Crime is happening all over Nashville. We have worked hard to keep our community informed, safe and clean with our neighborhood watch & associations groups and individually, being a good neighbor looking out for each other. There have been times that our community would not experience events then all of a sudden, it happens. And then it happens again, a break-in here and a break-in there with other increasing events. Yes, crime is happening in other Davidson County communities, but it does not seem like it when it is repeatedly happening in ours. To that end, I have set another crime meeting.
As promised, the meeting is set for 6:00 pm, Monday, April 11, 2011 at Lakeview Elementary, 255 Rural Hill Road in Nashville. I have invited Commander Michele Donnegan and her staff to come and talk with us about some of the recent events that have occurred in and around our community. Please come to hear from our fine public safety officials, and to provide them with your concerns as well. No dog and pony shows will be provided. Just straight talk about what our hardworking Metro Police Department of Hermitage Precinct is doing to keep our neighborhood safe and clean.
At the beginning of the meeting (about 10 minutes) there will be a brief presentation from Metro Transit Authority (MTA) about an excellent and new service called “BusLink,” established just for southeast Davidson. I have attached a brochure for your review. Buslinks
See you at the meeting! Gratefully, Vivian Vivian Wilhoite Metro Councilmember, District 29 www.vivian-29.blogspot.com vivianwilhoite@comcast.net 615.589.2003

Thursday's crime log
Tennessean
Man found shot to death
A man was found fatally shot in a vehicle overnight at an apartment complex in the Nashboro Village area, Metro Police said.
Officers received a shots-fired call just after 1:30 a.m. Thursday, according to Metro Police Capt. Ken Walburn. When officers investigated, they were told by a resident that a car had crashed, and officers found a deceased body in the driver’s seat, slumped over, with the seat belt still on. The car had crashed into an area of shrubbery, Walburn said.
No motive has been established, nor have any witnesses to the shooting been located. Police were still on the scene early this morning, Walburn said.
The man, whose identity is being held until next of kin is notified, did not live at the complex, according to the initial investigation. But police said the victim was at the complex earlier in the day grilling out.
It hasn’t been determined whether the man was shot while driving the vehicle or beforehand, Walburn said.
“It’s a wide-open case, we don’t know if it was a robbery or a drug deal,’’ Walburn said.
The call came from Village Green Drive, according to dispatch.
Anyone with information is asked to call 74-CRIME.

Calling all volunteers!! This is a great place and it needs your help.
Spring is right around the corner and just like with your own home, the BLH also needs a good cleaning! Yes, it is work, but we can make it fun! Come join all your fellow members and volunteers; get to know others that you may not come in contact with at other times. We need you!!
Please mark your calendar for Saturday, March 19. We will begin at 8:00 am, so please come as early as possible. Many hands make light work, the more we have, the quicker we will are done. We will need some strong volunteers to take out the windows in order to wash and clean all parts of them, plus removing the cob webs, etc.
The BLH, Addison Museum and the Craft Center are way past due for a good cleaning.
Thank you, we appreciate your support!
Gratefully, Vivian
