Burning Man 2025: Homicide investigation, baby delivery and massive dust storm

This year's Burning Man festival began with a dust storm and ended with news of a suspected homicide.

This year's Burning Man festival began with a dust storm and ended with news of a suspected homicide.

The nine-day festival, which wrapped up on Monday, once again made headlines after attendees posted a slew of videos on social media that captured the highs and lows of the Nevada desert event.

As thousands of attendees began to arrive at Black Rock City on Aug. 24, they were met with a massive dust storm. The less-than-desired desert weather was reminiscent of the heavy rain and mud that trapped festival-goers in 2023.

Following the dust storm, an unexpected guest arrived: One woman, who didn't know she was pregnant, "spontaneously" delivered her baby in her RV camper, which she shared with her husband.

And as the festival was nearing its end, authorities said a man was found dead Saturday in a suspected homicide. The discovery was made as the "Man," a large human-shaped wooden sculpture at the center of the festival, was engulfed in flames.
