Local magician Oscar Munoz breaks barriers in the Valley
Oscar Munoz, raised Catholic in Pharr, turned away from mockery to pursue magic. A Marine Corps veteran and USO performer, he stars in a December one hour locally produced special, with potential Fox national air. He travels statewide to speak against drugs and promote reading, self-worth, and family pride, while his wife Melody supports his rise as a prominent Hispanic magician.

Brother of slain Texas teen declines to place blame at standoff end
Kerrville AP report says Paul Gonzales Jr., a Kerrville police officer, testifies he is stuck in the middle as his family sues over the 1994 Guadalupe River dam standoff that ended in the death of Edward Gonzales. He hid behind a car during the incident and says he was unsure if the suspect heard negotiators. The federal suit targets Sgt. Donald Bunch and the city, arguing negotiators were not used and prior white suspect cases had more chance for peaceful resolution. Edward Gonzales was 18.
