On Sunday, September 29, 2024, at 2:21am, officers were dispatched to a single vehicle accident at the 7000 block of Wooldridge Road.

When officers arrived, they found that a white passenger car had struck an electric pole, snapping the pole, and the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames. The front seat passenger, a 21-year-old male, was able to exit the vehicle but the driver, an unknown male, was unable to exit the vehicle and succumbed to his injuries on scene. The passenger was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators with the Traffic Unit arrived on scene to investigate the crash. They found that the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed westbound through the intersection through a green light. It is unknown, other than the high rate of speed, what caused the vehicle to lose control and crash into the pole.

On Friday, September 27, 2024, at 4:19pm, officers were dispatched to the 1400 block of Devon Drive in reference to a shooting with injuries.

Officers and medics arrived on scene and located a deceased 24-year-old male who had suffered a gunshot wound.  

Preliminary information shows a disturbance occurred between the victim and another male when a firearm was produced and the victim was shot. Detectives with the Robbery/Homicide unit are on scene, beginning their investigation. Detectives do not believe this to be a random act of violence as all parties are known to each other and there is no immediate threat to the community.

On Wednesday, September 25, 2024, at 11:16am, officers were dispatched to the 1200 block of Airline Road in reference to a child locked in a vehicle.

Officers arrived and spoke to a witness who advised they located a black SUV parked in the parking lot, with the engine running. The witness told officers they looked inside the vehicle and observed a toddler in the back seat and there were no adults inside or around the vehicle. Another involved person was able to locate the mother inside of a nearby store.

Officers spoke to the mother, 26-year-old Marilyn Savage, who admitted to leaving her toddler inside of the car while she went inside of the store.

Due to the fact that Savage intentionally left her toddler inside of the vehicle, alone, putting the toddler in a situation where the toddler could be in imminent danger, Savage was arrested for Abandonment with Intent to Return. She was transported to the City Detention Center for booking.
