Houston store clerk killed: 4 teen suspects charged in shooting death of convenience store worker Steven Mendoza De Luna, HPD says
SUMMARY: Four teenagers in Houston are facing capital murder charges for a deadly robbery at a convenience store. The suspects, aged 14 and 16, shot and killed 42-year-old store clerk Steven Mendoza De Luna during the robbery. The incident occurred on March 20, with three suspects entering the store and attempting to rob it. The suspects fled the scene in a vehicle after the shooting.

Flies in Texas: Are there more right now and why?
SUMMARY: In Texas, residents have observed an unusual rise in fly populations, particularly exacerbated in recent years. The phenomenon, discussed by Central Texans on Reddit, aligns with insights from Texas AgriLife Entomologist Wizzie Brown. She explains that the state's warm climate supports year-round fly activity, with heat accelerating their life cycle, leading to rapid population growth. Climate change is likely worsening the issue, as higher temperatures benefit flies and expand their habitable areas. To manage the infestation, Brown suggests regular trash removal, using outdoor garbage bins, and cleaning these bins with dish soap to eliminate fly-attracting odors.
