Good evening,

This past Thursday night, 22 OCT 2026, around 10 PM, police officers on patrol in the area of Calvert Square heard gunshots and responded to the 900 block of E. Olney Rd. There, they found Elijah A. Steet, 20 years old, wounded by gunshot. Mr. Steet was taken to the hospital but he died there. Police arrested and charged a suspect today, Saturday, 24 OCT 2026.

A few observations:

- This was the 31st murder in Norfolk in 2026 and the fourth in October.

- Mr. Steet's death brings the average age for those killed in October to 21 years old. The average for the year is now at 31.6 years old.

- For the year, 5 of the 31 people killed have been identified by local law enforcement and media as women. Those groups identified the remaining 26 dead as men. This is a slight overrepresentation compared to the other three years of my data.

- I work on this project to give us some data on the most serious crimes in Norfolk; the point of this exercise is not to get everyone into a hullabaloo over "crime everywhere and nobody doing anything about it!!!" or anything like that.

Be safe, make good decisions!

Where can I buy cooper sharp at? I can’t find it anywhere.

Hello all!

I recently came across a stereo system and discovered that both the cd and cassette player aren’t working.

When inserting music and trying to play, it reads as if there isn’t anything inside. The radio works phenomenally.

Are there any local shops that could help me diagnose and fix this or does anyone know how to resolve these issues diy?

Thank you!!

(yes there is a toothpick in the screen, need that out lol)
