Delegates cast their ballots for the statewide Republican ticket Saturday, and now the counting of those ballots begins.
All seven of the GOP candidates for governor expressed thanks to their supporters Saturday afternoon as polling places at 39 locations across Virginia shut down at 4 p.m., the first phase of an unassembled convention spread out because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The second phase of the convention begins at 1 p.m. Sunday as state Republican officials start tallying the results a process that is expected to take several days since tens of thousands of ballots were cast.
A doctor pronounced him dead at the hospital at 3:50 p.m. Friday evening, according to an Indian River County Sheriff’s Office report.
A Vero Beach police officer made the first 911 call about a possible drowning at the school at 2:49 p.m.
Lt. Phil Huddy couldn’t jump into the water to help look for Termidor because of a broken leg, said Master Police Officer Darrell Rivers.
Huddy called 911 and performed CPR on Termidor after he was found in the water by a classmate and an off-duty Brevard County firefighter.
Termidor was in the water about 10 minutes before his classmates realized he was missing, according to the Sheriff’s Office report.
Unity march demands justice for Army Lt. involved in Windsor traffic stop
Unity march held at VSU, protesting police brutality By Brent Solomon | April 29, 2021 at 6:14 AM EDT - Updated April 29 at 11:31 PM
SOUTH CHESTERFIELD, Va. (WWBT) - The Virginia man seen in a viral video following a controversial traffic stop in the town of Windsor joined those calling for accountability Thursday.
A unity march was held at Virginia State University, where 2nd Army Lt. Caron Nazario also went to school. Those who attended gathered to call out excessive force by police. Nazario didn’t speak at the march, likely because his case is being litigated in court. Organizers say his presence alone spoke volumes.

ETTRICK Dozens of Virginia State University students, Life Christian Academy football players and other community members gathered at Rogers Stadium for a unity march on Thursday afternoon.
Nazario, who attended the event, was unable to comment on the case as it is still under investigation.
Jhovan Galberth, founder of Motivating Other Voices Everywhere, or MOVE, coordinated the event as a way to help bridge the gap between residents and law enforcement. We can sit and we can march in the street all day but we have to sit down at the table and find a way to correct it, said Galberth.
