Here are the top three stories today in Dallas:

1. The Dallas International Guitar Festival (DIGF) is officially returning to Market Hall from Friday, May 5 to Sunday, May 7. This event is known as the world's largest and oldest guitar show and will feature various live performances from over 60 local, regional, and national artists. There will be continuous music throughout the festival and guests will have access to ample free parking. (Focusdailynews)
2. On Monday, Apr. 3, Dallas police arrested and charged a man with murder after a woman was killed in a shooting that evening. Once officers responded to a report at Dallas' Asian Trade District on Royal Lane, they found 53-year-old Chong Sun Wargny had been shot and later pronounced dead at the hospital. Investigators claim that 62-year-old Wan Cho shot at the victim following an argument and while witnesses were trying to detain him until law enforcement arrived, he continued to fire shots at bystanders.

3. St. Luke Community United Methodist Church is celebrating its 90-year history by continuing its pandemic tradition of Easter in the Park. This weekend, the congregation, along with community members, will gather at Klyde Warren Park at 10:00 a.m. to partake in a worship experience, various activities, an Easter egg hunt, and more.
