Here are the top 3 stories in Reno today:

1. The U.S. National Weather Service has advised residents of Reno to watch out for the possibility of freezing fog during the nighttime hours the rest of this week. After a snowy and unsettled weekend, the week ahead will be much milder with very cold temperatures and gusty ridge winds. Watch for hazy urban conditions through Friday.

2. Reno police arrested two people in connection with a murder last April. Marcos Avalos succumbed to his gunshot injuries in April 2021, and police have worked to close the case since. On Tuesday, officers arrested 26-year-olds Cristian A. Barcenas and Daniel Mendez on the charge of open murder with a deadly weapon. (KOLO)
3. Washoe County manager Eric Brown received a 10 percent raise after a positive annual review by the Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday, according to officials. Brown was rated by a panel of 21 individuals working for the county and outside the Board and received a perfect score of 100 for effective leadership, high personal standard and integrity, and effective communication. Under Brown's leadership, Washoe ended the 2022 fiscal year under budget with a $12 million fund balance. (This Is Reno)
