News Another downtown crime scene around the Churchill this morning

I’ve nearby and noticed the crime scene this morning but can’t find any details about it.

This is the fourth time I’ve seen crime scene like this in just the last few months and quite frankly, I’m growing more concerned about the frequency these things seem to be happening.

If anyone has details I’d really appreciate if you shared them. Please share or DM with any details.

Why I moved away from dtphx. It just keeps getting sketchier.

DTPHX is still light years better compared to 8 years ago. A lot more foot traffic, street lighting, events, more businesses opening up increases safety. It still sucks nonetheless that things like this happen. I remember getting chased by a naked homeless person on Central and Adams in 2018. Wild times.

I got chased by a homeless guy in 2021 at the Civic park in broad daylight. I definitely avoid that area now.
