I know this stretch of CT has had drag races and the occasional violent crime but this feels like a significant escalation.

| Looks like multiple people shot and one killed near the Days Inn. That place is a magnet for crime. |

| I live in the apartments across the street. The shooting happened inside the Days Inn in the early morning hours. Fox5 updated it recently to say that the person is in critical and not dead as originally reported. |

| News say it started at a party inside the hotel. Who has a party in thr middle of the night in the middle of the week? |

People on vacation? Drug dealers? College kids? |

| Is that particular Days Inn a homeless shelter as reported in the DC Metro forum or is it a hotel again? |

| Hoping that all of the victims are okay -- what a horrific event. |

You can certainly currently book a room right now. I have not seen any comprehensive list of PEP-V hotels which are funded through FEMA $. |

You can book a room but the city is still putting Covid positive homeless in the hotel also. With the uptick in positives there is an increase in the number of homeless there at the moment. |

Not sure it's current status, but I rented a car from behind there the other day and the smell of pot from the entryway to the hotel was overwhelming. I have no idea if the gentlemen partaking where convention attendees or homeless but they looked very comfortable there smoking in public. |

| Police are currently stating that the shooting occurred during a hotel party. Also the fact that there is no lookout for the suspect indicates that the police have already made an arrest. So we have that going for us this time. |

Both is my impression although there won't be hotel guests much longer. Van Ness Main Street reported it is for sale. Maybe the city will put some kind of housing there? Who the city was housing there came up at a meeting Mary Cheh hosted. Once city bureaucrat said his agency did not have people there currently, Cheh did not respond. The police have received complaints re: drugs and sex trade re: the hotel in the past. Hope the victims will recover. It is my understanding that one woman was found dead and was revived at the scene. |

| There have been a lot of issues in the neighborhood. These are not the only 3 buildings reported as nuisance properties, just the most recent. None far from the Days Inn. It is very concerning. Many families used to live in those buildings and attend Murch, Deal and Wilson. The screening of tenants in these big properties and others and those housed in the Days Inn have been problematic. |
