56-year-old motorcyclist killed in collision in Catawba County, NC Highway Patrol says

YOU CAN REGISTER TO RECEIVE IT. Good morning and thank you for joining us. I AM STAR CONNOR ALONGSIDE DYLAN BUTLER AND DYLAN. We’ve seen images of the Northern Lights come in and out. OH, I mean, are you kidding me? THIS IS NORTH CAROLINA AT ITS BEAUTY. I NEVER THOUGHT IN MY LIFE THAT WE COULD SEE THEM. This is clear and so pronounced and I’m sure for most people it was the first time they had seen her. THIS JUST DOESN’T HAPPEN OFTEN IN NORTH CAROLINA. IF YOU HAVE A LONG EXPOSURE CAMERA THE CHANCE OF SEEING IT TONIGHT IS SLIM, BUT THE VIEW TRULY WAS SO SPECTACULAR LAST NIGHT. DIANA BEST AND PILOT MOUNTAIN SEND THIS PHOTO AND SO MANY OTHERS ALSO SEND THEIR PICTURES. Also take a look at NEIL STANFIELD’s light columns in PILOT MOUNTAIN. SEE PILOT MOUNTAIN THERE. THE SILHOUETTE IN THE FRONT OR BACKGROUND ON THE HORIZON. So it was just a beautiful night. CERTAINLY UNFORGETTABLE FOR MANY OF US. WHEN YOU VIEW THE NORTHERN LIGHTS FROM YOUR BACKYARD, IT’S A COOL START. You’ve probably noticed that it’s still pretty cool out there and the air is really dry if you’re out early this morning looking at the lights, for some of us in our 40s, but most of us in our 50s now. That’s why it feels so fresh and refreshing. The dew points are in the 40s, a few days ago they were in the 60s, so a big drop in humidity for us and really all of the Carolines are feeling nice and comfortable now. BLUE SKY. YOU WILL BE CLEAR FOR A WHILE. A few additional clouds will roll in later today. THANKS TO A DISTURBANCE NOW MOVED THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES, THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL NOT MOVE QUITE MUCH, BUT THE COLD FRONT WILL START SWINGING SOUTH AND EAST TOWARD OUR REGION. There will be a few more clouds this afternoon. Maybe it’s the low chance of a rain shower or an isolated shower. BUT MOST OF US ARE DRY TODAY. It’s going to be a wonderful day. LOW HUMIDITY, HIGH IN THE LOW 70’S IN THE PIEDMONT TRIAD. EVEN FUTURECAST DON’T RECEIVE MUCH BUT THEY SEE A FEW BLIPS TURNING UP ON THE RADAR LATER TONIGHT. ONLY SHORT LIGHT RAIN POSSIBLE. And from then on we dry out. MOTHER’S DAY LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. I’ll be with you hour by hour, helping you plan all those outdoor activities with your mom and looking at the changes the weather will bring over the next week. EVERYTHING WILL BE THERE IN A FEW MINUTES. IN ORDER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DYLAN, A MAN WAS ARRESTED AFTER A SHOOTING LAST WEEK IN HIGH POINT. LORENZO AGUILAR faces multiple charges, including three counts of assault with a deadly weapon. Last week, a 19-year-old male officer told officers that someone fired shots at his vehicle in the area of ​​VALLEY RIDGE DRIVE and NATHAN HUNT DRIVE. THE VICTIM WAS NOT HURT AND POLICE SAID AT THE TIME OF HIS ARREST, AGUILAR WAS ON PAROLE FOR A SEPARATE CASE IN 2022 AND A HIGH MAN WAS CHARGED WITH SEX CRIMES AND SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN. 63-year-old Ricky Vernon was arrested by police and the FBI. VERNON IS CHARGED WITH THREE COUNTS OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF A MINOR AND THREE COUNTS OF POSSESSION OF A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION. ADDITIONAL CHARGES ARE EXPECTED IN WINSTON SALEM. Police are searching for a driver who sped off after a crash at Vargrave Street and Hill Street. Investigators told us two vehicles were involved and injuries occurred, but did not specify the extent of those injuries. SONYA NELSON’S SON TERRY ALDRIDGE WAS shot dead at a supermarket on Martin Luther King Junior Drive in Greensboro in 2017 amid a tear-filled plea from a mother who had lost her son to gun violence. He later died in hospital, with no arrest and no new leads. Governor Cooper announced an increase in the cash prize, which resulted in an arrest in that car. CHRIS PETERSON TALKS TO THE MOTHER AND SHE COMES TO US NOW TO TALK ABOUT HER HELPING WITH THE PLEA. I miss him, I miss my Sonya, says Nelson, she thinks about her son every day. YOUR SMILE AND LAUGH ARE GONE. HE WAS FUNNY. UH. He loved the family. He had three children. Um, he actually just had a grandchild. ABBY NELSON SAYS SHE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE HOSPITAL IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF JANUARY 14, 2017, AND HER EXPERIENCE HER SON WAS ADOPTED. We went to the emergency room and were told he needed to have surgery. Um, and he made it out of the operation thanks to their investigation, Greensboro police saw all red on the surveillance video at the supermarket as he was charging his phone. He later walked away and approached a car in the parking lot. They saw him, um, drive to a car or something, and when he did, they, um, pulled the camera back. He was lying on the floor. SINCE HER SON’S DEATH, NELSON joined “Mothers STANDING AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE,” a support group for victims’ families. She says it helps her heal because I hope I can help the next person. Now Nelson is hoping for justice, just a little closure. I mean, it’s not the best news because he’s still gone, but at least I know someone, um, is paying for it. According to Greensboro police, there were people who witnessed Allred’s murder and they hoped this now $30,000 reward would convince someone with information to come forward
