Published 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
In the last week across Virginia Beach, police responded to several notable incidents. On May 7, in the Thoroughgood area near Rodney Lane, officers were called to a reported shooting. A 43-year-old woman, Jennifer Mulligan, is accused of fatally shooting her 90-year-old father. Upon arrival, police found the victim deceased in bed with a gunshot wound to the forehead. Mulligan, who called 911 herself, allegedly admitted to shooting her father and told police she acted to relieve him from agony. She has been charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm. The case was presented for a preliminary hearing this week and remains under judicial review, with the next appearance scheduled in a higher court.
In the Town Center district late Friday, police investigated an alleged armed robbery near Independence Boulevard. According to department statements, a male suspect displayed what appeared to be a handgun and stole personal property from an adult male victim before fleeing toward Virginia Beach Boulevard. The victim was uninjured. Officers are urging anyone with information or witnesses to come forward. The suspect is described as a Black male in his twenties, medium build, last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black pants. Police are actively seeking public assistance in identifying this individual.
In the Oceanfront area, an alleged burglary occurred overnight Saturday when unknown persons forced entry into a closed retail establishment on Atlantic Avenue. Merchandise and cash were reported stolen. Police have processed the scene for evidence, and the investigation is ongoing at this time.
Near the Pembroke neighborhood, officers conducted a response to an alleged assault outside a convenience store at Witchduck Road and Bonney Road on Sunday. One adult male suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene. The alleged assailant fled the area prior to police arrival. Detectives are continuing to review surveillance footage to identify the persons involved.
The Princess Anne corridor saw a report of motor vehicle theft late Tuesday from a public parking lot adjacent to Dam Neck Road. The vehicle, a silver 2020 Honda Civic, was believed to have been stolen between the hours of 7 p.m. and midnight. No arrests have been made and the vehicle remains outstanding.
Police in the Green Run area responded to an alleged vandalism incident in the early morning hours Monday, where multiple vehicles parked along South Independence Boulevard sustained damage from unknown suspects. Several cases of broken windows and graffiti were documented. Officers are canvassing the area and following up on leads provided by residents.
No gang-related activity or large-scale violent incidents were reported over the past week. Investigators noted a continued pattern of property crimes, including stolen vehicles and retail break-ins, consistent with seasonal trends. Community members are reminded to secure vehicles and property, and to report any suspicious behavior promptly.
