Meant, all Hispanic, one black
[scared][censored] The city is stating they are making youth violence a priority, but where is the investment (according to a story in news.vice.com). We told the city staff and council at the beginning of the year, if they don't do anything to invest in violence intervention, the city is on track to get close to 30+ homicides..19 homicides, (14 gang related) one black, only 11 more to go…smh...
