Lights FC midfielder Carlos Alvarez is on pace for a career year. The attacker already has two assists in two games this season. His play is likely going to draw the attention of higher-level clubs.

A judge unsealed nearly 300 pages of search warrant records, including one document that publicly identified an additional “person of interest” in the Oct. 1 massacre on the Las Vegas Strip. “Until the investigation can rule otherwise, Marilou Danley and Douglas Haig have become persons of interest who may have conspired with Stephen Paddock to commit Murder with a Deadly Weapon,” according to the Metropolitan Police Department document Danley was Paddock’s girlfriend and initially was named as a person of interest in the investigation. Authorities later said they do not expect her to face charges. Haig, whose name had not been previously released, spoke to reporters Tuesday evening outside his home in Mesa, Arizona, and confirmed that he has been contacted by investigators. “I’m the guy that sold ammunition to Stephen Paddock,” Haig said. He said he met with Paddock, the gunman behind the mass shooting, once but did not know him. He declined to answer additional questions.
