Good morning, Chandler.

Lori Vallow Daybell faces sentencing today in Arizona after being convicted in two trials for conspiring to commit murder—charges that include plots to kill her former husband and her niece's ex-husband—and prosecutors are seeking life sentences.

Police in Chandler said a woman died and a man was taken into custody after a shooting Friday afternoon when officers answered a domestic disturbance call near Arizona Avenue + Chandler Boulevard.

During a traffic stop near Interstate 10 and Riggs Road, Chandler police found about 400 pounds of meth hidden with agricultural goods and arrested Claudio Hernández Pérez for transporting drugs for sale + the Arizona Department of Public Safety and National Security Investigations helped with the case.

On Monday, Chandler police arrested Jer’hard Doane Duriso at his home in Mesa after his SUV fatally hit motorcyclist Obed Guadalupe Duarte-Leyva near Chandler Boulevard and Delaware Street last Friday — he fled the scene without stopping to help.

Samarthya 'Sam' Kumar, an 8-year-old third-grader from Chandler-Gilbert, was named Arizona’s only first-prize winner in the national America250 essay contest and earned an all-expenses-paid tour of the White House and U.S. Capitol.

His essay detailed how his family faced hardships after immigrating from India — a journey that led him to work hard and dream big — which underscores his inspiring determination.

Former Cardinals star Larry Fitzgerald said in an interview at the American Century Championship that he expects a Hall of Fame call and believes the team will win the NFC West this season—he also praised former teammate Patrick Peterson and noted his son’s choice to attend Notre Dame. He added that honoring community figures like Pat Tillman is important as the Cardinals work to build a stronger season—local pride plays a key role in their drive to compete.
