Good morning, Midland.

United Family announced Tuesday that it is launching a donate-at-the-register campaign to help flood relief in Central Texas, with select stores running the effort from July 8–13 and other Texas and New Mexico stores continuing until July 20.

The company will also donate $10,000—supporting relief efforts by the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund through the San Angelo Area Foundation and Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country.

Deadly flash flooding in Kerr County left communities reeling, and Senior Life Midland is partnering with the West Texas Food Bank to support seniors in San Angelo and the Hill Country.

The nonprofit calls for donations of essential items—adult diapers, hygiene products, and ready-to-eat food—which can be dropped off, mailed, or submitted online.

Senior Life Midland is helping seniors affected by the flood crisis — donations may be dropped off, mailed, or submitted online through their website — and the group urges local community support.

Midland police are searching for two burglary suspects accused of stealing 17 rifles from a home in the Black Wolf Trail area—on July 8 at around 8:45 a.m., a homeowner caught the suspects on camera and one was seen aiming a rifle at his wife before both fled in a stolen grey Ford Explorer.

Gregory Uriegas, 25, is accused of brutally beating his blind grandmother with dementia in Midland—an affidavit reports he was later found naked in the side yard wearing a woman's blouse and brass knuckles.
