First, today's weather:

Some sun, then turning cloudy. High: 93 Low: 72.

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

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our San Antonio 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 stories today in San Antonio:

  1. On Monday, June 27, "a city worker heard a cry for help from a truck on a remote back road in San Antonio and discovered a gruesome scene." When police arrived, they found 46 dead people and 16 survivors, who were taken to the hospital. According to Police Chief William McManus, "three people were taken into custody, but it was not immediately clear if they were connected with human trafficking." Roberto Velasco Álvarez, head of the North America department in Mexico's Foreign Relations Department, tweeted, "Our condolences. All responsible will be brought to justice." (San Antonio Patch)

On Friday, July 1, 31 individuals "from the Southwest School of Art (SSA)" will bring their respective areas of expertise" to UTSA "and help facilitate a seamless transition to expand arts education for our region" as new employees. Veronica Salazar, UTSA chief financial officer and senior vice president for business affairs, said, "We are thrilled to partner with our new colleagues from SSA as they join the UTSA familia." She added, "Together, our teams will work collaboratively to ensure a successful transition for our growing downtown community." (UTSA)
