Remember: This crime “happened” in Colonial Heights. We can’t help where it ended but the start is s tri-cities issue.
The crime may have started in Colonial Heights but a bit sketchy since I am assuming the carjackers were coming “home†or at least to a place they knew.
And to think that when I saw the TV cameras I got excited and thought that someone was finally taking a look at the fact that there is a corner store covered in cigarette ads selling 40’s directly across the street from an elementary school…
I concur with v. I passed the channel 8 news truck on my way to work the other day and thought maybe they were doing a piece on the neighborhood or real estate. didn’t know anything about the situation until I read it here.
The market is on 30th and Clay though but still that corner is bad juju and next to an elementary school. I agree that the perps were heading home most likely which makes one wonder driving past there.
Hs anyone ever complained to the ABC about the convenience store — specifically about it’s proximity to the school and the fact that it seems to attract unsavory elements?

There was a triple homicide at 29th and Clay St. years ago when we first moved here. It happened in that cinder block on the corner.
Bad juju.
