Voters went to the polls Saturday to make their final selections in 11 races that required runoffs after the May 4 local elections.
Most of the races were for city council seats in suburban communities around Dallas-Fort Worth. In Dallas County, the only races were for Irving City Council District 4 and Lewisville City Council, Place 2. You can see full results at dallasnews.com/election-results/.
Most of the attention on May 4 was on Dallas’ $1.25 billion bond program that overwhelmingly passed on a day that saw low voter turnout in the city. Turnout on Saturday was expected to be light, as well.
Among the races on the ballot: Two city council races in Allen, and single council races in Euless, North Richland Hills, Kennedale, Anna, Midlothian, Fate, Irving and Lewisville. Also being decided was a seat on the Ellis Appraisal District board of directors.
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – A man from El Paso, Texas, has died after being electrocuted in a hot tub at a private resort in Mexico on Tuesday evening, according to the General Prosecutor’s Office of Justice for the State of Sonora.
The General Prosecutor’s Office for the State of Sonora said the victim, identified as Jorge N., 43, was in a hot tub at the Puerto Peñasco resort when he was electrocuted due to a possible failure in the wiring.
The victim’s wife, identified as Lizzette N., 35, was also in the hot tub and suffered life-threatening injuries.
Lizzette was transferred to a hospital in Mexico and told that her burns were consistent with electric shock, according to the General Prosecutor’s Office. She was transported to the United States, where she was in critical condition as of Wednesday.
The General Prosecutor’s Office says a witness familiar with the couple said she noticed the couple was in the hot tub and were not moving.
The witness told agents at the scene that she tried to enter the hot tub after the couple was non-responsive. However, as she tried to enter the water, she was shocked. The witness then called for help.
Video shared by Nexstar’s KTSM appears to show a crowd gathering around the hot tub after the incident, some of whom sounded to be screaming.
Mexican officials are currently investigating the incident.
Family friends have since created a GoFundMe page to cover the cost of Jorge’s transportation and Lizzette’s medical bills.
