Kay Drive back in the news again eh? SMH
I said the same thing! It’s ridiculous and they have got to do something about that area and quick! We have a family member that lives there and there’s way too much going on there! The shooting that happened not long ago that killed the guy was literally a few doors away. We don’t like to go visit just because it’s so dangerous out there. And those children that are there, it sickens me to know that they are all in danger everyday out there. Every time we’ve passed by, there’s so many innocent children outside playing, riding bikes, etc… and now they are being subjected to that mess. It’s just sad. The management at that apartment complex is the most unorganized and they have no clue how to manage anything and it shows! The police have placed a monitoring system out there and it’s still a problem to be in that area! SMH
