I just moved from Albuquerque the Feb. before last. I did some volunteer work for the Albuquerque Rescue mission 2 years ago. Alb. has far les homeless and far less fatal hit and runs of homeless people.

This article was from the 2000 Rocky Mountain News "A jury on Monday will begin deliberating the fate of Christopher Ball, who could face life in prison for the killing of a homeless man.

The Denver district attorney is prosecuting Ball, 16, and two other young men in the fatal beating of Melvin Washington, 47, on Sept. 8."

another clip from 2000 said
"Colorado Springs police and Denver detectives are trying to determine whether the assaults and slayings of homeless men in both cities are connected."
