LOCUST GROVE — Kroger officially opened its $39 million Locust Grove Marketplace on Friday, bringing a 123,000-square-foot grocery store, a 20-pump fuel center and 300 jobs to the Henry County community. Tammie Young-Ennaemba, head of communications and public affairs for Kroger’s Atlanta Division, explained why Locust Grove was a destination for the national grocery chain. “It's always a great opportunity to bring a grocery store into communities that are growing and vibrant as it relates to customers and just the economy in general,” Young-Ennaemba said. The store is the first Atlanta Division marketplace to have a 20-pump fuel center with a convenience store. The store also features a mural created by the University of Georgia's "Color the World Bright" team. Departments include fresh produce, bakery, deli, meat, household, toy and apparel departments.

Whitetails Unlimited donates to youth hunting program

The Butts County Sheriff’s Office recently received a $16,000 donation from Whitetails Unlimited to support the Sheriff’s annual Busting Bucks Youth Hunting Program. Randy Milford, of Whitetails Unlimited, presented the check to Butts County Sheriff Gary Long. The donation will help buy equipment, improve the children's hunting experiences and ensure the program continues making a positive impact on local youth. “This is a tremendous blessing for our program,” said Long. “We depend on generous individuals and organizations willing to invest in our children. It is especially encouraging to know that an organization like Whitetails Unlimited recognizes the impact this program is having on our youth and is willing to invest in its future. This support allows us to provide even greater opportunities and make a lasting difference in these children's lives.” The Busting Bucks program provides at least 16 local children each year with an opportunity to experience hunting and the outdoors while learning wildlife conservation, safety, responsibility and mentorship. Many of these children might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate. The youth hunting program was created in 2022 by Long who was taught to hunt by his father. The sheriff realized that not all children have experienced the

The Henry County District Attorney’s Office announced that on Nov. 2, Kiyana Jawaan Moses was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for felony murder, plus an additional five years to be served consecutively for possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony that took the life of a 29-year-old Henry County man. Moses was convicted on Aug. 27, 2026, in connection to the Oct. 8, 2021 fatal shooting. The DA’s Office said that Moses traveled from Atlanta to Stockbridge to visit his girlfriend, who shared a residence with the victim and another roommate. During his visit, a verbal argument erupted after Moses began demanding that the residents complete household chores, although Moses did not live at the residence.

The unarmed victim attempted to flee, but Moses chased him and opened fire, shooting him five times, including twice in the head. Following the
