Two men were found dead in a front yard, while two others were alive but suffering from gunshot wounds. Preliminary findings suggest a verbal altercation in the front yard led to the exchange of gunfire. Detectives are searching for witnesses and investigating the motive behind the shooting. The names of the victims have not been disclosed, and the condition of the injured individuals is unknown. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the police or Crime Stoppers anonymously for a potential cash reward. ..………….. read more at gwinnettdailypost.com   STORY 2: identify Authorities in Gwinnett County are working to identify the body of a Hispanic man discovered at a construction site near Live Oak Parkway and Thompson Parkway in unincorporated Norcross on August 7. The man is believed to be between 20 and 50 years old, measuring between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 6 inches tall, and weighing between 130 and 150 pounds. He was found wearing size 30-by-34 blue jeans, a grey GAP tank top, blue-red-white plaid pajama pants, white socks with a lime green stripe, a black belt, a tan or light brown Nike hoodie, and a white metal beaded necklace. The man also had tattoos on his forearms: one with "John 3:16," a rosary, and a cross on his left forearm, and the other with two nautical stars, the word "Maria," and a pair of wings on his right forearm.

We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We'll be right back   Break 2: Slappey- Tom Wages - Obits   Story 4: kemp Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has criticized State Senator Colton Moore's demand for a special state legislative session to impeach Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis, who is leading an election collusion case against Donald Trump and others. Kemp and State House Speaker Jon Burns have rejected Moore's call for a special session. Kemp compared Moore's efforts to calls in 2020 to overturn Trump's election loss, which he also rejected. Moore has faced criticism for his language, which colleagues have deemed as inciting violence. Speaker Burns called for a lowering of the political temperature, stating that attempts to punish Willis violate the separation of powers. Other Republican senators have proposed using the state's new prosecutor oversight commission to investigate Willis. Kemp expressed doubt about the feasibility and constitutionality of a special session to bypass the law. Story 5: pathways As of August 17, only 265 people have enrolled in Georgia's new Pathways to Coverage program, which launched on July 1. This program provides Medicaid to Georgians aged 19 to 64 with a household income up to the federal poverty level and who meet the qualifying activities threshold but are not eligible for regular Medicaid. Governor Brian Kemp had estimated that around 345,000 Georgians could qualify for the program, but officials now expect an estimated adoption rate of around 90,000 to 100,000 by 2025. The program launched alongside the state's re-verification of Medicaid eligibility, which removed over 97,000 people from Medicaid roles, raising concerns about healthcare stability for affected families.   Story 6: grid   The U.S. faces the challenge of needing significant new transmission capacity for its aging electric grid, and while Congress has taken steps on permitting reform, grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) could make better use of the existing system and reduce the need for new transmission lines. GETs include sensors, power-flow devices, software, and hardware that maximize the grid's efficiency. These technologies can help alleviate congestion, a major issue on the electric grid, by rerouting power through optimal paths and minimizing the use of expensive power generation methods. While GETs offer significant benefits, utility incentives and regulations often favor capital-intensive transmission projects over GETs, leading to slower adoption in the U.S.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: ESOG – Ingles 9 - Cumming   Story 7: gang   Jeffery Rice, a confirmed member of the Red Tape Gang, has been convicted and sentenced to 30 years in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred in Athens-Clarke County on October 21, 2022. The sentence includes 18 years to be served in prison and the remainder on strict probation. The Red Tape Gang has ties to major national Bloods gangs. The conviction is part of ongoing efforts to dismantle gang networks that incite violence in communities. The case was investigated by the Athens-Clarke County Police Department's Homicide and Gang Units, with assistance from the Attorney General's Gang Prosecution Unit, resulting in the indictment of 15 defendants, including seven alleged Red Tape Gang members, over the past year for various incidents, including fatal shootings, assault, and robbery.   Story 8: lanier   Margaritaville at Lanier Islands is set to introduce Georgia's first waterslide coaster, Apocalypso, in 2024. Apocalypso is part of a new tower of four water slides, representing the park's most significant expansion in decades. Apocalypso is described as the "ultimate fusion waterslide" with thrilling plunges, uphill blasts, and the largest blasterango drop in the country. The expansion will bring the total number of slides in the water park to 15. Additionally, the park will feature three other world-class slides starting from the Apocalypso tower. These attractions promise an exciting and fun-filled experience for visitors of all ages.     We'll have final thoughts after this And now, Leah McGrath, corporate dietician at Ingles markets talks with us about foods that help with swollen feet Break 4: Henssler 60 Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Their bodies were discovered by a passerby who had pulled off onto the shoulder of I-85 due to car trouble. The siblings had gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.

The incident occurred around 11:10 p.m. on August 27. Harris is accused of following a man into the store and slashing his face with a razor blade. Security footage identified Harris as the suspect, and the attack appears to be random and unprovoked. Harris was arrested and is currently held in the Gwinnett County jail. Police are urging anyone with information about the incident to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers, offering a cash reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Story 3: transport Gwinnett County transportation officials are planning to expand microtransit services with the creation of a third microtransit zone in northwest Gwinnett, serving residents in Sugar Hill, Buford, and Suwanee.

Artist Teresa Abboud will create the mural, which will welcome visitors to downtown Lawrenceville and promote community engagement. The project began with an open call for local artists to submit designs for a 1,867-square-foot mural, with a portion dedicated to community participation. After reviewing proposals, Abboud was selected as the finalist, and the City Council approved the artwork. This community mural project reflects Lawrenceville's creativity, unity, diversity, and spirit. Story 5: beds   A capacity study commissioned by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities has identified the need for five more behavioral health crisis centers and the creation of around 120 additional beds in the state hospital network for people involved in the criminal justice system by 2025. However, the state must also address workforce issues to fully utilize these resources, especially with the new national 3-digit dialing code, 988, increasing demand for state services. The study also suggests that if crisis centers do not reach about 85% occupancy, more facilities will be required. The impact of 988 on Georgia's safety net remains uncertain.   Story 6: costs   Georgia Power, clean energy advocates, and state regulators' staff have reached a settlement agreement that could result in several billion dollars in costs being borne by company shareholders for the Plant Vogtle nuclear expansion project. The agreement calls for capping the maximum amount paid by Georgia Power customers at $7.6 billion, with expenses above that covered by Georgia Power and its parent company, Southern Co. If approved, the deal would likely result in the average utility customer paying an additional $14 per month for the project. Construction and financing costs for Vogtle have surpassed $34 billion.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: ESOG – Ingles 7 - Cumming   Story 7: runner   Jewel Wells and Eli Griggs of Mill Creek High School received the Gwinnett Runner of the Week honors in cross country.
