Earlier in the year a homeless woman was randomly stabbed and killed while sitting on this very bench. It's suspected that it was part of some sort of gang initiation though I don't think they ever figured it out. It's sad that the bench is so undistinguished from the others, and I suspect it would be a different story if the woman who died there had a home, had a family. I usually prefer the tensions and narratives stand alone in the photographs but felt this one deserved a bit of a back story.
