I was kind of surprised that we hadn't heard anything from the neighborhood and that I found out through social media," Alexis Reynolds, a four-year resident of Apartments at the Yard, said. "As a young woman, I was very unsettled especially because I found out through social media and didn't really know. It gets dark really early now so I didn't leave my apartment, I stayed in, I didn't go to the gym" ‘Fast Track Recall’ for holiday devices sold at Walmart, Target Reynolds says this is a scary reminder to be careful.

You never know, even if you are aware and you think you're aware of your surroundings, you never know what can happen" Grandview Heights Police say the suspect is still at large and is described as 5'10, around 190 lbs. with dark-colored hair.
