I have been closely following the incident that took place yesterday at the Whole Foods in East Liberty. I have been briefed by Zone 5 Commander Lance Hoyson multiple times as the bureau has conducted its investigation. Our public safety department has confirmed a 16-year-old male was arrested and charged with aggravated assault in connection with this incident. He was charged as a juvenile.

Thankfully, the victim’s condition has been upgraded to stable by the hospital staff. I have been in touch with our community partners, with whom we are working to launch our community health, wellness, and safety street team in June. One of our primary goals will be to prevent these incidents through interruption, intervention, and de-escalation in coordination with law enforcement. We will keep the public informed as more information is gathered.
