Here are the top three stories today in Dallas:

  1. The Dallas Police Department is conducting an investigation into the shooting at OT Tavern Bar and Grill. The incident occurred Friday morning at the bar on Greenville Avenue and resulted in the killing of Cameron Ray, 20-years-old. Anyone with information regarding the shooting is being instructed to contact Crime Stoppers. (WFAA.com)

  2. Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas' Center for Advanced Pain Studies are working on more effective treatments for individuals suffering from chronic pain. They are working on finding the differences between human and animal nerve cells while working with DRG neurons. The work is being funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. (Press Release Desk)

  3. Permits are working on a 42-day delay with the City of Dallas. According to the Real Estate Council, $9 million in city revenue is lost for every three months of delays. Councilmember Blackmon is bringing awareness to the delay which is being touted as a serious economic issue for the region. (WFAA.com)
