San Antonio Adult Entertainment: Murders spike in San Antonio: Are the streets still safe?
Friday, March 2nd, 2012A man was shot multiple times on Highway 90 West. Then there were two more people shot dead in the 300 block of Catalina.
“There is a spike and it’s early in the year,” said McManus. “That doesn’t mean that the trend will continue through the year.”
Chief McManus said the spike should be taken with a grain of salt. Two years ago when the city had a record low, the number of murders was up at the beginning of the year.
“It’s not being committed by an organized group or groups of people,” said the chief. “Most of them are spontaneous: an argument or someone targets someone.”
And it is those crimes that are difficult to predict or prevent. overall, he said.
“People who are dealing with gangs, drugs, prostitutes – their potential for becoming a victim is much greater than those who are not,” said the chief.
