BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Community members came together Tuesday evening to call for an end to gun violence on Buffalo's East Side.
These calls come after one teenager was killed and five others were injured in a shooting on Alexander Place near Jefferson Ave late Saturday night.
Kareema Morris, Founder of Bury the Violence, is pleading with the unknown shooter to come forward.
"Someone come forward. I hope that their spirit is disrupted and they come forward and speak up," Morris said. "It can be your family member so just remember even
Councilwoman Zeneta Everhart says local leaders plan to take action.
"Since this shooting happened, I've been talking with several community organizations," said Councilwoman Everhart. "So we are putting together a short youth summit to talk about things like this and bring our youth together and do training and programming."
The doors at Trust God Ministries are always open to youth and young adults, according to founder Bruce Warrick.
"We can help these kids deal with their trauma," Warrick said. "We have a bunch of kids running around that have yet to face their trauma and what they're doing is they're bleeding on each other."
