Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Houston police investigating after 2 people were found dead in Northside/Northline area (fox26houston.com) — Houston police are investigating after two people were found dead Monday evening at a home near Downey Street and Little York Road in the Northside/Northline area. Officers received a call just before 5:15 p.m. and are still working to determine what happened, with no information yet released about the victims or how they died.
2. HPD investigated shooting at Garden Oaks apartments days before fiery standoff that left stabbing suspect, father dead (click2houston.com) — A deadly standoff at the Garden Oaks Village Apartments in Houston left a 20-year-old stabbing suspect and his disabled father dead after a fire and apparent gunshot. Police say the same complex saw a shooting just days earlier, and several neighboring units were damaged, forcing four families to relocate while the surviving brother recovers in stable condition.
3. Washington Welcomes Venezuela to G20 Energy Summit in Houston (energynews.pro) — Global energy ministers, including a high-level Venezuelan delegation, are meeting in Houston this week for a G20 summit focused on "energy abundance" and cooperation amid war-driven price spikes. While the talks center on international oil strategy and U.S.–Venezuela relations, they also underscore Houston's central role in global energy decisions that can influence fuel prices and investment in the region.
4. Immigration Slowdown Pressures Apartment And Retail Demand Across Sun Belt (globest.com) — Tighter federal immigration policies are beginning to slow population growth in Houston-area communities like Gulfton and across Harris County, which recently saw growth slip below 1%. For local renters, landlords, and retailers, that shift could mean softer apartment demand, fewer workers, and weaker neighborhood spending, especially in immigrant-heavy parts of the metro.
