SUMMARY: A family faced a shocking ordeal when a man claimed to be the new owner of their home, demanding they vacate while tearing down walls and floors for renovations. Aisha Marjoyo, her brother Hus, and their roommate Jared were left to deal with the chaos after the man entered their home on October 18. The house, which has never been for sale, is embroiled in property tax disputes, with nearly $119,000 owed. The man invoked adverse possession to justify his actions, as the house is still under the names of the deceased parents. Legal investigations are ongoing.

SUMMARY: Houston city leaders are focusing on homelessness, with around 3,000 people potentially sleeping on the streets across Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties. The City Council will vote on nearly $2.6 million in grants aimed at addressing this issue, part of Mayor Whitmire’s initiative to combat homelessness. Proposed measures include preventing families experiencing domestic violence from becoming homeless and establishing an “End Street Homelessness Fund.” Notably, nearly half of those in a local homeless facility are children. Organizations like the Salvation Army and Star of Hope play key roles in providing necessary services and support to vulnerable populations.

SUMMARY: Luka Dončić struggled from three-point range in his first game against the Dallas Mavericks since being traded, hitting only one triple in the first quarter. His emotions were evident, staring down the Dallas bench and later embracing his former teammates. Dončić admitted to sleeplessness before the game, and coach J.J. Redick acknowledged his nerves. Despite shooting struggles (1-for-7 from three), he posted a triple-double in a 107-99 win. Kyrie Irving led all scorers with 35 points. Dončić reflected on the emotional difficulty of leaving Dallas, while Mavericks GM Nico Harrison watched courtside. Anthony Davis hopes to return for the rematch.

SUMMARY: Educators are facing severe violence from students, contributing to a teacher shortage. Incidents include physical assaults, resulting in injuries to teachers, like Fred Jimenez, who died after an altercation last year. Reports indicate over 4,000 injuries among Bear County educators in two years, likely underreported due to insufficient data collection by local school districts. Many districts lack long-term records of assaults, raising concerns about their awareness of increasing violence. The Texas Education Agency does not track teacher injuries. Educators call for more resources and support to address the issue and improve student environments while sharing their experiences.
