WBFF Fox 45 :: Family in Mourning After 17-year-old is Gunned Down
Metro Police are looking for a killer driving a gold car tonight. They say it was used in a shooting that left a 17 year old dead in Bordeaux. That car was spotted outside Demarcus Jordan-Ellis' home shortly before he was killed. Police believe the teen knew the people inside the vehicle and invited them in his home. That's where he was gunned down.

"To me, it's very important that anybody who may know a piece of information will let us know, because it's someone he knew and he trusted," says cousin Tee Jordan. "That's horrible to trust somebody and they take your life."

We're told the teen is a student at Hillsboro High, but he's been on suspension. His family is now offering a $2000 reward in the case.Family in Mourning After 17-year-old is Gunned Down

Tennessee recoups unemployment benefits
May 22, 2013 20:26 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- State Labor Department officials say they have recouped about $15.3 million worth of fraudulently collected unemployment benefits by garnishing tax refunds and other federal payments to people who were not entitled to receive the assistance.

A scathing audit released earlier this year showed that the state overpaid $73 million in unemployment benefits. The overpayments were the result of both fraud and errors at the Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The audit was especially critical of the department's method for recouping fraudulent benefits.

Acting Department of Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner Burns Phillips said in a statement that the ability to reclaim fraudulently collected unemployment benefits is critical to the business community. He said the department is focused on developing strategies to prevent people from wrongfully collecting the assistance.
