And an update to it:

I live near Catholic Uni and believe that you can get robbed in the area, but why would anyone take the victim to campus to do that? The plaza where this happened is right at the entrance to campus and you'd go there only if you want to make sure you'd be caught. There are cameras everywhere, and people walk there in the morning to get to work and visit the Basilica which opens at 8 am. I haven't seen any ATMs close by. Also, the police said they actually knew each other, so the update doesn't make any sense unless his acquaintance robbed him. [/quote]

Do you think muggers with guns are that smart? Or maybe they are smart - this one hasn’t gotten caught yet. And of course, the ideal place to get victims is a lightly trafficked area. [/quote]

The CUA area has always been sketch. Maybe "gentrified" in the last decade or two, but still sketch. [/quote]

Not true. It has not been sketch for a long time. I bought my first house there in 1998 and it was fine then. With that being said, you still have to be smart. [/quote]

That stretch is highly visible to morning traffic on Michigan Avenue, people are coming and going out of the Starbucks and shopping triangle across the street, and people are walking on the campus and at the Dominican House across the street at that hour of the morning.  That said, it was the morning after a holiday so probably quieter than usual.  Still an unlikely target place when under the metro bridge is more remote.  I’m wondering if this guy walked down from Trinity with him. . . [/quote]
