Good morning, Edinburg.

Former Edinburg municipal judge Katherine Garcia Perez and her husband pleaded not guilty to drug possession charges linked to a 2022 fire at their business property—lawyers say the seized items were CBD that may have turned to THC and that they were released on $1,000 personal recognizance bonds.

Police in Mission are investigating a deadly Labor Day crash around 9:30 p.m. Monday on the 100 block of Slabough Avenue—where a 24-year-old driver in a red Chevy Avalanche was ejected after hitting a parked car and pronounced dead, with speed suspected as a factor.

Authorities arrested several suspects in a human smuggling attempt off Quintana Road Tuesday night—Homeland Security took part in the investigation as two drivers were caught and others scattered into a mobile home park in the same area where 53 people died in 2022.

PSJA ISD began a nearly $6 million renovation project on the historic Osodome Auditorium yesterday to restore the landmark that served generations of local students and parents.

At San Isidro High School, 17-year-old Estrella Martinez is named Student of the Week because she ranks second in her class and leads as student council president, FCCLA vice president, and UIL competitor—she also excels in volleyball, cross-country, and cheerleading.
