Seven Alexander, Zeldquan Thomas, Marlin Atkins, and an unnamed juvenile are listed as the alleged suspects.

Residents at the Midtown Senior Living Center say they’re not just tired of the damage caused by the suspects, but tired of feeling unsafe in their homes. At least 10 cars were broken into at the center.

“I don’t like parking over here. This is where they mainly hit. It’s been several times they’ve broken into these cars. Some of them have been broken into two or three times,” said a resident.

This is the same area where several people on South Cox Street in Midtown also reported their windows being smashed. According to reports, just after 11:30 Sunday night, three victims heard a car alarm go off.
