City's First Homicide Under Investigation

The city's first fatality due to gun violence occurred over the weekend, with the death of Andres Chach on West Front Street.

As widely reported, another young man, 20, was shot nine times on Jan. 3, even as Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs was calling for a moment of silence for last year's victims at the annual reorganization meeting.

Plaintalker does not have the resources to do crime reporting and can only acknowledge what is already reported in the dailies, but our sincere condolences go out to the family of Andres Chach and we offer our best wishes for the recovery of the young man who was shot nine times on Jan. 3.

We know local and county law enforcement personnel are doing their utmost to seek justice for the victims.
