by Larry Janezich

Above are the crime maps for the last 30 days for Near Northeast – PSA 104 and PSA 107.  There’s been a big jump in violent crime in PSA 104 in the last 30 days, with robbery with a gun accounting for most of it.

There will be a neighborhood crime meeting tonight at 7:00pm in Northeast Library, 330 7th Street NE (7th and Maryland Ave).

Neighbors asked for a meeting to discuss the fusillade of shots fired at the intersection of Maryland Avenue and 8^th Street, SE, on Sunday afternoon, August 16.

Representatives of MPD, City Councilmembers and the Mayor’s office are expected to attend.
