Lori Daybell's first Arizona trial set to begin Monday

Opening statements are scheduled to begin Monday in an Arizona case against Lori Daybell, who was charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in the death of Charles Vallow, her fourth husband.

Daybell’s brother, Alex Cox, killed Vallow after an argument in Chandler and claimed self-defense. However, a Maricopa County grand jury later indicted Lori Daybell, alleging she played a role in planning the killing.

How tariffs could help and hurt Arizona businesses

In Aguila, Arizona, signs on the side of the road, and on the pavement, warn drivers to look out for cattle.

Brian DeGanahl is a third-generation rancher, and on his ranch, he and his family's cows will produce enough beef to feed 4,000 families a year, but that number could be a lot higher.

His cows will be steaks in a year, and he says if President Trump's tariff plan works, beef producers like him could sell those steaks in international markets they don’t currently have access to. When it comes to tariffs, for Arizona businesses, there are two sides to the story.

In the Valley, full-time mom of three kids, and full-time small business owner Erica Campbell says she doesn't have the time to be patient with tariff negotiations.


Man arrested after deadly stabbing near 59th Avenue and Indian School Road

Phoenix police say a man has been arrested after allegedly stabbing a man to death on Sunday.

Officials say it happened just after 5 p.m., near 59th Avenue and Indian School Road.

When officers arrived, they found a man with serious injuries, who was transported to a hospital where he later died.

Police say a man left the scene and headed into a neighborhood. Officials later located the man and took him into custody.
