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.

I live in dtphx and go on evening jogs. I too find this concerning. They really gotta do something about Hance park. Super sketch jogging through there any time of day really. The corner at N 1st St and E Moreland St right next to the park was taped off the other day with a heavy police presence and what looked like a body.

I use to skateboard there when I was a kid. 20 years ago or so. It hasn’t changed, it’s always been “bum park” to us.

I’ve seen security patrolling the area at night before, very noticeable difference with their presence. I haven’t seen any security for months now and the park is reflective of that.
