And another sign of an escalating crime climate in the city came last night when two innocent women were shot at around 6:30 near Berger Field, at the corner of Sarstoon and Vernon Street.
40 year old Stephany James and 55 year old Maria Cruz - who are from the area - were walking with what police call "a known male individual" when they came under fire.
As they got near a food stall in the well lit area, Martin noticed a dark-complexioned man wearing a red shirt standing approximately 30 feet away beside the football field fence on Sarstoon Street. Moments later, he pulled a firearm and opened fire in their direction, injuring James and Cruz. Cruz received one gunshot injury to her right ankle, while James received one gun shot injury on her upper right arm and one on her upper back.
Stephany James was treated and released, while Maria Cruz remains admitted in stable condition.
