Not far from the shooting is Harborside Park. The city shut that park down over the summer because of the growing homeless population and reported illegal activity. Families told NBC 7 they believe that activity has moved into their neighborhoods.

In August, the city shutdown the park after a sizeable homeless encampment had been set up. Cuevas is sympathetic to the struggles the unsheltered face. In the past, some residents applauded the city decision to shut it down, hoping it would stop reported crime and drug use.“It is getting worse, you know. They’ll shoo them out of here in one spot but where do they go? Right. There’s nowhere to go. So they just go into neighborhoods or like I said, anyplace they can find,” said Cuevas.
Detectives said that when the suspect refused to drop the weapon, an officer shot him. No one else was seriously hurt. Ventura said that is too close for comfort.
