  1. When will Sheriff Departments BE UPDATED WITH NOW TECH?..That way the forms to be filled out can be done online or in computer form and maybe individuals can have direct access to communication for what’s being done ..I believe more than half of crimes are recorded but by the time officers investigate footage is gone or & Culprits get away

  2. This is sad, so many criminals walking free in the AV, they never seemed to be caught, even though most apartments have surveillance cameras, the criminal needs to pay for his crime!!!

    • This was my baby brother that was killed and the suspect is in custody now…, even though that won’t bring any peace to my mother…

    • The criminals on Fern Street never seem to be caught either. Maybe now that the FBI is in town, they will be exposed. We can only hope.

  3. “especially on Christmas day so sad.”

    according to the av times it was Sunday Dec 25th

    so you stand corrected

  4. Sad all the garbage that moved up here with THEIR garbage problems, terrorizing the people who have been here for many years..

    • Deborah how can you say this person was garbage? This person was someone’s friend or brother, son, etc.. so to say garbage is downright cruel, especially on Christmas day so sad.

    • How sad you think this way,
      My brother was visiting and he tried to defend a stranger from a domestic violence beating and was killed.
      Maybe you should get your info before spitting venom…

      • Maybe you should have focused your energy safeguarding your brother. Instead of after he’s gone harking after “comments”. If you expect the world to tiptoe around your heartbreak, you’ll be disappointed.
