• Man arrested for first degree murder; LCSO releases no other details (tallahassee.com) — Leon County deputies have arrested 29-year-old Luis Olla-Hernandez on a first-degree murder charge tied to a homicide in southwest Leon County, but are releasing almost no details about the case. The Sheriff’s Office hasn’t shared information about the victim, location, or motive, and suggests a new victims’ rights law may be prompting tighter limits on crime details compared with Tallahassee Police’s usual disclosures. 
• Florida A&M football talks final scrimmage of preseason (wctv.tv) — Florida A&M wrapped up its final preseason scrimmage at Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee, closing fall camp as Week One approaches. New head coach Quinn Gray says the scrimmage helped finalize depth chart decisions, and the Rattlers now turn their focus to opening at home next Saturday night against Albany State.
