Good day, neighbors! It's me again, Brad King, your host of the Toledo Daily.
First, today's weather:
A shower and t-storm; breezy. High: 72 Low: 49.
Here are the top five stories in Toledo today:
- The Toledo City Council will vote whether to approve a $278,000 settlement to Kelly Molter, who was injured in a crash with a Toledo Police cruiser driven by Officer Nicole Tucker in January 2019. Molter's lawsuit has been pending since 2019 and is expected to be dropped if the settlement is approved. (WTOL)

- 61-year-old Daniel Torres, who was shot to death Sunday, may not have been the intended target according to his family. Torres' death may be related to a Sept. 2021 homicide in which his nephew's son, Nicholas Deluca, was murdered outside of Western Mart in South Toledo. (WTVG)
