    A routine traffic stop in Douglas County led to a shocking discovery—a 21-year-old man found dead in the passenger seat. According to the sheriff’s office, Malachi A. Mitchell was shot during a struggle inside the vehicle before deputies unknowingly pulled over the driver. Investigators revealed that Mitchell had arranged to meet the driver, someone he knew, to sell a gun.

    The transaction reportedly went as planned, but an altercation broke out moments later. The driver, armed with a separate firearm, shot Mitchell. In a state of panic, the driver continued driving and called someone for advice, fearing he had been set up and was being followed. Deputies stopped the vehicle shortly after the call, uncovering Mitchell’s body.

    The driver, who was not identified, cooperated with law enforcement and was released. No arrests have been made, and investigators are still determining whether the shooting was self-defence or a criminal act. Mitchell’s family is demanding answers and is frustrated by the lack of immediate charges.

    Meanwhile, authorities are also investigating threats made against the driver and his family by a local gang. The sheriff’s office urges patience as detectives gather evidence to decide what happens next.

    Operations at the DeKalb County Courthouse are set to resume as usual on Friday, following a tense morning lockdown on Thursday. A suspicious package found inside the building triggered an evacuation and an hours-long investigation. The package, discovered in the Superior Court Clerk’s Office, prompted swift action from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office and courthouse marshals.

    Decatur Fire responded to assess the situation, eventually determining that the envelope contained a green, gel-like substance. Officials later confirmed that the contents were non-hazardous. Investigators traced the envelope back to a prison inmate, though it remains unclear if the sender intended harm.

    Authorities are now working to identify individuals who could face criminal charges. The courthouse reopened Thursday afternoon after the threat was ruled out, and officials expect no further disruptions. For now, it’s business as usual—but with heightened awareness of unusual mail deliveries.

    Authorities evacuated the entire building, including nearby businesses, taking no chances as K-9 units swept the area for any potential danger. Given the size of the building, multiple dogs were deployed to conduct a thorough search.

    After an extensive investigation, police found no explosives and cleared the scene, allowing businesses to reopen. Homeland Security is now working to trace the source of the call. Atlantic Station’s management later confirmed that the entertainment district was safe, allowing stores and restaurants to resume business.

    Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is making waves across federal agencies, with its latest stop at the Atlanta headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday. According to The Washington Post, DOGE representatives requested a list of employees who have been on the job for less than a year or are still on probation.

    The timing raised eyebrows as the visit coincided with a protest near the Georgia State Capitol, where demonstrators rallied against actions taken by both President Donald Trump and Musk.

    DOGE, formed through an executive order on Trump’s first day in office, replaced the U.S. Digital Service and is tasked with modernizing federal technology while cutting wasteful spending.

    Though not an official agency, its members hold special government employee status, allowing them to access sensitive data upon request. Initially focused on USAID, DOGE has expanded to agencies like the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Labor Department, where protests erupted this week following Musk’s involvement.

    Trump addressed concerns earlier this week, assuring that Musk operates under White House oversight, stating, “Elon can’t do and won’t do anything without our approval.”

    The Atlanta Hawks are desperate to end their five-game home losing streak, but they’ll have their hands full against a strong Milwaukee Bucks team. Atlanta has performed well against Eastern Conference teams, but defensive struggles have haunted them.

    The Hawks allow 119.2 points per game, a stat they’ll need to fix against Milwaukee’s high-powered offence. However, his availability remains uncertain due to injury concerns.

    Sitting near the top of the East, the Bucks have been solid defensively, ranking second in the league in defensive rebounds. Giannis Antetokounmpo, averaging nearly a double-double, continues to dominate, while Damian Lillard has stepped up in recent games.

    Atlanta’s offence leans heavily on Trae Young, who is dishing out over 11 assists per game. However, recent struggles are evident, with the team winning just one of its last ten games.

    In contrast, the Bucks have split their last ten, maintaining a solid scoring average. Injuries add another challenge for Atlanta, with key players like Capela and Bogdan Bogdanovic listed as day-to-day.

    Authorities later confirmed that the condo had been cleared, and no one was injured during the incident. Residents in the area weren’t entirely surprised by the heavy police presence.

    Some claimed officers had been at the same location earlier in the week, though details remain unclear. Despite the initial commotion, police assured the public there was no ongoing threat to the neighborhood. Officials have yet to release further details, but more updates are expected as the investigation continues.

    restaurants close in West Midtown atlanta

    Something is happening in Atlanta’s West Midtown, and it’s not good news for food lovers. In just a few weeks, 11 restaurants have closed, from pizza joints to beloved breakfast spots. The sudden wave of shutdowns has left residents and business owners wondering what’s behind the trend.

    Locals have been caught off guard, noticing their favorite eateries boarded up without warning. The uncertainty has many worried about the area’s future, especially with more bars and restaurants rumored on the chopping block.

    Some fear that the closures could impact the neighborhood’s appeal, especially in mixed-use developments where retail spaces are meant to complement residential living. Business owners are feeling the impact, too.

    Longtime establishments that have weathered ups and downs say the recent closures hit differently—like watching a domino effect unfold in real-time. Rising costs appear to be a major factor, with rent hikes, skyrocketing insurance rates, and inflated food prices putting immense pressure on restaurant operators.

    Georgia Lawmakers Introduces Bill To Force Atlanta To House Fulton County Inmates

    Fulton County Jail

    Georgia lawmakers are pushing for a solution to the persistent overcrowding at Fulton County Jail, but not everyone is on board. A bill advancing in the state Senate would force Atlanta to let the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office use the city jail at maintenance cost. Overcrowding has plagued Fulton County’s jail system, with 32 deaths reported in custody since 2021.

    The county currently uses about 350 beds at the Atlanta City Detention Center under a limited agreement despite being allowed up to 700. A federal investigation into jail conditions exposed unconstitutional treatment, excessive force, and severe neglect, especially for mentally ill detainees.

    This led to a court-enforced agreement in January to improve conditions. County officials have long wanted to take control of the city jail, arguing it would help ease overcrowding and better separate detainees based on risk levels. However, Atlanta’s mayor has rejected transferring ownership.

    Critics warn that state intervention oversteps local governance and fails to address systemic mismanagement. Criminal justice advocates argue that reducing unnecessary detentions and expanding alternative programs would be more effective than simply adding more jail beds. The bill’s future remains uncertain, but it has sparked heated debate over handling Fulton County’s troubled jail system.

    Police Find Massive Opioid Stash in Carrollton Man’s Home

    A Carrollton man is facing serious drug charges after police uncovered a massive stash of opioid pills inside his home. Authorities say 70-year-old Victor North was operating a pill mill, selling prescription drugs out of his residence. After weeks of investigation, officers executed a search warrant last week and discovered more than 1,700 pills, including oxycodone, hydrocodone, and tramadol.

    Alongside the drugs, police also found a firearm and a large amount of cash. North, a convicted felon, now faces multiple charges, including the sale of a Schedule II drug, possession with intent to distribute, and illegal firearm possession.

    Jail records indicate he spent six days in custody before securing a $10,000 bond. The case remains under investigation, and authorities are working to determine the full scope of North’s alleged operation.
