STORY 1:Mother Pleads Guilty To Murdering Son, Setting Apartment On Fire 

Azaria Shante Burton, 23, of Peachtree Corners, has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to murdering her 5-year-old son, Jayveon Pruitt, and setting their apartment on fire to cover up the crime. Prosecutors revealed Burton stabbed her son 22 times before starting the fire in October 2023. She also pleaded guilty to charges including arson, aggravated assault, and tampering with evidence. The Gwinnett County District Attorney condemned Burton's actions, describing them as a senseless act of violence against her own child. Despite being pregnant and facing eviction, Burton premeditated the murder, purchasing flammable gel and practicing setting fires. During the plea hearing, she showed no remorse despite multiple opportunities to address the court.

STORY 2:Parkview Promotes Alum David Reynolds to Head Baseball Coach 

David Reynolds, a Parkview High School graduate and longtime assistant coach, has been named the new head baseball coach following the resignation of Chan Brown. Reynolds played under the legendary Hugh Buchanan and later coached alongside Brown, contributing to six state championships and three national titles during his tenure as assistant. Reynolds, also a former football player at Parkview, brings deep roots and a commitment to community, having spent his entire life in Lilburn. His dedication to Parkview and its baseball program, combined with his coaching experience and community ties, made him the natural choice for the position. Reynolds aims not only to continue the program's winning tradition but also to mentor young men in character development. His appointment reflects a continuation of Parkview's strong athletic legacy under his leadership.

STORY 3:Man Shot, Killed Near Gas Station On Jimmy Carter Blvd. 

Gwinnett County police are investigating a fatal shooting outside a gas station on Jimmy Carter Blvd. A male victim was shot multiple times around 9 p.m., despite officers' attempts to save him. The incident occurred near a wooded area behind the station and was captured on surveillance video. The footage shows a suspect approaching a woman before another man arrives and fatally shoots him. Detectives, alongside the Crime Scene Unit and Medical Examiner's office, are conducting investigations. The victim's identity hasn't been disclosed, and authorities urge anyone with information to contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300.

STORY 4:Four Gwinnett Grads Taken on MLB Draft’s 2nd Day

Four Gwinnett County baseball players made significant strides in the MLB Draft's second day. Michael Massey, a North Gwinnett alum and pitcher for Wake Forest, was selected by the Detroit Tigers in the fourth round. Corey Collins, another North Gwinnett graduate and standout at Georgia, went to the New York Mets in the sixth round. Conrad Cason, from Greater Atlanta Christian and a top high-school prospect, was picked by the Boston Red Sox in the eighth round. Ramsey David, a Buford grad and pitcher at Southeastern University, was chosen by the Houston Astros in the tenth round. Their selections mark a milestone in their baseball careers, reflecting their talent and potential in professional baseball.

STORY 5:Former Georgia Insurance Commissioner Sentenced To Prison

Former Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for conspiring to commit healthcare fraud related to unnecessary lab testing. The scheme involved Oxendine and Dr. Jeffrey Gallups, who conspired to submit fraudulent insurance claims for tests like Pharmacogenetic and Molecular Genetic testing. These tests were medically unnecessary but were ordered to generate profits from insurers and patients, amounting to over $3 million in claims. Oxendine received kickbacks through his consulting business, which he used to make charitable contributions and pay legal fees, and he instructed others to lie to federal agents to cover up the fraud.

STORY 6:Trump is ‘fine’ and gunman dead after shooting at rally 

Former President Donald Trump was rushed off stage during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after a shooter outside the event grounds caused panic with loud popping noises. Trump was seen grabbing his ear and later appeared with blood on his right ear, reportedly from an injury. He is described as "fine" and is undergoing evaluation at a local medical facility. The shooter is deceased, and there was one fatality and a critically injured person among bystanders. President Joe Biden condemned the violence, and law enforcement agencies including the Secret Service, FBI, and Pennsylvania State Police are investigating the incident.

STORY 7:Parkview Baseball Coach Chan Brown Hired at Gainesville

Longtime Parkview baseball head coach Chan Brown has accepted the head coaching position at Gainesville, marking a significant change after 20 successful seasons at Parkview. Brown, who took over from the legendary Hugh Buchanan, led Parkview to six state titles and three national championships. His decision to move was influenced by family considerations, including proximity to his son at the University of Georgia. Brown expressed gratitude to the Parkview community while Gainesville praised his leadership and commitment to developing both players and character. The move comes as Parkview faces its first coaching change in nearly 50 years, highlighting the end of an era for the program.

We’ll have final thoughts after this.
