The Danville Police Department will conduct a H.E.A.R.T. Walk at 4 p.m. Monday, March 4, beginning at the intersection of Berryman Avenue and Cabell Street.
This H.E.A.R.T. Walk is being held following the Sunday, March 3, homicide of Anthony De’Wayne Ross, 25, of Danville. This investigation remains ongoing.
The goal of a H.E.A.R.T. Walk is to express to the community the police department cares about their well-being. This is not a walk to gather more information. It is a check-in on Danville residents. During the walk, if an individual needs counseling or any additional resource or service, they will be connected to the proper organization for further assistance.
Additionally, this walk allows police officers to provide the neighbors with accurate facts on the incident. The police department feels these walks make neighbors feel safe, validated, and heard. These walks are scheduled each time there is a major occurrence in the city.
Anyone with information about Sunday’s homicide is asked to please contact the Danville Police Department by either calling patrol at 434-799-6510 option 4, investigations at 434-799-6508 option 1, and option 1 again, calling 911, contacting Crime Stoppers at 434-793-0000, approach any officer you see, through social media, via email crimetips@danvilleva.gov, or use our crime tips app CARE at www.p3tips.com/tipform.aspx?ID=818#.
Individuals with information leading to an arrest and conviction could be eligible for a cash reward.
