“Nikki is not one to ask for help, she didn’t ask me to set this up. I WANTED to do it so she wouldn’t have to worry… And be able to recover with some peace of mind.
Last night (11/09/20) she was injured in a drive by shooting on her block. She was standing with her husband Andrew, their dog Ruby and a neighbor friend. They were discussing how in the recent weeks they have been noticing how the neighborhood was starting to get a little worse with the gunfire. As they were standing there, they heard lots of loud popping, they all fell to the ground and as Andrew looked up he saw a guy out the window of a car with a gun. (more…)

Thanks to all who passed on the incredibly disturbing report from Valley Brook Tea:
“I don’t know what to say anymore. This type of hate crime happened to us again. This morning(9:42), this person charged into our store shouting “Chinese” and “Covid-19”, then attacked me with pepper spray. If you recognize him, please contact us or call 911.
I got sprayed on my face, arm, cloth. Some got into my mouth. I was choking badly when I called 911. I’m not injured. However the burning has not stopped after hours.
It seems we’re the only business that keeps getting harassed and attacked in this neiborghood. We cannot stay in business if this happens on a weekly/monthly basis. Please help us identify this individual. Thank you.”
