Community Update: Green Bay Police Chief talks summertime safety
Brown County, C. Reiss reach tentative agreement to relocate coal piles
Thursday marks the last day of school for many students in the Green Bay area. As students begin their summer break, Chief Davis says it's important for parents to be aware of where their kids are and what they are doing.
We like to remind parents this time of year, the big thing is just know where your kids are and what they're doing, who they're with. Keep in mind that public spaces like parks get a lot busier this time of year. Everyone wants to be able to enjoy the parks, so kind of think about your behavior in the park and urge your kids to be good stewards of our public spaces.
Green bay Police Chief Chris Davis
Over the last few years, the department has reportedly had problems with gel blaster guns. Chief Davis says to just leave those at home and not bring them into public spaces, or kids using them could get into 'some pretty serious trouble.'
Along with the summer and warmer weather also brings with it an increase in bicyclist, motorcyclist, and pedestrian traffic. The Chief says that every day drivers need to just be aware of their surroundings and not follow too closely to a motorcyclist or bicyclist as they stop much faster than a car can.
Those on the bicycles and motorcycles should keep their heads on a swivel and be aware of their surroundings. Riders of either mode of travel mentioned should also be sure to wear a helmet. As for pedestrians, the Chief asks that they try to make themselves as visible as possible.
Chief Davis then talked about the new city initiative, starting in the Western Avenue neighborhood, which is all about focusing on revitalizing and reengaging area neighborhoods
This is a whole of city government program to try to really dig deep into neighborhoods where we can improve livability.

The program, as mentioned, will start in the Western Avenue Neighborhood with the 'Neighbors Together for Western Block Party.'
That event is said to be on June 9, starting at 4:00 p.m. Most of the activities are being planned to take place on the corner of Western and Perkins.
UPDATE: Missing 6-year-old Kyrie found safe in Green Bay
Chief Davis says residents are encouraged to come out as they will have the opportunity to meet and connect with personnel from several departments throughout the city.

Tupac Shakur slaying suspect files appeal with Nevada Supreme Court to dismiss charges
LOS ANGELES -- The man charged with ordering the 1996 killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas is asking the Nevada Supreme Court to dismiss his murder charges. Duane 'Keffe D' Davis filed an appeal with the court Tuesday after a lower court judge upheld his charges. Davis, the only man ever to be charged in Shakur's killing, was arrested in September 2023. Other conspirators in the drive-by shooting have since died. The 62-year-old has admitted in interviews and in his 2019 tell-all memoir, 'Compton Street Legend,' that he provided the gun used in the shooting. His attorney, Carl Arnold, said Davis' constitutional rights were being violated. 'Mr. Davis cooperated with law enforcement over the course of more than a decade, relying on repeated assurances that his statements would not be used against him — yet those very statements now form the core of the State's case,' Arnold said in a statement. Arnold first filed a motion to dismiss the case in January of this year, alleging constitutional violations because of a 27-year delay in prosecution. He also said Davis had immunity agreements granted to him by federal and local authorities. A district court judge upheld his charges, saying he was not protected from prosecution because he had not provided proof of those immunity deals and that the decades-long delay was not intentional. According to the appeal, Davis was interviewed in 1998 and 1999 by federal prosecutors under the agreement that his statements would not be used to prosecute him. At the time, he denied knowing who was involved in Shakur's killing. He was interviewed again in 2008 and 2009 under the same conditions that he would not be prosecuted with his statements, according to the appeal. It was then that he described his 'alleged involvement in the murder and identified the alleged shooter," the appeal said. Arnold said prosecutors had not presented any evidence connecting Davis to the slaying other than his own statements, which is not enough for a trial. He asked the Nevada Supreme Court to grant their motion to dismiss the case, or recognize that he was granted immunity from prosecution for the statements he made during law enforcement interviews. Davis remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center. His trial is scheduled to begin in early February 2026. Shakur's death at 25 came as his fourth solo album, 'All Eyez on Me,' remained on the charts, with about 5 million copies sold. Nominated six times for a Grammy Award, Shakur is still largely considered one of the most influential and versatile rappers of all time.
