WACO (November 18, 2009)--Phillip Haynes says he just wanted to make a difference when he took over the former Clifton Corner Store where in May 2008, storeowner Ali Sohl was gunned down outside the business.
Sohl's murder remains unsolved.
Haynes says he started Swift P's JKP Pizza last month because he was frustrated that no one would deliver to East Waco.
He says he's been dreaming of the pizzeria for the last 12 years.
For a while, business was good. Haynes says he delivered 100 pizzas the first day.
But on Wednesday morning, crime found its way back to the store at the corner of East Waco Drive and Clifton Street.
Haynes says someone threw a manhole cover through his window, reached in, and stole a moneybag and a bunch of cigarettes.
He says replacing the window will cost him $1500.
Haynes is asking anyone with information about either crime should call Waco police.

Disgusted, Stand up, Do something beides complain and point fingers.... someone else's problem not yours! say something nice or nothing at all.
I stand by my previous comments. You cannot expect the city, state, or anyone else to fix the crime problem in a ghetto. They would have to have an officer on duty at that busines 24/7 and that is just not possible. East Waco cannot be fixed. Waco cannot be fixed.
