COCONUT GROVE, FLA. (WSVN) – Boating safety is top of mind in the days leading up to the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Several South Florida agencies, including City of Miami Police and Miami Fire Rescue, and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez came together at Miami City Hall on Saturday to lead a hands-on workshop focusing on preventing tragedy on the water.

The parents of Lucy Fernandez, who lost their daughter in a 2022 boat crash, were also in attendance.

“Our goal is to prioritize responsible boating in an environment where speed, overcrowding, distractions and a lack of navigational knowledge pose significant risk,” said Andy Fernandez, Lucy’s father.

Lucy died when the boat she was on crashed into a mile marker near the Upper Keys in Biscayne Bay. She was 17 years old.

Another teen was permanently disabled by the injuries she suffered.

Members of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the U.S. Coast Guard also took part in a panel discussion at Saturday’s event.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. – Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers identified the 39-year-old woman killed on Thursday night in Homestead as Eulalia Gonzalez Martin De Osorio.

Crime Stoppers used Instagram to distribute a flyer reporting Gonzalez was killed at about 7:40 p.m., in the area of Northwest 11 Street and Sixth Avenue, also known as Roberts Road.

Homestead police officers responded to a shooting, and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel used a helicopter to rush Martin De Osorio to the Jackson South Medical Center where a doctor pronounced her dead.

According to Detective Angel Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade Police Department, Miami-Dade homicide detectives assumed the investigation.

Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.

Miami has cut “Sean Diddy Combs Day” in Miami. According to The Miami Herald, the axe of the annual celebration was called by the Miami Beach Commission.

This past Wednesday, a resolution was passed stating, “upon reflection, the Mayor and City Commission have determined that recognizing October 13, 2016, as ‘Sean Diddy Combs Day’ is no longer in harmony with the City’s values of safety, community well-being, and respect, and wish to rescind the proclamation.”

Additionally, it looks like Diddy has resolved his legal battle with Sean John LLC and GBG USA Inc., the former owners of his clothing company. 

Remember Sean John? At one point, the brand was running the streetwear world. 

According to various news outlets, Diddy has voluntarily dropped his $60 million lawsuit against these entities after reaching an agreement. 

The dispute began in 2021 when Diddy sued the company for continuing to use his likeness and image after he sold 90 percent of his stake in 2016.

The conflict arose because Diddy felt the new owners misused his image in their marketing campaigns.

Bet, they aren’t using his likeness anymore. But we can’t confirm how Sean John is handling the brand nowadays.

Sean Combs created Sean John in the 1990s, and the brand quickly became a powerhouse by 2001.

This lawsuit dismissal is a recent development in a series of legal issues for Diddy. 

He faces ongoing allegations of sex trafficking and fallout from the disturbing and infamous video related to the claims was released.
