Hello again, friends! I'm back with your new copy of the Cleveland Daily. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about what's happening in town.

But first, today's weather:

Chilly with clouds and sun. High: 41 Low: 32.

Here are the top three stories in Cleveland today:

1. According to Fairview Park Police, two men are wanted after fleeing the scene of an accident. The suspects stole a car from Cleveland, got into a car accident, and then abandoned the vehicle. The police returned the car to the owner, but the police were still looking for the suspects. (Cleveland 19 News)
2. A Cleveland man is the jack of all trades, from airman to science teacher, and has used his life experiences to create a hot sauce company. Michael Killik started the Killik Hot Sauce Company after getting into the restaurant business. In 2004, Killik suffered a stroke that changed the trajectory of his passion, spending time with his children and eventually becoming an entrepreneur. (WKYC.com)
3. Data from the Ohio Department of Health found that although birth rates are rising in Ohio, densely-populated counties such as Cuyahoga County are decreasing. Lower birth rates might result from older birth ages, migration of younger adults to suburban counties, and the effects of the pandemic. (Subscription: cleveland.com)
