KENNESAW, Ga. -- An Acworth man pleaded guilty Monday to his part in a gang-related shooting.

Alexander Market, 19, was convicted of three counts of violating Georgia's Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.

Prosecutors said Market and four codefendants shot at a house in Kennesaw's Legacy Park subdivision on Jan. 12, 2014. Several people were inside the house, but no one was hurt.

The shooting was in retaliation to a young man's decision to leave the Piru Bloods gang, according to prosecutors.

KENNESAW, Ga. -- A Florida man has been charged with racketeering in a million-dollar diamond heist in Cobb County.

Osniel Labrada-Guillen was indicted Thursday by a Cobb County Grand Jury. He faces two counts of violating the Georgia RICO Act.

The burglary happened between Jan. 13 and Jan. 14, 2010, at Diamonds R Forever on Wade Green Road in Kennesaw. According to the investigation, someone cut holes in the store's roof, disabled the phone and alarm systems, broke into a safe and stole more than $1 million worth of jewelry.

Police later found a plastic bin filled with items taken in the burglary. DNA was recovered from a plastic spoon found inside the bin, but did not immediately help police identify a suspect.
