BOYZ IN THE HOOD: A 16-year-old boy said he was sitting on a picnic table at a park on Kendall Drive when he was approached by a male teenager.

DEADLY CREDITOR: A police officer said he arrived to the 3000 block of Sharon Amity Road in response to a communicating threat report. Once on the scene, he spoke with a 26-year-old woman who said a man called her and said he would kill her husband if he didn't finish paying for a vehicle he purchased.
