Big news week in Alexandria.
A possible robbery with minor injuries turned into the sixth murder of the year in the city. Police are also investigating an alleged attempted abduction and robbery in Old Town. So far, police have been playing their cards close to the chest with details on both cases.
Meanwhile, a Del Ray Italian restaurant that closed to Covid is reopening and something might be stirring in the long “opening soon” Yates Pizza Palace… again.
