Fatal Knife Attack in SDR Park’ Stanton Parkhouse Area

We regret to inform our Park goers:

An homeless man was killed after a fight broke out, killed by another homeless man in SDR Park.

Lo-Down has the in-depth reporting here.

Quote from SDR Coalition:

“This area has become a hotbed of drug selling, K2 in particular. Park goers and nearby residents have been threatened and harassed by drug dealers here. It’s becoming the 1980s all over again. We have vulnerable populations here: elders, children, high school students, a housing project with deaf residents, and a homeless population that is vulnerable to abuse from drug dealers. We can’t afford to have a drug problem making this worse for people who are already struggling.”

NBC News reported here.

More important than ever to reclaim this section of SDR Park for positive uses that would bring in resources for the homeless, activate the building and surrounding area?
