This year, though, the party is on. The city will spend more than $400,000 on a massive fiesta that some 60,000 people are expected to attend. The current mayor says authorities have more control over the violence now. But the murders continue on a daily basis, and not all residents say they feel secure.https://wamu.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/wamu-default-og-image.png1200630
