2 Timothy 3:16-17 | NLT
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Prince George’s County police are still searching for a motive in the murder of a pregnant woman. Three suspects in custody charged with the brutal crime.
Charged with murder is 21-year-old Malik Johnson of SE, DC. He is accused of being the gunman and faces first and second degree murder charges. His brother Michael Johnson, thought to be the baby’s father, was charged with accessory after the fact for allegedly helping Malik Johnson avoid arrest. 23-year-old Bianca McDuffie is also facing the same charge. The trio was arrested at McDuffie’s SW, DC home. They are pending extradition.
Police are still searching for the motive in the shooting. While Quinones died of her injuries, the doctors were able to save her baby girl who remains in critical condition. The other woman injured in that shooting is said to be out of the hospital.
Meantime, family members and friends held a vigil last evening to remember Quinones and to pray for her baby girl.

“Nothing is off limits on Ladies Night!”
Ladies Night is always fun with the Ladies of WHUR… But, this is one for the books.
It all started when Angela suggested to Nina Brown that they were gonna “hook her up” with a dating profile.
She and Autumn Joi asked Nina what her preferences are in a guy… Okay… everything was going smoothly…
Nina said she’s 6 ft tall and doesn’t mind dating someone taller or shorter. As long as they have confidence.
But then, our very own “shock jock” Autumn took the reigns and said there were some other… very specific requirements the man should most definitely have. LOL
We all laughed so hard that we’re still posting and laughing about it today. I’m not gonna spoil it for you. Check it out for yourself… and be sure not to miss the next Ladies Night!

A special after verdict interview
Listent to this mornings segment here:
The U.S. economy is gaining steam with more and more Americans filing fewer jobless claims.
Experts say the new figures show the nation’s recovery is gaining steam fueling the economy is rebounding as coronavirus vaccinations pick up and stimulus chicks continue to hit bank accounts.
On a less than bright note, poverty rose to 11.7 percent in March. Researchers from the University of Chicago say that’s the highest level of the pandemic. 
Additionally, the economy has not been as kind to women. Figures show although the U.S. economy added 916,0000 positions last month, only one third of those jobs were gained by women. The National Women’s Law Center says women would need as much as 15 months of job gains at last month’s levels to recover the nearly 5 million net jobs lost since last February.
How do we build a financial legacy?

By ELAINE GANLEY Associated Press
PARIS (AP) — The guilty verdict in the trial over George Floyd’s death was not just celebrated in America. It signaled hope for those seeking racial justice and fighting police brutality on the other side of the Atlantic, where Black Lives Matter has also become a rallying cry. The fight is far from over, activists in Britain and France said Wednesday, after a Minneapolis jury found ex-police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts of murder and manslaughter in the May death of Floyd. “The name of George Floyd today brings this hope, this hope of a country that listens to its people,” said Assa Traore, a leading voice among those fighting alleged police brutality in France.
The FTC has issued another warning to watch out for vaccine scams.
This time, it’s a simple one: COVID-19 vaccine shots are free – so if someone tries to charge you money for one, it’s a scam.
The agency encourages you to ignore any online ads or social media posts offering to sell you the vaccine, and warns never to share personal or medical information with people you don’t know.
State and local health departments are the most reliable way to find a vaccine shot. All U.S. adults are eligible to receive the vaccine as of this week.
Have you encountered any vaccine-related scams?
What is next in the fight for racial and social justice?
U.S. Justice Department is set to launch a sweeping investigation into police practices in Minneapolis.
Reports this morning indicate Attorney General Merrick Garland will make the announcement later today. The probe reportedly will examine practices used by police and whether the department engages in discriminatory practices. The move comes in the wake of President Biden’s pledge that his administration will not rest following the Chauvin verdict. Biden yesterday called the guilty decision at great step and went on to urge Congress to approve the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act.
The DOJ investigation will look at the Minneapolis police department’s handling of misconduct allegations. It’s not yet clear how far back the probe will go.

The trial, the verdict and what may be ahead.
Calling systemic racism a stain on our nation’s soul, President Biden and Vice President Harris are urging Congress to act swiftly to address policing reform.
Vice President Kamala Harris spoke before Biden’s remarks and said lawmakers now need to take action in passing the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act. “Today, we feel a sigh of relief. Still, it cannot take away the pain. A measure of justice is not the same as equal justice,” Harris said.
Biden said he was heartened by the jury’s verdict. Nothing can ever bring their brother, their father back, but this can be a giant step forward in the march towards justice in America,” Biden said.
President Biden and Vice President Harris were reported to have watched the verdict from the Private Dining Room in the White House. A senior administration officials described the reaction as a collective exhale.
After 10 hours of deliberations, jurors find Derek Chauvin guilty on all three counts
The 12-member panel of six White, four Black, and two multiracial persons found the former Minneapolis police officer guilty on all three counts of 2nd degree murder, third degree murder, and manslaughter charges in the death of George Floyd last May 25th.
Following weeks of testimony from both sides and watching that infamous video of Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes, jurors sided with the prosecution in finding Chauvin guilty of causing the death of Floyd.
Chauvin will be sentenced within next 8 weeks. His bail has been revoked and he was handcuffed and taken off to jail.
“Believe your eyes. What you saw, you saw,” the words of special prosecutor Steve Schleicher told the jury yesterday during closing arguments. Prosecutors described Chauvin as arrogant and intent on winning without any care or compassion for Floyd.
But on the defense side. Chauvin attorney Eric Nelson countered the prosecution’s arguments telling jurors to look at the totality of the circumstances and not just the 9-minutes and 29-seconds the prosecution continued to hammer on. Nelson accused prosecutors of trying to mislead the panel.
Chauvin faced murder and manslaughter charges.
Second-degree intentional murder carries up to 40 years behind bars, third degree murder would land Chauvin 25 years in prison and second degree manslaughter careers a 10 year prison term. Sentencing guidelines call for far less time, including 12 1/2 years on either of the murder counts.
Jurors have decided the fate of the ex-Minneapolis police officer.
