Longview Police Continue to Investigate Unsolved Homicides

LONGVIEW — The Longview Police Department has been working on seven unsolved homicides. They said they are hoping to solve the crimes by the end of 2015. Each murder happened this year and many are similar in nature and have all occurred within two miles of each other. According to KETK, all of the victims had gunshot wounds. Police said some victims were found on the side of the road, one was found in a car and a few have been found in yards or houses. Police said the community should not panic. “Lifestyle choices, people that you associate yourself with… those types of things sometimes bring people and put them in danger when, you know, if they would just chose to change their lifestyle, maybe wouldn’t have to worry about it,” said Kristie Brian, the PIO for Longview Police Department. There have been a total of 13 homicides this year in Longview. If you have any information about any crime, contact Longview Police or CrimeStoppers.
