Savannah Reels from Recent Incidents: Fatalities, Shootings, and Stabbings

Savannah is grappling with a surge of recent violent incidents that have left the community in shock. The latest events have sparked the concern of residents and law enforcement alike, as police investigators dive deep into several troubling cases that have unfolded across the city.

Death Investigation on 39th Street

Tragedy struck on Wednesday morning when Savannah Police Department (SPD) responded to a call reporting the discovery of an unresponsive male at the intersection of 39th Street and Waters Avenue around 9:20 a.m. Upon arrival, officers found the man without any obvious signs of trauma, leading them to suspect that foul play may not be involved. Nonetheless, this case remains a developing story, and police are continuing their investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding this untimely death.

Domestic Shooting Incident

In a deeply unsettling series of events, SPD also responded to a domestic shooting incident on Dunwoody Drive just after 1:15 a.m. on Tuesday. One man was injured in this shooting and was promptly taken to the hospital for medical treatment. However, no arrests have been made in this case as of now. Residents are reminded to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to help ensure the community’s safety.

Stabbing Case on Middleground Road

Another disturbing incident occurred on March 15, where police were called to investigate a stabbing on Middleground Road. Arriving on the scene around 1:15 p.m., officers found a female victim suffering from stab wounds. Tragically, the woman later succumbed to her injuries at Memorial Health University Medical Center. Following this grim event, authorities have arrested Christhian Moises Almendares-Perez, who faces serious charges including murder and multiple counts of cruelty to animals associated with this case. The investigation continues, and police urge anyone with information regarding the stabbing to step forward and assist with their inquiries.

Community Advised to Report Information

The steady stream of violence has prompted law enforcement to reach out to the public for assistance. SPD encourages the community to share any information related to the recent shooting and stabbing incidents through CrimeStoppers or their mobile app, emphasizing that every bit of information could be crucial in cracking these cases.

The Westlake Shooting Investigation

In a separate but equally concerning matter, the SPD is also investigating a shooting that took place at Westlake. Initially, Kenneth Gordon was identified as a suspect in the shooting, which resulted in five injuries. However, new information surfaced, clearing him from suspicion. The ongoing investigations into this incident have yet to identify any suspects, and authorities are diligently working to resolve this troubling case.

Tragic Collision and Police Chase

Adding to the series of unfortunate events, a police chase on Liberty Parkway ended tragically when an innocent bystander, 60-year-old Darren Lewis, lost his life following a collision. The suspect involved in the chase was apprehended by SPD after the incident, but it has left the community to grapple with the consequences of this chaotic event.

Authorities Maintain Communication

As investigations progress, the Chatham County District Attorney’s Office and Georgia State Patrol have clarified that no suspects were named in the Westlake shooting, underscoring the need for thorough investigations before drawing any conclusions about the events that transpired. In the face of these violent incidents, Savannah’s community is encouraged to remain connected and report any tips that might aid police investigations.

The series of shootings, stabbings, and tragic accidents is a stark reminder of the importance of community engagement and vigilance. Savannah, stay safe and watch out for one another.
