Hopkins Skips Trial, City Plans Block Party | Charlottesville News

Anthony Hopkins, accused in the July Fourth shooting that left five hurt—including two kids—has skipped his preliminary trial, pushing his case to Circuit Court with an August trial date set. He also faces separate, serious charges from a May shooting in Albemarle County, where no one was injured but the charges include attempted malicious wounding and shooting from a vehicle. With court dates piling up, Charlottesville Police are turning the page by planning a Fourth of July block party with fireworks—a bold move aimed at healing and bringing the community back together after last year’s trauma.
