Members of the LAPD’s homeless outreach team as well as the RESET Unit, which serves skid row’s homeless population, have been visiting homeless encampments since Sunday to warn the community about the potential predator, Central Division Capt. Marc Reina said. An estimated 4,300 homeless people live in the skid row community, just a few blocks from where the attacks took place, according to a report released by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority earlier this year.
