“We’re getting a different clientele moving in,” she said. “We’re thinking about moving.”
Action News Jax was on Plum Street back in October for a separate shooting. JSO’s crime map reports nine assaults within a one-mile radius of Plum Street in the past four weeks alone.
“I don’t even take my dogs for a walk anymore,” Faltesek added. “We get scared to take a walk.”
