Today's riddle: Why do fish live in salt water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Black Grandmother Missing, Family Gets Suspicious Texts From Her Phone (binnews.com) — A 63‑year‑old visitor from New York vanished after heading to a CVS near Paradise Road and Harmon Avenue, and her family is now getting unsettling money and Bitcoin requests from her phone. Relatives have rushed to Las Vegas, checked hospitals and jails, and are pleading with anyone who was in that Paradise-area corridor on or after August 8 to contact police with tips.
• Raiders Training Camp Report 22: Takeaways & Lessons From Joint Practice (kansas.com) — Paradise fans just saw the Raiders' young core on display at Allegiant Stadium, and coaches say that work is already paying off during joint practices in Houston. Rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, veterans like Kirk Cousins, and a youth-heavy defense are all getting tested against top competition as the team gauges where it stands heading into the season.
• Tupac Shakur Murder Trial Rocked By Nearby Shooting (theblast.com) — A high-profile murder trial tied to Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing in Paradise is underway in downtown Las Vegas, and it briefly intersected with reports of gunfire at a nearby Starbucks where no victims were found. Prosecutors argue Duane "Keefe D" Davis orchestrated the drive‑by near the Strip, while he maintains his innocence as jurors finally weigh evidence in the decades‑old case.
