Residents near local park sound off about graffiti problem

Friday, March 30, 2007

Residents living around a Montrose area park, the scene of a deadly gang fight, want something done to stop gang graffiti.

We're told on Thursday night, a resident saw what he says were several gang members spray-painting graffiti on public property in Chew Park. That's where 15-year-old Gabriel Granillo was killed last June. Seventeen-year-old Ashley Benton is awaiting trial for that murder. Residents are calling for something to be done.

"I think if they put more lighting up or put little lights up on the sidewalk, then it will deter a lot of crime activity," said Allen Cole, who lives near the park.

Cole has filed a police report.
