I went to class at 7 pm on 8/26/08 when i came back before 10 pm several Alexandria police cars were at the corner of S Whiting and Stevenson Ave. A man was shot and killed during that three hour time span. This man was described as tall, black, and usually walked the landmark area with a short girl by his side.

If you have any information on the identity of this man or the shooting please contact the Alexandria police.

The main reason i posted this is that the Landmark area has been a quiet area in the three years i've lived here. We do have some minor crime problems but shootings are very unusual. This is just so close to home i just had to post something on here. I do trash NoVA a lot (and still intend on trashing) but the Landmark area has been the one place i can truly stand.

Unhappy Shooting In Alexandria - 08/26/08

The young guy who was shot and killed was homeless. He and his girlfriend (the short girl that you spoke of) were living in the parking garage below the office building at 205 S. Whiting Street. He got into an argument with two guys over what was presumed to be drugs. It is a sad situation. Hats off to the Alexandria Police Dept. for catching the two responsible for the crime so quickly.
