Resident Dior Williams, 21, told the Press Association: “I feel like there’s a lot of gangs around here, and it’s just gotten a lot worse over the years.
“I did use to feel really safe here, but recently not so much. There’s always something happening. There was someone that got murdered here a few years ago at the same spot, so it’s really sad.”
