​

Good morning, Cuyahoga County. The phrase "wanted man" takes on new significance as federal authorities intensify their search for Cleveland-area fugitive Deion Edwards. Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 250 pounds, the 27-year-old has triggered a manhunt complete with reward money for information leading to his capture. Meanwhile, in the business world, Cleveland-based internet provider Everstream is changing hands in a substantial $385 million deal following its Chapter 11 filing, marking another chapter in Northeast Ohio's evolving tech landscape.

From breaking news to breaking barriers, hometown hero Rob Powers has earned his place in the Ohio AP Hall of Fame. The News 5 anchor's journey from Parma Heights to New York and back again represents a full-circle career moment that began as an internship alongside legendary sports anchor Nev Chandler. Now delivering evening newscasts with his trademark blend of "grace, gravitas and good humor," Powers continues to make his mark on Cleveland journalism.
