    Here come the “what is happening to Santa Clarita” and “awesometown” comments.

  2. Daniel Konz Daniel Konz says:

    Here come the “this town has turned ghetto” comments..!

  3. I was thinking the same thing Steven Craig!

  4. James Campbell what’s going on over there

  5. Let’s be honest though…… It is getting quite frequent this dead body/ murder thing……I have lived there 27 years….. I moved away last November but things are certainly changing. I have NEVER dubbed it awesometown though. Not my kinda awesome

  6. Gregory Bell Gregory Bell says:

    Was this article written by Jimmy two times? (Goodfellas)

  7. Shey Briones Shey Briones says:

    Thank god you moved out of there Karla Briones

  9. Have you ever heard the term”natural causes”. Every death is investigated and an autopsy is required if they aren’t under the care of a doctor. That being said, let’s all say at once,”Oh,oh, Jakes Way?” Lol

    • Its not Jake’s Way actually. These apartments are over the bridge, across the wash from Jake’s Way.

    • Kelli Garner Kelli Garner says:

      He had a gun shot wound to the chest per an article in The Signal.

    • Oh, that’s not sounding natural at all! Just kidding about Jakes Way. Actually I didn’t know exactly where it was, but everyone thinks everything bad that happens, happens on Jakes Way.lol

    • To be not considered a Coroner case, you have had to see your doctor within the last few months… Certain cities no matter call every car a coroner case like Santa Monica, even if they saw their doctor a day before….signed an oncology nurse and hospice nurse.

    • Jakes way and the apartments that this occurred both have a long history of issues. If I had the money, I would buy those buildings and demolish them.

    • Yes, this apartment building is part of the crime zone over there by Jakes Way.

    • I’m aware of the problems there, but a few problems doesn’t make every resident a criminal. There are ways to clean up the bad apples but the management needs to be pressured not to rent to the multi family types and ck police records and cr. on new tenants. Evict the trouble and raise the rents. A lot of good hard working families live in there too. Most I’m sure, with kids.

  10. Parts of Canyon Country are our ghetto and then there are nice parts as well
    You can’t escape anything even out here
    There are wackos everywhere it seems

    • I’d say the getto of Santa Clarita is all around downtown Newhall and east of heart high school. Wouldn’t walk around their alone. Also the trailer park, and homes on and around it, on San Fernando rd,aka, Newhall ave. makes canyon country look like Beverly Hills, so stop with picking on country country. And I’m sure there are good people stuck in old newhall too.

  11. JoAnn Faris JoAnn Faris says:

    There seems to be a lot of violence this year..this is two murders in the same complex in a few months…scary

  12. This was old apartments Reg Boczko

  13. What the hell a murder there every week in canyon country??

  14. That apartment complex needs to be demolished and 7 out 10 crimes in that area will disappear.

  15. I used to live in that apartment on the second floor on the right … What a shame .

  16. Lots of deaths here lately, not good

  17. Sandra Franco Trohanowsky Tell me about it..itd crazy!

  18. In every forest, there’s a snake…

  19. Anywhere and everywhere there is crime it cannot be avoided. It’s a shame because I too used to live there.

  20. Anywhere and everywhere there is crime it cannot be avoided. It’s a shame because I too used to live there.
