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.

We’ll be right back 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.

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.

Today is Wednesday, July 3rd and Happy 62nd Birthday to actor Tom Cruise ***07.03.24 – BIRTHDAY – TOM CRUISE*** I’m Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia.

All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: MOG STORY 1: Police: Pair of women went on shoplifting spree at Mall of Georgia Two women from southeast Georgia, Nakenda Janea Thompson Fevrier of Pooler and Shacarrie Deasia Heyward of Savannah, are facing a total of 54 charges for allegedly stealing approximately $8,000 worth of merchandise from nine stores at the Mall of Georgia in Buford. The incident occurred on June 22, when they were caught attempting to steal large quantities of items from Dick’s Sporting Goods. They fled on foot, leaving behind their vehicle, which was subsequently searched under a warrant, revealing six large trash bags filled with stolen goods from multiple stores. Charges against each woman include felony theft, possession of tools for a crime, loitering, and misdemeanor shoplifting. Police are seeking information on their whereabouts and urge anyone with details to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers anonymously for a potential reward. STORY 2: Trump seeks to toss NY felony conviction after immunity win Former President Donald Trump is seeking to overturn his New York hush money conviction following a Supreme Court ruling that grants substantial immunity to presidents for actions taken while in office. Trump's lawyers are preparing to request that a New York judge set aside the jury's verdict against him and are proposing to delay his July 11 sentencing to allow for briefing and arguments. The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision overturned lower court rulings that rejected Trump's claim of absolute immunity for federal charges related to efforts to influence the 2020 election results. The case revolves around payments made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, with Trump arguing that these actions were related to his official duties. STORY 3: Girls Tennis Player of the Year: Wesleyan’s Sophie Gibbs Sophie Gibbs and the Wesleyan girls tennis team celebrated their third consecutive state championship, capping an undefeated season with a 20-0 record. Gibbs, who played No. 1 singles, led the team with a 17-3 personal record and reflected on her final season with nostalgia and pride, noting the bonds formed and the achievements shared with her teammates. Her success on the court earned her recognition as the Gwinnett Daily Post’s Girls Tennis Player of the Year. Looking ahead, Gibbs will continue her tennis career at Berry College, motivated by her love for the sport and the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy at Wesleyan.

A formidable defensive lineman standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 248 pounds, Lawston played a crucial role for his high school team, the Lions, during their state playoff run. In his senior year, he recorded impressive stats with 50 tackles, including 31 solo tackles and 12 tackles for loss, along with two sacks. STORY 5: Where will Atlanta Braves turn for help at the trade deadline? As the first half of the season wraps up, the Atlanta Braves are facing critical roster decisions ahead of Major League Baseball’s July 30 trade deadline. With injuries depleting their outfield, including losing Ronald Acuña Jr. and Michael Harris II, newcomer Jarred Kelenic has stepped up admirably, batting .328 since taking over the leadoff spot. Meanwhile, veteran Adam Duvall has struggled with a .169 average against right-handed pitchers, despite his strong history against lefties. General Manager Alex Anthopoulos, known for pivotal moves in 2021, seeks to bolster the team’s outfield depth amid competitive wildcard standings across both leagues, potentially complicating trade negotiations.
