Chief Tyree Jones spoke this evening about the city’s 15th homicide, which occurred at Pine Ridge Garden Apartments on Rebel Woods Drive, the police department said.
Jones, the city’s police chief, did not provide further specifics in the brief statement. Police typically secure scenes, collect evidence and interview witnesses as part of homicide investigations, and officers were on site this evening, officials said.
Homicides have broad implications for public safety and community confidence in neighborhoods where they occur. Local police departments often work with detectives, crime-scene technicians and prosecutors to determine what happened and to identify suspects, and they frequently ask residents with information to come forward.
