She lives in an <br /> apartment building near the scene of Wednesday's alley shooting. Her door faces a narrow passageway <br /> cluttered with plants and toys and trash bags. <br /> "Bad things happen all around this area. It's not that the criminals live here, but they come here because of the <br /> alley. It's very dark there," she said. "That's why people gather there to do bad things or run into the alley to <br /> hide. They run through our apartments(passageway)here and into the alley and nobody ever sees them." <br /> Rivera said she doesn't see many police officers patrolling the area. <br /> "There's a certain point in the day where we go in our homes and don't really come out anymore,"she said. <br /> Staff writers Alyssa Duranty, Scott Schwebke and Jordan Graham contributed to this report. <br /> Contact the writer: Icasiano af7.ocregister.com <br /> ©Copyright 2016 Freedom Communications.All Rights Reserved. <br /> Privacy Policy&Terms of Service I Copyright I Site Map <br /> http'//www.ocregister.com/commortfprinterlview.php?db=ocregister&id=705000 3/3 <br /> REFERENCE #5 <br />
