Another Fairmount shooting
Just a block a way from last weeks shooting, Dorez Eric Gail was shot to death in the 1400 block of 22nd Street at around 3pm yesterday. Police are looking for the gunman and witnesses. [via]
From the article:
Dorez Gail was no stranger to the streets. A check of court records in Richmond revealed multiple convictions on drug charges over the past five years, in addition to convictions on assault and battery and larceny. Gail, who lived on the 700 block of Northside Avenue, was declared a fugitive on Jan. 23.

Crime victims advocate Alicia Rasin said Dorez Gail attended Armstrong High School and played basketball. She said he had six children with his teenage sweetheart, Monique Baker. He worked in construction and attended Bethlehem Baptist Church on Fairmount Avenue.
The police have good leads in this case. This was a point specific target and not a random act of violence. While this is no comfort to the people in the area, the evil doers are on the run. As a community, lets keep the pressure on and we WILL make this a better place.
