🌱 Trash Pick-Up Delayed + Shalimar Drive Fire + Cold Case

Good day, neighbors! Helen Eckhard here with the latest Oklahoma City Daily.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and quite cold. High: 34 Low: 18.

Here are the top three stories today in Oklahoma City:

1. Oklahoma City’s trash pick-up was delayed on Thursday due to hazardous winter weather conditions. For residents and businesses that have regular trash service on Thursday, pick-up service has been delayed until Saturday. In addition, for those whose biweekly recycling date was scheduled for Feb. 24., recycling service will also be conducted on Saturday. (KFOR)
2. A fire broke out in a family home at 5321 Shalimar Drive on Thursday afternoon. The homeowner was burning wood in the fireplace when her son smelled smoke in an upstairs room, according to the fire crew. The family then realized the chimney was on fire and had spread to other areas of the house. (OKC Fox)
3. Oklahoma City police are asking the public for help in solving a cold case involving a man whose complications from a gunshot wound led to his death three years later. Andrew Lee Ingram was shot back on March 3, 2017, and as of now, the case still remains unsolved. No arrests have been made and the investigation into Ingram’s death is an open case with the Oklahoma City Homicide Cold Case Unit. (KFOR)
