This heartbreaking incident is another reminder that we must come together as a city, state and nation to address this violence and its root causes. No words can adequately express the pain and the sorrow of this tragedy. In the face of this loss, I ask the community to come together to support this family and to reaffirm our commitment to a safer city. "We will not rest until those responsible are held accountable and brought to justice." The incident happened at around 2:30 p.m. in the area of West 66th Street and Barberton Avenue.
