This area saw a rash of violence earlier this year.
In March, a 16-year-old was shot and injured in a parking lot of a business on Duval Station Road. Days later, a 17-year-old was killed and four other teenagers wounded when a car was hit by gunfire at the intersection of Duval Station and Starratt roads. Less than 12 hours after the deadly shooting, a home with six people inside was shot up on Deersong Drive.
The violence prompted a community meeting.
