Good morning, Chesapeake.

Families of three Walmart employees killed in a 2022 shooting on Sam's Circle will receive over $6 million in settlements approved last October and November—court records show the families of Tyneka Johnson and Brian Pendleton each got over $1.7 million and the family of Fernando Chavez-Barron received over $2.6 million, which releases Walmart from further claims.

At Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, kidney transplant recipient Fraser—a survivor of a six-year wait—said she now feels a new lease on life after her transplant in 2018 and urged residents to register as organ donors during National Donate Life Month.

Her good friend Joey Colasito donated his organs before he died from a hemorrhagic stroke in 2021 and helped save six lives.
