  3. Stephanie Hovsepian this is close to plane tree ?

    A KTLA report this morning interviewed a Sheriff’s Deputy who says this area has become much more dangerous last 6 months, there’s even been a murder there. I’d like to know more, sounds like gang activity/ drugs dealing and so on, we need a follow-up article in a local paper.
    Also a bigger map area showing where this is relative to the SCV more clearly.

  5. lu madar says:

    The previous shooting I find was on April 3, this year ALSO in the same block, eerily also on a Monday evening: definitely something major and ugly happening in this immediate area that needs to be dealt with.

    At least one person was shot and killed in an exchange of gunfire in Newhall Monday evening, according to sheriff’s officials.

    From a news report April 3, 2017:

    “Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 21300 block of Bottletree Lane near the intersection of Valle Del Oro and Dockweiler Drive shortly after 8 p.m. after a 911 call reporting gunfire in the area was received.”

  6. Travis Levy says:

    All the money SCV is spending to improve Newhall all goes to waste when you continuously have issues like this happening in Newhall. Lets clean up the trash before we start expanding. Hopefully the deputy makes a speedy recovery and the suspect not so much. We don’t need to pay for him in prison.

  7. David says:

    They must in way use thei law to confiscate the properties of these crime, gang related and drugs probably.

    • Nunuvyor Biz says:

      I don’t recall the story mentioning any drugs or gang activity. Not every shooting is gang related it has to do with drugs. There are many scenerios that could’ve occurred, none if which were mentioned in this news report.

  8. Josh G says:

    I live on Dockweiler. The neighborhood is split by two sides. The north side of Dockweiler has condos (called the Vistas). The residents in the Vistas look out for each other and try to keep their tract free of crime. The apartments south of Dockweiler (on the opposite side of the street) are ghetto and getting worse by the day. Some thug was killed in these apartments a few months ago. Now, if you hang a left on Dockweiler to Valle De Oro and go down towards Newhall Ave. good luck!! The apartments at the bottom of the hill are crime-ridden. They are basically the projects of Santa Clarita.

  9. mama bear says:

    We deliver meals (or did) to a family on Bottletree for the Senior Center, but I don’t remember the exact address. Too bad. They are nice people, and they don’t deserve to be painted by such a broad brush. We live just over the hill, and I was awake most of the night with helicopters flying overhead. Didn’t have any idea what was going on until I checked SCVEmergency.com.
