[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the Days Inn on Conn Ave that had the shootout yesterday still being used as an overflow shelter? The one with 70 nuisance complaints since July? I hope the victims who are still alive quickly recover .[/quote]

It was, but no longer is. The shooting victims were attending a party in one of the hotel rooms, according to the police. [/quote]

While the victims were attending a party thrown by paying guests, the city still has 2-4 floors of homeless at the Days Inn. Calls to the police have continued and it has been put on the nuisance property list with the AG, I believe, but no action has been taken yet. The property was sold but neighbors say there was a long ground lease so the Days Inn still operates. The drug dealing out front and in the alley is pretty blatant. The city advertises the property to tourists as a budget option so there are still families and others paying to stay there. Maybe the AG will take action eventually...many of the apartment buildings in the neighborhood have also made the nuisance property list, it's quite a change in the neighborhood. There was a serious incident at The Connecticut House too, with more dv incidents and frequent MPD presence since. [/quote]
