Ocean Park Civic League Safety Alert:

Neighbors,

We want to share some important information from 3rd Precinct Captain Gordon, VBPD:

“As we all are aware, on June 17, 2025, we had a small group of individuals remaining at the Lynnhaven Boat Ramp when a disagreement occurred and a subject produced a firearm and fired several shots into the air.  All parties fled prior to police arrival; however, since then the Third Precinct Crime Suppression Squad (CSS) has been diligently following up.”

The Third Precinct has announced that yesterday, July 01, VBPD CSS and SWAT Units executed a search warrant in Virginia Beach resulting in the arrest of the individual involved and the recovery of a rifle believed to have been used in the incident at the Lynnhaven Boat Ramp on June 17th.

“The subject has now been arrested and charged with Firearm by Felon, Reckless Handling, and Discharging a Firearm in a Public Place. The suspect’s information will not be released at this time as the investigation is ongoing and there is a potential for additional charges unrelated to the events of June 17. We will provide additional information as it becomes available.”
