Need for Awareness in Beloit

Below are some recent articles on two shooting events. As a landlord, I am disturbed by these shootings as are some tenants living nearby. Many factors are involved that led up to the state we are in but one of these is proper tenant screening. As a landlord yourself, help other landlords you know become informed and educated. Reach out to them and let us together keep Beloit safe and secure.

Police trailed the suspects, who allegedly robbed the Keeler Avenue Grocery, 1303 Keeler Ave., at gun point, to the 1200 block of Dewey Avenue, the same home where a Friday night shooting occurred. Two people were wounded in a drive-by shooting at the same address Friday.
