Another murder at the Church Hill house

Is this a traditional nursing home or some other type of facility? Something must be awry if there are murders in a “senior home”.

I have an acquaintance who lives in Church Hill House, an elderly fellow who has done some work for me over the past few years. He calls the place ‘the high rise’ and tells terrible stories about what goes on in there. He says the security is NOT good, that non-residents wander around inside 24/7, and that some actually live there illegally with ‘friends.’ I only know that everytime my white face shows up at the door the security personnel demand ID. He’s very cautious not to be seen carrying anything of value into Church Hill House because theft is so common. If it weren’t so sad it would be funny to see the extent to which he has gone to camouflage things… like the crock-pot I gave him last Christmas. Sad as another death there is I was relieved to learn it wasn’t my chum, who is also 78…and if every anyone needs an extra set of hands for a job this fellow can still work me under the table!

I just sent an email to the Mayor asking what he plans to do about this. I’ll post updates when/if I get a response.

from nbc12.com:

Delegate Dwight Jones plans to ask the state attorney general to investigate any code violations at the building and make sure Housing and Urban Development money is being used properly. He also wants off-duty Richmond Police to secure the building.On Monday, Councilman Delores McQuinn will ask the city attorney to investigate Church Hill House as well.
