Police Chief Tyree Jones provided an update on an active homicide investigation in the 3600 block of Skyline Drive in a Facebook reel, saying the case marks the citys eighth homicide this year.
The brief social media post did not include extensive details about the victim or a suspect, and Jones did not provide a timeline for arrests. He described the investigation as ongoing and urged patience as detectives work the case.
Homicide investigations typically involve crime scene processing, witness interviews and examination of physical and digital evidence as detectives seek leads. An increase in homicide counts can heighten community concern and prompt additional patrols or focused investigative resources from local law enforcement.
Residents with information about the incident are commonly asked to contact local police or a crime tip line; police departments often emphasize that even small details can be important. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
