STORY 1:  Gwinnett police searching for suspect after woman found dead in Snellville area home 

Gwinnett County police are searching for a suspect after a woman was found dead in her Snellville home late Tuesday in what appears to be a domestic dispute. A juvenile called 911, reporting an argument between a man and woman. Officers arrived to find the woman deceased, while the suspect had fled on foot. The juveniles in the home were unharmed and unrelated to the victim or suspect. Police believe the incident was isolated, involving individuals who knew each other. Anyone with information is urged to contact detectives or Crime Stoppers for a potential cash reward. 

 

STORY 2: Discovery High football team takes part in Family Promise bed races to help make a community impact 

Discovery High’s football team, led by Coach Roy Groshek, is fostering a positive culture by engaging in community events ahead of spring practice starting May 1. The Titans participated in a pep rally at a local elementary school and the 14th annual Bed Race in Lawrenceville, benefiting Family Promise of Gwinnett, which raised $36,000 to combat homelessness. The team finished second in the youth division, with Principal Robert Maffeo steering their bed. Groshek emphasized the importance of community involvement and rewarding players who excel academically and athletically. Spring practice culminates in a scrimmage on May 15 at Seckinger. 

 

STORY 3: Lilburn and Norcross homestead exemption bills awaiting decision from governor 

Lilburn and Norcross residents await Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision on two bills, House Bill 761 and House Bill 772, which could lead to referendums this fall on new or increased homestead tax exemptions. HB 761 proposes a $5,000 exemption for Lilburn homeowners and $10,000 for those 65 and older, while HB 772 would codify Norcross’s escalating senior exemptions, raising the maximum from $45,000 to $90,000 for homeowners aged 65+. Separate school tax exemption bills for Gwinnett County are also under review, with a countywide referendum set for May 2026. These measures aim to provide tailored local tax relief amidst rising property valuations.
