1. New surveillance video has been released of a deadly shooting after an argument escalated at a Publix Supermarket in Coral Gables.

Attorney Justin Shapiro is suing Publix and the jailed accused killer and is representing the late 49-year-old Franklyn Jose Pineyro. (WSVN)

2. The Miami-Dade Police Department said Thursday it has initiated a criminal investigation involving a police officer in coordination with the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office.

Coral Gables commissioners agreed last week not to place on the November general election ballot a $60 million bond referendum that would have financed construction improvements for the War Memorial Youth Center and Phillips Park. Several raised objections to raising taxes and proposed seeking alternative financing sources. (Miami Today)

4. Two more Black football coaches have joined the racial discrimination lawsuit filed against the NFL by former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores in February. The NFL said the claims are "without merit," and said it would defend itself against the lawsuit. (Miami Patch)
