SUMMARY: A 16-year-old boy, Cooper Root, died after allegedly overdosing on fentanyl. Omarion Bailey, 24, is facing a charge of fentanyl murder by delivery for allegedly supplying the drug to the teenager. This charge is a result of a new state law that creates a criminal offense of murder for supplying fentanyl that results in death. This is the second case in Harris County where this charge has been used. Cooper’s family described him as a “true light in the world” with a great sense of humor and a goal of becoming a counselor to help others. Bailey is due in court for the first time on Friday.

SUMMARY: Since Austin adopted its fireworks ordinance, the storage, use, and handling of fireworks within city limits became illegal. Initially, the Austin Fire Department (AFD) managed compliance, deploying engine and truck companies to reported violations. However, this approach burdened the emergency response system and 911 dispatchers. In the late 90s, the city shifted to a 311 hotline for reporting non-emergency violations, transitioning responsibility to the Austin Police Department (APD). Despite this change, AFD maintains a street presence, and the Fire Marshal's Office continues to issue citations and prosecute those responsible for fires caused by fireworks.
