NEWS- In mourning: Community remembers Jayne McGowan
A little over a week after the slaying of 26-year-old Jayne McGowan in her home on St. Clair Avenue, Charlottesvillians paid tribute to her at two events, one for those who knew and loved her, and one for people who'd never met her but were affected by her death nonetheless. On Friday evening, November 16, from 6 to 6:30, McGowan's former neighbors on St. Clair Avenue, Hazel Street, and Locust Avenue gathered in a front yard around a campfire and introduced themselves to each other. The gathering in the wake of the crime was a way for neighbors to deal with their fear without retreating further into their own homes, they explained. McGowan was found dead on her couch, shot at least once in the head, on Friday afternoon, November 9. On Monday, November 12, police arrested two local men, 18-year-old Michael Stuart Pritchett and 22-year-old William Douglas Gentry Jr.
