The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

Our analysis shows that the measles virus seen in Utah as recently as May is very closely related to one that circulated in Texas a year ago. Given our findings, one expert said it’s going to be difficult for the U.S. to prove measles isn’t endemic: propub.li/3QAKxK1
A comparison of eight measles virus DNA sequences with 12 genetic letters each. The first sequence is labeled "Texas, May '25," and the rest are labeled as Utah and dated between June '25 to May '26. The sequences for "Texas, May '25" and "Utah, June '25" are identical, and the first five letters of all sequences stay the same. After the "Utah,  June '25" sequence, each sequence gains one to two mutations from the previous sequence listed.
