Police Identify 21-Year-Old Killed in Hit-and-Run Near Osborne High

In a tragic event early Saturday morning near Osborne High School, Marietta faced a somber moment as a young life was cut short. Cobb Police have confirmed the identity of the 21-year-old victim, Maria Perez Gonzalez, of Marietta, who was involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash on Austell Road.

The incident unfolded at approximately 5:30 a.m. when Gonzalez was crossing at a marked crosswalk. A white 2014 Ford Econoline, heading northbound, first struck Gonzalez with the driver's side mirror. The force of the impact projected her onto the roadway, where a following Chrysler, also traveling north, tragically struck her again. Gonzalez was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

The Chrysler driver, identified as 49-year-old Marietta resident John Anderson, was not injured and remained at the scene to cooperate with authorities. However, the driver of the Ford van fled the scene without stopping to render aid or contacting law enforcement.

Cobb Police's search for the Ford driver continues, with Officer Aaron Wilson urging anyone with information about the crash to come forward. Cobb Police is reaching out to the community for assistance at 770-499-3987.

STORY 1: Georgia Bio Names Harrison Student the Georgia BioGENEius Runner-Up

Eugene Kang, a sophomore at Harrison High School, was named the runner-up in the 2024 Georgia BioGENEius Challenge. His research focused on the anticarcinogenic effects of an extract from the Perfoliate Bellwort plant on human uveal melanoma cells. Kang's study showed a decrease in cell viability and efficacy compared to a control cytotoxic agent. This research marks an early exploration of natural biologics for cancer treatment, with potential for fewer side effects than traditional methods. Judges from various biotech companies awarded Kang a cash prize sponsored by Evans General Contractors. Further research is needed to determine the extract's effectiveness and concentration consistency.

STORY 2: Cobb Commissioners Satisfied with Private Trash Haulers

Cobb County Chairwoman Lisa Cupid stated that there are no plans to reintroduce a proposal to overhaul trash collection in the county, attributing this decision to improvements made by private trash hauling companies, resulting in fewer resident complaints. In 2022, the county faced issues with shoddy service, prompting the scrapped proposal to create four trash pickup zones. Since then, the county has collaborated with haulers to address concerns. Brian Warren, president of Garbage Haulers of Cobb County, reported a decline in complaints and highlighted the association's role in facilitating communication between haulers and residents. While some challenges persist, such as recruiting staff and obtaining truck parts, the current framework is deemed satisfactory. Cupid emphasized the importance of monitoring haulers' performance and promoting the association's website to facilitate communication.
