Quadruple shooting latest violence episode in area
Sunday morning's shooting was not the only instance of a shooting in recent weeks.
Earlier this month, a shooting left a cab driver dead.
Neighbor Creola Harris witnessed the aftermath of that shooting.
"That was traumatizing, because he laid in the street uncovered there for like over six hours," Harris said.
Barbara Toombs also lives near 18th and Vine.
"Why did that poor cab driver have to get killed just making a trip there," Toombs said. "I think I have lived.... through two and a half years I have lived through four shootings down here. It's scary."

On Thursday, a new Urban Youth Academy was announced for the area.
Neighbors said they are happy to see the growth, but feel more needs to be done.
