Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 911 call reveals new details on fatal hit-and-run crash in Deerfield Beach as BSO continues search for driver (wsvn.com) — Detectives are searching for the driver who fatally struck bicyclist Lacurtis Knight along Northeast 44th Street in Deerfield Beach, then allegedly checked on him and drove away. His body was later found miles south in Pompano Beach, and investigators are still trying to understand how it got there. Anyone with information is urged to contact Broward County Crime Stoppers anonymously.
• Remembering 9/11: Several hijackers were living in South Florida communities (wsvn.com) — A 25‑year look back at 9/11 reveals how several hijackers quietly lived and moved through South Florida, including a motel and later‑rebranded hotel in Deerfield Beach. Reporters retrace their time in local apartments, gyms, bars, and flight schools that once seemed ordinary. The story reflects on how unsuspecting residents later learned they had crossed paths with key attackers.
• A Toolbox for Business (lmgfl.com) — Deerfield Beach businesses are highlighted as part of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber's wider Broward County reach, giving local owners access to networking, policy updates, and practical resources. The new chamber chair is pushing members to use targeted programs, from healthcare cost discussions to leadership development, so smaller firms and younger professionals can build stronger regional connections and influence.
