Police were called to 709 First
Ave. shortly after 2:30 a.m. for what they thought was a domestic disturbance.
When they arrived they found a man and a woman beaten to death with a baseball bat. They are looking
for two males driving a blue 2013 Ford Escape. The SUV is registered to a person living
at the home, according to the Times Union.
The newspaper is reporting the dead
man is a longtime city worker but police are not releasing the names or ages. The couple has been identified as Michael Allen Lockrow, who worked in the city Parks and Recreation Department, and his wife Maria.
The stretch of First Avenue is home to a number of trailers that back up to the Hudson River.
The rally, which was slated before the double homicide, will start at 6 p.m.
tonight at Powers Park and it is billed as a way for citizens to show police
they are ready and willing to help take their neighborhood back.
More information as it becomes
available.
It's obvious TPD can't handle the job. Call in the State Police.
ReplyDeleteTroopers would shit their pants if they ever tried policing Troy. Call in the national guard
DeleteOh yeah, it looks really hard..... Ur a doosh.
DeleteAlan was affectionately known as pigeon to people from Lansingburgh who knew and loved him. He was a gentle man who was always happy. I was proud to call him a life long friend. Please Troy PBA catch these bastards.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the loss of your friend but you can't blame the Council for a crime someone else committed. In time you will realize this. I understand the anger you are feeling. Maybe, just maybe, with this loss, City of Troy employees THAT ACTUALLY LIVE and WORK here can unite and join the residents of the Burgh in their crusade against CRIME
DeleteYou're right no one on the council killed this good man and his wife. Your defense of the council who's hearts bleed Kommie leads me to this. "Go fuck yourselves" scumbags.
DeleteI didn't blame anyone asshole and don't try to politicize my statement about the lose of a friend. Douchbag
DeleteHey Jim Gordon, where are the gangs and the drugs on this one? You can't keep blaming crime on drugs and gangs (key word -- minorities) in hopes to get elected to some higher position.
ReplyDeleteHe'll blame Kevin McGrath and Stoneledge too
DeleteWell Kev use to deal drugs in the Burg! But that was for the kids not profit.
DeleteThanks for the input Jen now get back to that nice little place and successful job you better hold on to real tight.
DeleteWhat exactly do you people want Jim Gordon to do? He isnt Batman, he doesnt fight crime. I just think its funny people are calling him out to do something.
ReplyDeleteMaybe because when Kevin McGrath was councilman, Jim Gordon was front and center blaming him for everything from car break-ins to heavy rain and feral cats. And now we have six murders in eight months, all on Gordon's watch, but there's simply nothing he can do? Now that's pretty funny.
DeleteMaybe when hundreds of his constituents gather in a public place to protest the crime wave occurring under his watch, he could.... I don't know, show up? Just a thought.
DeleteHe was busy. Fine family man
DeleteWhere was Anastasia?
DeleteAt least Anastasia was out of the state on a planned trip and couldn't get back. Jim Gordon just blew it off. And then puts out statement criticizing about it?! He and Tedesco are fucking useless. USELESS. Throw the bums out!
DeleteHey city hall: get rid of this police chief. By my count, there have been 9 homicides since he took over in February!!!!!!! Overall crime in the city has jumped by more than 35% since February. Get a clue.
ReplyDeleteWho's supposed to be in charge of this city? The chief or the mayor? I believe the mayor is the CEO-leader-boss- over all city departments. Never has this city been so bad and you blame the chief not the mayor. Get your head out of your ass.
DeleteI agree with 5:16. Time to get rid of this police chief. If im the ceo of this city, im firing my police chief.
DeleteAnd all the cronies that he has under his wing.it's not getting better by losing the commissioner.hire a commissioner that will oversee both fire and police
Deletezero murders in Troy in 2013 when there was a Police Commissioner. So far, nine murders in 2014 with this chief of police - and we havent even finished the summer yet.
Delete9:43 where are you getting those stats? You better look again or are you blind ? There were 6 or 7 murders in 2013 ! We also had arsons, shooting, car break-ins, gang assaults and the list goes on. The only thing the Commissioner did was relieve city taxpayer's of $30,000.
Delete4:26: I get my stats from the news. Speaking of, I heard a local newspaper will be doing a story on the fact there were zero murders in 2013 when there was a commissioner and now 9 in seven months under this police chief
DeleteHey Franco: why don't u put out some real facts and figures on crime in troy this year compared to last year.
Delete@9:43 pass the crack pipe. Last year was peacetime compared to what's happening this year. Get your head out of Tedesco's tiny little ass.
Delete6:04 The Record is NOT a valid news source, it's a litter box liner!
Delete426 then the cost for the commish went towards snookie in Ryan's office...isn't that a sweet deal
DeleteCrime is out of control = vote out mayor and the city council
ReplyDeleteYou heard it here first people, a vote of no confidence is going to be issued against the chief of police and the mayor.
ReplyDeleteAdd Jim Gordon to the list.
DeleteNo one is to be blamed for this but the monsters who did this. Period.
ReplyDeleteLou, enough is enough. This isn't HVCC, your lunch breaks are over. Step up to the plate, stop hiding.. be a man, do the right thing.
ReplyDeleteAfter he wakes up from his nap.
DeleteTake back my ass.....
ReplyDeleteI can relate!
ReplyDeleteMy own family member was found dead in his Lansingburgh apartment and we suspected he was murdered, not the Troy Police thou, the Troy Police on the scene actually gave permission to the person (a stranger to us and the suspected murderer who found our brother dead) to drive off in my brother's car without our family knowing. The family had to discover the car was gone and retrieve it ourselves after key items had already been removed from the vehicle. That's Troy Police work! Don't trust them to get anything right!
Lay with dogs and youz getz fleaz
DeleteTake back Jim Gordon!
ReplyDeletePrivate Bushnell go get your psych eval its long overdue!
