Community members and city leaders came together Friday to remember 6-year-old Rylee Love and call for an end to the recent spike in gun violence in Detroit involving children and teens.

Detroit Police are asking the public to help identify the suspects responsible for a drive-by shooting that injured a 7-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy who were asleep in a home on Detroit’s east side.

"It’s not us and them," White says, "It’s we."

Interim Detroit police chief James White warned dangerous drivers that police officers will pursue them and seize their vehicles too.

As protests continue, some believe a decision Detroit police made over summer to quickly release body-cam video of a shooting helped stop a potential riot.

DETROIT The outrage over George Floyds killing in Minneapolis has spilled over into violence around the country, but in Detroit, authorities and community leaders are working together to keep protests peaceful. From Detroit City Hall to the neighborhoods, people are making sure violence and vandalism is contained during protests. That success has a lot to do with the relationships police build with community leaders such as Maurice Hardwick, better known as Pastor Mo. Detroiters such as artists Trick Trick, Tray Little and Gabrielle Wilson all defended the city. You can hear from Bettison and Pastor Mo in Shawn Leys full video posted above.
