Several residents expressed their concerns about the recent increase in crime and raised questions about their personal safety. King Jordan mentioned that he recently relocated to the complex as per NBC Miami.
“It’s kind of crazy, but we have guarded gates, and Opa-Locka Police spend the night here every night, so I don’t know what the problem is,” Jordan said. “But to know someone got shot, it does make me feel kind of questionable about the move.”
