I was mugged in Hampden a bit more than a week before your incident. Two guys with guns tried to rob my wife and me a half block from our house. I wound up getting shot in the leg before they took off in a waiting car. Thankfully my wife was unhurt and they didn't get any of our things.

It's rough out there, I'm sorry you had this happen.

Ahh this was the one off Keswick right? Sorry to hear that. I live in the neighborhood. How has your recovery gone?

Things were getting a little crazy/weird in Hampden over the summer with car jackings then months to follow. Hope you’re well!

Thanks! Yep, that's the one. Recovery is going okay, I'm walking around again which is nice.

Where in Hampden was this? I didn't even hear about that.

Around the 3000 block of Keswick Road, in the alleyway leading up from the path to the bridge on Wyman Park Drive.

Oh yeah, I think I do remember hearing about this. When was this? Did they catch the people who did it?

It was at the end of October. As far as I know, they haven't been caught yet.

Jesus, I thought Hampden was one of the safer areas…

It generally is, which is why this group targeted the area. These guys have been doing carjackings and armed robberies for the last few months in this area (might even be the same group that got OP) because people aren't expecting it in a "safe" area, the victims are generally fairly well off, and so far they've suffered no consequences for their actions. Why give it up?
