On October 29, 2019 at approximately 12:30 p.m., officers responded to the area of Leighton Pl for a report of a shooting. One victim was transported to a local area hospital.

Scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have discovered a strange new organelle inside our cells that helps to prevent cancer by ensuring that genetic material is sorted correctly as cells divide.

During the encounter, the victim was struck several times in the head and face and transported to an area hospital with significant injuries.

The victim, a 26-year-old male, reported to police that while making a food delivery in the above area, he was approached by three unknown males who took the money from the victim before fleeing the area on foot. Later in the evening, an additional incident was reported near the above address where three suspects attempted to obtain money in a similar manner. The investigation revealed that the suspects were the same in both incidents.
