Girl killed in car at traffic light for the fun of it

“"We receive shots fired calls throughout the city all the time. A lot of those calls end up with nobody being injured. Just maybe someone with some type of malicious intent," said Sergeant Holmes.

Helen Foxworth is on that Neighborhood Association, and says she heard gunshots Friday evening around 5:00 p.m., which she believes might be associated with this murder.

"And then, right after that, probably within two or three minutes I heard gunshots sounding like it was coming from Wooddale and Lakewood," said Foxworth.

Foxworth says she used to call to warn police of possible crimes all the time. She called so frequently, though, that she says JPD stopped taking her seriously.

"They sometimes think I'm a nuisance, because I called too much," explained Foxworth.

Because of that, she chose not to report the gunshots she heard last night””

“”While neighbors saw this 8-foot deep pothole as a nuisance, Daniel Trussel saw it as an opportunity to get peoples attention.
