Welcome to the Sacramento Daily Patch Newsletter! This is where you will find all of the best news and events happening in Sacramento for Friday November 5th, 2021! First, today's weather: More clouds than sun. High: 65 Low: 51. Here are the top stories in Sacramento today: School officials in Citrus Heights are warning parents about students selling a new street drug. Mesa Verde High School administrators sent a letter to parents warning them about students secretly selling a new street drug called "Paint." It's a pill with psychedelic effects and is known to be highly addictive. The drug is described as a clear pill capsule with red/brown dust. School officials are urging conversation with your kids. The drug is said to sell for only $5 for a pill. School administrators say they're making progress in their investigation but they're asking for any additional information from students. (CBS Sacramento) The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting in South Sacramento. Officials said the shooting happened just before 3 a.m. Thursday on Stockton Boulevard, near Fruitridge Road. A man and woman were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. No further details were available. (FOX40) According to county records, Florez Bar & Grill in Land Park was closed three times in one week after inspectors found cockroaches, reportedly discovered by handwashing sinks and in a dishwasher. The county said its Environmental Management Department received two reports — one from an individual and another for a group of nine — of people getting sick after eating at the restaurant on October 17. The restaurant has not yet passed re-inspection so it remains closed. (CBS Sacramento) The city has added speed bumps to the 5900 block of Lemon Hill Avenue where a deadly crash killed Lien Dang, an 87-year-old Sacramento grandmother. Councilmember Eric Guerra spearheaded the speed bump addition as part of a city plan to reduce crashes on and around the Stockton Boulevard corridor. (Good Day Sacramento)Families and students with the Sacramento City Unified School District can now enjoy a new community kitchen and garden. The district celebrated the opening of Floyd Farms at Leataata Elementary School on Wednesday.
