Good morning, Buffalo.

Here's what you need to know heading into your Friday.

This story is shaking the entire city. Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 year old Rohingya refugee from Burma who was nearly blind and spoke no English, was found dead on Perry Street Tuesday night. He had been missing since February 19th when Border Patrol agents picked him up from the Erie County Holding Center after he posted bail. Instead of bringing him home or notifying his family, agents dropped him off at a Tim Hortons on the other side of town that had already closed for the night. He was five miles from home with no way to get there. His family spent days searching for him. Mayor Sean Ryan is placing the blame directly on Border Patrol and Congressman Tim Kennedy has formally requested a full investigation from New York Attorney General Letitia James. Border Patrol claims Shah Alam showed no signs of distress and chose to be dropped at the coffee shop. His cause of death has not been released. This is a developing story and we will keep you updated.

This is the day Bills fans have been circling. Defensive backs and tight ends take the field at Lucas Oil Stadium starting at 3 PM today on NFL Network. These are two of the biggest need positions for Buffalo heading into the draft. Brandon Beane freed up $10.4 million in cap space yesterday with the Spencer Brown restructure so the front office has room to work this offseason. The Bills pick at number 26 in the April draft and today is a big day for the scouting staff to see their potential targets in person. Tune in at 3 PM on NFL Network or stream it on NFL+.

Mark your calendar for 10 AM this morning. Ziggy Marley and Blackberry Smoke tickets officially go on sale for Artpark's summer concert series in Lewiston. Two more outdoor concerts have also been added to the summer lineup but details on those have not been announced yet. Head to artpark.net right at 10 to grab your seats before they sell out. Last year's shows moved fast so do not wait on this one.

Fresh off the 2 to 1 win over New Jersey on Wednesday, the Sabres travel to Sunrise to take on the Florida Panthers tonight. Tage Thompson looked sharp in his first game back from the Olympics and the team is riding some positive energy heading into this one. Buffalo sits at 33 wins, 19 losses, and 6 overtime losses on the season. Puck drops at 7 PM on MSG.

The New York State Department of Transportation is holding a community input session on March 5th for the Kensington Expressway project. If you live anywhere near the East Side or care about what this project means for the neighborhoods it runs through, this is your chance to speak up. More details on the exact time and location are expected soon. We will share them as soon as they drop.

Here is a feel good one to start your Friday. Colvin Cleaners is opening a brand new dedicated headquarters for its Gowns for Prom program right in the Village of Kenmore. The program collects and distributes free prom dresses to high school students across Western New York who need them. If you have gently used formal dresses sitting in your closet collecting dust, this is a perfect way to give them a second life and make some teenager's night unforgettable.

Beautiful day ahead, Buffalo. Plenty of sunshine with a high near 42°F. Enjoy it while it lasts because Saturday stays mild around 41°F but then a cold front rolls in Sunday dropping us back to the low 20s with possible snow.

Artpark tickets on sale at 10 AM today. Sabres at Panthers tonight at 7 PM on MSG. NFL Combine continues Saturday with quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs at 1 PM. Cold front and possible snow moves in Sunday.
