Upon visiting the lottery headquarters to claim his winnings, Cruz-Sanchez opted for the lump sum payment of $600,000.

With temperatures expected to soar into the 90s, coupled with high humidity levels, it will feel like 100 degrees to the body. Residents are advised to stay hydrated and seek ways to keep cool during this period of extreme heat.
Tragic Events Unfold
Unfortunately, amidst the lottery win and heatwave warnings, tragic events have unfolded in various parts of the country. In Arkansas, three individuals lost their lives, and 11 others sustained injuries in a shooting at a grocery store. The suspect, Tarvis Eugene Posey, has been apprehended and will face three counts of capital murder, with additional charges pending.
Meanwhile, the Davie County Sheriff’s Office is on the lookout for a suspect involved in an overnight stabbing incident. The victim, 62-year-old Mark Dukes, was found dead at his residence, with 32-year-old Danny Carter named as the prime suspect. Carter, believed to have known the victim, fled the scene before law enforcement arrived.
Further afield, in Winston-Salem, a man has been arrested and charged with murder in connection to a fatal shooting. Jake Gagne the Fourth was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals and a SWAT team for the death of Rashad Sims, who was found shot multiple times on Ethel Drive.
Supreme Court Ruling on Gun Law
In a significant development, the Supreme Court upheld a federal gun law aimed at preventing individuals with domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms. Gun safety advocates have lauded the decision, citing it as a crucial step in safeguarding lives. The ruling, which received an 8-1 majority, signals a potential shift in how gun laws are interpreted and enforced.
Despite the positive reception from advocates, the ruling has sparked debate among justices, with Justice Clarence Thomas issuing a dissenting opinion. The decision’s implications on existing gun safety laws remain a topic of discussion, with some concerns raised about potential challenges to other legislation in the future.
