Body of missing NC teen found in Florida, family says
SUMMARY: The body of missing North Carolina teen Gio Gio was found in Bradenton, Florida, confirmed by his family. Originally, Gio Gio was supposed to be picked up by relatives after meeting cousins in Florida, but he disappeared after texting his mother for help. His family’s private investigators, not the police, discovered his body near I-75 after police had initially searched the area. Gio Gio’s mother expressed her heartbreak on Facebook, calling it every parent’s worst nightmare. The investigation continues, focusing on the timeline after Gio Gio entered the car with his cousins. An autopsy is pending, with no immediate signs of foul play.
The body of Giovanni Pelletier was found in a retention pond, authorities said, and his mom is living “every parent’s worst nightmare.”

‘Highballed’: Data shows tax assessment inequalities affecting longtime homeowners
SUMMARY: Longtime homeowners in historically Black neighborhoods like Hillsborough face disproportionate property tax burdens compared to wealthier, mostly white areas nearby. Beverly Walton, a 66-year resident of Renshaw Street, inherited her home but struggles to afford rising taxes despite no renovations. Her house, valued lower than newer homes, is taxed at a higher rate, leading to financial strain on fixed incomes. Data from Wake, Durham, and Orange counties reveal majority nonwhite neighborhoods pay about $9 more per $100,000 in home value, despite lower average home prices. Advocates call for fairer assessments to prevent pricing out longtime residents amid regional growth.

Two deaths, sinkholes, downed trees: The impacts of severe flooding in Triangle
SUMMARY: Severe flooding in the Triangle region has caused two deaths, sinkholes, and downed trees. In Nash County, 55-year-old Raymond Evans Jr. and 24-year-old Lahie Alustin died after their minivan was swept into a ravine. Evans heroically tried to save Alustin after police efforts failed. A memorial has grown at the site. In Apex, heavy rain caused a sinkhole on Olive Chapel Road, collapsing a section already slated for repairs. Town officials are working with the Department of Transportation to expedite repairs, possibly earlier than the initially expected November timeline. Residents face detours and ongoing disruptions.
WRAL is tracking the impact of severe flooding that occurred all through Wednesday. Rain will continue on-and-off on Thursday, and it could be heavy at times.
