Good morning, Daytona Beach.

A Daytona Beach man was convicted of first-degree murder after fatally shooting his wife during a domestic argument on Oct.

19, 2023—he also faced aggravated assault charges for shooting her as she tried to flee with her parents and will be sentenced on June 23 to a mandatory life sentence.

A mother and her son were arrested after providing false information to deputies during the investigation of a teen stabbing near Courtland Boulevard and Hanford Drive — where evidence confirmed that the suspect lost a fight at school and then jumped and stabbed his opponent on his way home — with cell phone data linking him to the planned attack.

Embry-Riddle has launched an associate’s degree program in Air Traffic Management at its Daytona Beach campus that lets students bypass FAA training in Oklahoma City.

The program—approved as part of the FAA’s Enhanced Air Traffic Controller Training Initiative—will begin in August to help build the air traffic controller workforce.

Last year, ocean temperatures were near record levels—running 5-9 degrees above average—but this year they are only 2-5 degrees above average, a shift that could ease the threat of rapid storm intensification.

Forecasters say that while cooler water may bring some relief, residents should still be alert as the hurricane season develops.

The WESH 2 First Warning Weather team is urging Daytona Beach residents to prepare for an active hurricane season by building disaster kits and following local safety plans.

Officials forecast 13 to 19 named storms and 3 to 6 major hurricanes and warn that heavy rain may cause flooding and power outages — with emergency managers advising new residents to be ready for severe weather.

Residents are worried after a Port Orange dump led to two raccoons having jars stuck on their heads, with one found dead near a retention pond.

Animal control provided a trap to help capture the missing raccoon — code officials said the dump remains cluttered with rotting garbage.
