It's along the Prince Memorial Greenway in downtown Santa Rosa where police say 61-year-old Lisa McCool, a homeless woman, was stabbed to death.
The steady flow of water hitting the rocks along Santa Rosa Creek may look tranquil, but it’s here along the Prince Memorial Greenway between Santa Rosa Avenue and ‘A’ Street around eleven o’clock Sunday night, where police say 61-year-old Lisa McCool was stabbed to death."Hurting the homeless, it’s messed up. It’s scary," said Amy Jacobs, who is homeless.Jacobs doesn’t feel safe along the trail, and she’s not alone.
Despite McCool’s murder, police said homicides are down significantly in Santa Rosa, from a total of ten in 2024, to two this year."I just do want to underscore the fact that this was a victim of a crime, whether she was homeless or not," Santa Rosa Police Captain Dan Marincik told KTVU. "It’s definitely a tragedy in our community."59-year-old Edmund Wilson, a former nurse, has called the streets home for eight years, and believes they’re getting more dangerous.
