Virginia Beach Oceanfront Curfew Enacted After April 11 Shooting Investigation
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, April 18.
We start with breaking news from the Oceanfront. Virginia Beach Police made another arrest yesterday in the April 11 shooting on the 1400 block of Atlantic Avenue that injured eight young people, all expected to recover. Twenty-year-old JaQuarrias Morris from Lancaster now faces seven counts each of aggravated malicious wounding, firearm use in a felony, and reckless handling with injury. Earlier arrests include Isaiah Charity and Jamya Williams. VBPD asks anyone with info to call 757-385-4101 or Crime Solvers anonymously. The investigation continues.
This violence prompted City Council to approve a temporary all-ages curfew from 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. tonight and tomorrow, plus next Friday, in the zone from Rudee Loop to 31st Street along Atlantic and Pacific. It adds to the existing 7 p.m. minor curfew through April. Business owners worry about lost revenue, and former Delegate Tim Anderson sued on behalf of resident Lisa Lawrence, claiming it overreaches on adult rights. A hearing is Tuesday, but it starts tonight, so plan accordingly.
Shifting to City Hall, no major votes today, but the curfew directly impacts weekend beach walks and nightlife, aiming to keep our streets safer.
Weather-wise, sunny skies with highs near 72 degrees and light winds make it perfect for outdoor plans, though cooler evenings mean bundling up for that curfew zone stroll. Expect the same tomorrow.
On the business front, a new coffee spot opened on Laskin Road, boosting Kempsville vibes, while no big closings reported.
Jobs look steady with about 500 openings in hospitality and tech around Town Center. Real estate sees median home prices around 425,000 dollars, up 3 percent, drawing families to Bayside neighborhoods.
Sports note: Our high school crews shone at the latest regatta off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.
Upcoming, catch the free Spring Fest at Mount Trashmore Park tomorrow afternoon.
And a feel-good story: Neighbors rallied to clean Croatan Beach, collecting over 200 pounds of litter, strengthening our community bonds.
