It's the historic heart of San Diego, but it's also being impacted by police lights and investigation tape.
"The association has expressed their concerns about the fact that we need more police. We need more PD officers in downtown so we hope that they hear our plea," Michael Trimble, executive director of the Gaslamp Quarter Association, said.
In the last couple of months, ABC 10News has reported on three separate shootings and an officer injured as he tried to break up a brawl."Stay away from Gaslamp [and] stay away from downtown because if you're carrying weapons you will be caught and the police are out and they're looking for you," he said.It impacted two women who were in town attending a National Apartment Association conference.
“The National Apartment Association is aware of the tragic shooting that occurred after our conference ended in the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego on June 24, 2022. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims. As we await results from the investigation underway with the San Diego Police Department, NAA leadership is conferring with our state and local associations to best determine how we can assist the victims," said a spokesperson for The National Apartment Association.
Trimble said there are 20 officers on bikes patrolling the area at night in addition to private security.
