What a terrible tragedy that occurred in the middle of our junction on Superbowl Sunday evening.

Shall we all wake up and do something about it?

A shooting in our junction is just NOT acceptable. A young life has been lost. .

This is OUR problem, this is OUR community.

Maybe you ask...what can I do about this?

How about attending a community crime prevention meeting or setting up your own neighborhood block watch.

How about calling or writing to our Mayor to let him know that the people of West Seattle will not stand for senseless violence in our community and that we want the perpetrators of this crime off of our streets.

How about asking for more police presence in the junction especially on the weekends and, as concerned citizens how about reporting any suspicious behavior in your neighborhood to the police without hesitation.

We have lost a member of our West Seattle Community, a young man that did not deserve to have his life taken away from him.
Let us all try and do something to stop violence in our community.
