Good evening, Nightrest residents. This is Catherine Graves, reporting live outside of Poppies with tragic news. It is with a heavy heart that we inform you all that Cameron Russell's body has been found inside the flower shop earlier this evening, as reported by the owner, Belkis Kaplan, and an employee, Savika Lawan, when they came back to the shop after taking a quick break. The Closed sign had been placed on the door, but it had not been locked, which was how Russell found himself inside, but unlike the previous deaths, a clear murder weapon was found, as it had been left behind at the scene.
Cameron Russell, a cardiothoracic surgeon at our own Griggs General, whose younger sister had been one of the victims during the night of Abrams' and Zhou's engagement party, suffered blunt force trauma to the head after being hit multiple times with a jumbo planter pot, one of many which can be found lying around the flower shop. Forensic investigators confirmed that there were no fingerprints left behind on the pot. Law enforcement describes the kill as rash and angry, and the killer most likely fled the scene quickly afterwards. Officials are treating this as another homicide case, and like all the previous ones, the investigation is still active. If anyone has any information regarding Russell's sudden death or have seen any suspicious activity that can help solve the case, we highly encourage you to let officials know. The town-wide curfew is still ongoing, and we encourage everyone to follow it, and to continue to be safe by never going out alone. Our hearts go out to the friends and family of Russell, and we encourage everyone to give them privacy during this difficult time.
Once again, this is Catherine Graves, and this has been Nightrest News. Please, stay safe.
