Mayor Dewey Bartlett praised the Police Department for its work to make timely arrests in what he described as “this hideous quadruple murder.”
“We can now get to the essence of this issue, and that is much bigger than crime; it’s about poverty,” Bartlett said Wednesday.
“We’re moving forward on our mission to establish a method to hold out-of-state apartment owners accountable for safe, secure and peaceful places to live. We continue to look down every possible avenue on how we can improve our city.”
