This is tragic. The third homicide of the year in Greensboro claims the life of an aspiring NC A&T University student.

Twenty-two-year-old Dennis Hayle, just months from graduation, was gunned down in front of his A&T area apartment. The shooter remains at large.

Clark asks "What's it going to take the prevent the next shooting?"

It will take an urgent effort on behalf of our so-called elected establishment to mount pressure on the City Manager and Police Department to halt the crime wave by putting every available officer on the street, an effort on crime enforcement instead of petty traffic enforcement and a no-tolerance attitude on behalf of our city. An effort must be mounted that says from larceny to burglaries, from robberies to homicide...this behavior will not be tolerated in our city. Sadly, because City Hall (from the mayor to the City Council to the City Manager) is remarkably tone deaf, this behavior will undoubtedly continue.

My condolences to the victim's family.

Even more telling was the person interviewed in the N&R that said they didn't think anything of hearing the gunshots because they happen all the time around there.
