Story 1. Teen
The Gwinnett County police in Georgia are searching for a teenager named Christian Houston in connection with the shooting death of a man named Rodrell Dobson. Dobson was shot and killed at a residence on Roseberry Lane during a confrontation on Sunday. The police initially believed it was a domestic dispute, but the exact nature of the dispute and the motive for the shooting remain unclear. The SWAT Team was activated due to a possible barricaded gunman inside the home, but it was later discovered that Houston had left. Houston, who is also wanted for a separate battery charge, is now facing charges of felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of certain crimes. The police are asking the public for any information on Houston's whereabouts and have provided contact details for tips and rewards.............for more on this developing story, check in at gwinnettdailypost.com
