Action News 5 Staff Opinion: Future Forecasters

I was out Saturday morning meeting friends for breakfast at a local restaurant. 

While there I noticed out of the corner of my eye a young girl snapping a picture in our direction and then walking out the door. 

A couple of minutes later a woman approached me and asked if I'd mind taking a picture with her daugther.  As it turns out it was the young girl I'd just seen. 

Her name is Lauren Suiter a student a Woodland Elementary and an aspiring meteorologist.  Even though I wasn't wearing my typical weatherman attire, Lauren recognized me and it was me she was taking the picture of!  I'm so happy that she and her mom returned because it gave us a chance to chat about her interest in weather and her future as a meteorologist. I think it's wonderful that kids start thinking about a career while young.  

Easter service remembers murdered teen

A University of Memphis sophomore who fell victim to a fatal stabbing outside of Mexican restaurant was remembered at his church during Easter services Sunday.

MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) - A University of Memphis sophomore who fell victim to a fatal stabbing outside of Mexican restaurant was remembered at his church during Easter services Sunday.

The tragic death of 19-year-old Aaron Vasquez was on a lot of church members' minds at St. Ann Catholic Church .

"He's in a better place, even though it was a horrible tragedy as to what happened," said church member Scott Casey.

Vasquez died a week ago when he was stabbed at work emptying trash in the back of El Toro Loco. Cordricus Arnold, 19, is the suspect charged in the fatal stabbing. He is now in police custody.

Church members said while the case will still have to be proven in court, there is some comfort in knowing that a suspect has been taken into custody.

"I think it will help, probably help, with the healing process and knowing that some justice could be coming soon," said Casey.
