Today's riddle: What did the Buffalo say when his son left? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Partner arrested after 33-year-old fatally stabbed during altercation at City Heights home (nbcsandiego.com) — San Diego police are investigating a fatal stabbing at a City Heights home where a 33-year-old man died and his domestic partner was arrested on suspicion of murder. Their young child was located safely through San Diego Unified School Police, and detectives are asking anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers. The case remains active as authorities notify the victim's family and review what led to the deadly argument.
2. San Diego-Tijuana border crossings can't keep up with growth, tourism official says (wkrg.com) — If you're stuck in San Ysidro or Otay Mesa border lines, a Tijuana tourism leader says you're feeling the effects of growth that has outpaced San Diego–Tijuana ports of entry. He argues current crossings can't keep up, even fully staffed, and that relief may not come until the tolled Otay Mesa East port opens in 2027. In the meantime, long waits are becoming daily life for cross-border commuters.
3. SD County Sheriff's Office Cracks Down on Alcohol Sales to Minors (nbcsandiego.com) — San Diego County sheriff's deputies recently ran decoy stings in Santee, Lakeside, and Encinitas, citing two adults for providing alcohol to minors. Backed by a new $100,000 state grant, the Sheriff's Office is ramping up checks on ABC-licensed businesses and urging residents to report problem liquor sellers.
4. Padres vs Twins Prediction 8/23/26 MLB Picks Today (sportschatplace.com) — The San Diego Padres host the Minnesota Twins at Petco Park this afternoon, with oddsmakers favoring the Padres behind starter Walker Buehler. With both teams swinging the bats well and recent matchups trending high-scoring, the preview leans toward betting the over on total runs rather than picking a side.
5. Kids keep getting hurt and killed on e-bikes. Should parents be held responsible? (post-gazette.com subscription) — As e-bike crashes involving kids rise nationwide, experts including a UC San Diego physician and the San Diego County Bike Coalition are weighing how to balance safety with mobility.

San Diego-area parents also share how they're trying to keep their kids safe while still letting them ride.
