“There’ve been a lot of problems with the community because there are a lot of victims,” Barona said.
The residents' concerns have reached the highest office in the City of Doral. Mayor Christi Fraga met with residents personally on Tuesday, stating that she has been in contact with property management regarding enhanced security measures.

“I have very close relationships to most of the residents in our community. And so I'm usually called directly on my cellphone when these types of things happen,” Fraga said.
Fraga said Doral police have made an arrest in connection with the case, but residents said their concerns persist as it relates to security.
NBC6 has reached out to the management company for comment.
