🌱 New Details On Taco Mac Shooting + Cobb County Wind Advisory

Hello, everyone. It's me, Danielle Fallon-O'Leary, your host of the Smyrna-Vinings Daily — back in your inbox with everything you need to know about what's happening in our community.

But first, today's weather:

Some rain and a thunderstorm. High: 62 Low: 36.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Smyrna-Vinings who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Smyrna-Vinings today:

1. Yesterday, police released details on what led to a shooting outside a Taco Mac. Police identified the victim as 24-year-old Larry Miller and the suspect as Peter Lampley — both of whom worked at Taco Mac. Miller was found outside of the restaurant suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He later succumbed to his injuries. (MDJOnline.com)
2. Powerful winds are expected through today in Cobb County. The 40 mph wind advisory will be in effect until tonight, as these winds could cause scattered damage and power outages. As with any heightened weather condition, prepare with battery-powered radio and flashlights, secure outside furniture, and avoid interacting with downed power lines. (MDJOnline.com)
