NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A couple from Wisconsin was found dead inside a car just days before celebrating their 1-year wedding anniversary.
The Harvard, Illinois Police Department said in a news release that the couple were found when an officer on October 6 noticed a parked car with its hazard lights activated. When the officer went to look inside the car, both were found dead. They were later identified as Rachel Dumovich, 29, and Brandon Dumovich, 30, from Sharon, Wisconsin, the McHenry County Coroner’s Office told NBC5.
Police said both people had gunshot wounds, adding a gun was found inside the car. The police department didn’t release additional details on how the couple died but said the McHenry County Major Investigative Assistance Team was activated for the incident.
While police told nearby residents to shelter in place after finding the dead couple, it was “later determined there was no ongoing threat to the community.”

A wedding page on The Knot for Rachel and Brandon describes the couple as “middle school sweethearts.”
Rachel described that she met Brandon in middle school when she was 12 years old and caught his attention by “stealing cologne from his locker and running away with it.”
The two stayed in “touch through many life stages and 15 years of friendship,” Rachel wrote, sharing that they began dating in 2022.

The Milwaukee Brewers are staring at a hole right now.
Milwaukee entered Thursday night’s contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers down two games to zero in the National League Championship Series. The Brewers sent Aaron Ashby to the mound as the team’s opener after logging a 2.16 ERA throughout the regular season across 43 total appearances, including one start.
The Brewers are facing the reigning World Series champs — which is a tall task in itself — and now have to dig themselves out of a hole that not many teams have done. MLB.com’s Chad Thornburg shared that only 15 teams have been able to come back in a seven-game series from an 0-2 hole with the most recent being the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2023.
“Teams that win the first two games in a best-of-seven postseason series have history on their side. In 78 of 93 instances, those clubs have prevailed,” Thornburg said. “…The 15 teams that have overcome the odds have proved, time and again, that no two-game lead is safe. Even a 3-0 deficit has been conquered once, by the curse-busting Red Sox against the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS. The most recent instance of a team climbing back from a 2-0 postseason hole came in the 2023 postseason when the D-backs stormed back to defeat the Phillies in seven games in the NLCS after being down 2-0.”
It would only be right for this Brewers team to join this list. This Brewers team dealt with adversity all year. Even when they were stacking up wins throughout the summer, it wasn’t fully healthy often. For example, the Brewers set a new franchise record with a 14-game winning streak throughout the summer, but even that came at a time in when young outfielder Jackson Chourio was injured. Milwaukee just finds a way.
This is the same team that lost the first four games of the season by a combined score of 47-13. The Brewers led baseball with 97 wins, but it’s not like the season was easy from the beginning. Injuries plagued the team all year and they had to find their way through. This is just another example.

Canary in a coal mine: Minneapolis job fair aims to reverse rising Black women unemployment
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A job fair in Minneapolis is set to tackle the rising unemployment rate among Black women, a trend that economists warn could indicate broader economic issues.
Job fair aims to address unemployment
What we know:
Unemployment among Black women in the U.S. has increased significantly this year, jumping from 5.4% in January to 7.5% by August. Economists often view this demographic as an early indicator of larger economic problems.
More than 9,000 Black women in Minnesota are among 300,000-plus in the country who have recently become unemployed, with job losses spanning federal positions, private sector HR roles, and service industry jobs.
The job fair, organized by Sheletta Brundidge, has already registered 300 Black women and will feature 15 employers. The event is scheduled for Friday from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Coliseum on Lake St. in Minneapolis, with space available for up to 500 attendees.
Opportunities for career change
What they’re saying:
“We are always the first to experience hardship and we are an indicator of what’s to come,” said Sheletta Brundidge. “So if unemployment is hitting our community, there’s only a matter of time before everybody else starts seeing it.”
Penny Houston, an unemployed scientific consultant, expressed her willingness to pivot her career, highlighting her diverse educational background, including an MBA and a degree in health care law. “I’m always looking for opportunities to pivot,” said Houston.
The job fair will also provide opportunities for attendees to explore fields like real estate, where they can potentially become their own bosses. Estrella Carter, a realtor with Coldwell Banker, sees it as a promising avenue. “I think it’s still a great opportunity for me to talk to Black women about the importance and the opportunity for them to get involved in that,” said Carter.
How to join:
You can still sign up for the job fair here.
What we don’t know:
September’s unemployment figures for Black women have not been released due to the government shutdown, leaving the current trend somewhat unclear.
