He appeared to duck from cameras while wearing a light-colored jacket with a drawstring at the bottom, a black hat and mask, dark gray hoodie and pants and white shoes.
"The other day we lost three people. Three. One of them was a teenager," said Val Free, founder and CEO of the Neighborhood Network Alliance."Some of our neighbors saw exactly what happened and are not saying anything. "Right now our community is hurting. South Shore has been in the news way too much lately for violent crimes that we have never seen before. It's time to stop. Enough is enough."
Community members are asking for funding for mental health services to help residents deal with the trauma created by crime.
