Baby abandoned in the East End last August is now up for adoption

Yesterday, the parental rights were terminated to a baby that was abandoned last August. The baby has now been cleared for adoption.

The baby was found in the lawn of an East End home last August on Samara Drive near the Richmond / Henrico line.  Since then no one has come forward to claim the child, who is currently living with a foster family who have the option of adopting him.

Community Crime Report for December

First Precinct – Sector 111
Community Report
December 2009

I would like to start by thanking the officers and detectives that are assigned to the sector and the citizens who reside and work within the Sector for an exceptional December and 4th Quarter. During the last three months of the year, Sector 111 had the largest crime reduction in the City; a 29% reduction in Major Crime (a 13% reduction in violent crime and a 31% reduction in property crime). This was the second year we experienced a crime reduction in the 4th quarter; in 2008 there was a 10% reduction. This was made possible by the collaborative effort between the police and the community. The officers and detectives focused on specific crimes in target areas while the citizens were kept abreast of crime trends and provided assistance in solving problems. I look forward to building upon the present relationships with the citizens, businesses and civic associations in the New Year.

Did anyone else hear about 5 gun shots last night? It happened around 7:30 pm and sounded like it came from below, off of Jennie Scher from the Woodcroft apartments. I called 911 but I never heard nor saw any police in the area.

Murder, neglect charges withdrawn

Charges have been withdrawn in the July death of D’Sean Williams:

Circuit Judge Clarence N. Jenkins Jr. withdrew charges of child neglect and felony murder against Ashley C. Williams, 25, in the death of 2-year-old D’Sean Williams, who weighed 14 pounds when he died in May, far less than typical for a child his age, authorities said.

Williams’ trial had been set for Jan. 20-21, but it cannot go forward without a cause of death, said Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Mary E. Langer. Authorities could bring charges back later, depending on the final autopsy results, Langer said.
