Prayers to the Sweat family.  

 

Wistar Village is not far from me but very different areas as I am near UR.

 

Henrico Co. 26 homicides this year up from 16 last year.  Richmond, far more.  Tough year.

Homicides up almost everywhere this year :(

 

Horrible news for the Sweat family. Just awful.

Police said they received a call about a shooting around 4:09 p.m. on Tuesday, and that other people in the area had dispersed. Anthony was pronounced dead at the scene. It’s unclear what led up to the shooting.

Sweat was not at practice with Washington on Wednesday. Anthony’s death comes just months after their mother died earlier this year, too.

Wow... that address sounded familiar.  I spent three semesters living in that same apartment complex (called Bremnar Woods Apts in the mid-90s) as an intern in Innsbruck/Henrico Co.  The neighborhood seemed OK at the time, though a little on the low income side.

 

My deepest sympathies to the Sweat family.
