Fiesta,Cinco De Mayo,Violence

Amid the violence seen this weekend during Fiesta De Los Reyes at Market Square, vendors are cautiously preparing for the upcoming Cinco De Mayo celebration.

The shooting left the two gunmen dead and four bystanders hurt, but it wasn’t the first incident involving guns or violence at Market Square. A week earlier, on April 20, SAPD said officers heard a gunshot near the music stage under I-35 near Market Square. They found and arrested a man with a revolver.

“We close early to avoid anything happening to us,” said a vendor at Market Square, who asked to remain anonymous.
