On Monday, Oct. 11, community members were stapling posters, going door-to-door and urging neighbors to take a look.

“Shot at point blank range at 7:30 in the morning. All I can say is Jesus Christ,” said community activist Malik Shabazz.

“It’s just getting to be a shame that people got so much hatred in their heart. It’s just senseless killing, it needs to stop,” said Capri Williamson.
