You're watching 11 alive. Morning News.
11 minutes of nonstop news starts now.
First this morning in Metro Atlanta.
Family in mourning.
Their teen is dead after a
shooting in Gwinnett County.
What we know about the investigation
after three students were killed on
Michigan State University's campus.
We're taking a close look at
the safety protocols in place
on universities in Georgia.
The weather has been nice
the last couple of days,
but now changes are coming.
We got cloudy skies on the outside,
even some light rain to deal with,
but the temperatures stay.
You're gonna love it in the
full forecast coming up,
new details for you this morning from
the case surrounding the death of this
Gwinnett County Teen Susana Morales.
Warrants revealed some new
information about the now former
officer charged in the case.
The 16 year old had been missing
for more than six months before
someone found her remains last week.
That former officer is in jail
accused of disposing of her body.
Many new details coming to light now.
Ariana Muniz joins us with a breakdown.
Good morning. Those arrest warrants
are revealing why Miles Bryant is
behind bars here at the Gwinnett
County Detention Center and facing
charges tied to Susanna Morales.
Death now Bryant.
He made his first court appearance
yesterday where he was denied bond.
11 alive obtained those arrest
warrants showing that the now
former Dorville officer and Moreles
they live close to each other,
Norcross originally where she went
missing since six months ago.
We also learned he's accused of dumping
the six year old's naked body in the woods.
And falsely reporting that someone broke
into his car and stole a gun from inside
just one day after Morales disappeared.
Meanwhile,
it's been a week since Morales's remains
were found and right now investigators
say they're not sure how the team died.
And we spoke to the teens family as
they're trying to process all this new
information that we're now learning.
Take a listen.
It's unbelievable.
Honestly, I have.
There's no words I can say honestly
to explain.
There's no other words besides that.
It sucks that it took so long,
but I'm guessing that him being an officer.
Has to do with that.
Now, although Bryant is
behind bars this morning,
Gwinnett County police say this
investigation is still ongoing.
Police, as well as a family,
they're still searching for
answers and asking anyone with
any information tied to this
crime to give police a call.
Back to you,
Ariana. Thank you.
Continuing your 11 minutes of nonstop news,
police are investigating the deadly shooting
of a teen killed in Gwinnett County.
Police say he was found shot on
the same street where he lived.
It happened after 5:30 PM on
Windward Lane in Norcross.
That's Near Meadow Creek High school.
The team was taken to the
hospital where he died.
We just heard from Gwinnett County police.
They say they've been following leads and
this investigation is rapidly progressing.
They expect to have more details
soon and right now efforts to
update the city of Atlanta's curfew
are hitting another snack.
Council member Keisha White says the
Atlanta Public Safety Committee tabled
her proposal because the Council
wanted to review more crime data.
She first introduced the curfew
for those 17 and younger after
12 year old Zion Charles.
Was shot and killed near
Atlantic Station last November.
They do plan to talk about that
curfew again in a few weeks.
This morning,
advocates keep pushing to stop the
construction of a new Atlanta public
Safety Training Center in De Kalb County.
There is a scheduled hearing
tomorrow for a temporary restraining
order that will stop construction.
It says the zoning Board of Appeals needs
to issue a decision and there should
not be any work going on on the site,
which they have now caught.
Cop city, until that happens.
New this morning, animals.
Are going up for adoption after they
were rescued from a case of neglect.
Police in Fulton County say they helped
rescue more than 65 animals last week.
The Lifeline Animal project says
some of the dogs from the rescue are
looking for new homes starting today.
The adoption fee is $85.
I have a hunch they'll go pretty quickly.
Yeah,
they look a lot clean and all nice chassis.
Good day to take them outside and play,
or,
yeah, like those drooping eyes like that.
It may. Alright.
We're looking at light rain mainly
north of the city of Atlanta right now.
You see more back off to the West.
That's headed in a directory
right toward the city. So yeah,
you'll get in on some of this as well.
Scattered showers light for the most part.
That's the way it's going to be.
A couple of moderate pockets here and there.
Here's Helen just north of that
little moderate pocket in there.
Very, very isolated.
No lightning strikes
associated with it at all.
But such as Juno down through Silver City,
light rain over toward Canton as well.
You do have that light rain a little
steady over toward Kennesaw headed into.
It really messed her in
portions of Cobb County.
Perhaps Powder Springs
you'll get on this Austell.
You'll get in on some of
this light rain as well.
A few sprinkles over toward Roswell,
but you go down toward the
perimeter into the city of Atlanta.
Not much at all,
especially South of the city,
but you'll get in on some of these again.
A few isolated showers will
pop up in your area.
This will be the case as we head through
much of the day clouds for the most part.
A few light showers go ahead and carry
the umbrella with you temperature wise.
A mild start starting off right
around 53 degrees will hit
63 by noon on our way to 68.
For an afternoon high,
nice warm afternoon for you.
We'll drop back down to 65 degrees under
mostly cloudy skies by 7:00 o'clock tonight.
There could be a couple of isolated showers
still around by that particular hour
kind of weak system that's making its way.
Well,
weakening really,
as it moves over toward the east and
making its way up toward the north.
You see that southerly flow
thanks to high pressure that's
off toward the east of us now.
And so it's bringing in those
southerly winds will have them
up to about 9 mph today.
Another system,
another front will come in and
you can see this enhanced risk
where Level 3 threat for severe
weather over toward Memphis.
That area grows by tomorrow
as it shifts to the east,
including Nashville all the way
down into Birmingham for us,
our Northwestern counties,
Dade,
Walker County down through Floyd
County is under a Level 2 threat.
That's a slight risk for severe weather.
You're looking at Atlanta Metro
area and our Western counties
under our level one threat.
What does that mean for us?
Isolated, strong,
severe thunderstorms are possible.
That rain will start late on
Thursday and I'm thinking after
about 9:00 o'clock is when we
start to see a heavy rain move in.
Now heavy rain,
but the gusty winds associated
with a few of those thunderstorms.
And we cannot rule out an isolated tornado.
Now keep in mind this will
be on the isolated
side, not very widespread at all.
That rain is gonna linger
into Friday morning,
so it will impact our Friday morning commute.
But by the afternoon, we'll clear it out,
get some sunshine back into the area,
but it will be much cooler out there.
Notice the isolated variety
around 4:00 today.
This is our forecast track model
shows you that we'll have the
clouds to start off on Thursday.
More of the isolated showers
during the daytime.
Once we get past eight,
9:00 o'clock is when that heavy
rain will begin to move in.
And again it will be with us.
At least at least through
our Friday morning commute.
By the time we get to the afternoon
the sunshine will start to break out.
Look how much cooler it will be.
73 for a high on Thursday.
Friday we're looking at 54.
Going to stay in the low fifties
to start the weekend Saturday
under mostly sunny skies.
53 for the high after a 29 degree
start and then we'll rebound on
Sunday getting back to the 60s.
The Michigan State
University community bonding
together to remember 3 lives taking
during the shooting on campus.
Several vigils were held last
night to remember the victims
while another vigil was playing.
Tonight at the university,
these are the three students killed.
Ariel Anderson was a junior,
Brian Frazier and Alexandria Verner.
They were sophomores.
Five other students are still in the
hospital this morning as students
pay tribute to them all on campus.
There is still no motive for
why the dead gunman opened fire
classes at the university will not
stop start back up until Monday.
The shooting at Michigan State has
students around the country on edge,
so Molly Oak checked in with
some Georgia University to see.
How they're working to keep students safe.
We talk with the universities here
in Georgia, like Georgia Tech,
about campus security measures and
how they're keeping students safe.
Here at Georgia Tech, the Police
Department Emergency Management Division
conducts threat and risk assessments,
drills and security audits,
and regularly updates and
emergency action plan.
Over at the University of Georgia,
it recently announced an 8 1/2 million
dollar investment in a rideshare program,
and it also has a push to hire
more police officers on campus and
lighting and security improvements.
We also talked with students at Georgia
State who say there is a consistent.
Police presence on campus.
I always see the police walking
around campus.
Nothing's ever happened to me.
I've been here.
This is my third year,
so it's still scary to hear.
But I feel safe at Georgia State
sometimes when it's dark,
if I'm walking by myself,
I kind of like tend to like look
in all surroundings just in case,
because, I mean, we are in downtown,
in downtown Atlanta.
There are there are a lot
of things that happen.
Students say they hope these
measures will keep them safe
should a shooting happen. Back
to you all. We've told you about the
Kia boys trend that targets owners
of certain Kia and Hyundai cars.
Well, now there is a solution to
keep those cars from being stolen.
The car companies now say there's a
software patch that makes them harder
to steal and makes it so the cars
has to be unlocked before it starts.
The car alarm will also go off for
a minute instead of 30 seconds.
That patch will be installed for free.
Well, today at noon
we're looking at temperatures in the 60s.
We'll have mostly cloudy skies.
There could be an isolated sprinkle around.
Leave at 63 degrees for your
temperature by then going up
to 68 for an afternoon high.
Some spots will hit the 70 degree mark.
Still looking at those isolated showers
around even as you're driving home by 6,
looking at temperatures
right around 66 degrees.
Alright, way to end the show.
Always, always right spots to end US,
hotspots to end us. All right,
today's show is coming up next.
We'll see you back here tomorrow morning
and hope you have a great day everybody.
