When Deshaun Fenwick was visiting his old neighborhood in Louisville, Ky., last December, he couldn’t walk across the street to his cousin’s house without getting a reminder of what life would be like without a relocation to Florida’s Suncoast.
There were often the loud, popping sounds of gun shots in the distance.
Growing up in Newburg, located on Louisville’s southeastern side, Fenwick said he saw a pizza delivery guy robbed and knew some of the guys that once robbed a taxi driver at 2 a.m.
That latter case, which saw the taxi driver killed, was brought to trial with a verdict in January 2017, where two people were found guilty of first-degree robbery but cleared of the murder charges.
