Hello, everybody! It's me, Dominique-Noelle Rafael, your host of the Reno Daily — here to impart everything you need to know about what's happening locally. Here we go.

First, today's weather:

Increasingly windy. High: 75 Low: 53.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Reno who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Reno Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Reno today:

  1. The sole occupant of a vehicle is dead after a rollover on I-80 eastbound. According to police, the crash took place early Thursday morning and involved a black GM pickup. The crash occurred at the west McCarran on-ramp, and the second travel lane on the ramp was closed while Nevada DOT repaired the guard rail. (KRNV)
  2. A man suspected of robbery was killed by a resident of the robbery location on Wednesday. Police were called to the home at 2:12 p.m. after the resident called the police to report the shooting. The home was near Warren Way and Moana Lane. Detectives are investigating the incident, but no information is available as of Thursday afternoon. (Reno Gazette Journal)
  3. One student was arrested on Wednesday after a possible threat was made at Doral Academy. Principal Angela Orr informed parents and families of the event and Washoe County Sheriffs ensured the scene was safe. No weapons were found on campus. (KRNV)
