VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Residents in the Great Neck neighborhood are demanding action after a 20-year-old man was shot and killed outside a shopping center early Saturday morning.
Police say 21-year-old Cesar Bermudez Evans has been arrested in connection with the death of Juelle Morton. The shooting has reignited longstanding frustrations from neighbors who say violence tied to nearby nightclubs has gotten out of control.
“This is not a new thing, and no one is listening to us,” said Caitlin Jacox, who lives behind the shopping center. “We have children. This is a safety issue at this point. All of the families in our neighborhood are very worried about our children’s safety.”
