Ongoing.

Houston Police said a black teenage boy was found hanged outside an elementary school, reported the Houston Chronicle.

The boy was found in a remote corner on Ehrhardt Elementary School property in Spring, and Harris County sheriff’s deputies are investigating as a suicide.

2) Hot-spot policing

Yes, police practices have run into increasing criticism over the past couple years — with the advent of the Black Lives Matter movement and its protests against racial disparities in the criminal justice system and police use of force.

But police can, obviously, play a huge role in reducing crime, especially by adopting evidence-based tactics like hot-spot policing.

The idea, explained to me by famed criminologist David Kennedy: In many cities, a very small subset of places, down to the street and block level, drive most of the crime. So deploying police, intelligently, in these specific areas can have a big impact on fighting crime and violence.

"In many cities, a very small subset of places, down to the street and block level, drive most of the crime"

"It can be as simple as making sure your police presence is increased there, or it can be much more complicated," Kennedy said. "You can get partnerships of police, residents, families, parents, shop owners, building managers, and school officials." He added, "The more those interventions involve partnerships, the more effective those interventions can be."

The research strongly backs up the practice: Not only does it reduce crime, but it does so without displacing it to other areas and generally to positive reactions from locals. And as Kennedy said, the research suggests that bringing in community partners and focusing on the community's needs can boost the crime-fighting effects further.
