Here are the top five stories today in Roswell:

1. At about 1:00 p.m. on Jun. 14, Roswell police officers arrested 27-year-old Eneilu Espinoza at the Roswell Dollar Tree. Espinoza was charged with first-degree cruelty to children and reckless conduct for allegedly leaving her 5-year-old and 3-month-old children in a hot car while she shopped. Officers found the unlocked car in the parking lot on Holcomb Bridge Road with the engine off and the windows rolled up. According to police, the temperature outside was 93 degrees and the children were "showing early signs of heat-related illness." Espinoza is currently in the Fulton County Jail. (Fox 5 Atlanta)
2. On the evening of Jun. 14, an employee at a Home Depot in Roswell, at the Market Center at Holcomb Woods shopping mall in the 1500 block of Holcomb Bridge Road, was impaled through her ribs by a crowbar. Roswell firefighters cut the crowbar so that the 54-year-old woman could be transported to the hospital. According to Roswell police, she went to Wellstar North Fulton Hospital, where she underwent surgery and was stable by late Tuesday. (The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
3. Roswell is celebrating Juneteenth with two separate concert performances by The Aaron Nigel Smith Trio. Smith is a Grammy Award-nominated reggae musician.

Are you a Roswell resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Roswell Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
