Community members also want more community investment by the City.
The rally took place at Milton Avenue and Monument Street.
“We need economic opportunity, equity and building wealth for our community,” said David Harris, from McEldery Park Community Association. “Because what they do is to get access to finances, to be able to take care of the families and if they don’t have those resources then they come to the streets. They get in petty beefs and then the beefs lead to gun violence and gun violence leads to death and or imprisonment.”
On Tuesday night, five people were shot on Boarman Street.
On Tuesday afternoon, four people were shot on N. Rose Street. One of those victims died.
Police have not made any arrests in those cases. Anyone with information should call Metro CrimeStoppers at 1-866-7-lockup.
