SUMMARY: As Texas approaches the election in 30 days, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett emphasizes the need to engage voters, highlighting concerns like inflation and housing. She notes the lack of awareness among citizens about local and national issues. Meanwhile, Congressman Dan Crenshaw argues the election should focus on policy rather than personality, criticizing Democrats for their stance on fossil fuels and social issues. Both political leaders suggest the upcoming elections will hinge on swing states and voter turnout, particularly among demographics like young women, who may be motivated by recent political changes. The Texas political landscape remains fiercely competitive.

FOX 4’s Steven Dial spoke to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-Dallas) and FOX 26’s Greg Groogan sits down with Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-The Woodlands) to discuss what is on the line in the presidential election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

SUMMARY: A 19-year-old woman, Amaya Madrano, faces capital murder charges after allegedly shooting 66-year-old Ahmad Alola during a Facebook Marketplace transaction in Dallas. Alola, a patriarch of his family, was killed near an elementary school while attempting to sell an iPhone 15. Surveillance footage captured the interaction between the two, showing Madrano shooting Alola before fleeing the scene. Police linked Madrano to the crime through her distinct tattoos and her social media account, which was selling a similar phone shortly after the incident. Madrano, already on probation for a previous assault, has a bond set at $1 million.

Police say Ahmad Alkhalaf, a 66-year-old husband and father from Sasche, was murdered in the middle of the afternoon at an Oak Cliff gas station just off I-35 and South Marsalis Avenue. A 19-year-old woman is charged with his murder.
