Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for December 13, 2024. We're starting off the day with some sad news. Our community is mourning the loss of Dejour 'DJ' Crippen, an Indian River High School student who was tragically shot and killed in Virginia Beach earlier this week. His mother, Lakenya Crippen, shared heartfelt memories of her son, describing him as the life of the party who could light up a room and make others smile. A funeral will be held at the Metropolitan Funeral Service in Norfolk on Saturday, December 14, at 1 p.m., and a viewing will be held today from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The community is welcome to attend.
Moving on to our job market snapshot, we see a variety of opportunities available. Indeed.com lists over 749 jobs in Virginia Beach, including positions at Target, with salaries ranging from $93,600 to $104,000 per year for dental hygienists. These jobs offer full benefits, including healthcare, making them attractive options for those looking for stable employment.
In real estate news, we don't have any major updates on notable property sales or new development projects today. However, we encourage our listeners to stay tuned for future updates on the local real estate market.
From city hall, we have updates from the recent Virginia Beach City Council meeting held on December 3, 2024. While there were no major decisions affecting daily life announced, we recommend checking out the full meeting on YouTube for more details.
Weather-wise, it's a chilly morning in Virginia Beach, with temperatures expected to rise throughout the day. We advise our listeners to bundle up for any outdoor activities today.
In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today. However, we do have news on the acquisition of Motel 6 by the parent company of Oyo, a hotel operator based in India, which could have implications for local hospitality businesses.
Looking ahead to community events, we have a variety of activities planned for the next few days. However, due to the somber mood following the recent tragedy, we will focus on supporting the Crippen family and the community during this difficult time.
In local school achievements, we want to acknowledge the efforts of our students and educators who continue to work hard despite challenging circumstances. We also note the recent sports results, including William & Mary's victory over Furman at Zable Stadium in Williamsburg.
On a more positive note, we want to share a feel-good community story. The outpouring of support for the Crippen family, including visits from friends and other parents, is a testament to the strong bonds within our community.
Finally, in our crime report, we want to remind our listeners that the police are still investigating the incident involving Dejour 'DJ' Crippen and are asking anyone with information to call the Crime Solvers at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP. We urge everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
