Following fatal shooting of teen, some Prince George’s Co. residents will get free home security cameras

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:27:18 GMT

Earlier this year, the Prince George’s County Council passed a new law called the “Jayz Law,” in honor of 13-year-old Jayz Agnew, who was shot and killed while raking leaves in the front yard of his Temple Hills, Maryland, home almost a year ago.No one on his street had any home security cameras pointed outside, and the teenager’s killers have still not been found.The law aims to provide county residents with rebates if they install new cameras and store the footage, with the goal of helping police by providing video of crimes. Initial concerns about funding were resolved and the county budgeted $250,000 for the program.Months later, the program still hasn’t launched yet and it’s not clear when it will. Now, some members of the county council are taking matters into their own hands.On Friday, District 7 Council member Krystal Oriadha announced she had secured a grant with a nonprofit group called Community on the Frontlines, which will be providin...

The Polish player made just four unforced errors in the first set, keeping consistent pressure on Gauff’s serve, and made a decisive break at 3-1 to ease through the set in 40 minutes.Swiatek maintained her vice-like grip on the match, breaking Gauff at the start of the second set to lead 2-0. A medical timeout to have Gauff’s right shoulder assessed didn’t break Swiatek’s momentum as she closed it out to extend her head-to-head record against her rival to 8-1. “I’m really happy with my performance,” Swiatek said. “It...
