Morning Briefing: Who Was Luca Garovi?

Here's what's happening in Canton this Wednesday.

1. Weather: The National Weather Service is predicting mostly sunny skies for Canton today, with a high temperature of 53 degrees. Tonight, expect mostly clear skies and a low temperature of 28 degrees.

2. In Case You Missed It: The suspected killer of Canton resident Zachary Rose has been apprehended by the U.S. Marhal's Service with the cooperation of Fulton County law enforcement. Shane Demetrice Woods had fled to multiple states in the southeast before returning to Georgia, where he was arrested.

3. Happening Now: Contrary to rumors that have been posted on Facebook and Twitter, the alleged attempted child abductor from last week has yet to be caught. Once Canton-Sixes Patch is notified of an arrest, we will let the public know.

4. Looking Ahead: Come back at 3 p.m. to put a face and a life to the young man who was tragically killed on Interstate 575 on Sunday afternoon. Luca Garovi led a very full 28 years of life, and should be remembered as a person and not an accident victim.

5. On This Date in History: On March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese is murdered by an assailant in Queens, NY. Despite several people hearing Kitty's cries for help as she was being attacked, nobody called the police or tried to help her. The non-reaction by Kitty's neighbors spurred interest from psychologists, who dubbed it the "bystander effect," or "Genovese syndrome."
