Good morning, Syracuse.

Six unidentified suspects broke into Destiny USA mall on March 31 at about 3 a.m. when they used a crowbar to smash a glass display case at the Banter by Piercing Pagoda kiosk and stole $51,000 in jewelry before fleeing in a stolen white Kia—police said the suspects remain at large—and the jewelry remains missing.

Early Sunday morning, police reported that a 45-year-old man flagged officers down on the 100 block of East Raynor Avenue in Syracuse with severe facial injuries and head trauma—injuries likely caused by fireworks as he suffered a severed thumb and a deep head cut—and he was taken to Upstate University Hospital in critical but stable condition.

Divers searched the Black River on July 2 in Watertown for remains of Guy Pyke and his 1989 Chevrolet Blazer as his family honored his late wife's wish for his granddaughter to keep looking—Guy disappeared on April 2, 1999—and the investigation seeks answers after 26 years.

John Marsellus, who died last month at 86, donated over $50,000 for Syracuse’s shot clock monument that honors the city’s basketball legacy + he had kept his gift confidential until his death.

The monument was taken down for restoration and will move across Jefferson Street to the Museum of Science and Technology’s entrance + a rededication ceremony is planned for September.

Syracuse Police say car window tints that let through less than 70% of light are unsafe and illegal—officers use tint readers to stop cars with dark windows and may report non-complying inspection sites to the DMV.

Syracuse football gets a boost as Miami native Calvin Russell, a top high school prospect, commits to join the 2026 recruiting class—making him the highest-ranked recruit in a group now ranked 20th overall by 247Sports and 35th by On3/Rivals.
