BRUNSWICK COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) — A 21-year-old man has died following an overnight single-vehicle crash in Brunswick County on Sunday, police said.
At approximately 4:05 a.m., Virginia State Police responded to 1176 Old Bridge Road for a reported single-vehicle crash with life-threatening injuries.
Upon arrival, troopers located a 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis in the middle of the roadway with extensive damage and the deceased driver.
A preliminary investigation has determined that the driver, later identified as Jukwanta Demond Nicholson, was traveling in the westbound lanes of Old Stage Road when he ran off the roadway and struck several large trees on the passenger side door area.
Nicholson was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash and succumbed to his injuries upon impact. Speed and alcohol were additional factors in the crash.

Pa. reaches reciprocity agreement with Virginia for concealed carry permit holders
Pistols for sale a Kentucky gun shop. (Courtesy Louder than Guns) Virginians who hold a permit to carry a concealed handgun will be able to keep it on their persons or in their cars when visiting Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced a reciprocity agreement with Virginia that allows people with Licenses to Carry Firearms to do so in both states. 'Shortly after taking office, I asked my staff to review opportunities to maximize reciprocity agreements with willing states, and ensure all existing and future agreements protect and respect standing law and constitutional rights,' Sunday said. 'Our research of law in both states revealed nothing conflicting that would disallow permit holders to carry in both states.' The legal staff in Sunday's office reached out to Virginia State Police leaders in early April about renewing a Memorandum of Agreement that provides 'mutual recognition of a license to carry a firearm' issued by Pennsylvania and a license or permit to carry a gun issued by another state. The permitting process is different in each state. In Pennsylvania, applicants apply through their county sheriff's office and a background check is conducted through the Pennsylvania Instant Check System (PICS). The application process in Virginia goes through the clerk of the circuit court of the county or city where the person lives and requires proof of handgun competency. That could include things like completing a hunter safety course or any National Rifle Association or United States Concealed Carry Association firearms safety or training course. The agreement, which applies only to handguns, allows a license holder from Virginia to carry a concealed handgun on their person or in a vehicle, in Pennsylvania, and vice versa, with a Pennsylvania license holder able to do the same in Virginia. It requires permit holders to be at least 21-years-old, carry photo ID, display the permit when asked by law enforcement, and not have a concealed carry permit previously revoked. According to Virginia State Police Superintendent Colonel Matthew D. Hanley, his state has recognized all out-of-state permits, including from Pennsylvania, since July 2016. In a May 21 letter to Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, he noted the execution of the agreement serves to expand the rights of Virginians since their concealed carry permits will now be recognized in the Keystone State. Pennsylvania now has concealed carry reciprocity agreements with 30 states, including Ohio and West Virginia. State police say as of June 2, nearly 1.7 million people have a license to carry permit in Pennsylvania. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE

Peoria man gets 7-year sentence for June 2024 shooting
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — A Peoria man was sentenced Wednesday to seven years in prison for a June 2024 incident where two cars were struck by gunfire. Christopher Polnitz Cleary, 20, was sentenced in Peoria County Circuit Court by Chief Judge Katherine Gorman. The sentence was in near the lower end of the four-to-15-year year prison term. Polnitz-Clary was charged with aggravated discharge of a firearm in connection with the June 7, 2024, incident that occurred near the intersection of East Frye and North Indiana avenues. More than 60 shell casings were found on the scene, according to Peoria police. Two days later, officers were sent to the intersection of Hanssler Place and Broadway Street for another report of shots fired. When they arrived, a home and a car were struck by gunfire. During an investigation of the second shooting, detectives found that a blue Dodge Caliber was the vehicle used in the shootings. Two Peoria men indicted for June shooting leaving more than 60 shell casings behind In April, Cleary pleaded guilty and under state law, he must serve at least 85% of his sentence. During the sentencing hearing Wednesday, Assistant State's Attorney Brian FitzSimons told Gorman that the shooting happened in the middle of the day and while people were around. It's sheer luck, he said, that no one was hurt. Gorman noted that while Polnitz-Clary had taken steps to improve himself while in custody, his actions could not be overlooked.
