12th and Bainbridge - homicide

[ruggerkev]

Still a rough neighborhood - watch your back...

Man shot, killed in S. Philadelphia

It's nice to know you can get gunned down while walking the dog at 5:45 a.m.

Rise and shine. Dog wagging its tail. Big yawn. Grab a cup of coffee. Walk outside. Get your face blown off.

Awesome.

Source? The OP mentions no dog-walking.

Yeah I'd like to know if that comment has any basis. I was up and about this morning only a few blocks from this location and it'd be nice to know if it was random like that.

When I first saw the story, though, my immediate thought process went - 12th and Bainbridge - projects - drugs. I hope it was that and not an attempted robbery or something random... Only live a few blocks away and I pass through this intersection often.

That neighborhood went to hell as soon as Penn Steaks left.

[MariusPontmercy]

Right by the MLK Homes... errr "Plaza".

Go figure.

I live on that block and called 911. I woke because I heard gun shots. I looked out my window and saw the 23 bus at 12th and kater not moving, i looked towards bainbridge and saw a dark van with its blinkers on, a split second later i noticed a man on the ground next to the drivers side of the van. I called 911 and went outside where a crowd was starting to gather and then the police showed up moments later. There was no dog, no big gulp nothing like that. They don't know what the motive was last time i checked, but the man who was killed had several friends and family members on the block. Thats all I know, don't know if it helps.

All are rap videos featuring the deceased. Make your own conclusions about why he was murdered.

It's the same sh*t that happens a few blocks west on a daily basis. Nothing to get worried about just "HOOD"issues you wouldn't know about. nobody's gunning down whitey

How many of you were here when the towers were occupied?

Haha. That place was a pain in my a$$.

[Hospitalitygirl]

How many of you were here when the towers were occupied?

Here as within a block of the towers or here within a half dozen blocks?

[OldMama]

I just drove by on my way home. There is a large number of people looking on and a memorial developing. I hate those things; I wish people would spend the money where it might actually benefit someone.

Doesn't matter. Simply in the area when 4 hi-rise towers stood and were occupied.

No one can compare then to now.

There are some problem houses in the area and some illegal activty still goes on, but compared to before, it is like a suburb.

When we had sectors, the projects consisted of 3 sectors. Each car was responsible for about one or two square blocks.

With the addition of 777 South Broad Street it can't get much better.

Yes it can: they can remove all the PHA housing from the city.

Why we're paying criminals to live in this city when I could barely afford rent as a college student I don't know, but it should end. I hear Camden and Chester are very affordable.

[torts]

I love paying to house crack dealers and murderers. It's so awesome.

Not every single person in PHA housing is a criminal.

You pay for much more than just that.

I suggest you bring this up to your politician and when you vote keep your thoughts in mind.

Just curious where you got the links / how you know? Most I've seen is the victim was Robert McKee (Metro).
