Here are the top stories today in San Antonio:

1. An estimated 2,000 or more migrants could be surging through San Antonio every day after Title 42 gets lifted. San Antonio's Migrant Resource Center is currently over capacity. "Democratic Congressmen Joaquin Castro and Greg Casar announced nearly $40,000,000 in federal money will be coming to San Antonio to help provide shelter and food to migrants." WOAI has more on this story.
2. San Antonio Police are investigating "after the body of a 16-year-old girl was found at the bottom of a cliff." Officials have identified the teen as Siri Reddy. Siri wasn't at school during pickup, and her mother found her body after tracking her phone. Police don't know why she was in the area where she was found, but say it appears that Siri fell and died of her injuries. Visit 550 KTSA for more details.
3. May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The San Antonio Museum of Art is hosting a big family-friendly event on May 7. There will be a dance performance, calligraphy demonstration, and other creative fun along with delicious morsels to enjoy. Guests will enjoy free admission to the museum as well.
