Part 3/13:
In late July, a tragic incident unfolded: a man was beaten to death on a nearby office park's makeshift campsite, less than a block from the shelter. The suspect, Samuel Hitchcock, a 28-year-old with an extensive arrest record—including assaults, weapon violations, and harassment—remains at large. The victim, Jason Clark, 54, had previously been kicked out of the shelter and was sleeping in the bushes. Witnesses reported Hitchcock spilling alcohol on Clark, sparking an argument that culminated in deadly violence.
