2. Trial underway for 1 of 4 suspects charged in murder of Ashtabula man (cleveland19.com) — A jury in Lake County has begun hearing the case against one of four people charged in the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old man in downtown Painesville last summer. The trial, related charges for three other defendants, and an upcoming sentencing keep this high-profile case closely tied to the Painesville community.

Bright green fireball meteor streaks over Northeast Ohio, Great Lakes region (cleveland.com) — Painesville residents were among hundreds across Northeast Ohio who spotted a vivid blue‑green fireball streaking across the sky late Monday night. The meteor, visible around 10:42 p.m., was reported from many Great Lakes communities, and early data suggests it crossed northern Ohio toward Michigan, though no sonic booms or meteorite finds have been confirmed yet.
