Who’s Injuring and Killing Pedestrians in Precinct 69?

Blood on the Asphalt, Blame on Their Hands

Blood on the Asphalt, Blame on Their Hands

Precinct 69: Jan 1, 2022 - Jul 17, 2025

The Toll in Blood and Bone

In Precinct 69, the numbers do not lie. Eleven people killed. Seventeen left with serious injuries. Over two thousand hurt. These are not just numbers. Each one is a body on the street, a family left waiting for someone who will not come home.

The dead are young and old. A 14-year-old boy, crushed at an intersection. A 66-year-old man, struck by an SUV. A woman, gone in the crosswalk. The roll call of loss does not end.

The Machines That Kill

Cars and SUVs do most of the damage. Out of all pedestrian injuries and deaths, seven were killed by cars or SUVs, one by a truck or bus, none by bikes or mopeds. The pattern is clear. The danger is heavy and fast, not light and slow.

The Police: Tools in Hand, Will in Question

The police in Precinct 69 have the tools. They can ticket speeders. They can crack down on reckless drivers. They can stand at the corners where people keep dying. But the dying does not stop.

The Human Cost

A mother loses her only daughter. “It’s devastating. It’s affecting everyone in our family, especially (Ruiz’s) mom. Maddy was her only daughter,” said Ruiz’s sister-in-law. Days later, the tire marks are still there. The blood is gone, but the pain remains.

A man is killed by a driver doing donuts in a parking lot. “He lost control when he was doing donuts with the vehicle,” said the driver to police. The car is dented. The woman is dead. The driver is charged, but the loss is forever.

Leadership: Action or Excuse?

The laws are there. The precinct can enforce them. The city can lower speed limits. The council can demand more. But the bodies keep piling up. Every day without action is another day someone dies.

Call your council member. Call the precinct. Demand speed enforcement. Demand real change. Do not wait for another name to be added to the list.
