Word on the streets of San Diego, it’s Morgan Riley and I’m glad to be with you for another local update. Here’s what’s making headlines across our city today.

In the wake of last week’s tragic plane crash in the Murphy Canyon neighborhood, more victims have been identified as county officials and federal investigators continue to search for answers. The small jet went down on May 22, shaking the community and drawing first responders from across the region. The National Transportation Safety Board has remained on scene, combing through wreckage and data to determine what led to the deadly incident. While San Diego has a long history with aviation—from Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis to our bustling airport today—each tragedy is a reminder of both progress and risks in the skies above our neighborhoods.

Turning to public safety, San Diego Police are still looking for a suspect after a man was stabbed in front of his Linda Vista home. The attack happened Wednesday morning, and authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant as they continue their investigation and ask for tips from the public.

Shifting to uplifting news that captures the spirit of perseverance in our city, let’s meet the Jimenez family in North County. After facing homelessness, they recently found stability and a home, thanks to local support programs and sheer determination. Their journey highlights just how tough—and how vital—San Diego’s fight against homelessness really is. While numbers show challenges persist, stories like this one remind us that neighbors helping neighbors can make a lasting impact.

If you’re heading outdoors this weekend, expect classic San Diego sunshine with coastal highs in the low 70s and a cool breeze—perfect for a Padres game or a stroll through Balboa Park. On the sports front, the Padres are coming off a hard-fought 10-8 game against the Marlins, and they’re looking to bounce back as summer heats up.

For those looking to connect in person, Chula Vista’s new Gaylord Pacific Hotel and Convention Center is now open, symbolizing civic pride and ambition in the South Bay. Meanwhile, community events this weekend include the annual Ocean Beach Street Fair and the San Diego County Fair’s opening day, both celebrating our city’s unique blend of classic California energy and vibrant diversity.

As we wrap up, I’m struck by how San Diego continues to balance old traditions with new challenges—whether it’s supporting families out of homelessness, honoring lives lost, or rallying around our sports teams. It all circles back to community, resilience, and a shared love for this remarkable place we call home.
