An investigation is underway after two Arizona women were found shot to death in an overturned vehicle on a dangerous stretch of highway in northern Mexico.
The women, identified only by their last names and ages, were 72 and 82, the attorney general’s office for the state of Sonora said in a release on social media Friday.
The victims, originally from Caborca, Mexico, which is further southeast, were dual citizens of the U.S. and Mexico.

The attorney general’s office said investigators with the Mexican National Guard and the army had found a stolen Ford F-150 and an AK-47 and ammunition believed to be linked to the murders.

In June 2023, a California student doing horticulture research in Sonora was found shot seven times in an SUV. In December, two U.S. residents and one U.S. citizen were shot at by gunmen while traveling a highway in Sonora. One of the men was killed, according to the Arizona Daily Star.

Will Cowboys add cornerbacks following DaRon Bland injury news?
![Will Cowboys add cornerbacks following DaRon Bland injury news? Will Cowboys add cornerbacks following DaRon Bland injury news?](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4491,h_2526,x_0,y_166/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/cowboys_country/01j63hxcc3me0rm1gadk.jpg)
The Dallas Cowboys received some brutal news on Saturday ahead of the team’s preseason finale against the Los Angeles Chargers.
News surfaced that All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland suffered a fracture in his foot that will require surgery. As a result, the injury could keep him sidelined from six to eight weeks.
Bland’s injury was diagnosed after feeling soreness in his foot during training camp in Oxnard.

The disappointing setback means Cowboys fans will have to wait to see the long-awaited reunion of Bland and fellow All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs on the field.
But, Bland’s injury also leads to a bigger quesion: will the Cowboys pursue another cornerback to add to the roster before the start of the regular season? Cowboys owner Jerry Jones shared the answer when speaking to reporters following the team’s loss to the Chargers.
Will the Cowboys look for CB help with DaRon Bland’s injury? Jerry Jones: “Not at all. Not in any way. No. Not at all. The good news is we’ve got some guys that have really shown well in camp. We won’t be looking at all.”

Bland’s injury opens a huge opportunity for fifth-round pick Caelen Carson, who has had a stellar training camp. The Cowboys also have Andrew Booth Jr., who they traded for two weeks ago; Kemon Hall, who was claimed off of waivers after being released by the 49ers; and Eric Scott Jr.
Booth recorded a pick-six in the preseason after being acquired by the team.

If any of those players are able to step up, Jourdan Lewis can remain in the slot where he excels.
So while the loss of Bland is disappointing, it isn’t necessarily the doomsday scenario that many initially went as a snap reaction. Cornerback is one of the few areas where the Cowboys are deep, we’ll just have to see is some of the talent can step up.
Dallas will kick off its 2024 campaign on Sunday, September 8, on the road against the Cleveland Browns. Tom Brady will be making his broadcasting debut for the game on FOX.

Inter Miami clinch playoff spot with Suárez double

Inter Miami clinched a slot in the 2024 Major League Soccer playoffs after triumphing 2-0 over FC Cincinnati on Saturday night in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, thanks to two goals from Luis Suárez.
Despite a red card to Tomás “Toto” Avilés late in the first half at Chase Stadium, the South Florida side saw out the win in the second half against second-place Cincinnati.
Miami was again without Lionel Messi, who was watching on from the stands along with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. Messi has featured in just 12 of Miami’s 26 MLS games this season and is still recovering from a ankle ligament injury suffered in Argentina’s win over Colombia in the Copa América final on July 14.
Miami coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said Friday that Messi would return before the end of the regular season.
The Herons return to the postseason for the first time since 2022, after failing to qualify last year when concluding the campaign in 14th place on the Eastern Conference table with just 34 points in 34 games.
The top seven teams from each conference qualify automatically for the round one best-of-three playoff series, which kicks off on Oct. 26. Each series will see the higher seed host the first game, before playing the second away and returning for the third match if it’s necessary.
Inter Miami will host at least one playoff match at Chase Stadium.
Following the first round, the playoffs will take a break to accommodate the November FIFA international window before resuming play on Nov. 23 for the conference semifinals. MLS Cup will be held on Dec. 7 at the home of the higher-ranked participant.
Inter Miami now sits in first place in the Eastern Conference with 56 points in 26 games, extending its lead over Cincinnati to eight points. With eight regular-season matches left to play, Miami also leads the race for the 2024 Supporters’ Shield and has the possibility to set a new team points record.
