Yes, and has been for a decade or two. It's mostly been confined to the west side of town though.

There's been a rash of it close to campus though over the past 5 or 6 years that is largely swept under the rug by the city and University. Not necessarily murders, but armed robberies and such.

Do you think students are targets or just random string? I know these shooting isn't involved with UA, but just in general.

Well, that part's just not true, and anytime it involves a student, I get emailed about it so they can nip rumors in the bud.

Most all of the violent crime is confined to the west side, but that's not exclusive. As student apartment capacity exceeds the student population, you will see the problem spread to what were formerly student apartments, similar to what happened in Auburn.
