Dad ‘with big dreams' shot dead trying to stop suspected thief, GA family says
A father of three was fatally shot while chasing a suspected thief, his family said. Now, Georgia police are searching for his killer. Officers were called around 3:15 p.m. Saturday, July 25, about a shooting outside DeKalb County Fire Station 7 in Decatur, according to the DeKalb County Police Department. They found Derek Cummings, 32, who was shot and later died from his injuries. Family members said Cummings was doing yard work at a nearby business when someone stole lawn equipment from his truck, WSB-TV and WAGA reported. Following the suspected thief in his truck, the chase ended at the fire station, where Cummings was shot, relatives told WAGA. The family said the suspected thief took off in his truck. Authorities said they're investigating the 'possibility of a fight elsewhere' that led to the deadly shooting. No arrests had been made as of Tuesday, July 29. Cummings' family described him as a 'young man with big dreams ... and a heart full of love.' 'He was only trying to build a better life,' his mother, Sharon Jennings, wrote on a GoFundMe started by the family. 'He took pride in his work and even more pride in being a new dad. He couldn't stop talking about his baby boy.' He is survived by his fiancée and three kids, including a newborn, WSB-TV reported. 'He loved his kids,' Cummings's fiancée, Jennifer Leriche, told WAGA 'They took him too early. He was a good person.' Anyone with information on the shooting is asked contact the DeKalb County Police Department, or submit an anonymous tip by texting 'DKPD' to 847411, police said. Decatur is about a 10-mile drive northeast from downtown Atlanta.

16-year-old arrested months after stepdad found shot dead, Georgia deputies say
A 16-year-old accused of fatally shooting his stepfather inside their Atlanta-area home was arrested after two months on the run, Georgia deputies said. Jayden Daniel was arrested Thursday, July 17, and faces charges of murder, aggravated assault and theft by taking in the May 13 incident, according to the Newton County Sheriff's Office. He will be charged as an adult, a sheriff's spokesperson said. He was found in DeKalb County, though authorities didn't say what led them there. Daniel also faces charges of possession of a handgun by a person under 18, and possession of a knife or firearm during the commission of a crime, deputies said. His arrest comes months after his stepdad, David Gay, 41, was found shot to death. Deputies responded to a shooting at the family's home in Covington and discovered Gay's body, according to the sheriff's office. 'A preliminary investigation indicated Gay was fatally shot by Daniel,' authorities said, though they did not give a motive. The teen's mother had pleaded with Daniel to come forward after losing another son to gun violence last year, WAGA reported. 'This is the ultimate breaking point for me,' Kennethia Gay told the station. 'I said I couldn't lose another child. I lost my husband, and now I really can't lose another child.' Daniel was taken to the Newton County Detention Center, deputies said. Covington is about a 30-mile drive southeast from downtown Atlanta.

Fox Television Stations One Hour Special Examines the Five Years After George Floyd
Fox Television Stations will premiere a one-hour special called After George Floyd. The show is produced by Fox 9 Minneapolis and will look into what has or hasn't changed since George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis sparked protests, civil unrest, and nationwide calls for police reform.

Here's what the show producers promise: We will walk the beat with two Minneapolis police officers assigned to the area, where emotions remain raw. We sit down with the former police chief who led the department five years ago — and the current chief — to explore what has changed and what work remains. We speak with the State Commissioner of Human Rights about the consent decrees now in place for the police department: Have they made a difference? And we follow the journey of the muralist who painted the iconic image of George Floyd in 2020. The special will air on Sunday, May 25 across all Fox Television Station primary streams at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT. This includes each Fox Local channel, LiveNOW, and Fox Soul.

‘Armed and dangerous' 16-year-old wanted in stepdad's killing, GA sheriff says
A man was found shot to death inside his Atlanta-area home and his teenage stepson is accused of pulling the trigger, according to a Georgia sheriff. Arrest warrants were issued for 16-year-old Jayden Daniel after David Gay, 41, was found dead May 13 at the family's home in Covington, the Newton County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. Daniel was still at large as of May 15 and should be considered 'armed and dangerous,' according to deputies. He's wanted on multiple charges, including murder, aggravated assault and theft by taking. Authorities were called to the home at about 6:15 p.m. Tuesday on a report of a shooting and discovered Gay's body, deputies said. Investigators suspect Daniel fatally shot Gay, but haven't said what led to the shooting. Daniel's mom, Kennethia Gay, has pleaded for her son to surrender, according to WAGA. Kennethia Gay told the station she lost her other son to gun violence last year. 'Please turn yourself in,' she told WAGA. 'This is the ultimate breaking point for me. I said I couldn't lose another child. I lost my husband, and now I really can't lose another child.' Kennethia Gay remembered her husband as a devoted dad who loved her kids 'like you guys were his own,' the station reported. Authorities didn't release additional information. Deputies have asked anyone with information on Daniel's whereabouts to call 911 or Newton County investigators at 678-625-1543. Covington is about a 30-mile drive southeast from downtown Atlanta.
