- Officers investigate a negligent discharge of a firearm: On Dec. 6, 2023, at approximately 11:53 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 6700 block of Curtis Avenue regarding a person with a gun. Upon arrival, officers located evidence, including bullet casing indicating a shooting had occurred. The preliminary investigation indicates a male adult suspect was engaged in a verbal altercation with a female adult. Following the interaction, the female walked away from the suspect and the suspect subsequently discharged a round in the air. No injuries were reported. The suspect fled the scene before officers arrived. Officers recovered two firearms at the scene. The investigation is ongoing.
