Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. How much did Rockstar pay Miami-Dade for the sign? (gamepur.com) — Miami-Dade leaders quietly approved Rockstar's $975,000 deal to keep a huge "Welcome to Vice City" sign on the Kaseya Center, with the money earmarked for upgrades at downtown's Dan Paul Plaza. Commissioners are now debating whether the mayor sidestepped a public vote and how future GTA 6 promotions, from county parks to a proposed Miami International "Vice City Airport," should be handled.
2. Man Detained After Firing Shots Outside Miami Airport Terminal (vinnews.com) — Authorities say a man fired several shots into the ground or a trash can just outside Miami International Airport's entrance Wednesday afternoon, briefly shutting departure lanes and parts of the outer roadway. Miami-Dade deputies quickly detained him, confirmed there was no active shooter, and reopened the affected areas with no injuries to travelers or staff.
3. Tennessee family says their Miami vacation started with a shooting at MIA (wsvn.com) — A Tennessee family's arrival at Miami International Airport turned terrifying Wednesday when they heard several gunshots near the arrivals area and sheltered behind a police cruiser with their young children. Deputies quickly responded, comforted the shaken family, and the visitors are now safely at their Miami hotel preparing to continue their vacation and board a cruise.
4. NTSB News Talk: Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 Crash Update — 120-Knot Go-Around Attempt & More Accidents (avbrief.com) — Investigators have released new details on the Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 crash in Miami, revealing a late go-around attempt at 120 knots with no speedbrakes or thrust reversers deployed. An aviation podcast breaks down the cockpit voice recorder timeline, possible automation issues, and lessons from several other recent crashes around the country.
5. Defendant in Haiti president's killing is in custody in Canada awaiting extradition (miamiherald.com) — Federal prosecutors say several defendants in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse are now in U.S. custody in Miami, with key suspects flown in on a military transport. As one newly indicted aide awaits extradition from Canada, a Haitian-American pastor based in South Florida is pushing to delay his Miami trial, arguing the expanded indictment came too close to jury selection.
