NORFOLK
On Friday, June 10, just after 11 p.m., a 28-year-old Norfolk woman was walking in the 100 block of E. 17th St. when a man approached her with a knife.
The man forced her through a window of a vacant home, where he sexually assaulted her. He then fled.
The woman was treated and released from a local hospital.
The assailant is described as black, in his early 30s, 5 feet 11 inches tall and about 170 pounds. He had unkempt hair, big eyes and high cheekbones.

On Saturday, June 4, at 3:45 a.m., police were called to 1278 Mapole Ave. where a man was found shot to death.
How the body got there is unknown. Just a few hours earlier, police were called to the Roberts Park School basketball court for a report of shots being fired, but they found nothing. It's unclear if the two incidents are related.
The victim was identified as Reginald L. Jones, 36, of the 1200 block of Lead St.
According to family members, Jones didn't frequent the area where his body was found.

On May 11, about 10:30 p.m., police were called to the 1400 block of Effingham St. for a reported shooting.
Officers found Kenneth Freeman, 24, lying on the ground with several gunshot wounds. At least one shot was to the head.
The victim was transported to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital where he remains in a coma.

Investigators are seeking any information about Skeeter's whereabouts between 3 and 6 p.m. on that Super Bowl Sunday.

On Saturday, June 4, about 7:15 p.m., two young women, ages 20 and 21, were crossing Pacific Avenue at 11th Street when a speeding car heading south struck them.
