Residents gather to rally for violence prevention

Posted:

Kristyana's murder has lead to a lot of outrage in Elkhart.

So Friday night, a city-wide forum on violence prevention was held at the North Side Gym.

Residents came together to share with local leaders their concerns about crime.

Jason Moreno organized this after receiving five pages of signatures from people..

They wanted an in-depth conversation of recent violent crimes including the shooting death of Kristyana Jackson.

Moreno says, "It was the murder of Kristyana Jackson. That and in tandem with a bunch of other violent crimes that seem to be doubting themselves across our city that's created a need."

The goal of the forum is to help the public work in conjunction with the police department.
