KENDALE LAKES, Fla. – Detectives responded to a house with a ruby red door that turned into the scene of a family tragedy in a quiet residential community on Sunday in Miami-Dade County’s Kendale Lakes neighborhood.

According to Detective Angel Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade Police Department, there was a death investigation on Sunday evening at 4510 SW 137 Court.

According to county property records, the address is that of a single-family three-bedroom two-bathroom cluster home that has been in the Morato family since 1993.

The medical examiner’s office also responded. Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.

This is a developing story.

Miami Swim Week is here and it is already causing a stir.

Hanna and Haley Cavinder, the renowned “Queens of NIL,” are in Miami, diving into the Swim Week festivities with full force, stealing the show with their unique blend of charisma, charm and physical beauty.

The Cavinder Twins, much like Olivia Dunne in the gymnastics world, were not merely spectators at the event.

They took an active role by making their runway debut for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, a prime opportunity they seized in the same way they have every NIL deal the twins have secured during their respective collegiate basketball careers.

Returning for their fifth year of college basketball, the twins showcased their versatility by stepping onto the runway for the first time.

Their return to the University of Miami doesn’t mean they’re slowing down their off-court endeavors.

Instead, they’re reigniting their NIL ventures, promising a farewell tour filled with exciting content, again proving that under the current rules it is more profitable for them to stay in college, rather than declare for the WNBA draft.

From the Court to the Catwalk

The Cavinder Twins didn’t spend a year away from basketball just to halt their growing brand and new business ventures.

Their decision to return to the game comes with a commitment to continue expanding their brand, aiming to help the Hurricanes make another deep NCAA Tournament run. And what better stage to do that than the runway at Miami Swim Week?

Now, with “runway models” added to their resumes, the Cavinder Twins can leverage the prestigious Sports Illustrated Swimsuit brand to further their influence.

It’s a rare feat for college athletes, blending athletic prowess with modeling on such a significant platform.
