The same place was where two others were robbed but didn’t die and this one was robbed and killed.
Detroit — A city crew on Thursday boarded up a westside abandoned house that was used by criminals this week to lure three pizza delivery drivers into ambush robberies, one of whom was reportedly killed when he confronted his attacker.
The vacant house at 16557 Lenore Street in Detroit is the site of three robberies since Saturday, with the most recent incident ending in the shooting death Tuesday of 62-year-old Patrick Higgins, said Cmdr. Michael McGinnis, head of the Detroit Police Major Crimes Section.
McGinnis did not identify where the drivers worked, but he said employees from three different companies were lured to the vacant house near McNichols and Telegraph. When the drivers arrived, they were robbed, McGinnis said.

As I recalled on FR last week, I was a pizza delivery guy for an independent place inside Detroit in the late 1960s. The owner’s mother from Italy made the sauce every day.
The job opening came because the guy before me was held up by two guys one night. He remembered the cold feeling of the steel against his throat. He quit and I got the job.
Hmm…that’s fine and all, but obviously they’ll just pick another of Detroit’s endless supply of empty houses to commit the same crime. Here’s a crazy thought: How about finally admitting who is responsible for the vast majority of violent crime in the city, and putting the screws to them in every way possible while withdrawing anything even resembling a service from that hell hole until the “black community” finally deals with these animals in their midst themselves?
The problem is, I suspect there are few truly good normal people remaining in these urban ‘hoods. I’ve mentioned this in the past, but just look at what happens when the police stage a “bait car” in one of these places. The moment they think it’s unattended, absolute hordes of human roaches come running from every direction and swarm all over the car, even fighting over who is going to get to steal it. These types of places are beyond hope, except for the few good people who are not criminals and want a better life. For those few, I’d do anything to help them, but as for the rest just bring in the scoops, Soylent Green style.
