Some neighbors in Henrico County's Delmont Plaza community said an increased police presence was a welcome surprise Tuesday night.
“It's comforting to see people here today supporting us. It is a step in the right direction," one neighbor, who anonymously shared her crime concerns with CBS 6, said. “I feel anxiety coming home and I shouldn’t feel that way. Home shouldn’t be a place of war; it shouldn’t be a place of chaos."
One person has been killed and five people injured as the result of three separate shootings in the neighborhood over the last month, police said.
Henrico County Supervisor Rev. Roscoe Cooper III, of the Fairfield District, organized the community walk. He brought together other county supervisors, Henrico County Police, church leaders, and the Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney.
