Today's riddle: I'm a rock group with 4 members; one member was assassinated. What am I? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Argument At Notorious Cheyenne Motel Escalates To Death Threats With Knife (cowboystatedaily.com) — A confrontation at Cheyenne's Big Horn Motel turned serious when a 61‑year‑old resident allegedly fetched a knife, forced his way into a neighboring room, and threatened to kill three people. Cheyenne police arrested him on an aggravated assault and battery charge, and the case now moves toward a Sept. 17 preliminary hearing while the motel's troubled history with violence draws renewed attention.
2. Argument With Maintenance Worker Leads to Arrest in Cheyenne (news-usa.today) — A maintenance request at a Cheyenne extended‑stay motel reportedly escalated into a knife threat and explicit death threats, prompting a swift response from local police and county officials. While investigators pursue felony charges, the incident is used to highlight the growing safety pressures and frequent disputes at long‑term motels that often serve as last‑resort housing for vulnerable residents.
3. Google office building gets Laramie County OK, will support Project Tembo data center (capcity.news) — Google has secured Laramie County approval for a new office building supporting its massive Project Tembo data center campus just south of Cheyenne, a $17 billion investment in the community. The hub will house offices, food services, and employee amenities, while the pared‑down site plan still promises major construction activity and long‑term tech jobs for Cheyenne‑area residents.
4. Kirsch goes for 4 touchdowns as Plainsmen upend Bison on road (wyomingnews.com) — Cheyenne football fans saw Laramie dominate Cheyenne South 63–0 at Bison Stadium, with senior receiver Isaac Kirsch scoring four touchdowns. South's young roster struggled with turnovers but showed flashes of progress, and the team now turns its focus to hosting Cheyenne East on Sept. 18.

DWS awarded $2 million to connect Wyoming workers with second chances, in-demand careers (wyomingnews.com) — From Cheyenne, state officials announced a $2 million federal RESTART grant to help justice‑involved adults across Wyoming train for in‑demand careers and reenter the workforce. Starting in January, participants can access pre‑release training, post‑release counseling, and Workforce Center support, while local employers are invited to offer second‑chance jobs, apprenticeships, and on‑the‑job training opportunities.
