Break 1: MOG – GCPS SECKINGER



STORY 1:Lawrenceville Man Convicted of Murdering Two Family Members After Dispute

Bernie Ray Mack, a Lawrenceville man, was sentenced to life in prison without parole plus 30 years for the murders of his wife, Bridget Pearl Brooks-Mack, and his stepson-in-law, Jeremy Roshawn Santos. The shootings occurred during a dispute in May 2022. Mack was convicted on multiple charges, including malice murder, voluntary manslaughter, felony murder, aggravated assault, and gun possession during a felony. The incident unfolded in the Harbor Bay neighborhood, where Mack shot his wife before engaging in a shootout with Jeremy Santos, ultimately killing him. The Gwinnett County District Attorney expressed condolences to the victims' families and emphasized that violence is never justified. The case involved collaboration between law enforcement agencies for investigation.

STORY 2:Gwinnett Man Arrested For Selling Vehicle With Fake VIN

Emir Mehic, a 24-year-old Lawrenceville man, was arrested for selling a vehicle with a false Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). He was charged with Theft by Deception and booked into the Gwinnett County Jail. The arrest followed a report from a victim who purchased a Ford Transit van from Mehic on Facebook Marketplace, only to discover issues with the VIN when attempting to register the vehicle. Detectives confirmed the VIN was false and determined the van was stolen from Ohio. The victim assisted detectives in arranging another purchase from Mehic, leading to his arrest without incident. Gwinnett County police advise buyers to verify the seller's identity and consider obtaining a vehicle history report from approved vendors.

STORY 3:Georgians poised to secure incremental gains in mental health treatment options in 2024

State lawmakers pursued multiple proposals to build on the 2022 mental health bill, opting for smaller, targeted bills rather than a single comprehensive measure. Despite last year's setbacks, this session saw bipartisan efforts to advance mental health reforms. Several bills focused on expanding access to treatment and bolstering the behavioral health workforce. However, some measures faced challenges, such as bills hijacked for unrelated proposals and efforts to expand Medicaid, which fell short. Despite the piecemeal approach, advocates see progress in addressing mental health needs, building on the foundation laid by the 2022 law. The focus remains on methodically advancing reforms to improve mental health services statewide.
