« Church offers reward in murder of businessman »

A week ago I blogged about the murder of Dekalb businessman Marc Stewart.  Mr. Stewart's church, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, is offering a reward of $10,000 "for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder of Marc A. Stewart."  From the church's press release:

Stewart was a faithful member of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia and a well known DeKalb county record company executive. “We offer our deepest sympathy and support to Stewart’s family and pray that God will comfort their pain and sorrow during this time of deep grief,” says Bishop Eddie L. Long, senior pastor, New Birth Church. “We are hopeful that the reward offer will assist investigators in finding justice for the Stewart family and send a message to the community that the killing must stop.” Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Gwinnett County Police Department Criminal Investigations Division at (770) 513-5300 or call anonymously on the Gwinnett County Police Department’s tip line at (770) 513-5390. The public should not contact New Birth Church with information about the investigation.

I would also add that, if you have information, please do not contact the Buzz either.  (I only note this because I received a couple emails seeking help with residents' garbage bills last month.)
