Only one shooting occurred in Brentwood last year, but in 2018 police have investigated three, which all took place within a span of about two weeks.

It's a significant increase, but becomes an even more unusual spike when the dates of the incidents are taken into consideration.

  • November 18, 2018 - Mapco at 158 Franklin Road. Clerk shot during attempted robbery. Clerk survived and has been released from the hospital.
  • November 20, 2018 - 28 Governors Way. Domestic incident between husband and wife. Husband stabbed wife and her Father and was subsequently shot and killed by the Father in Law. Wife died at hospital.
  • December 3, 2018 - Drive-by shooting at 1426 Dozier Court. Suspect shot at residence from cul-de-sac and struck victim inside who was killed.
