Good morning, Saginaw.

Saginaw will host a Cinco de Mayo parade in a bigger and more diverse celebration this weekend, beginning at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday at Hoyt Park and ending at the Dow Event Center.

The parade features colorful floats, low-riders, music, food trucks and traditional dancers — marking the 80th anniversary of La Unión Cívica Mexicana — to bring the community together.

On Wednesday, the Saginaw County Animal Care and Control Center held a grand opening for its new surgical center with a ribbon cutting+ the facility will offer services such as microchipping, vaccines, spay and neuters and plans to add dental surgeries, TNR for cats, and community outreach along with a 'Spay It Forward' fund to help pet owners.

Police responded to a shooting on the 1300 block of South Michigan Avenue at 6:10 p.m. yesterday where they found two gunshot victims—41-year-old Michael Wayne Carroll was pronounced dead at the hospital while a 66-year-old man received non-life-threatening treatment—and no arrests have been made as the Saginaw Major Crimes Unit continues its investigation.

A 21-year-old man was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm after he stabbed his brother at a Hampton Township home on the 1800 block of Carol Drive at 8:40 p.m. on Sunday—he returned covered in blood with a makeshift tourniquet after his mother told him to leave while the victim was preparing food, and his court date is set for May 13.
