Good morning, Racine.
🚨 Crime
Adam Locke sued Racine after police transported him in an unventilated van from Froedtert Hospital to jail on July 14, 2024, where rising heat left him losing consciousness and suffering further injuries—he claims the officers treated him like cargo.
The lawsuits—one seeking public records and one alleging civil rights violations—demand $5 million in damages.
🎓 Education
Racine County Eye has launched the Education Matters initiative to change how K-12 education is reported in eastern Racine by inviting input from parents, teachers, and students.
The effort will host a free community discussion on April 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. at The Main Project and a ticketed breakfast on May 21 from 8 to 10 a.m. at Memorial Hall—both events will guide the future work of a Report for America education reporter.
🏈 Sports
Racine high school basketball teams competed in state tournaments this month with Prairie School advancing to the semifinals and Park reaching the championship game for the first time since 1943.
Star guard Isaiah Robinson broke the tournament single-game steals record with 15—an effort that shone despite a heartbreaking overtime loss.
