Judkins Park… post a description of the little thugs. I walk the park daily, recognize the locals, and would love to contribute to their potential identification and incarceration.

Where did the Judkins Park mugging happen? The address “9304 20th St” doesn’t seem to be an address that exists in this neighborhood.
