Virginia-Highland residents on edge as 'Peeping Tom' lurks outside home
‘Peeping Tom’ lurking outside Va-Hi homes
Residents in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood say they are on high alert after a man was seen lurking outside homes and peering into windows, sometimes near bedrooms and bathrooms.
ATLANTA – Residents in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood say they are on high alert after a man was seen lurking outside homes and peering into windows, sometimes near bedrooms and bathrooms.
At least two families report separate incidents involving the same individual, raising concerns throughout the community.
What they’re saying:
Alisha Brown, one of the victims, said her family’s sense of safety has been shattered.
“We’re both on high alert,” Brown said. “My son, he had to talk to his counselor today because he’s been super hypervigilant and suspicious of everything and everyone around him.”
Brown said she woke up Wednesday morning to find the man standing just outside her bedroom window.
“He would just stand here, which made me feel like he didn’t want to be seen, but he could see into my bathroom,” she recalled.
Just two days earlier, Brown noticed the same man watching her while she was in the garden.
“He made it all the way over and he saw me standing on my porch and then he jumped back,” she said.
Brown also recognized the man in Ring camera footage captured at a neighbor’s home this week.
“My heart dropped into my stomach again,” she said. “It was him. It was him. It fit my description to a T.”
What we know:
Atlanta police responded to Brown’s home on Wednesday and briefly pursued the suspect, but he got away. Authorities say there are similarities between this case and another recent “peeping Tom” incident, though they have not confirmed whether it is the same person.
What’s next:
Brown said she hopes going public will help police find the man.
“I don’t want this to happen to anyone else because it’s very violating,” she said. “It’s hard to put into words. I wasn’t touched, but I feel touched.”
What you can do:
Police are urging anyone with information or who has experienced similar activity to come forward. The man’s face has been blurred in surveillance footage as authorities work to confirm his identity.

Two dead after I-495 road rage incident leads to stabbing, Virginia State Police shooting – WTOP News
A road rage incident led to a shooting involving the Virginia State Police on Sunday on Interstate 495. Four individuals were also stabbed.
Two people are dead Sunday in Annandale, Virginia, after a road rage incident led to a shooting involving Virginia State Police on Interstate 495.
A release issued by the Virginia State Police said a trooper fatally shot a man after responding to a report of a road rage incident on the southbound lanes of I-495 just before 1:30 p.m. at exit 52, near the Little River Turnpike.
The man, transferred to a hospital with serious injuries, has been pronounced dead. VSP said the trooper shot in self-defense after the man confronted him with a knife.
The trooper did not suffer any injuries during the altercation.
Officials found four stabbing victims at the scene, but only identified a 39-year-old woman and a dog. Both the woman and the dog died.
Early findings suggest the stabbings took place after a crash on the Capital Beltway. The crash remains under investigation.
The VSP’s release comes after the main lanes of the Capital Beltway Outer Loop, before Little River Turnpike, were closed to traffic for several hours, only recently opening the express lanes. Main lanes between Arlington Boulevard and the Little River Turnpike remain closed.
