One Houston woman is urging the public to help solve her husband's murder case.
It was the topic of discussion at Friday's No More Violence Summit at The Church at Bethel's Family in southwest Houston.
Several families of gun violence victims remembered their loved ones through pictures and prayers at the campus. "I've been burying a lot of young people," says Pastor Walter August, Jr. "We have members who are in pain. We have to provide opportunities for those who need to work, and I personally believe that every teenager needs to have a job that puts some legal money in their pocket.
Patricia Allen, Co-Founder of the No More Violence Organization, urged the youth in attendance to not retaliate against violence with more violence. Melody Celestine says she hopes those families can heal while also waiting on justice in those murder cases. "I understand the community where my husband was being fearful of not wanting to share, but at some point, we have to stop being afraid," says Celestine.
The No More Violence Summit continues Saturday morning with an emphasis on gang violence, road rage, and human trafficking. Houston Police Chief Troy Finner and Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg are both scheduled to attend.
