The area is known as “The Compound,” an undeveloped neighborhood subject to years of complaints and several recent high-profile crimes. These include last month’s arrests of a man and a woman following a 30-year-old’s shooting death in The Compound and the arrest of a man accused of killing a woman, dismembering her and burning her body there earlier this year.
