Reading the article, sounds like the Bounty Hunters need to get their shyt together.


Whiteman said arrests have been made in half of the homicides in Nickerson Gardens. Six of the eight, he said, were gang-related, and four of those were the result of internal disputes within the Bounty Hunter Bloods. “That is a very unique wrinkle to it,” he said. “It’s not a traditional back-and-forth gang feud where we have historical feuds that sometimes spawn into a weeklong shooting spree back and forth between neighborhoods. These situations, which are internal, are much more unpredictable. It’s a little bit harder to fully deploy resources to interdict [this] violence.”

Meanwhile from the same article,

Just a mile or so from Nickerson Gardens, the Jordan Downs housing development shows signs of revitalization.
But nestled within the sprawling development is a $1-billion housing project, modern townhouse apartments with Spanish tile roofs, The buildings have names such as Cedar Grove and New Harvest, instead of generic Jordan Downs Building 1 and Building 2. And unlike Nickerson Gardens, there’s been only one homicide committed here in 2021. Julio Cesar Centeno, 32, was shot to death on Aug. 8 near the corner of South Grape Street and East 97th. “Things have changed a lot for the better,” said Phyllis Brown, a former Jordan Downs block captain. “There are not robberies like there used to be, not shooting people; things are getting better with the police too.”

Earlier that day, about 500 families took part in a holiday toy giveaway at the Jordan Downs Center, hosted by former Grape Street Watts Crips member Bow Wow. (dude that robbed and beat Bizzy Bone)
