Welcome to Phoenix News Update. I'm Morgan Riley, bringing you the latest from our vibrant city.

Word on the streets of Phoenix is that we're heating up, and not just in temperature. The Valley flirted with its first 100-degree day of the year on Tuesday, reaching a sweltering 99 degrees at Sky Harbor International Airport. This broke the previous record for March 26th set just three years ago. While we didn't quite hit triple digits, it's a stark reminder that summer is just around the corner.

In other news, the city is still buzzing about the tragic shooting that occurred near Interstate 17 and Indian School Road on Sunday. Four people were found injured in different locations, with one victim sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Police believe all four individuals were connected to the same shooting incident. As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.

On a brighter note, let's talk about a local hero making waves in the world of indie music. Phoenix's own Pariah Pete, also known as Peter Flis, is set to perform at the upcoming M3F Festival this weekend. The homegrown talent will be sharing the stage with headliners LCD Soundsystem and Justice at Steele Indian School Park. Pete's latest album, "Terminal A," blends funk, R&B, and jazz influences, showcasing the diverse musical landscape of our city.

Looking ahead to the weekend, we've got a mix of sun and clouds in store. Expect highs in the low 90s on Saturday and Sunday, perfect weather for outdoor activities. Speaking of which, don't forget about the Arizona Aloha Festival happening at Tempe Beach Park. This free event celebrates Hawaiian and South Pacific Islander cultures with live music, dance performances, crafts, and traditional food.

As we wrap up today's update, I can't help but reflect on how these stories weave together the fabric of our community. From record-breaking temperatures to local artists making their mark, Phoenix continues to evolve and surprise us. Whether we're facing challenges or celebrating achievements, it's clear that the spirit of our city remains as resilient as ever.
