This tragic story takes place in New York. Specifically, it all happened in Harlem. It was March 9, 1972, and Harlem was facing dark times. Although it was once a place of great relevance to the positives of black culture, it would soon become an area that faced a lot of turmoil. Drug addicts were beginning to take over the area and crime was following closely behind them. This led to middle-class families fleeing the area of Manhattan and taking refuge in the suburbs of Long Island and Westchester. With them gone, Harlem was now home to some of the poorest citizens of downstate New York. Statistically, almost two-thirds of households were bringing in less than $10,000. Vacant lots peppered the famous streets, and the area now had one of the highest crime rates in the city.

Despite the increase in crime in the area, few could ever imagine the horror the community was about to face.
