• Brooklyn Park Police Seek Public Assistance to Locate Missing 15-Year-Old Girl (town.news) — Brooklyn Park police are urgently asking residents for help finding 15-year-old March'e Linda Lashawn Myers, who disappeared after a weekend visit to Minneapolis and whose phone last pinged near Irving Avenue North. Investigators are treating this as an active missing-person case and want anyone in Brooklyn Park or Minneapolis with information to call 763-493-8222 or contact emergency dispatch immediately.
• DEA judge orders cannabis rescheduling transcript corrections (Newsletter: August 24, 2026) (marijuanamoment.net) — Brooklyn Park's City Council has approved a market-feasibility study on creating a city-run marijuana dispensary, a move that could eventually shape how local residents buy cannabis. The decision comes as governments nationwide react to federal rescheduling efforts, new state rules, and lawsuits over hemp and marijuana markets, signaling that Brooklyn Park is exploring a more hands-on role in cannabis sales.
• District 279 stars reunite at Hamline men's soccer (hometownsource.com) — Several former Osseo and Park Center soccer standouts with Brooklyn Park ties are now teammates at Hamline University, leaning on long-time friendships and local coaching connections to thrive in college soccer. Players Beniam Makonnen, Titus Lee, and Johanso Camacho, along with assistant coach Kalvan Lee, say their shared north metro roots make the transition easier and help them mentor out-of-state teammates as they open the new season Sept. 2.
