    • I’m the neighbor whose car got shot. There was no truck. There was no drive by. MPD has the Ring Doorbell footage for everyone in the neighborhood. MPD has all the evidence, plus a confession and hasn’t charged him anything. Meanwhile I’m left with the bill of damages, rental car and loss time from work.
