| Man murdered in drive-by shooting
A man was shot dead on Wednesday night by an unknown assailant while walking on Maxey Drive, Dyersburg Police said. The man, whose identity had not been confirmed by police as of posting, was reported to have been killed by a drive-by shooting at about 10:53 p.m., said DPD spokesman Capt. Steve Isbell, from a 911 call made from a neighbor's residence. Witnesses described the dead person as a young black man with a short fade haircut. He was wearing a black pullover sweater, black jeans and black shoes when he was shot near the parking lot curb in front of the 1500 block of Maxey Drive. Neighbors in the public housing units next to and adjacent to the site of the murder reported hearing a single gun shot before looking outside to see the man flat on his back. Police arrived and immediately began to attempt to resuscitate the fallen man, who witnesses said was unconscious and taking shallow breaths.
Car crash yielded passion
When Ange Trahern looked in the mirror at age 17, a beautiful teen stared back. A year later, the reflection wasn't as kind. A scar snaked from her right eyelid to the corner of her mouth, a stamp of a car crash that injured the Burlington native. "It was devastating - absolutely devastating" says Trahern, now 31. Trahern underwent multiple surgeries over a year and a half. She became a skin-care junkie, trying nearly every product on the market in hopes of helping her skin heal. She spent a lot of time in front of the mirror. "What I realized is women every day go through an emotional process every time they look in the mirror and they're not happy with their skin," she said. The crash led Trahern into the skin-care industry, where she's spent the past nine years developing and marketing skin-care products.
