Abstract:
71 murders were committed in the Triangle area in 1990 which is up from the previous year. While the use of handguns and black-on-black violence is alarming, police attribute the increase in murders to the increase in population in the Triangle, not drugs or gang violence. Most of the murders were not sensational and were committed by acquaintances of the victims. All 71 are recounted on a case-by-case basis.

Abstract:
Abandoned homes, such as 212 E. Geer St. in Durham, are primarily situated in low-income, minority neighborhoods where lending banks aren’t likely to pay for upkeep. This often leads to a crime problem as squatters, prostitutes, and drug dealers use the property for illegal purposes. This affects the neighborhood community as property values decrease and crime increases as banks let the houses fall apart. In Durham, some community groups are acting to try to renovate houses and make the neighbors a safer place.

Erick Daniels is serving a ten-year prison sentence for an alleged armed robbery, but there is doubt about his involvement. Several sources indicate that another man attempted to confess to the crime for which Daniels was convicted. The sources, including Daniel’s attorney, his mother, another suspect in the case, and the woman who was robbed all talk about Samuel Strong’s potential involvement. Strong fits the description of the person who committed the robbery and is currently serving time for bank robbing.
