Drive By Shooting
Report from neighbor:
I just wanted to let the neighborhood know that last night at approximately 2:30 a.m. there was a drive-by shooting on the corner of Spring and Cherry Streets. There were four (maybe five) shots fired with one bullet entering the house and breaking a window. No one was hurt, but someone definitely could have been. We did not see/hear anything before or after the incident, but maybe a neighbor did? Hopefully this was a random occurrence, but everyone should be aware that it happened and on the lookout.

More Party House Problems and Graffiti
Despite complaints last week, party house problems persisted this weekend on both the 400 block of S. Laurel and 400 block of S. Cherry.
According to one neighbor:
“They had another huge loud party last night. (VCU Police) Officer Felton and RPD went out last week and spoke to them. It made no impact, since just a few days later they were back to it.”
In addition to more litter this morning, blue paint graffiti tags were found nearby:

Fence Vandalized On Idlewood
There have been a few complaints about some incidents this past weekend, this being one of them:
This week, there is an article in the VCU Commonwealth Times, where VCU Police Chief Venuti is quoted,
“A lot of times, people exiting a party will draw out attention. Even if you are registered, if people are leaving, (ed. note: emphasis added by me) smashing things, fighting or peeing all over the place, we come into the picture,” Venuti said.
