Taronn Sloan was shot in the chest at the Tilden Houses in Brownsville last month. Sloan is a member of the anti-gun violence group Brownsville In, Violence Out.
A man working as a violence interrupter became a victim of the very crime he was trying to eliminate in his community.
"He intervened in a situation in the lobby of where he live and he tried that everyday," said the Gun Violence Task Force Co-Chair A.T. Mitchell. "Met almost with fatal danger." "So many people are working day in and day out and putting themselves on the line and we want to show appreciation for that," Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright said.
