Curious to know what happened on Olive street by the high school?ed lots of police vehicles and streets are all blocked off.

Does anybody know why there is a very large police presence on the corner of Olive and Carrillo with street closures?
Just a few years ago (2013) Kelly Mitchell Hunt was murdered by two gang members (Isaac Jimenez, Joseph Castro) on the same block of Olive Street. That part of the street is very dark at night. Perhaps more street lighting would help? Or enforcing laws to keep criminals off the streets.
My Grandfather lived right there in the 70’s.
Sure has changed.
Psshh, only the 3rd stabbing in the vicinity in the last month. Nothing to see here, folks…
Kelly Hunt was a rival gang member from Ventura not sure if you left that part out on purpose. So another gang related killing.
No gang problems here, nope none at all. Let’s all give thanks to those fine liberal Superior Court judges that have been appointed by our very concerned governor(s) for doing everything in their power to keep gang members behind bars.
Nothing to see here. You are just a racist if you think there is an ever growing gang problem in our community.
