In Our Neighborhood II

I know that “ghost bikes” are placed where people have died in bicycle accidents so I wondered when I was riding the bus and caught a glimpse of a white painted shopping cart in front of the Jewel supermarket if a pedestrian had died while crossing the street to shop. Since the cart had a sign with the name Eugenio Escriba, I googled it and the truth turned out to be more disturbing. Eugenio died on November 20, 2019 in the custody of the store’s security after being detained for suspected shoplifting. There still aren’t a lot of answers about exactly what happened and what action Jewel-Osco has taken in regards to the security staff so I imagine that whoever put the ghost shopping cart in front of the Jewel is hoping to make sure the neighborhood continues to ask questions.
