Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Monday, February 2nd.
We start today with heartbreaking news shaking our Northern Arizona University community. An 18-year-old NAU student was found unresponsive Saturday morning at an off-campus home on South Pinegrove Road after attending a Delta Tau Delta fraternity rush event the night before. Despite CPR from bystanders and first responders, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Flagstaff police have arrested three fraternity leaders—Carter Eslick, Ryan Creech, and Riley Cass, all 20-year-olds charged with hazing. The investigation is ongoing, with an autopsy pending, and both NAU and the national fraternity have suspended the chapter, stressing zero tolerance for hazing. Neighbors near Lone Tree Road, where parties were common, called it a shocking first tragedy at the house, leaving students and locals grieving a preventable loss that underscores the real dangers hidden in what should be fun college nights. NAU reminds everyone: safety comes first, and if you know anything, call Flagstaff Police at 928-774-1414.
Shifting to brighter skies, our arts scene is buzzing with creative ways to beat the winter blues. Last night wrapped up Paint Your Pet Night at Creative Spirits downtown—pet lovers captured furry friends on canvas in a cozy vibe. Running through February, catch Open Studio DIY Pick-Your-Project events there every weekend, or join Sketch and Chill sessions until early March for relaxed drawing hangs. Theater fans, She Kills Monsters just closed its run, but mark your calendars for the 10th Annual Flagstaff Chocolate Walk this Saturday, February 7th—stroll downtown sampling sweet treats from local spots, perfect for a date or family outing that supports our small businesses.
Sports highlights: NAU womens tennis team bounced back strong yesterday, crushing Air Force 5-2 right here in Flagstaff. The Lumberjacks grabbed an early doubles lead and powered through singles, showing that Pine Country grit. Looking ahead, Arizona Snowbowl gears up for the USASA Slopestyle Weekend on February 28th—expect epic jumps and rails in the Grand Canyon Series, with early lift loads for competitors.
And dont miss Yächtley Crëw rocking the historic Orpheum Theater this Friday, February 8th, for a groovy night of tunes, or Cooler Runnings 2026 on the 6th for island vibes in the snow. These events keep Flagstaffs spirit alive, connecting us through art, action, and athletics that make our town thrive.
