Today's riddle: What did the wall say to the other wall. 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Sister's discovery of brother's body leads to life sentence (fox5atlanta.com) — In Lawrenceville, a Dacula woman has been sentenced to life without parole for a 2019 stabbing during a drug deal that left a local man dead in his home. Investigators tied her to the cold case through fingerprints and later testimony connected to a separate 2022 stabbing in Lawrenceville, where the victim survived and helped jurors understand her actions.
2. Comic Artist & Illustrator (shoutoutatlanta.com) — Comic artist Brittany Osaseri reflects on rebuilding her art career while spotlighting favorite Lawrenceville hangouts, from downtown restaurants and Galactic Quest to Lawrenceville Lawn and Rhodes Jordan Park. Her recommendations give locals fresh ideas for walks, meals, and events close to home, especially around the growing downtown district.
3. Life sentence for Norcross man in assassination-style shooting, stood over victim firing six times (ocgnews.com) — In Lawrenceville, a Gwinnett County jury sentenced a 22-year-old Norcross man to life in prison plus five years for a 2024 assassination-style shooting. Prosecutors relied on surveillance video, witness accounts, and a later confession to secure convictions for malice murder and related charges, which local officials hope will bring some measure of closure to the victim's family.
4. US News ranks top high schools in Georgia. See the 2026 list (savannahnow.com) — Lawrenceville's top public high school just earned the No. 1 spot in Georgia, while also ranking seventh nationally and 12th for STEM, according to U.S. News & World Report.
