Congresswoman tests positive for COVID By Charlotte Aguilar caguilar@mcelvypartners.com
U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX Dist. 18) was sidelined Monday after testing positive for COVID-19 and “looks forward to a full and complete recovery,” according to a statement issued by her staff. The 72-year-old congresswoman has represented the district, which now encompasses a large portion of the Heights, Oak Forest and Garden Oaks areas, for 27 years. Lee has been vaccinated
and received boosters, according to the statement, which added: “She encourages everyone to get tested and fully vaccinated along with their booster shots.” It was unclear what prompted Lee to get tested or what, if any, symptoms she displayed. She was in her Houston district, which includes parts of the Heights, as recently as last Saturday, May 14, when she handed out baby formula and supplies at a drive-thru distribution at Yates High School in the Third Ward.
Multiple apartments damaged by kitchen fire By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com
A failure of electrical equipment led to a fire that damaged four units in a Sherwood Lane apartment complex Monday, according to the Houston Fire Department. No injuries were reported in the fire, which caused an estimated $20,000 worth of damage, HFD said in a news release. Crews from nine HFD stations responded to 4596 Sher-
wood Ln. just after 12:30 p.m. Monday, according to HFD, to find smoke coming from the roof of the two-story complex. Firefighters encountered heavier smoke once inside the unit, the department said, and found the fire within a wall in a kitchen. It was extinguished within an hour, according to HFD. HFD said investigators later determined that the fire was unintentional and due to an electrical failure or malfunction.
