Carr Square and the blocks around North 13th have experienced several violent episodes this year, including a deadly street shooting in March near the 1400 block of N. 13th Street that resulted in charges, a trend local reporters have documented. That recent history has made police appeals for community tips especially urgent, according to reporting on a deadly street shooting in March.
