    Buffalo Crime Reports

    In case anybody on this site has any form of relation to any of these stories, that is a coincidence and I apologize if you may be offended that I'm posting actual information about events happening in Western New York.

    My goal is not to make fun of anybody, but to shed light on events happening out here, because we all know that nobody but us gives a ****.

    56th Case for Buffalo Homicide Squad This Year

    December 29, 2005

    The caseload grew again Wednesday night for Buffalo homicide detectives. It comes near the close of a year that saw the return of the homicide squad. News 4's Jodi Hovenden reports from Buffalo police headquarters.

    Buffalo homicide detectives are searching for the gunman who shot and killed 24-year-old Jason Lindsay early Thursday morning.

    It happened around 1:30 Thursday morning in the Langfield projects as Lindsay was reportedly on his way to see his girlfriend.

    Buffalo homicide squad Lieutenant Kenneth Bienko said, "Nobody saw anything. A few people heard the shots. One person looked outside, saw him laying there, and called for an ambulance."

    It's the 56th homicide in the city this year, and while detectives do not have any suspects in this case, they have solved about 40 percent of the homicides committed this year since the homicide squad was reinstated in late January.

    Investigative Services Chief Anthony Barba said, "The national rate is usually in the fifties, so it's a little disappointing for us that we didn't get more [cases] cleared, but I will say that these homicides are being investigated. We believe we know who did them, and it's only a matter of time."

    Detectives have also solved five cold homicide cases in the past 12 months.

    Barba said, "We are able to dedicate a lot of time to them, where, when they were doing other crimes -- your burglaries, your robberies, your bank alarms, and so forth -- they couldn't dedicate that time."

    But even with a homicide squad, detectives say one of their biggest frustrations is getting citizens to come forward with information about crimes, and in some cases, there is pressure not to talk to police.

    Barba said, "They're walking around, while we're trying to... while we're over a homicide scene, people are walking around with these shirts." [see photos at left]

    These T-shirts, they say, are sold in neighborhoods where many of the crimes take place.

    Barba said, "With this in a community, and people not willing to talk to us and help us, it makes it almost impossible to solve some of these crimes."

    Bucky monopolized the news last night, but the Buffalo cops were busy - the scanner was buzzing with stuff - the big crime wave didn't come to a miraculous halt, it's just the news stations had bigger fish to fry.

    The crime wave will slow markedly when school starts.

    And almost stop when night time temps hit the 30s.

    Same thing every year.

    Bflo Cop shot at last night

    yea, a Bflo Cop got shot at last night. As well there was a shooting on the West Side and a stabbing too. As well at least 2 other persons were shot at on the East Side. But since it is a seasonal thing, just let it happen and hope for winter, that is Bikers idea of law enforcement. Another pathetic attempt to downplay the role of Cops. Glad you're just a keyboard junkie and not a policy maker.

    An observation of patterns, pinhead.

    Which you didn't dispute.

    Hmmmm are you ticked because, when the police claim they're pushing down the crime wave someone might ascribe it to the change in weather?

    I hadn't thought of that angle.

    Thanks.
