Break 1: MOG



STORY 1:Police: Road rage led to shooting near Lawrenceville Square

Yaqarah Bennett, a 26-year-old Lawrenceville woman, is facing serious charges, including aggravated assault, after allegedly shooting a 28-year-old man in a road rage incident near Lawrenceville Square. The victim was struck in the knee by a bullet while sitting in his vehicle at an intersection on June 27. Police swiftly secured the scene, recovered shell casings, and identified Bennett based on the victim’s description and specific tattoo markings. She was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during a crime, and cruelty to children in the 2nd Degree. The motive remains undisclosed, and the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact Lawrenceville Police.

STORY 2:Body of missing Gwinnett County man found in truck, police investigating

Gwinnett County police are investigating the death of Guadalupe Garcia Rodriguez, a 40-year-old Lawrenceville man reported missing by his wife on July 1st. Rodriguez was found deceased inside his truck early Wednesday morning in the 200 block of Paden Cove Trail. His wife had last seen him leaving in his truck earlier that day, and he did not return home. Authorities suspect foul play and are treating the case as a homicide, working to determine the circumstances leading to Rodriguez's death. The motive behind the incident remains unknown. Anyone with information is urged to contact Gwinnett County Police Department or Crime Stoppers.

STORY 3:Buford Lineman Marcus Major to Play for Air Force

Marcus Major, a rising senior from Buford and previously Central Gwinnett, recently committed to the United States Air Force Academy football program. As an offensive lineman, Major stands at 6-foot-2 and weighs 305 pounds.

Break 2: TOM WAGES



STORY 4:New warrant reveals dolly, gardening tools seized from home where Gwinnett teen vanished

A new warrant reveals several items were seized from the home of missing 16-year-old Asata Amun in Gwinnett County. Asata was last seen on a doorbell camera in February. Her father, Kwabena Amun, has been uncooperative and is accused of abusing his children. Detectives seized a dolly, gardening tools, shoes, and his SUV, suspecting child cruelty. Asata’s mother, Jasmine Dominique, finds the warrant's contents disturbing and believes Kwabena is hiding something. Kwabena denies abuse claims. Police are still searching for Asata, but Kwabena has not been named a suspect or person of interest.

STORY 5:The color of their swimsuit could save your child’s life

Before hitting the beach or pool, it's crucial to prioritize water safety, especially for children. One widely discussed tip is the "swimsuit color rule," emphasizing the importance of brightly colored swimsuits, particularly neon shades. These colors make individuals much easier to spot underwater, potentially preventing drownings which tragically remain the leading cause of death for children under 4, as per the CDC. Water can distort perception, making it crucial to avoid mistaking people for other objects. Organizations like ALIVE Solutions underscore the need for highly visible swimwear to ensure swift identification in emergencies. Alongside this rule, other precautions, including close supervision and basic water safety education, are essential for a safer day by the water.

STORY 6:   What’s filming in Georgia July 2024?

Recently, several major productions wrapped up filming, including "Fight Night" with Kevin Hart and Samuel L. Jackson for Peacock, J.J. Abrams' "Flowervale Street" featuring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, and a reboot of "Naked Gun" starring Liam Neeson. Also completed were Kevin Bacon's Amazon series "The Bondsman," David Corenswet's "Superman" movie, season four of Netflix's "Sweet Magnolias," and the final season of "Cobra Kai." Currently, few notable projects have begun production since late May, including reality shows, independent films, and unannounced series like "She the People" on Netflix and "G.R.I.T.S." for ALLBLK. The Georgia film office lists active productions, often under pseudonyms like "Cedar Lodge" for "Stranger Things" and "Oops All Berries" for the Disney film "Thunderbolts."

STORY 7:LAKO: Smart financial moves: Managing children’s earnings and inheritance 

When children earn money, whether through chores, jobs, or other means like acting or modeling, parents often manage it until the child reaches adulthood, typically 18 or 21. Banks may allow minors to have accounts with adult cosigners, but custodial accounts are necessary for owning stocks or mutual funds. A custodial Roth IRA is a smart investment option for children with earned income, capped at $7,000 annually or 100% of earnings, whichever is less. Parents often start with savings accounts, potentially growing into substantial investments like CDs or mutual funds by the child's teenage years. Transferring funds to a 529 Plan for education or a Roth IRA for retirement can optimize long-term financial growth, ensuring tax benefits and strategic asset management. Seeking advice from a financial advisor can help parents navigate these decisions and secure their child’s financial future responsibly.



We’ll have final thoughts after this.
