- Investigators say a 16-year-old boy drove a Jeep Wrangler that pulled the girls on a sled that struck a curb and hit a tree near Majestic Gardens Drive and Killian Court, and police report no indication of alcohol involvement.
- Frisco police are working with the Denton County District Attorney’s Office to determine any charges, as the Wakeland High School community organizes counseling and a prayer vigil and Brito’s family honors her organ donor wish.
- In Oklahoma City, police arrested Angel Walzier and James Kirk after Makayla Mitchell, 31, was killed when a tow rope broke and a following vehicle struck her; both were booked on second-degree murder and aggravated DUI after on-scene impairment evaluations and blood draws.
