This was west of 4th, which is a safer area generally (not reallly unsafe at all)

I agree on both parts. I always wonder ponder the existence of those two payphones on 4th and 2nd. Do the crackwhores actually make them profitable? Are there two so they don't go violent on the storekeeper if one is broken? If they got rid of the payphones would it help decrease the sketchiness there? I mean I see them being used by lots of different people so it must add to the draw of the location.
About the murder, eek, I walk right there down 14th and 15th west of 4th all the time at night to avoid having to wade through the drunks at National and the Ship and Anchor and I agree it doesn't seem unsafe as far as inner city areas go. Coincidentally I stopped using 6th street to cut across there to 17th Ave at night mostly because there's at least one really rowdy party house in that two blocks there. These guys are a block away from the murder so in all likelihood it's probably not them but I'm pretty sure the place was brimming with effed up (hard-partying) young'ns even on a couple weeknights so I just thought avoiding that one spot was prudent.
