Man Found Dead in Brewerytown
BREWERYTOWN-August 31, 2005 - Philadelphia police have little to go on in an early morning murder.

The Action Cam was on the 1300 block of North Newkirk Street.
Officers discovered the body of a man here a little after 2:30am. He had a gunshot wound to the chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

So far, homicide detectives don't have much in the way of motives or suspects.

Flying Objects Damage 3 Vehicles
May 24, 2005 - There were frazzled nerves for the drivers of three vehicles that were hit by flying objects, possibly bullets, Tuesday night in Philadelphia's Brewerytown section.

Two cars and a minivan were hit as they drove near 33rd and Girard.
The side window of Shirley Bradford's minivan was blown out by whatever hit it.

The other vehicles were also dented by the flying objects.


Police are trying to determine what exactly hit the cars and who did it. Luckily no one was hurt.

Since we have another thread on upcoming meetings and the need to address crime, I'll say again that the FCA, who have been very active on this for months, will meet next on Thursday September 29 at the Mennonite High School on 24th. I had more to say in this thread:

http://phillyblog.com/philly/showthr...t=10548&page=2

Also, I realize folks are trying to get a Brewerytown Town Watch off the ground, but we do have a very active one in Fairmount that has focused its patrols on the northern and western sections of what are traditionally considered our borders - that includes the areas around 28th, 29th and Poplar where recent activity has taken place. Obviously more patrols and more participants will help us establish a better presence around here. So, that said, all are welcome to get involved and we'd be very interested in coordinating with the Brewerytown Town Watch when it is up and running.

Let me also point out this thread on various neighborhood anti-crime efforts ongoing this summer:

This includes Fairmount Townwatch, Fairmount Sits Out, and the regular 9th District crime reports.

I Am Glad That This Suggestion Came To Light
However I Still Think There Should Be A General Forum For Crime
And Atleast Make This Sticky!

Again Thanks

I know, it's disconcerting to see so much of this forum taken up with crime posts. I will make this thread a sticky under the title "Crime and Security Issues" & we'll see if we can consolidate the postings here.
