Instead, they wound up in an unlit section of Ophelia Bonner Park. The park was once a well-kept, bustling playground before Jefferson Elementary School was closed a few years back. The city stopped maintaining the park, and it became a jungle of trees and debris. "You could lay down in the weeds and nobody would ever have seen you, the grass was so high," says Kenneth Hairston, 38, who lives next to the park. "It's a shame somebody had to die there before the city thought about cleaning...

Their area of Richmond, an industrial city outside of Oakland, is poor and tough but not violence-ridden. "It's a predominantly quiet street," Ophelia Stringer told the Mercury News. "It's not all shooting and drugs. It bothers us that all people say we're in gangs and have dysfunctional families. It's not true. We're normal people." Agreed police sergeant Mike Walter: "This is not the sort of neighborhood where we've had this sort of thing before; there have been...
