three lane into the adjacent number four southbound lane. The driver of the vehicle did not stop and left the scene. Investigators say several additional vehicles also hit Clark, but none of the drivers stopped to render aid or call 911.For his mother, Felicia Clark, the tragedy is almost impossible to comprehend.“It’s so tragic,” she said. “I don’t understand how someone could leave my baby out there like that.

In 2023, her older son, Robert Jones, a postal worker and Kevon’s older brother, was also killed in a hit-and-run. Clark says the two brothers shared a close bond, and Kevon looked up to his older sibling.Despite enduring unimaginable grief, Clark says her faith has helped her continue moving forward.“It’s very hard, and the only thing that keeps me going is by the grace of God,” she said. “I have my moments, I have my days, but I refuse to give up.”Family members describe Kevon Clark as outgoing, compassionate and always willing to help others.

There are no residency requirements, but minors must have parental consent. “I was (a patient) from 17 to 24,” said Elsa Perla, who says Baylor teen health clinics gave her care she wouldn’t have been able to access elsewhere. “It was great. If I had any questions, they were there for me, and it was completely free.”Longtime patient Kayla Mendiola agrees.“I come from a family that is low-income, so to have that opportunity to have something completely free, something I don’t have to stress about, it was incredibly important and special.”4 Houston-area residents face federal charges, accused of flying drones in FIFA World Cup no-drone zoneBut that’s not all these clinics provide. In addition to free healthcare, patients with a high school diploma or GED who want to pursue a health care profession are connected to ascend, a privately-funded program that pays the tuition for community college certification courses, removing financial barriers to post-secondary education.You can learn more about Baylor’s teen health clinics, including locations and services provided, here.Find information on the ascend program here.", "url": "https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2026/06/27/baylor-teen-health-clinics-provide-free-medical-care-mental-health-services/", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fgraham-media-group%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Ff_auto%2Fq_auto%2Fc_thumb%2Cw_700%2Fv1%2Fmedia%2Fvideo%2Fkprc%2F8b590745-1e2d-4b2d-83cd-66e8fb447a27%2Fimage.jpg", "publishDate": "2026-06-27T02:23:37.000Z", "source": "Click2Houston", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Lisa Hernandez", "localScore": 30, "category": "government", "editorialWeight": 80, "editorialTier": "civic", "editorialReason": "harris county", "briefingScore": 140, "type": "news" }, { "id": 46, "archiveId": "qxs87p", "slug": "hello-houston-the-commuter-cut-june-24-2026", "title": "Hello Houston – The Commuter Cut (June 24, 2026)", "excerpt": "For our busy Houston commuters, we have – The Commuter Cut – a special 40-minute version of our show to listen to during your journey home.", "content": "For our busy Houston commuters, we have – The Commuter Cut – a special 40-minute version of our show to listen to during your journey home.", "url": "https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/shows/hello-houston/2026/06/24/555372/hello-houston-the-commuter-cut-june-24-2026/?utm_source=rss-hello-houston-article&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=hpm-rss-link", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.houstonpublicmedia.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F03%2F31085146%2FHH_Podcast-Cover_The-Commuter-Cut-450x450.jpg", "publishDate": "2026-06-24T20:00:37.000Z", "source": "Houston Public Media", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Garrett Bohlmann", "localScore": 10, "category": "local", "editorialWeight": 10, "editorialTier": "general", "editorialReason": null, "briefingScore": 25, "type": "news" }, { "id": 44, "archiveId": "5vaoi5", "slug": "las-vegas-woman-accused-of-running-illegal-multi-million-dollar-healthcare-scheme-in-pearland-prosec", "title": "Las Vegas woman accused of running illegal multi-million-dollar healthcare scheme in Pearland, prosecutors say", "excerpt": "Marizel Yukee is accused of providing medically unnecessary allografts to patients while receiving kickbacks, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Precinct 5 detectives, deputies and the agency’s Strategic Response Unit were involved in the investigation and her arrest, officials said.According to a probable cause affidavit filed in Harris County, the case was reported June 15 after a theft call at Memorial Oaks Funeral Home, 13001 Katy Freeway. The funeral home manager told investigators he discovered two mausoleum “niches” had been entered on June 6 at about 8 p.m. The affidavit describes niches as glass-fronted displays inside an enclosed mausoleum where cremated remains and personal belongings are kept.The affidavit says surveillance video showed a woman arriving in a silver SUV, entering the mausoleum and opening multiple locked niche cases before taking items. A young child believed to be 3 to 5 years old was with her, according to the document. Allbritton’s office said the toddler seen in the surveillance video was with Fennel at the time of her arrest and was released to a family member.Investigators noted the mausoleum is normally open to the public only during business hours, Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The document states the doors were mistakenly left unlocked that night, allowing the suspect to get inside after hours.Houston man linked to Gilley murder scene property dispute previously claimed to own $1.7M Memorial homeFamily members later provided investigators with descriptions and estimated values of what was missing, the affidavit says. In one case, a son reported that three gold Mahjong pieces were removed from a 13-piece set placed in his father’s memorial. He estimated the set’s value before the theft at about $3,700 and told investigators the remaining pieces lost value to the family because the set was no longer complete, according to the affidavit.In the second niche, a relative reported that a silver James Avery cross worn by the deceased at the time of death was missing, with an estimated value of $150, the affidavit states. The same family member also reported an aquamarine rosary valued at about $20 was taken.The affidavit says the constable’s office shared the surveillance video publicly in an effort to identify the suspect. A tipster later provided a name, which investigators said led them to Fennel through a combination of law enforcement records and database research. The document states investigators linked her to a silver Lincoln MKC and matched visible damage on the vehicle to the SUV seen in surveillance footage. License plate reader data also placed the vehicle in the Houston area the day of the incident, the affidavit says.‘I’m so scared’: Bodycam shows Conroe woman’s traffic stop escalate into arrestFennel was arrested on two felony charges of burglary and theft from a graveyard, Allbritton’s office said.

He will be the first African American to serve in this crucial role,” Briones said.Briones said Stuckett brings more than two decades of experience delivering major flood control projects throughout the region and is prepared to lead the district at a critical time.“Nothing is more important than keeping our families safe from flooding, and I look forward to working with Stuckett and our dedicated team to do just that,” she said.Harris County flood officials push back on delay claims, promise construction by JuneAccording to reports, Stuckett previously served in several leadership roles at the Flood Control District, including engineering division director and watershed management department manager. Most recently, he worked in the private sector after leaving the agency in 2022.The leadership transition comes as Harris County continues to advance a historic number of flood mitigation projects while facing pressure to meet deadlines associated with Hurricane Harvey recovery funding. County officials have said more flood control projects are currently underway than at any point in the district’s history.Briones said the county has also made unprecedented investments in infrastructure maintenance and must continue working with federal, state and community partners to deliver projects designed to protect homes and reduce flood risk.Harris County flood officials push back on delay claims, promise construction by June“While our Flood Control District has a new leader today, my focus remains the same: relentlessly delivering protection to the people of Harris County,” Briones said.Stuckett’s appointment follows Petersen’s resignation on June 11.

Free. A practical guide for Spring: pantries, SNAP, WIC, the 211 referral line, and how to use the free Feed America directory at feedam.org.", "content": "If groceries didn't fit the budget this month in Spring, you don't need a statistic to tell you that — you need to know where to get free food near you today, and whether the place you drive to will actually be open when you arrive. The fastest path is usually the simplest: a directory you can search by ZIP code or city, plus a phone line that answers around the clock. Feed America (feedam.org) runs the largest free directory of food assistance in the country.\n\nSearch 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing — all 50 states, DC, and US territories. Free. No account, no fee. Visit feedam.org and enter your ZIP code.\n\nIf you're in a hurry, start with the phone. Dial 2-1-1 to reach a local referral specialist — free, 24 hours a day — who can point you to nearby pantries, meal sites, and benefit offices. United Way's 211 network fielded about 19 million requests for help in 2025. You can also text your ZIP code to 898-211. The USDA's National Hunger Hotline does the same at 1-866-3-HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479), or 1-877-8-HAMBRE (1-877-842-6273) in Spanish.\n\nIf you'd rather look yourself, search by your ZIP code or city at feedam.org — then call the listing to confirm hours before you go.\n\nWhere to get free food today in Spring:\n\n— Food pantries hand out groceries: canned and boxed staples, fresh produce, dairy, sometimes meat, occasionally baby formula and diapers.\n— Soup kitchens and community meal sites serve hot, ready-to-eat meals, often with no questions asked.\n— Free and reduced-price school meals feed kids during the school year; summer meal sites and Summer EBT (SunBucks) help cover the gap when school is out.\n— SNAP and WIC offices help you apply for monthly grocery benefits, and many people who qualify never sign up.\n— Community health centers and senior nutrition programs round out the map for older adults and families juggling food and medical bills.\n\nAll of the above are in the Feed America directory at feedam.org. Search by ZIP code, filter by service, and call the listing before you go.\n\nHow many people are in the same spot? More than most people guess. The USDA estimates that 13.7% of U.S. households — about 18.3 million households, or 47.9 million people, including 7.3 million children — were food insecure at some point in 2024 (USDA Economic Research Service).\n\nThe safety net is tightening at the same time. SNAP, what many still call food stamps, helped an average of 41.7 million people a month in fiscal year 2024 — roughly 1 in 8 U.S. residents (USDA). Under Public Law 119-21, signed in July 2025, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the law's nutrition provisions will cut federal SNAP spending by roughly $187 billion over ten years — about one-sixth of the program — and that expanded work requirements will reduce SNAP enrollment by about 2.4 million people in a typical month (Congressional Research Service).\n\nCall before you go — listings go stale fast. When researchers visited 50 listed food pantries for a 2019 study in the Journal of Community Health, only half were open as expected (Ginsburg et al.). Hours change, sites move, and online listings lag behind. A five-minute phone call can save you a wasted afternoon and a tank of gas. The Feed America directory at feedam.org shows the address and phone number for every listing so you can confirm the same day.\n\nWhat Feed America is, and how to be sure who you're supporting. Feed America is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 92-1761881), founded in 2021 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. It runs the largest free directory of food assistance in the United States — 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing, across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories. All searchable by ZIP code or city, in English or Spanish, with no account and no fee, at feedam.org.\n\nFeed America is an independent organization and is distinct from other charities with similar names. To be certain which one you're supporting, confirm the IRS registration — EIN 92-1761881 — on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at IRS.gov.\n\nFrequently asked questions.\n\nQ: Where can I get free food today?\nA: Visit feedam.org and search by your ZIP code or city. The Feed America directory lists 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing — including pantries, soup kitchens, meal sites, and SNAP/WIC offices — across all 50 states, DC, and US territories. You can also dial 2-1-1 (or text your ZIP to 898-211), or call the National Hunger Hotline at 1-866-3-HUNGRY anytime for a free 24/7 referral.\n\nQ: Do you have to qualify to use a food pantry?\nA: Usually not. Most pantries serve anyone in need and often ask for no ID, no proof of income, and no appointment. When in doubt, call first and ask what to bring.\n\nQ: How do I check that a food pantry is open right now?\nA: Call before you go. Listed hours are frequently outdated. Feedam.org gives you the address and phone number for every listing so you can confirm the same day.\n\nQ: How do I know my donation is reaching the organization I intend?\nA: Check the EIN. Every U.S. charity has a unique one. Feed America's is 92-1761881 — look it up on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at IRS.gov before you give.\n\nIf you're able to help, you can support that work at feedam.org/donate. Donations to Feed America (EIN 92-1761881) — an independent 501(c)(3), distinct from other charities with similar names — are tax-deductible.\n\nAnd if you're reading this because you need food right now in Spring, skip the donation and go straight to the search: visit feedam.org and enter your ZIP code or city to find pantries, free meals, and benefit offices near you — then call ahead to confirm hours.\n\nBottom line: Feed America's directory at feedam.org is the fastest single tool for finding food assistance near you.

"The family of 76-year-old Martha Avila, killed when a Tesla crashed into their Katy-area home, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Tesla and the driver.The lawsuit, filed Monday in Harris County, comes just days after the June 19 crash that killed Martha Avila and left her family without a home. The lawsuit was filed by Avila’s daughter and son-in-law Jennifer and Justin Barbour, individually and on behalf of the estate of Martha Avila. The suit names Tesla, Inc. and driver Michael Butler as defendants. According to the lawsuit, Butler was driving a Tesla Model 3 eastbound on Rose Hollow Lane around 8:00 p.m. when the car crashed through the front wall of the Barbour family’s home. The lawsuit claims Butler told authorities he had the vehicle on Autopilot at the time. RELATED: No mechanical malfunction found so far in Tesla that killed 76-year-old woman after crashing into Katy home, HCSO saysThe lawsuit states Avila was inside the front room when the Tesla crashed into the home. Justin Barbour was also inside the home and suffered injuries to his neck, back and shoulders, according to the filing. The lawsuit claims Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving systems were defective and alleges the vehicle either failed to detect the end of the street and the home in its path or experienced sudden unintended acceleration. Specifically, the family alleges the vehicle:Failed to detect the end of the street and the home in its path; Failed to adequately monitor driver engagement; Failed to warn consumers about the limitations of its driver-assistance systems; and May have experienced sudden unintended acceleration. In addition to suing Tesla, the family also accuses the 44-year-old male driver of negligence and gross negligence.The lawsuit alleges the driver failed to exercise reasonable care while operating the vehicle and that his actions and inactions “proximately caused” Martha Avila’s death and the family’s injuries and damages. The petition further alleges the driver acted with “reckless disregard for a substantial risk of severe bodily injury,” entitling the family to seek punitive damages. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office previously said investigators found no evidence of a mechanical malfunction. Tesla’s Autopilot director also posted on X that the driver manually overrode the vehicle’s driver-assistance system, reaching a speed of 73 miles per hour before impact.Attorney Chris Adkins with Zehl & Associates is representing the family and said they are still searching for answers.READ MORE: Surveillance video shows Tesla flying through Katy neighborhood before slamming into home, killing 76-year-old woman“They’re really focused on getting to the truth and figuring out what happened and how it happens so they can prevent it from happening to anyone else again,” Adkins said.The lawsuit also accuses Tesla of failing to adequately warn consumers about the limitations of its driver-assistance technology and misleading drivers about the capabilities of Autopilot and Full Self-Driving. It seeks more than $1 million in damages, along with punitive damages. The Barbour family previously told KPRC 2 they are now living out of hotels after the crash left their home unlivable. Jennifer Barbour described her mother as a devoted grandmother who helped care for her children.“My mom was just a blessing to have in our house,” she said.In a statement released after the lawsuit was filed, the family thanked the first responders and medical workers who helped them.“We would like to recognize the efforts of the first responders and the medical professionals who were there to help us during this tragedy,” the family said. “From the men and women with EMS and Life Flight, to the fire crews who had drinks for our family and stuffed animals for the children, your quick response, professionalism, and kindness have been a significant reason that we have been able to deal with this unimaginable situation. Thank you for all that you do to help families like ours during the hardest moments.”The lawsuit demands Tesla preserve all evidence related to the crash, including the vehicle, black box data, Autopilot and Full Self-Driving logs, telemetry, software and firmware versions, sensor and camera data.", "url": "https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2026/06/24/family-of-woman-killed-after-tesla-crashes-into-katy-home-sues-tesla-and-driver/", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fgraham-media-group%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Ff_auto%2Fq_auto%2Fc_thumb%2Cw_700%2Fv1%2Fmedia%2Fvideo%2Fkprc%2F4d804750-4d72-4c09-90f5-2c61a3c3fcba%2Fimage.jpg", "publishDate": "2026-06-24T03:21:24.000Z", "source": "Click2Houston", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Jaewon Jung", "localScore": 30, "category": "safety", "editorialWeight": 100, "editorialTier": "safety", "editorialReason": "crash", "briefingScore": 160, "type": "news" }, { "id": 43, "archiveId": "xlc5h8", "slug": "theyre-leaving-congress-with-nothing-to-lose-spelling-potential-trouble-for-trump", "title": "They're leaving Congress with nothing to lose, spelling potential trouble for Trump", "excerpt": "A trio of Senate Republicans, including Texas' John Cornyn, are on their way out of Congress.

At this time, investigators have found no evidence of a mechanical malfunction. However, it is important to note that the investigation is not complete. Once all evidence has been gathered, the investigative file will be presented to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office to determine whether criminal charges are appropriate.\"Tesla officials say driver manually overrode self-drivingYesterday leaders at Tesla also indicated that the situation appeared to indicate manual action from the driver as opposed to an involuntary crash.Responding to a post reacting to a news article on the crash, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the situation made “no sense” and that their vehicle’s Full-Self-Driving mode automatically drives slowly through neighborhoods.Ashok Elluswamy, the VP of Autopilot and AI Software at Tesla responded to Musk’s comment, adding that the driver had allegedly pushed the car’s accelerator “all the way to 100%” and had continued to press it even after the crash.Surveillance video shows moments before crashSurveillance video obtained by KPRC 2 News shows the Tesla Model 3 speeding down Rose Hollow Lane seconds before the crash. Investigators said the vehicle hit a curb before slamming into a two-story brick home on Blooming Park Lane.READ MORE: Surveillance video shows Tesla flying through Katy neighborhood before slamming into home, killing 76-year-old womanAuthorities said the driver, 44-year-old Michael Butler, told investigators the vehicle was operating in an automated driving mode at the time of the crash. So far, Butler is not facing any charges. The sheriff’s office said he failed to maintain a single lane, left the roadway, and struck the residence. Investigators are still working to determine how fast the vehicle was traveling before impact.Victim remembered as beloved grandmotherThe crash killed 76-year-old Katy resident Martha Avila, who neighbors say was in the front room of her home at the time of impact.

Viewer discretion is advised.Newly released body camera footage from the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office shows the dramatic moments a deputy was shot and wounded during a gunfight with an armed suspect at a Humble-area apartment complex last week.The videos, released Tuesday by Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman, capture the chaotic exchange of gunfire that left two deputies injured after authorities say they were ambushed while responding to reports of a man firing a shotgun.The shooting happened shortly after 10 p.m. on June 19 at the Pavilion at the Groves apartment complex in the 15900 block of Woodland Hills Drive.According to Precinct 4, multiple callers reported a man walking through the complex with a shotgun and firing it. When deputies arrived and located the suspect, authorities said he opened fire on them, striking two deputies.Following the shooting, investigators said the suspect barricaded himself inside an apartment, prompting a lengthy standoff. SWAT teams eventually breached the residence, used technology to locate the suspect and deployed CS gas before he surrendered.Authorities identified the suspect as Edgar Villegas, 38. He remains charged with aggravated assault on a public servant.What Happens in the VideosOne of the newly released videos shows several deputies positioned outside an apartment building near a stairwell with their weapons drawn and flashlights illuminated. Moments later, two gunshots ring out, followed by deputies shouting, “Shots fired!” before a barrage of additional gunfire erupts.A second body camera video, recorded from the perspective of injured Deputy Dante Zepeda, captures the moments leading up to the shooting.In the footage, deputies can be seen standing in an apartment breezeway while discussing the suspect’s location.“Is he at the window?” Zepeda asks.“He’s just in there at this time,” another deputy responds.Seconds later, shots ring out.After the first shot is fired, Zepeda appears to fall forward before quickly getting back to his feet and retreating. Blood can be seen on the pavement as he moves away from the line of fire.The deputy then turns back toward the direction of the shots with his handgun drawn and appears to return fire before seeking cover.As he reaches an area outside the building, blood is visible on his hands and arms.“I’m hit!” Zepeda says in the footage.“Where are you hit?” another deputy asks.“My wrist, my wrist, my wrist, my wrist. Stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding,” Zepeda responds.The video shows another deputy applying a pressure bandage to the wound while rendering aid.Officers InjuredOfficials later determined that Zepeda and a second deputy were struck by shotgun pellets or projectiles during the exchange.Officials later said Zepeda was also struck in the hip and upper arm, though in the immediate aftermath of the shooting he can be heard telling fellow deputies he had been hit in the wrist.He was initially transported by patrol vehicle to Houston Northeast Hospital before being transferred to Memorial Hermann’s surgical trauma center in downtown Houston.Authorities said his injuries were not life-threatening, and the agency announced over the weekend that he had been released from the hospital following successful surgery.The second injured deputy remained on the perimeter until SWAT teams arrived and was later treated and released, according to officials.In social media posts accompanying the footage, Herman said deputies had worked to evacuate residents before the confrontation to keep civilians out of harm’s way.“The attached videos show the dangerous, split-second decisions law enforcement officers face while protecting our community,” Herman wrote. “This incident is a powerful reminder of the bravery and sacrifices made by the men and women who put on the badge every day.”No residents or bystanders were injured during the incident.", "url": "https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2026/06/23/bodycam-footage-released-of-altercation-where-harris-county-pct-4-deputy-was-injured-in-shooting/", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fgraham-media-group%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Ff_auto%2Fq_auto%2Fc_thumb%2Cw_700%2Fv1%2Fmedia%2Fgmg%2FLGAZIYV2MRCN3BQGMFKDGDSAFQ.png", "publishDate": "2026-06-23T17:17:41.000Z", "source": "Click2Houston", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Michael Horton", "localScore": 30, "category": "government", "editorialWeight": 100, "editorialTier": "safety", "editorialReason": "shooting", "briefingScore": 160, "type": "news" }, { "id": 5, "archiveId": "opyzrm", "slug": "harris-county-shooting-4-people-detained-after-a-minor-was-shot-near-bush-intercontinental-airport", "title": "Harris County shooting: 4 people detained after a minor was shot near Bush Intercontinental Airport", "excerpt": "4 people are in custody following a shooting near Bush Intercontinental Airport on Monday afternoon, officials said.", "content": "4 people are in custody following a shooting near Bush Intercontinental Airport on Monday afternoon, officials said.", "url": "https://www.fox26houston.com/news/harris-county-shooting-4-people-detained-after-minor-was-shot-near-bush-intercontinental-airport", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox26houston.com%2Fwww.fox26houston.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Ffm-1960-bypass-road-shootin.jpg", "publishDate": "2026-06-22T22:36:37.000Z", "source": "Fox 26 Houston", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Ronnie.Marley@fox.com (Ronnie Marley)", "localScore": 30, "category": "government", "editorialWeight": 100, "editorialTier": "safety", "editorialReason": "shooting", "briefingScore": 160, "type": "news" }, { "id": 9, "archiveId": "sbzizu", "slug": "deputy-shot-during-gunfight-at-humble-apartment-complex-suspect-taken-into-custody", "title": "Deputy shot during gunfight at Humble apartment complex; suspect taken into custody", "excerpt": "Editor’s note: The body camera footage attached to this article contains graphic scenes from an officer-involved shooting, including visible injuries, blood and strong language.

Deputies have said they came under fire when they arrived, sparking a neighborhood lockdown and a SWAT standoff after the suspect retreated into an apartment.Officials said SWAT later used CS gas to end the standoff, and the suspect eventually surrendered and was taken into custody. Precinct 4 previously said Zepeda’s injuries were not life-threatening and that he was “on the road to a full recovery.”The suspect, Edgar Villegas, remains in custody on a felony charge of aggravated assault on a public servant.

Both court filings list the same apartment address on Kuykendahl Road. View this post on Instagram What investigators say happenedAccording to charging documents, investigators believe Harrington and Fernandez placed a child younger than 15 years old in imminent danger while caring for the child.Court records allege the child was exposed to feces, urine, rotten food, insects and gasoline inside the apartment. Investigators further claim the child was living in an environment where those substances were being inhaled.The filings go on to allege the child suffered insect bites and was not provided adequate hygiene.Investigators also accuse the pair of consuming marijuana and alcohol while caring for the child.Surveillance video shows Tesla flying through Katy neighborhood before slamming into home, killing 76-year-old womanWho are the suspects?Court records do not explain the relationship between the Harrington and Fernandez. The documents also do not identify the child’s relationship to either suspect.It remains unclear whether the child is related to either defendant, how long the child was living at the apartment, or who first reported concerns to authorities.Dog also part of investigationThe same investigation also led to an animal cruelty charge against Harrington.According to a separate criminal complaint, investigators accuse Harrington of failing to provide necessary care for a dog in her custody.Court records allege the dog was not provided adequate amounts of clean water or food, was not given proper hygiene and was confined in a cruel manner.Prosecutors seek restrictionsCourt records show prosecutors have requested several bond conditions for Harrington. Those include no contact with the child identified in the case, random urinalysis testing, restrictions on alcohol and marijuana use, and a prohibition on possessing animals while the case remains pending.Mother arrested after leaving 4-year-old alone in hot vehicle while shopping at CostcoInvestigation ongoingSeveral key questions remain unanswered.The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has not said what prompted the investigation, what deputies found when they arrived at the apartment, or where the child is currently staying.KPRC 2 has reached out to the sheriff’s office seeking additional details, including the relationship between the suspects and the child, how long the child may have been living in those conditions, and whether Child Protective Services is involved in the case.We

Butler showed no signs of intoxication and cooperated with law enforcement, according to the sheriff’s office.The vehicle tore through the home and struck 76-year-old Martha Avila, who was inside.

One neighbor who witnessed the crash said they were having a child’s birthday party when they saw the Tesla speeding through the neighborhood.“We saw a car flying by down the street,” the neighbor said. “All we saw was them going about 60 to 70 miles per hour. Next thing we know, we hear it hit that curb in that driveway and it ran into the house.” Several neighbors reported seeing the vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed before it left the roadway. One witness described the Tesla as appearing to go airborne before crashing into the residence. Another said the driver appeared to be screaming as the vehicle came down the street.The crash has left neighbors shaken and a family grieving.“We are feeling really sorry for their loss,” a neighbor said. “We are just hoping that their kids can get through this because I know that was their grandmother.”In addition to the loss of Avila, the family has been displaced due to the extensive damage to the home. Neighbors said the family is currently staying in a hotel while dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy.Residents also told KPRC 2 they have seen the driver in the neighborhood before, though they were unsure whether he lives in the area.

Bauer told the court that when he visited the property on May 13, no one appeared to be living there. READ MORE: U.S. moves to extradite Harris County murder suspect who fled to Italy, authorities sayWhen he returned Wednesday, however, he found the blinds closed and no trespassing notices posted around the property.“It was shocking,” Bauer testified.According to information provided by the Houston Police Department, officers responded to a trespasser call at the home around 6:20 p.m. Wednesday.Police said a man accompanied by an attorney reported that the residence belonged to his daughter and was tied up in probate proceedings connected to an ongoing murder case. The man told officers he had learned from a neighbor that someone was occupying the property.Officers attempted to contact the person inside the residence and eventually spoke with him through a doorbell camera system, according to HPD. Police said the man refused to come outside, claiming the house belonged to him and stating he would “go to court to prove it.”It’s unclear if anyone was actually inside the residence.HPD said the Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted but referred the matter to the constable’s office because it was considered a civil dispute.No one answered the door when KPRC 2 News knocked and rang the doorbell on Thursday night.Property records obtained by KPRC 2 News show two days after the DA’s office executed a search warrant at the home in May, the property deed was transferred to a Matthew J. Jackson and Save A Life Homes LLC; however, there do not appear to be any Gilley or Bauer signatures on the document. KPRC 2 News has reached out to the company and will update this story if a response is received.The Bauers still own half of the home and said the property hasn’t been sold and no one has been authorized to live there.RELATED: ‘She loved Italy’: Houston murder victim’s friends frustrated over husband Lee Gilley fleeing U.S. ahead of trialThe revelation came during a rehearing before Judge Angela Lancelin, who was asked to reconsider previous orders involving the children of Lee Gilley.Gilley remains in Italy after authorities say he removed his ankle monitor and left the country using a fake name and travel documents while out on a $1 million bond. Attorneys confirmed this week that Italian authorities have received a formal U.S. extradition request seeking his return.Throughout Thursday’s hearing, attorneys for Christa Bauer’s family argued that developments following Gilley’s escape justified additional court restrictions, including pausing their visits with Gilley’s side of the family. Attorneys representing members of the Gilley family argued there was no evidence showing relatives who maintain contact with the children posed a safety threat or had participated in helping Lee Gilley flee.Judge Lancelin questioned whether any new evidence had been presented that would justify changing existing court orders.At one point, the judge emphasized that concerns and speculation were not enough to support modifying prior rulings without evidence directly connecting family members to wrongdoing.In her ruling, the judge noted that the court had not heard evidence showing Lee Gilley’s brother, Matthew Gilley, had threatened the children’s safety or acted in concert with anyone to remove them from their caregivers or from the United States.PREVIOUS: Judge to hear testimony on whether children of accused killer Lee Gilley must return to TexasLancelin also addressed arguments about where the children should live, stating that if the testimony and evidence supported significant safety concerns, the court likely would have followed through with a ruling to return them to Harris County.But Lancelin determined the children can keep living in South Carolina with Bauer’s parents and continue having court-ordered visits with Lee Gilley’s brother and sister-in-law, based on the testimony presented.“There was no evidence to the court that showed Matt Gilley has done anything to threaten the safety of the children or act in concert with others to seek removal of the children,” Lancelin said.The family law case also has a new gag order, which the parties received from Judge Lancelin on Thursday. KPRC 2 News is told the civil order is similar to the gag order in Lee Gilley’s criminal case. The custody case remains ongoing as separate criminal proceedings continue against Lee Gilley, who is awaiting the outcome of extradition proceedings in Italy.No date has been set for his capital murder trial in Harris County.", "url": "https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2026/06/19/man-claims-ownership-of-heights-home-where-lee-gilley-allegedly-murdered-wife-before-fleeing-to-italy/", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fgraham-media-group%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Ff_auto%2Fq_auto%2Fc_thumb%2Cw_700%2Fv1%2Fmedia%2Fvideo%2Fkprc%2F9711ffe9-6266-42ea-bb71-09f07a872dad%2Fimage.jpg", "publishDate": "2026-06-19T01:35:19.000Z", "source": "Click2Houston", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Bryce Newberry, Michael Horton", "localScore": 30, "category": "government", "editorialWeight": 100, "editorialTier": "safety", "editorialReason": "murder", "briefingScore": 160, "type": "news" }, { "id": 18, "archiveId": "ro2qjh", "slug": "three-houston-chefs-recognized-at-2026-james-beard-awards", "title": "Three Houston chefs recognized at 2026 James Beard Awards", "excerpt": "Adrian Torres of Maximo was named Best Emerging Chef, while Evelyn Garcia and Henry Lu of JŪN won the Best Chef in Texas category.", "content": "Adrian Torres of Maximo was named Best Emerging Chef, while Evelyn Garcia and Henry Lu of JŪN won the Best Chef in Texas category.", "url": "https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/arts-culture/food/2026/06/16/554673/restaurant-houston-chef-james-beard-award-2026/?utm_source=rss-food-article&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=hpm-rss-link", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.houstonpublicmedia.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F16090014%2FAdrianTorresMaximo-450x299.jpg", "publishDate": "2026-06-16T14:02:23.000Z", "source": "Houston Public Media", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Adam Zuvanich", "localScore": 10, "category": "local", "editorialWeight": 40, "editorialTier": "community", "editorialReason": "award", "briefingScore": 55, "type": "news" }, { "id": 10, "archiveId": "9st3by", "slug": "ut-austin-leadership-fires-kut-general-manager-debbie-hiott", "title": "UT Austin leadership fires KUT General Manager Debbie Hiott", "excerpt": "The decision was effective immediately, according to Anita L.

The project is inspired in part by the Equal Justice Initiative’s Community Remembrance Project, which works with communities to document and memorialize victims of racial terror lynchings.What Remembrance Park could includeOrganizers have planned eight interconnected spaces that will form the park’s visitor experience. Key features include:Witness Grove — an entry space framed by mature live oaks, benches and a mist fountain designed for visitors to pause and prepare.Memory Pavilion — a sunken sculpture garden on the former site of The Rice Home and Plantation, described as a place to “sit with history before moving through it.”Hush Harbor Gardens — a network of gardens named for secret gathering spaces where enslaved people worshipped and found fellowship, reimagined here as shaded areas with sculpture, seating and water.Remembrance Courtyard — a gateway space anchored by the “REMEMBER” sign, dogwoods and seating.Cypress Grove — a stormwater-collecting depression designed to evoke Buffalo Bayou’s pre-development landscape.Canopy — a structure spanning the site, shifting between shading roof, pergola and overlook pavilion and serving as a canvas for art and interpretive storytelling.Bayou Mirror — a sheet of reflective water intended to connect visitors to the bayou and, when drained for performances, reveal imagery tied to African American faith and resilience.Bayou Overlook and Terraces — switchback walkways leading down to the bayou trail with views back toward downtown.Organizers say the park’s layout is also intended to support the Downtown Houston Public Realm Action Plan, which calls for a more walkable, connected and vibrant downtown.Unveiling detailsEllis’ office said the public presentation will take place at the Harris County Administration Building at 1001 Preston Street on Saturday.

to stand trial this month in Harris County on a capital murder charge stemming from the October 2024 death of his pregnant wife, Christa Bauer. However, authorities say he cut off his ankle monitor while out on bond and used forged travel documents and a false identity to board an international flight to Milan, Italy. Gilley had been released from jail on a $1 million bond before fleeing the country.RELATED: ‘She loved Italy’: Houston murder victim’s friends frustrated over husband Lee Gilley fleeing U.S. ahead of trialDuring a hearing last month, prosecutors said the U.S. Department of Justice had 45 days from May 8 to submit the extradition request to Italian authorities, and at that time, the packet was in the process of being finalized.The Harris County District Attorney’s Office declined further comment Wednesday because of a gag order in the case, so it’s unclear exactly when the paperwork got submitted.It remains unclear what the next steps will be in Italy’s extradition process. No new trial date has been set in Gilley’s capital murder case.Meanwhile, a separate legal battle involving the couple’s children is expected to continue Thursday in Harris County Family Court before Judge Angela Lancelin.Bauer’s parents are fighting an initial decision by Lancelin that would require the children to return to Houston. The children have been living with Bauer’s parents in South Carolina since their mother’s death.PREVIOUS: Judge to hear testimony on whether children of accused killer Lee Gilley must return to TexasAfter Gilley fled to Italy, attorneys representing Bauer’s family sought an emergency order to suspend the children’s monthly visits with Gilley’s brother and sister-in-law. They argued the visits posed potential safety concerns while investigators continue examining how Gilley was able to leave the United States and whether anyone assisted him.In response, Lancelin indicated she wanted the children returned to Houston to eliminate concerns surrounding the visitation arrangement. Attorneys for Bauer’s family countered that returning the children to Texas would not be in their best interest because their mother is dead, their father remains in custody in Italy, and they no longer have family or a home in Houston.Lancelin agreed to hear testimony on the issue and is also expected to consider whether visitation with Gilley’s relatives should continue during Thursday’s hearing.", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fd1mg6ar6hlkkf8.cloudfront.net%2Fkprc%2Fbaaba213-e38a-4e27-96ab-138e6b6a598a%2Fimage.jpg", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Bryce Newberry", "localScore": 30, "editorialWeight": 100, "editorialTier": "safety", "editorialReason": "murder", "briefingScore": 160, "type": "news" }, { "id": 3, "title": "Man charged with murder for allegedly hitting wife with car in SW Houston after night out drinking", "source": "Click2Houston", "category": "safety", "publishDate": "2026-06-17T21:12:17.000Z", "url": "https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2026/06/17/man-charged-with-murder-for-allegedly-hitting-wife-with-car-in-sw-houston-after-night-out-drinking/", "archiveId": "jh8kx8", "slug": "man-charged-with-murder-for-allegedly-hitting-wife-with-car-in-sw-houston-after-night-out-drinking", "excerpt": "A 25-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder after he allegedly ran over his wife with a Dodge Durango early Sunday morning on Bellerive Drive in southwest Houston.Rudolfo Pinon III, 25, is charged with murder and is currently in custody.

As storm threats continue, Texans are urged to stay informed, avoid driving through flooded roadways, and heed all warnings from local officials.", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fgraham-media-group%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Ff_auto%2Fq_auto%2Fc_thumb%2Cw_700%2Fv1%2Fmedia%2Fgmg%2FG3ORH2LV6ZENRLDFSHQP4LRLPY.jpg", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Christian Terry", "localScore": 30, "editorialWeight": 80, "editorialTier": "civic", "editorialReason": "harris county", "briefingScore": 140, "type": "news" }, { "id": 1, "title": "Family dog shot and killed by police officer during Knicks celebration", "source": "ABC13 Houston", "category": "local", "publishDate": "2026-06-15T23:30:09.000Z", "url": "https://abc13.com/story/family-dog-shot-killed-police-officer-during-knicks-celebration/19302852/", "archiveId": "20kunq", "slug": "family-dog-shot-and-killed-by-police-officer-during-knicks-celebration", "excerpt": "A celebration of the New York Knicks' NBA championship turned tragic when police officers responding to a call about a screaming woman shot and killed the family dog.", "content": "A celebration of the New York Knicks' NBA championship turned tragic when police officers responding to a call about a screaming woman shot and killed the family dog.", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.abcotvs.com%2Fdip%2Fimages%2F19299421_061426-KABC-CANOGA-PARK-DOG-OISTN-IMG.jpg", "sourceType": "news", "author": "ABC13 Houston", "localScore": 50, "editorialWeight": 100, "editorialTier": "safety", "editorialReason": "police", "briefingScore": 180, "type": "news" }, { "id": 3, "title": "Man killed after fight at party escalates into shooting in west Harris County, deputies say", "source": "ABC13 Houston", "category": "government", "publishDate": "2026-06-15T20:40:29.000Z", "url": "https://abc13.com/post/man-killed-fight-party-escalates-shooting-west-harris-county-deputies-say/19301565/", "archiveId": "2b12k3", "slug": "man-killed-after-fight-at-party-escalates-into-shooting-in-west-harris-county-deputies-say", "excerpt": "HCSO detectives said a party was underway when a large fight broke out among several individuals, including the man killed and the shooter.", "content": "HCSO detectives said a party was underway when a large fight broke out among several individuals, including the man killed and the shooter.", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.abcotvs.com%2Fdip%2Fimages%2F12383497_102622-ktrk-ewn-10pm-dhu-harris-county-crime-data-irios-vid.jpg%3Fw%3D1600", "sourceType": "news", "author": "KTRK", "localScore": 30, "editorialWeight": 100, "editorialTier": "safety", "editorialReason": "shooting", "briefingScore": 160, "type": "news" }, { "id": 3, "title": "High water locations reported around Houston-area, Harris County", "source": "Fox 26 Houston", "category": "government", "publishDate": "2026-06-15T17:54:43.000Z", "url": "https://www.fox26houston.com/news/high-water-locations-houston", "archiveId": "ym2ecw", "slug": "high-water-locations-reported-around-houston-area-harris-county", "excerpt": "Heavy rainfall is causing local street flooding in areas around Houston on Monday.

He crowed about merchandise sales and streaming service subscriptions and how UFC surpassed its goals in every metric he could list at a news conference that stretched well into the dawn's early light Monday.And the setting?Forget it, almost impossible to top on a night when fighters essentially treated their walkouts like they were kids on a class trip. The all-male lineup toured the West Wing, the Oval Office, walked past presidential portraits, through the Roosevelt Room, the Cabinet Room — and the winners even got a meet-and-greet with Trump.Gaethje skimmed the copy of the Declaration of Independence that hangs in the Oval Office and said a prayer before he made the unusually long walk to the cage. Gaethje battered Spanish-Georgian fighter Ilia Topuria in the main event and won the UFC lightweight title.“Usually, I kind of blank out when it comes to getting ready to walk to the cage,” Gaethje said. “It was pretty crazy, looking at the Declaration of Independence. The original one. Their language was different. I'm not smart enough to read that.”Gaethje also banked a whopping $825,000 in bonus money for winning “Performance of the Night” and “Fight of the Night” honors.Trump stayed until the end of the seven-card show and generally seemed engaged with the fights — at one point he put on a white “USA” baseball cap — and certainly was all smiles each time a fighter who had a hand raised in victory then used it on a handshake with the president.Trump boasted on Truth Social the night was “PERFECT!”There were few blips on the big night and the blemishes that did happen were at the expense of UFC's two more problematic fighters.UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland was escorted out of the Ellipse watch party attended by thousands more fans by a group of police officers. Heavyweight Josh Hokit took it further with an extraordinary and unfounded attack based on a right-wing conspiracy theory about former first lady Michelle Obama.For all the hand-wringing ahead of the card, the show delivered on the star-spangled smackdown that featured pulsating patriotism from the Marine Band, tributes to first responders, active military and other White House-designated heroes. Gaethje and Ciryl Gane were crowned champions inside a blood-splattered eight-sided cage plopped in the open air right in the people's house backyard on the South Lawn.Blood and guts were a mandate before an American fighter wrapped himself in the flag.“Hopefully tonight created some unity,” White said as he put on his hyperbolic promoter's hat. “Even for the people that thought this was going to be some big political statement or something, this wasn't. This was Americans, all Americans celebrating the birthday. For people who tuned in for the first time, because it was at the White House, hopefully they liked the sport. They liked some of the guys' stories.”So maybe some new fans stick around.After all, International Fight Week is right around the corner, with UFC 329 set to mark the return after a five-year break of the company's biggest box office draw, Conor McGregor.That fight will be held in a more traditional arena back on UFC's home turf in Las Vegas, just as they will for years to come.But despite all the pomp and pageantry, the eyerolls and angst, White stands by his claim that UFC is one-and-done in D.C.The constant headaches over weather concerns in the rare outdoors show, the logistics of construction of the cage and staging events at federal landmarks and the soaring cost — UFC said it was footing the $60 million tab — made Freedom 250 a one-off for a company once dubbed “human cockfighting.\"“I can’t afford it,\" White said. \"I’ll never do the Sphere again and we’ll never do this again.”___AP MMA: https://apnews.com/hub/mixed-martial-arts", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fgraham-media-group%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Ff_auto%2Fq_auto%2Fc_thumb%2Cw_700%2Fv1%2Fmedia%2Fgmg%2FS6MH36PKIVEGZCMYHX5C3S3AVI.jpg", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Dan Gelston, Associated Press", "localScore": 50, "editorialWeight": 10, "editorialTier": "general", "editorialReason": null, "briefingScore": 90, "type": "news" }, { "id": 14, "title": "Canes to celebrate Stanley Cup victory Saturday in Raleigh", "source": "Fox 26 Houston", "category": "local", "publishDate": "2026-06-15T14:52:41.000Z", "url": "https://www.fox26houston.com/news/canes-celebrate-stanley-cup-victory-saturday-raleigh", "archiveId": "fb8z7q", "slug": "canes-to-celebrate-stanley-cup-victory-saturday-in-raleigh", "excerpt": "The Carolina Hurricanes are waking up as Stanley Cup champions for the first time since 2006, after a 3-0 shutout in Game 6 over the Vegas Golden Knights, sealing a dominant 16-3 postseason run to return the Cup to Carolina.", "content": "The Carolina Hurricanes are waking up as Stanley Cup champions for the first time since 2006, after a 3-0 shutout in Game 6 over the Vegas Golden Knights, sealing a dominant 16-3 postseason run to return the Cup to Carolina.", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fgettyimages-2281624592-scaled.jpg", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Jason.Gunn@fox.com (Jason Gunn)", "localScore": 50, "editorialWeight": 10, "editorialTier": "general", "editorialReason": null, "briefingScore": 90, "type": "news" }, { "id": 49, "title": "Houston’s World Cup officials want to make the city more walkable.

Major was originally arrested on a forgery charge in 2024 after scheming grieving families out of funeral services. Last week, he was sentenced to two years in prison after being found to have an illegal drug and for providing funeral services not approved by the court.KPRC 2 News reporter Corley Peel spoke with one of the families Major allegedly targeted and has been following Major’s activities for more than a year.RELATED: ‘His body was bloated’: Man posed as funeral director, mortician, allegedly stole life insurance money of dead peopleShauntayvia Banks learned her father passed away in a Beaumont prison on Thanksgiving Day 2025. Shortly after posting about his death on Instagram, she says Major sent her a direct message portraying himself as a funeral home director.“He presented me funeral home packages that he could provide. He also made it seem as though he was incarcerated with my father — that he knew my father,” Banks said.Banks says her concerns grew quickly. Her family was repeatedly denied requests to view her father’s body, which she suspected was improperly embalmed. Jewelry went missing. Payments and cremation arrangements were unclear. Ultimately, Banks says she paid about $5,600.Today, she is not even sure the ashes she received belong to her father.RELATED: ‘I wanted to bring my dad home’: Daughter says man who posed as funeral director tried to scam her back in 2022“It’s very hard to even know if it is, in fact, my dad’s ashes — just based upon how everything went,” Banks said.Court records show Major was not supposed to be involved in any type of funeral work following his 2024 forgery arrest. Despite that restriction, investigators say he continued targeting families.Banks is hoping her story serves as a warning to others and encourages anyone who dealt with Major to speak up.“If anyone else has experienced something with him, that they do come forward and feel safe coming forward,” Banks said.Banks says she does not feel two years in prison is long enough.Experts recommend several steps to protect yourself from funeral fraud. Consumers can verify whether a funeral home is licensed through the Texas Funeral Service Commission website. Additional precautions include searching for complaints online, asking for a detailed General Price List upfront and being cautious of businesses that refuse to provide licensing information, lack a physical address or request large payments without documentation.Constable Alan Rosen’s office is asking anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Major to contact them at (713) 755-5200",

Elsewhere, users will get to see parts of matches live on YouTube and TikTok for the first time. Forget about the exclusivity of traditional over-the-air networks: The World Cup will be watched differently this time.As FIFA pushes to engage a new generation of fans, younger audiences will have more options to access soccer’s showcase event thanks to what soccer's governing body describes as a record number of deals with broadcast partners that carry digital-only platforms. Creators’ perspectives will be brought to the forefront and user experiences worldwide will be enhanced thanks to what FIFA is calling “game-changing” partnerships.The goal is to grab viewers' attention, effectively giving them an appetizer that will encourage them to go back and watch the games on traditional channels.Co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada, this year's World Cup — the biggest ever, with 48 teams — begins Thursday and will run through July 19.Brazil’s CazéTV has the rights to all gamesBrazil historically has been one of the countries with the most engagement on social media and digital platforms.FIFA took notice, and four years ago did a type of a test run with popular streamer Casimiro Miguel, now 32, who had shown success engaging with younger sports fans on his Twitch channel. For the 2022 Qatar World Cup, FIFA reached a deal with him — and his partner LiveMode — to broadcast 22 matches on the CazéTV YouTube channel.With a more informal and conversational approach to the broadcast, along with increased fan engagement and the participation of content creators as commentators, the trial was considered a resounding success. It led to an expanded deal for the tournament this year, with CazéTV becoming the only channel — digital or traditional — with rights to all 104 games in Brazil. The network Globo, the home of soccer in Brazil for decades, will show 55 games.“FIFA is always looking at innovative ways about how to enhance the broadcast coverage of our flagship competitions and the deal with CazéTV is an example of such, which will ensure football fans in Brazil will be able to watch all 104 games, while also helping to reach new audiences and demographics,” the governing body told The Associated Press in a statement.A Cristiano Ronaldo connectionLiveMode, the Brazilian company that has CazéTV under its umbrella and broadcasts matches with content creators, announced last month that it had launched an international broadcast arm of the company and that Cristiano Ronaldo was one of its shareholders.LiveMode's channel in Portugal will broadcast one game per day during the World Cup, including all of Portugal's matches and the final. The 41-year-old Ronaldo, one of soccer's all-time greats, is making his sixth World Cup appearance with the national team.“There is an audience that connects with digital first, and digital allows us to bring this new audience to follow major sporting events,” LiveMode co-founder Sergio Lopes told the AP. “Generally, this audience is younger and doesn’t just want to watch a match. They want to participate in the conversation, interact in real time, and feel like they are part of a community.”YouTube and TikTok dealsFIFA earlier this year picked TikTok as the first “preferred platform” for video content on social media at the World Cup, giving creators access to content. World Cup broadcast rights holders can livestream parts of the 104 games at a dedicated hub on the TikTok app. Then in March, FIFA reached a deal with YouTube to also allow rights-holding broadcasters to stream game action live on the video platform. Rights holders will be allowed to broadcast the first 10 minutes of games. “YouTube is where global sports fans tune in before, during, and after the game. That is what makes our preferred partnership with FIFA for World Cup 2026 so unique,” said Angela Courtin, YouTube's vice president of entertainment and sports marketing. “Between the incredible reach of our creator cohort and providing FIFA’s media partners with a pathway to upload more premium content to their YouTube channels, plus our live YouTube FIFA Creator Cup in New York City this July, we are ushering in the next generation of soccer fans for years to come.” Taking aim at world recordsWith the new deals, FIFA expects the 2026 World Cup to break all records related to digital and streaming audiences.In 2022, FIFA reported 5 billion total engagements during the tournament in Qatar, with 2.7 billion coming through digital and streaming services, and 2.9 from linear television. Nearly 1.5 billion people watched the final won by Argentina, with 237 million of them being digital-only viewers, according to FIFA.In the U.S., Fox holds the rights for the 2026 World Cup, and there were no exclusive deals by FIFA with digital platforms, though the network will have every match streaming live and on-demand within its apps. Streaming giant Netflix has secured the U.S. broadcasting rights to the Women’s World Cup in 2027 and 2031, in the most significant deal FIFA has signed with a streaming service for a major tournament. “We are seeing that sport needs to occupy all screens, engage with all audiences to grow,” LiveModeTV co-founder Lopes said. “New audiences expect authenticity, interaction and different ways to follow an event. The World Cup continues to be the greatest sporting spectacle on the planet, but the way to experience it is also becoming more social, more participatory, more accessible, and more connected to the digital habits of each generation.”___AP World Cup coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/fifa-world-cup", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fres.cloudinary.com%2Fgraham-media-group%2Fimage%2Fupload%2Ff_auto%2Fq_auto%2Fc_thumb%2Cw_700%2Fv1%2Fmedia%2Fgmg%2FSR3OQWC2CFBWPKRFKXOX2SBQMM.jpg", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Tales Azzoni, Associated Press", "localScore": 50, "editorialWeight": 10, "editorialTier": "general", "editorialReason": null, "briefingScore": 90, "type": "news" }, { "id": 44, "title": "Weeks before Texas screwworm cases, state lawmakers were warned of devastating consequences", "source": "Houston Public Media", "category": "local", "publishDate": "2026-06-10T16:06:35.000Z", "url": "https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/energy-environment/animals/2026/06/10/554134/texas-new-world-screwworm-lawmakers-legislature-livestock/?utm_source=rss-animals-article&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=hpm-rss-link", "archiveId": "t9w8hj", "slug": "weeks-before-texas-screwworm-cases-state-lawmakers-were-warned-of-devastating-consequences", "excerpt": "State officials and researchers warned Texas lawmakers in May that New World screwworm was advancing toward the state and could carry a billion-dollar economic toll.", "content": "State officials and researchers warned Texas lawmakers in May that New World screwworm was advancing toward the state and could carry a billion-dollar economic toll.", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.houstonpublicmedia.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F10105802%2Fnws-pupae-copeg-450x287.webp", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Lucio Vasquez, Texas Newsroom", "localScore": 10, "editorialWeight": 10, "editorialTier": "general", "editorialReason": null, "briefingScore": 25, "type": "news" }, { "id": 4, "title": "Man shot to death during argument with roommates in NW Harris County, HCSO says", "source": "ABC13 Houston", "category": "government", "publishDate": "2026-06-10T14:21:56.000Z", "url": "https://abc13.com/post/man-detained-allegedly-shooting-former-roommate-death-little-york-northwest-harris-county-sheriff-says/19266082/", "archiveId": "7auv31", "slug": "man-shot-to-death-during-argument-with-roommates-in-nw-harris-county-hcso-says", "excerpt": "Deputies said the man lives at the apartment and was involved in a fight with two of his roommates, which then escalated to him being shot.", "content": "Deputies said the man lives at the apartment and was involved in a fight with two of his roommates, which then escalated to him being shot.", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.abcotvs.com%2Fdip%2Fimages%2F19266173_060926-ktrk-west-little-york-fatal-shooting-img.png%3Fw%3D1600", "sourceType": "news", "author": "KTRK", "localScore": 30, "editorialWeight": 80, "editorialTier": "civic", "editorialReason": "harris county", "briefingScore": 140, "type": "news" }, { "id": 12, "title": "Brazoria County sheriff fires deputy who shot and killed teenager", "source": "Houston Public Media", "category": "safety", "publishDate": "2026-06-10T14:16:42.000Z", "url": "https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/2026/06/10/554127/brazoria-county-deputy-fired-police-shooting-john-mendoza/?utm_source=rss-local-article&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=hpm-rss-link", "archiveId": "45hdbk", "slug": "brazoria-county-sheriff-fires-deputy-who-shot-and-killed-teenager", "excerpt": "An investigation into the June 1 fatal shooting of John Mendoza Jr., 18, remains ongoing.", "content": "An investigation into the June 1 fatal shooting of John Mendoza Jr., 18, remains ongoing.", "image": "https://springnews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.houstonpublicmedia.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F04135714%2FJohnMendozaJrCROPPED-450x363.jpg", "sourceType": "news", "author": "Adam Zuvanich", "localScore": 10, "editorialWeight": 100, "editorialTier": "safety", "editorialReason": "fire", "briefingScore": 115, "type": "news" }, { "id": 45, "title": "Texas rule targeting smokable hemp is back in effect, but enforcement is unclear", "source": "Houston Public Media", "category": "business", "publishDate": "2026-06-10T13:43:51.000Z", "url": "https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/business/2026/06/10/554121/austin-tx-hemp-cannabis-marijuana-court-appeals-decisin/?utm_source=rss-business-article&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=hpm-rss-link", "archiveId": "7u8i63", "slug": "texas-rule-targeting-smokable-hemp-is-back-in-effect-but-enforcement-is-unclear", "excerpt": "The Texas Fifteenth Court of Appeals has cleared the way for new Department of State Health Services rules governing hemp products to take effect again, including higher fees for businesses and limits on the sale of THCA flower and concentrates.
