Shortly before the stabbing on 3rd and Mayfield there was a call on the scanner regarding a person shouting gang slogans at the same intersection. I wonder if it were Lopez or the victim.
ReplyDeleteGood job CPD. They solved this one in less than 15 minutes.
I have to say its beyond sad and quite aggravating that the neighborhood that I've called home for 30 years is the way it is. As a child I may have just been nieve, but I don't recall having this many problems in our area. Garfield Ridge will always be home for me, I just pray that I don't feel the need to relocate to avoid these scumbags.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless our CFD and CPD!!
