I worked in the N. Shepherd and 610 area where much of those murders took place back then. At times is was like a war zone. I actually thought the number was a bit higher that that though. I do remember that we had the distinction at the time of being the murder capital of the nation during those murderous years.
I’m from Houston, and have witnessed some of those murders in bars and nightclubs, it used to be a very wild town.
