Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: History looms over questions about Lewis twins' deaths The deaths of twin brothers Naazir and Qaadir Lewis on Bell Mountain in Towns County have sparked calls for an independent investigation, as their family and NAACP leaders question the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's (GBI) conclusion of a suicide-suicide. Concerns include gaps in the investigation, such as uncollected security footage and unanswered questions about the circumstances of their deaths. The family and NAACP cite historical distrust between the Black community and law enforcement, drawing parallels to past cases like Ahmaud Arbery. They are urging Governor Kemp to order a transparent, independent review to uncover the full truth. STORY 2: Duluth area lands new office for nations top mortgage lender CrossCountry Mortgage, named the nation’s top retail mortgage lender by Scotsman Guide and Mortgage Executive Magazine, has opened a new office in Duluth at 2675 Breckinridge Boulevard. The office will offer a full range of mortgage services, including support for first-time homebuyers, refinancing, and home equity solutions. Local officials praised the move as a testament to Gwinnett County’s thriving housing market and business-friendly environment. CrossCountry aims to deepen community support and help families achieve homeownership, further solidifying Gwinnett as a hub for financial services and economic growth. STORY 3: Police looking for man who shot at a car at Norcross gas station Gwinnett County police are seeking help identifying a man who fired shots at a car on April 10 at a Shell gas station on Singleton Road in Norcross. The suspect, described as a light-skinned Black male wearing a pink hoodie, white shorts, and carrying a gray book bag, fired multiple shots after an interaction with occupants of a blue Hyundai Elantra. No injuries were reported, but another vehicle’s rear windshield was damaged. Police recovered five 9mm shell casings and released security images of the suspect.

Stephanie Potra, once a homeless teenager, reflects on her challenging experience with Family Promise during the 2006 housing crisis. After her family lost their home, they entered the program, moving weekly between church shelters. Potra, angry and ashamed, struggled with depression, rebellion, and trouble at school, despite maintaining strong grades. Her family eventually regained stability, buying a home through the program’s support. Years later, Potra’s perspective shifted, recognizing Family Promise’s role in helping families rebuild. The nonprofit, founded in the 1980s, continues to provide shelter, financial training, and community support to families facing homelessness. STORY 5: Gwinnett County Public Library Receives Carnegie Grant The Gwinnett County Public Library (GCPL) has received a prestigious national grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to expand English language classes in partnership with Gwinnett County Public Schools. The grant will fund free classes, stipends for volunteer teachers, and bus passes for participants, aiming to support English learners in the community. GCPL is one of 11 libraries nationwide selected through the "Libraries as Pillars of Education and Democracy" initiative, which promotes adult literacy and college readiness.
