Guardian Angels to meet with armed citizens' patrol
An 18-year-old man was shot to death late Tuesday in Edgewood Park, a day after a citizen's group said it was arming itself to combat rampant street crime in that area of the city.
The park slaying was the second shooting death Tuesday. Earlier in the day, a 30-year-old man was gunned down on nearby George Street in the city's West River section, and later died at the Hospital of Saint Raphael. The two deaths were the city's fourth and fifth homicides of the year and the third and fourth this month.
The killings came on the same day as the Guardian Angels pledged to meet with Orthodox Rabbi Daniel Greer and other Edgewood neighborhood activists who Monday announced the formation of the armed Edgewood Park Defense Patrol, claiming police were not doing enough to keep the area's residents safe.
