Good morning, Corpus Christi.

Buc Days continues with a week of festivities at the American Bank Center, offering thrill rides, live music and fair food while the Community Stage hosts local acts such as the Red Dragon Pirates, elite K-9 teams and the Racing Pigs.

Visitors can visit the info booth at The Shops at Treasure Island for directions and a chance to enter a contest for a new home HVAC system.

Corpus Christi police say they arrested 41-year-old Adam Salazar for the May 5 shooting of a 45-year-old man in a Southside neighborhood—police report it was an act of family violence and note there is no ongoing public threat.

HB-4801 is a proposed bill to recruit doctors for Nueces County that has drawn concern after CHRISTUS Spohn’s suggested changes limit grant funds to select hospitals—supporters fear the limits may reduce care options.

The bill cleared committee on April 30 with a 10-1 vote and will be scheduled for debate on the Texas House floor.

Corpus Christi police officer Marco Ramirez was named one of 10 top officers nationally for the TOP COPS Award after his heroic efforts to aid fellow officer Kyle Hicks, who later died from a shooting during a domestic dispute.

He will receive the award on May 12 in Washington — a recognition that comes ahead of his three-year service anniversary in June.

Councilman Eric Cantu said the city had been without a cremator for pets since February—forcing animal remains to be sent to the landfill.

City officials are working with the manufacturer to repair the unit—ensuring the process follows TCEQ guidelines.

House Bill 1644 to remove fentanyl testing strips from the banned paraphernalia list passed unanimously in the House last month and is now waiting for a Senate committee hearing.

Some critics fear legalizing the strips will boost drug use—while supporters say they could help prevent deadly overdoses.
