   Richmond Police have arrested 19-year-old Karriem Brown of the 1100 block of Mt. Erin Drive.

   The RTD has a piece on this, too:

   Yesterday’s incident again drew police to the Fulton Hill area, even as a small contingent of neighbors began a protest against crime.

   “We’re here to say that we want the thugs out. We are not putting up with this anymore,” said Shirley Jackson, who joined neighbors to protest increased criminal activity on the Goddin Court cul-de-sac a block from the pool. The activist neighbors call themselves the Fulton Seven.

   Jackson said she saw possible suspects in a shooting incident Monday streak by her home, which sits on a street of prim, 30-year-old houses.

   On summer nights, though, the street swarms with drug dealers and prostitutes, attracting up to 200 vehicles a night, Jackson said.

   “No one is doing anything about it and if I have to die, I’m going to die for something” important, she said, explaining her outspokenness.

   With fewer than a dozen homes and a striking view of City Hall, Goddin Court is a block long. Neighborhood children are kept off the street day and night, and residents there say criminal activity is spilling into the broader Fulton Hill neighborhood.

   I was wondering the same thing…I googled it but no luck. Maybe NBC12 made a typo? Wouldn’t surprise me.

   It is probably Nelwood Dr. parallel to Mt. Erin.
