Good morning, Glendale.

Judy Lopez was stabbed and killed near State Farm Stadium while on her way to her mother's house for a surprise birthday party—her family is asking anyone with information to help the investigation.

Glendale Police used a new radar system — costing $600,000 per patrol car — to catch speeding drivers in a residential area as neighbors complained, and the West Valley Task Force recorded over 215 stops on Wednesday while Officer Schlingman noted drivers offered excuses from being late to needing a restroom.

Governor Katie Hobbs signed House Bill 2765, which will take effect 90 days after the legislative session and allows community college students to get tuition help for earning a bachelor’s in education.

Students from colleges like Glendale Community College will teach in Arizona public schools—helping ease teacher shortages—and benefit from more affordable study options.

On May 1, Glendale opened cooling centers and hydration stations at key locations to help protect vulnerable residents from extreme heat, including seniors and those experiencing homelessness.

City officials partnered with local groups — Arizona Faith Network and Phoenix Rescue Mission—to offer water, snacks, and case management services at these stops.

The Glendale City Council approved zoning for a 39-acre site on Loop 101 to support VAI Resort that will include housing, retail and hotels despite opposition from Worker Power—a union group that forced a referendum on a 10-acre parcel for an employee office and parking lot.

Voters must decide with Props 401 and 402 whether to uphold the council’s decision, a choice that will determine if the project creating over 2,000 jobs can move forward.

Greenway won 6-1 over Cactus in a playoff game in Phoenix, where senior Taylor Borup hit two home runs that gave her team the win — ending Cactus’ season with a hard lesson.
