Accidents Abound Following Late Winter Hit
03/18/2026
Just one of several accidents during Tuesday morning's commute.
BuffScan roving commute reporter David Pinero, who also happens to be your BuffScan Editor-in-Chief here, captured this during his regular morning commute Tuesday morning, March 17.
The morning was rife with accidents, including a number of school bus, when winter delivered a sneak late winter punch to the Buffalo area. The roads were particularly icy.

Doing the Hokey Pokey, BuffScan Turns Around
03/03/2026
BuffScan ceased compilation of the daily BuffScan Pokey Report recently but didn't realize how popular it was when it comes to searchers looking for names, perhaps including their own.
Outside its value for the effort, the second thing that bothered your Editor-in-Chief about it over time was how it quickly, in the absence of any other content for the day (which is most), it quickly takes over the entire presentation. Blah.
In bringing it back, in recognition of how valued it actually is, apparently, I believe I solved the latter problem by dedicating an entire BuffScan page to it that will be regularly updated, rather than posting it on the main feed.
You can find the BuffScan Pokey Report here now. A permanent link also now appears in the right sidebar. Kinda low there under the new "Resources" header where I will be expanding that list.
As a reminder, keeping in mind that people don't web surf anymore, your phone includes a way to drop a link to a website directly on your home screen. Doing so with the BuffScan Pokey Report is a great one to do that with. Here are two YT demonstrations for doing so on either platform.

Dominic Melendez Accused of Murder
01/26/2026
Audio of Buffalo Police Recording.
This is audio of Buffalo Police's response to what is described as a chaotic situation that turned out to be the homicide of a woman at Buffalo's Pine Harbor Apartments at 10 Seventh St in Buffalo (referred to as "10 7" by BPD dispatch) on January 24, 2026.
Police can be heard shortly after the call-out attempting to manage the incident scene and then swarming the area in a manhunt for alleged suspect Dominic Melendez. The audio does not capture the actual apprehension but reports of his arrest began to appear in area profit media outlets the following day.
Days from Sentencing on Drug Charge
BuffScan's cursory online research indicates that Melendez was just days away from appearing in court to face sentencing on what appears to be a narcotics charge just before allegedly committing the stabbing, effectively though assumed, checking himself into prison for life. It is interesting to note that the transcript of these proceedings indicate that Melendez was released without bail, failed to show up for court, then later either turned himself in or was arrested before being released on his own recognizance a second time.
Court record shows Melendez was about to be sentenced. Was out on second-time-release-without-bail at the time he allegedly stabbed woman to death.
On Monday 1/26 his online court records updated to reflect a separate murder charge.
Murder case added.
At the time of this writing there are enough online leads to name the victim in this case but until officially cited by authorities BuffScan will withhold these leads.
