That's pretty freaky I'd agree. During the day in what looks like a pretty decent, busy area.
That horrific fatal daytime carjacking in DC also looks like it happened in a pretty decent part of the city. (I was in that area of DC with my kids just a couple of years ago.)
Freakish things can happen at anytime, anywhere.
But when they start happening more and more regularly in areas usually deemed safe, in broad daylight, that's when it starts to get eerily reminiscent of the bad old days of the 1970s and 1980s in US big cities.
