Stabbing and multiple shot fired reported over the past 24 hours
A rough 24 hours in Providence.
First off, a woman and her husband were shot at in the area of Wilson St. and Elmwood Ave.
"Shortly before 2 p.m. on Saturday afternooon, police responded to the area of Wilson Street and Elmwood Avenue for a report of shots fired. A woman told police she was walking with her husband when they were approached by two females. The woman told police that one of the females pulled out a gun and shot multiple times towards her; police were unable to find any casings at the scene."
Then (right around the same time), police responded to Academy Ave. and Amity St. (border of Valley and Mt. Pleasant neighborhoods) for another shots fired call.
"Police then responded to a report of shots fired just after 2 p.m. by Academy Avenue and Amity Street. Witnesses told police they heard gunshots and then saw a white car speed away toward Smith Street; another set of witnesses in a vehicle told police they heard more than a half dozen gunshots."
Shortly after midnight, shots fired on Whitehall St. in the Silver Lake neighborhood.
"On Sunday morning shortly after midnight, police went to Whitehall Street for a report of shots fired; residents inside a home said they heard multiple shots and saw a man in all black fleeing the scene. Police found spent shell casings at the scene."
Soon afterwards, shots were fired outside the Parkview nightclub at 1220 Broad St. in South Providence (Washington Park).
"Police also early Sunday morning responded to the area of 1220 Broad Street and the parking lot adjacent to Parkview Restaurant and Lounge for a report of shots fired. At the scene, police found more than a dozen shell casings."
And finally, a man was stabbed early Sunday morning at Kennedy Plaza. He is reported to be in stable condition.
"Stabbing in Kennedy Plaza Shortly after midnight Sunday morning, police responded to Kennedy Plaza for a report of a stabbing. Police encountered a male victim bleeding from the face and back from multiple stab wounds, who was transported by rescue to Rhode Island Hospital. The victim, who told police he did not see his assailant, is reportedly in stable condition."
Then (right around the same time), police responded to Academy Ave. and Amity St. (border of Valley and Mt. Pleasant neighborhoods) for another shots fired call.
The Parkview Bakery Café is directly across the street from the Broad Street entrance to Roger Williams Park. And it is very close to the planned Roger Williams Park "gateway" project.
I believe this bakery/nightclub got in trouble at one point for not following covid rules.

More info on the Parkview shots fired incident across from the Broad St. entrance to RWP. Another source also mentioned that the "bakery" was ordered closed.
"PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Providence police are investigating a shots fired incident late Saturday night where three vehicle were struck by bullets. According to a report, around 10:45 p.m., an officer on detail at Roger Williams Park hear about a dozen shots coming from near the entrance to the park on Broad Street. While investigating, police found 15 shell casings in a lot with a variety store and cafe right across the street from the entrance to the park. They also found three parked vehicles that were hit by apparent gunshots. Police were able to review surveillance footage from the Parkview Bakery Cafe that showed two men leaving the building. As they were walking past a parked silver Honda Odyssey, someone inside the vehicle began shooting at the two men."
"Mediocre food. The real problem with them is that they are terrible to live near. They operate as a makeshift nightclub with a dance floor that incorporates their parking lot. They play incredibly loud music late into the night. From almost a block away I can hear their music as though it were in my house. Then, even after they close - their patrons, who are parked down all of the sides streets, drunkenly yell at one-another as they walk to their cars. It used to be every Friday and Saturday but now the loud nights have spread to cover all but Monday nights. It is awful. I honestly hope they go out of business."
