City of Miami unveils mural honoring children of the Pedro Pan Program and hero Cuban general

MIAMI (WSVN) — A new mural has been unveiled in the City of Miami to honor a significant chapter in South Florida’s history.

The artwork pays tribute to more than 14,000 children who participated in the Pedro Pan Program. During the 1960s, these children were sent from Cuba to the United States by their families in an effort to escape the Castro regime.

In addition to honoring the Pedro Pan children, the mural also celebrates General Antonio Maceo, known as “The Bronze Titan.” Maceo was a hero who fought for Cuba’s independence against Spain in the 1800s.

This meaningful display is located at the intersection of Southwest 13th Avenue and 10th Street, where visitors can view and reflect on this important piece of history.

Coroner says a 7th person has died from injuries in Mississippi Delta town mass shooting

LELAND, Miss. (AP) — A seventh person has died from injuries sustained in a mass shooting following a high school football homecoming game earlier this month in the Mississippi Delta town of Leland, according to local officials.

Washington County coroner LaQuesha Watkins announced Saturday that her office was informed by the Hinds County coroner’s office on Friday about the death of 25-year-old Ebanee Williams.

In connection with the shooting, which occurred around midnight on October 11, nine people have been arrested. Several of those arrested face capital murder charges. The incident also left more than a dozen individuals injured.

The FBI’s Jackson Field Office has been actively posting pictures of suspects wanted for questioning in relation to the mass shooting.

The shooting took place as people were celebrating homecoming weekend in downtown Leland, shortly after the football game.

Authorities have not disclosed a possible motive for the shooting. However, the FBI indicated that the gunfire appears to have been “sparked by a disagreement among several individuals.”

Josh Mahura scores in OT to lift the Kraken past the Maple Leafs, 4-3

TORONTO (AP) — Josh Mahura scored his first goal of the season at 3:06 of overtime to give the Seattle Kraken a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.

Mahura beat Anthony Stolarz with a high shot, helping Seattle snap a two-game overtime losing streak on the opening night of their six-game road trip, which began with consecutive extra-time losses in Montreal and Ottawa.

Shane Wright contributed with a goal and an assist for the Kraken, while Jani Nyman and Vince Dunn also found the back of the net. Joey Daccord made 26 saves to secure the win, and Mason Marchment added two assists.

For the Maple Leafs, John Tavares scored twice, reaching a milestone of 500 points with Toronto. Morgan Rielly also scored, and goaltender Anthony Stolarz stopped 24 shots. Tavares’s second goal tied the game at 3-3 on a power play early in the third period.

The Kraken arrived at Scotiabank Arena wearing Mariners jerseys, showing support for Seattle’s baseball team. The Mariners currently lead the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 in the American League Championship Series and have the chance to reach the franchise’s first World Series with a win in Sunday’s game in Toronto.

**Up next:**
– Kraken: At Philadelphia on Monday night
– Maple Leafs: Host New Jersey on Tuesday night

Charlotte FC beats the Union 2-0 to clinch a top 4 seed in the playoffs

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Wilfried Zaha and Kerwin Vargas scored six minutes apart in the first half, leading Charlotte FC to a 2-0 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday night. Kristijan Kahlina recorded his 12th clean sheet of the season, helping Charlotte clinch a top-four seed in the playoffs for the first time in club history.

Charlotte (19-13-2) became the 11th team in MLS history to win at least 13 home games in a single season, excluding the shootout era. Zaha, in his first year with the club, joined Anders Dreyer and Philip Zinckernagel as one of the five first-year players since 2020 to score at least 10 goals and record at least 10 assists in a single season.

Philadelphia (20-8-6), known for having one of the league’s top defenses, allowed multiple goals for just the second time since May 24. Union goalkeeper Andre Blake, who entered the game with the third-most clean sheets in the Eastern Conference this season at nine, was unable to keep a clean sheet on this occasion.

Broncos activate Dre Greenlaw from injured reserve ahead of Giants game

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Broncos activated prized free agent acquisition Dre Greenlaw from injured reserve on Saturday ahead of their Sunday game against the New York Giants.

Greenlaw has been sidelined since the summer with a quadriceps injury he first incurred during the team’s offseason program. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said Thursday that Greenlaw would be on a pitch count whenever he returned to the lineup.

The Broncos (4-2) are seeking their fourth consecutive victory when they host the resurgent Giants (2-4) Sunday at Empower Field. The team will also honor the late Demaryius Thomas, who was the 38th member of the Broncos’ Ring of Fame.

To make room on the roster, the Broncos released quarterback Sam Ehlinger, whom they signed back to their practice squad on Saturday. In other moves, Denver released defensive back A.J. Woods and wide receiver Thayer Thomas (injury settlement) from their practice squad.

Greenlaw signed a three-year, $31.5 million contract with the Broncos this spring after six seasons in San Francisco. He returned to practice this week and was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before participating fully on Friday, signaling his readiness to come off injured reserve.

As usual with injury updates, coach Sean Payton remained coy when asked about Greenlaw’s status on Friday, refusing to confirm if he was a full participant before the practice report was released. When pressed if Greenlaw had a good week of practice, Payton said, “Yes, positive. He was able to go and move around, so yes.”

The Broncos noted that inside linebacker Justin Strnad, who leads all NFL inside linebackers with 2.5 sacks, has earned playing time even with Greenlaw’s return to the lineup.

Denver’s defense, which just limited Justin Fields to minus-10 net passing yards in a 13-11 victory over the New York Jets in London, is expected to step up a notch with Greenlaw healthy.

“Dre looked good out there,” star cornerback Patrick Surtain said after Greenlaw returned to practice Wednesday. “It seems like he’s very sharp out there on everything, on the game plan, so I’m very excited for him.”

A’ja Wilson and Dana Evans lead Las Vegas Aces past Phoenix Mercury 89-86 in WNBA Finals opener

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Aja Wilson and Dana Evans each scored 21 points as the Las Vegas Aces edged the Phoenix Mercury 89-86 in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals on Friday night.

Wilson contributed 12 of her points over the final 14 minutes, helping the Aces hold on as Phoenix’s Satou Sabally missed a long 3-pointer with 2 seconds left that would have tied the game. Game 2 is set for Sunday in Las Vegas.

Evans led a dominant Aces bench that outscored the Mercury’s reserves 41-16. Reserve Jewell Loyd added 18 points for second-seeded Las Vegas, while starter Jackie Young contributed 10 points. Wilson also grabbed 10 rebounds, and Chelsea Gray led the team with 10 assists.

For the fourth-seeded Mercury, Kahleah Cooper scored 21 points. Sabally added 19 points, and Alyssa Thomas closely missed a triple-double with 15 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists.

Cooper’s 19 first-half points were just one shy of her playoff career high for a half. Interestingly, her personal best of 20 points in a first half also came against the Mercury, during Game 3 of the 2021 Finals when she played for Chicago. Cooper’s five 3-pointers in the first half surpassed her previous high of four made threes in a game.

If this opening game was any indication, this WNBA Finals — the first-ever best-of-seven series — is set to be tightly contested throughout. The largest lead was nine points, and the game featured 12 lead changes and nine ties.

The Mercury threatened to take control on several occasions, only for the Aces to respond with timely runs. In the closing moments, with Phoenix down by one point and 24.6 seconds remaining, Thomas went to the free-throw line but missed both attempts.

On the other end, Young was fouled with 13.5 seconds left and calmly sank both free throws, sealing the final margin and giving Las Vegas the Game 1 victory.
